Warlords on a Roll
Read full descriptionHide full description
Start as a nameless volunteer in ancient China as the Han dynasty begins to collapse. Survive the Yellow Turban Rebellion, march against the tyrant Dong Zhuo, and rise from militia recruit to commander. Each turn, roll spirit stones and use their values to charge one of three pieces of gear. Hit an item’s charge limit exactly to trigger its special effect. Go over the limit, and the charge fails. Read enemy skills and turn order, then decide when to attack, defend, recover, or end your turn. Between battles, trade for stones, replace equipment, inspect supplies, and make deals that exchange health or money for an advantage. The second campaign introduces treasures that can reshape your build. FEATURES • Two campaigns inspired by the fall of the Han dynasty • Tactical battles against up to three enemies • Random stone values and exact-charge equipment effects • Events, trades, resource choices, and gear replacement • Codex collections and achievements • Single-player play, autosave, and Chinese/English support Some refresh and reward options use optional rewarded ads.

A game you can only play with a brush. You are the Grand Historian of a crumbling dynasty. Four brothers, one office, one brush. You cannot save anyone, kill anyone, or govern — you can only choose how each event is written into the official history. Every entry is read by the emperor, by the usurper, and by posterity. Honest words build your credibility and enrage the powerful; flattery pleases the throne and feeds its cruelty. Your life bar is your brothers. - 48 events, each modeled on real Chinese history (selling offices, calling a deer a horse, the literati purges...), with the actual historical source cited after every entry - Randomized event pools: every run is different - 3 dynasty outcomes x 4 historian verdicts decide how posterity judges you - Inspired by the Zuo Zhuan: three historians died, one after another, refusing to erase the word "regicide" No ads, no in-app purchases, fully offline, zero data collected. Chinese (Simplified/Traditional) only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Taishiling at none against Warlords on a Roll's 1. Taishiling also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
