SUMMARY:
This game is pretty good. The new abilities like ability to have a wife and sworn brother are cool. The choice of starting position in China like start as a liege, vassal, free or start a band and begin in any city in all of china. Then from there build up your force to one day rule all of china.
The downside of all of this is you are supposed to be able to have children but for some strange reason you can't which makes the point of getting married pointless unless your going for 100% events.
Some of the sages that you must get to know to receive an item or to get married to someone close to them is almost impossible because you have no idea where they are unless you stumbled upon them by mistake.
Some are easy to find though because they stay in one place but all the others are impossible to find.
