Played as the Qin state and won before 221 BC. In history, the Qin states' advantages lay on it geographical location and military prowess. As such, one ideal play style is be aggressive from the start.
I started by seizing fertile areas closest to enemy capitals, quickly ending Wei and Han, before progressing on the remaining states. Since game rules state that losing the capitals marks the end of a dynasty, occasionally this along brings some luck in AI mechanics, with enemy states focusing on the newly-neutral ground instead of your state.
Only downside, yet an understandable one is the lack of diplomacy, since bribes or negotiations during the warring states period were often used to maintain temporary truces.

today I figured out spies in enemy territory will actually start rebellions, and can be effectively used as a long range attack over the course of several turns. Even a powerful enemy has no way to deal with you starting rebellion in their highest income places, or in wherever they want to use to launch attacks. This strategy seems very important, and is one of the reasons a skilled player should never lose even on hard mode. However, I cant find anywhere it actually states it works like this in game, which is sort of weird.

One of the best online strategy games I've ever played! A very challenging one at that, will be very nice to have multiplayer version, that's the only thing that I find this one lacking

this game is so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool and can you make a world war 1 game just like this

it would be nice if it told you how much everyone earned each turn from their provinces so you can see who the biggest threat is without having to click on each province and add them up

*Conquers half of China with all of the soldiers in my faction* Ayyy! I think I am about to win! *Barbarians pillage the lands* Well, it can't be that bad! *Sees that NONE of my provinces are providing money* FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

The game is good, but kinda unbalanced and would like to have a more friendly game interface, but its so cool taking over small peices of china; also another good game like this is war of the prefectures, it's a Japanese version of this one.

@below I conquered China with Han.I suggest playing with this order
1.Chu
2.Wu
3.Zhao
4.Qin(charge for Chu but keep some defences in Yong)
5.Qi
6.Yan(focus on defence)
7.Wei
8.Han

Man... playing as Han is brutal ,surrounded by 4 enemy nations in the center of the map. Plus your territory is rich making them want to attack you more. Even Yan being the weakest faction in the game doesn't have it that bad. Plus you only have 3 providences while Wei has 4.

I had the weirdest glitch. I was playing as Yuexi, in China, when I was suddenly teleported to the previous game, to Japan, and it had me play as Wachisuka. Aside from that, this game is awesome, original, and replayable. Would love to see another sequel! Or perhaps turn it into a boardgame? 5/5

I don't know if this is a bug or something, but I think it's weird that when I see that another clan is attacking a territory from a territory, so then I attack another territory so that I know for sure that their general and all his troops won't be there, they are.... :l

I think it is very annoying and unrealistic that you can move your army to provinces that are in no way connected the your other provinces

So, the enemy had like, 10 men and I had 3 on my province. I had, however, over 21 on the territory just to the side, but instead of my attack meeting them, they attacked first and I just instantly lost the game. The whole "protect province or die" thing makes the game lame.

awesome game but id like to make alliances so I don't always have to look behind my back to check that another nation isn't attacking

Very great game! I loved it. 5/5 Perhaps in future Two Powers games you could put in other southeastern asian countries. For example ancient tribes of Taiwan vs Japanese colonists or maybe Vietnamese fuedal lords? :)

This series is one of the best strategy ones on Kongregate. I really have to congratulate you on making both this and the prequel; they've both been great. A European version like many are asking for would be great, and maybe you could do something with Rome? Aside from the annoying little fact that you can't mute the sound completely, I've loved the new version from what I've seen. Great job, and a richly deserved 5/5.

love the game, but it freezes randomly i was about to win with
Qin and it froze sadly i was enjoying the game and forgot to save hope you can fix this

Also the localisation for the spies are incorrect, when you use them to search out a province it says send your ninja.
It's fixed now too. It was a remnant from the prequel where you conquer Japan.
Are you Chinese, from the Yan state area? You seem to be playing for Yan only, it's the weakest faction in the game :)

Using Chrome - whenever I am defeated by Wei playing Yan - army lost - my game crashes. The fight screen does not end and the winning side continues to march across. When I refresh the game and attempt to reload the game - I suddenly gain control of a different faction, such as Sun, even though Yan is still alive.
Thank you for telling me. There is no logic reason why the program should behave so, so I added a new small button for the case the 'OK' button doesn't appear. Is it OK now?
