Frankly, from the look of the screens and their whole plan, this really looks like an earlier Koei game clone (same currencies, same high concept of loyalty and command by number of men, same sort of diplomatic options) - although to be fair, the earlier Koei ROTK games were all pretty different takes beyond their bland numbers, so this might be the case here too.
I am very superficial: I am very curious to know if they’ll offer individual portraits for all of the historical figures.
I’ll wait as well: thank you for putting it on the radar!
