So if you fancy something a little more cerebral and of a slightly slower pace, then you're going to enjoy FotD . China FotD covers the three kingdoms period where China was divided into, surprisingly enough, three kingdoms. You become the ruler of any one of these kingdoms and must steer yourself to glory and ultimate power. Well, at least after the tutorial you will. Tutorial gives you an initial helping hand Going out and clobbering the enemy is all well and good, but if you can't manage your resources properly you can forget about sending highly trained military units into battle, you won't even be able to send in a peasant with a wok.
Resources come in the form of wood and iron, corn and meat, food and wine and also gold.
Both wood and iron are non-renewable and used mostly for construction and research. Corn and meat come from farms and are used to make food and wine in the workshops. You can have up to five peasants in the farms and workshops and can decide what you want them to work on. Without food and wine, your army will eventually starve to death, so you could say it's all a little bit important. Gold is taxed from the people and used for just about everything.
