Description of Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Without a doubt, KOEI's flagship Romance of The Three Kingdoms games are some of the best and most original historical strategy games ever made. Based on the classic Chinese epic of the same name, choose to play as one of the warlords vying to unite the far-flung Chinese empire in the 10th century.
The first entrant in the RtK series strikes a near-perfect balance between historical flavor and fun, as they feature hundreds of real historical personalities, each with unique traits, and great diplomatic and espionage options. The tactical-level combat is not only fun, but truly reward those who take Sun Tzu's 'Ancient Art of War' tome to heart (among the most effective tactics are flanking your enemies from high ground, and luring them into an ambush). One of the game's keys to success is the introduction of intricate personnel management that adds a whole new dimension never before seen in a computer game. Recruiting and rewarding your most capable generals is as important to victory as slaying your opponent's most valued generals in combat (if you can't persuade him to your cause). You can also try to woo your opponents' generals to your side by bribery or personal visits, for which having a high charisma level is all-important.
Romance of The Three Kingdoms 1 also boasts numerous other gameplay options that wonderfully capture the culture and society of China at the time: for instance, the number of your population and morale level determines how big an army you can raise, and improved irrigation and donations to the public are prerequisites to high harvest yields and happy townsfolk. You must also contend with natural disasters such as flood, locusts, and plague that can come without warning.
Overall, an all-time strategy classics that belong to every strategy gamer's collection. Two thumbs up!

@Zoot For @Jimmy, answer after 3 years maybe useless. But for other people that end up reading this and having a same problem, the answer is very useful.
Too late maybe, but the answer will be never meaningless :)
Zoot2017-03-18-3 points
My friends and I would play this game for hours.
By the way answering questions 3 and 5 years later probably is meaningless :)
Phoenix2016-10-011 point DOS version
try to open one of the EXE, COM or BAT file, one of them has to be colored

@JIMMY: Whence you've downloaded the game, mount the game, CD to whatever you called the folder you put it in, then choose MAIN.EXE. Then, it will ask if you want it in colour mode. It will give you a choice of Y/N. Choose Y to make it go into colour mode. You're good.
Jimmy2011-11-282 points DOS version
This game works, but how do I make sure I have color when playing it? The game automatically shoves me into the old black and white mode, from this time period, instead of the much better VGA/SVGA graphics for this time period.
I also found that ROTK 3 was being tough to run, but maybe I screwed something up on my end.Maybe I need to have DOS Box that people have said on this site before.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms enthusiasts know how much nicer the game looks and functions when run on the computer. It just doesn’t translate well to the constrained console screen! But Koei stopped releasing Romance of the Three Kingdoms for Windows in English with the fourth installation. Fortunately these games tend to be translated to English by fans. To preserve these translations and to share them with a larger audience we present them here… for your downloading pleasure!

Patch Installation
You must have a full installation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI in order to use the English patch. To install, download the .zip patch file using the link above, and use Windows or a decompression tool such as WinZip to open the file. Copy the San11_Eng.exe file to the same directory as your original San11.exe application file (do not delete the old file, you never know when you may need it). To launch the game with English translations, play with the San11_Eng.exe file instead of San11.exe.

Patch Troubleshooting
We have heard of very few issues associated with the game patch so far, especially with a full unedited installation of the game to work with. Some users who have modified files in order to make the game run without the actual game disc have to launch the original game executable, San11.exe, and exit out, before the English-patched San11_Eng.exe will launch (otherwise it silently dies with no error). San11_Eng.exe does not seem to modify any other game files, so other problems may be temporary, solved by restarting the system.
Patched Game Screenshots
The game’s primary title menus have all been translated sufficiently to allow efficient and intuitive navigation. You should have no trouble configuring the game resolution, creating a new game, and loading games that you have saved. Though it won’t be hard to access the Encyclopedia or Tutorial, both of those sections remain untranslated.

Detailed sections, such as the windows for creating new officers, creating new games, and loading a game, have been translated enough that they are usable with a little inspection.

Primary menus used for even obscure kingdom or game management functions have been translated at least in part. Detailed information tables which rely on city or officer names may still be difficult to use, as they remain untranslated, but this may change in the future. The small space provided by the game for these tables makes English translation more difficult.

City Selected
To help with with complicated and game-vital city menus, I have assembled a diagram which shows you how city menus interact. English translations for these menus are excellent, and for those of you who aren’t using the patch, this should help improve ease of game use significantly.

Most important information views, such as officer profiles, the China map, and the army preparation screen, all feature enough basic translation that they are usable with a little experimentation.
