Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires

Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires (真･三國無双4 Empires, Shin Sangoku Musou 4 Empires) is the second expansion for Dynasty Warriors 5. Like the previous Empires expansion, the game focuses on the player's ability to simulate a leader taking and controlling territory, eventually becoming a powerful leader controlling China.

Gameplay
The entire cast from Dynasty Warriors 5 returns along with the ability to create an edit character. This expansion uses an updated version of the Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires system; policies are offered by officers and can be accepted or declined. These decisions can affect the battle (by offering various advantages) or the campaign as a whole (by altering popularity or expending funds). Players may choose whether to conquer the land in a historical scenario or in a fictional setting where the roles of each officer vary completely.
