Imperial Ambitions 3K

【Imperial Ambitions 3K】is a Three-Kingdoms-themed, turn-based strategy game written in Python. The current version features 8 playable factions, 24 unit types, 60+ recruitable generals with 90+ special attacks/skills, and a full campaign with diplomacy options, tech trees, and more!

Alpha 1.2 contains a major update to the AI on the campaign map. I spent several hours testing, including running through a whole campaign, but at the end of the day, I am only one person. If you discover any bugs while playing, please help me out by reporting the bug either via commenting, discord channel, or emailing lonelyscrub8@gmail.com! Thanks in advance!
