This guide will help you find data sets that you can use for any project that requires data to manipulate.

Unlike mainline RTK titles where you play as a ruler, RTK8 focuses on officer play. You control a single character—from lowly vagrant to legendary general like Lu Bu or Zhuge Liang. You can marry, befriend rivals, betray lords, and rise through the ranks.

The Remake adds:

Playing RTK8 is overwhelming. Here are three quick tips to dominate the Three Kingdoms:


"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8" is a turn-based strategy game developed by Koei, released originally in 1997. It is the eighth main installment in the series, which is loosely based on the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong. The game allows players to control one of the many factions from the Three Kingdoms period, each with its own unique characters, strengths, and weaknesses.

Each update is available via eShop or as separate NSP update files for offline installation. Always match the update with the correct base game region (US updates will not install on JP base NSP).

Unlike mainline entries such as RTK13 or RTK14, which focus on clan-based strategy, RTK8 is an officer play title. You do not play as a kingdom; you play as a single officer—be it the cunning Zhuge Liang, the righteous Guan Yu, or a completely created character.
