Power Up kit?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms_XI

The power-up kit (which is an expansion for the PC version) adds the following features:

Similar neighbouring facilities can be combined.
10 new city facilities.
General can research new abilities. Over 50 abilities are available based on attack, defence, administration, and strategy.
A new battle game mode, which allows playing preset battle scenarios.
6 new campaign scenarios, and 30 new events.
Editor can alter generals, cities, kingdoms, equipment.
New voices for the Japanese game. Player can choose between Chinese or Japanese voices.
A new 'Super' (超級) game difficulty setting.
A friendlier command dialogue during research and waging wars. For example, when assigning generals to perform a task, a dialogue box will show items and time needed to perform the task.
A new national research subject named 'Internal administration' (内政).
New military features including:
Can assign troops to transport supplies to specific camps.
Improved AI.
Seize items.
Enhanced facilities and strategy including:
Increased effects for fortresses, and heightened status recovery rate.
Increased range for drum tower, increasing the chance for successfully entering a duel.
When using spearman strategies to destroy troops, the chances for capturing enemy generals increase.
When using cavalry strategies to trap troops, the trap effect increases.


+ some more features what is not listed in the wiki. [This PUK is for the chinese/japanese version] It looks like they wont implent this to the English version, but hopefully we can download it later on.

See you in about seventy years, if I'm lucky.  ;D

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

Interface improvements are not expansion pack material, they're free update material.  Same with increased effects for abilities.  That should be only to balance the game, not to increase a player's power in a strategy game, but the gaming world is taking a disturbing trend lately.

Well either way, the core game will be only 20$ AFAIK. Now when RotK 11. was released in chinese/japanese version its price was like 70$. So I guess if they will release the english version of the PUK, it wont cost too much.

Got my copy. Nice game, the AI kicked my ass ASAP in the third scenario.  ;D
Sadly no PUK included in this PC version, but lets hope that KOEI will release it soon enough.

I downloaded the demo, and I really liked it. However, I highly enjoyed the unintentionally humorous attempts by the designers at humor in the Tutorial Mode. It's so bad it's good.

The best part was:
