Game Over Online ~ Fate of the Dragon Windows, Pentium II-300, 32MB Ram, 320MB HDD, 4x CD-ROM Thursday, March 15th, 2001 at 01:33 PM Fate of the Dragon review Game Over Online - http://www.game-over.com From the 1st to 2nd centuries AD, the reigning Han dynasty in China furnished its goods all the way to the Roman Empire. In all realms, from military to philosophy, the Chinese made incredible strides. However, like the Roman Empire, triumph is usually succeeded with stasis and then finally, decline. So, this universal motif is what happened to the Han dynasty in Fate of the Dragon's (FOD) recount of the period and novel known as Romance of the Three Kingdoms. FOD is set between 184 AD and 220 AD in a particularly tumultuous time of the Han dynasty when rebellions and intrigue effectively reduce the central government to nothing but puppets and loyal generals who begin carving out their own fiefdoms out of the ashes. Among this struggle, three characters eventually emerge: Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei. This novel's recount has such a profound effect on the psyche of Chinese culture that the name Cao Cao actually figures into expressions that still carry on till today. The epic exploits of Liu Bei and his supporters, Guan Yu (who is later worshipped as a god), Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang are still alive in Chinese culture. Thus, it is no surprise that FOD follows a long tradition, most famously Koei, who developed a long series of turn-based strategy based on rich backdrop of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Overmax Studios, a company set in China, aims to bring this theme up to date in an RTS setting.
