The series is a exercise in micro-management, but I can't stop playing it.
Its also a bit ludricious how some of the scenarios play out. In IIRC Sango 8,as a vagabond Liu Bei staying in Yuan Shao camp, I moved out to Jiangnan, where Meng Huo base would be and all his generals are there. Once there, I began to corner generals to my cause, significantly weakening Cao Cao faction by mistake when my defecting Guan Yu took away a region of his, yielding me much welcomed cash. From this pathathetic city in the south, I would overwhelm the whole of China by 210 AD, and the ending portion of the game just seemed to play out like some Civ 2 scenario, where I would make peace, be attacked or had the truce broken and me launching simultaneous assaults on all frontiers to overwhelm Sun Ce cities.
