What players say

its bad enough they cant be bothered to localised to english, worse still they region locked the complete edition so even if you can speak japanese/chinese you stil cant play it. Scummy move from a scummy company. After 30 years, i will finally quit supporting this clown company. Buyer beware, terrible support, total disregard to customer, especially not recommended if you are in regions other than china or japan.

Where is the Complete Edition? I own all DLC for this game. Why can't I get your latest updates? What is this racism?

Impossible to turn off unification of forces and execution of rulers. Unable to find out how to mod the game to stop them unifications even with the setting turned off.
