I have Romance of the Three Kingdoms (PS2) - but I'm having a hard time with the learning curb!
This is a very late reply, but in rereading this thread I forgot to mention a trick I learned in the original RotTK that made combat pretty simple...
The strength of your enemies is almost pointless when you use fire attacks. In the original game you had an option on your turn to attack a hexagon by setting it on fire. Any unit in that hex was forced to move to an adjacent non-burning hex, or, if none was available, they were forced to flee.
The practical upside of that is you can overwhelm any enemy in a few turns are force them from the battlefield just by surrounding them with fire and enemy forces and setting their occupied hex on fire.
Moreover, if a fleeing enemy has no friendly province to flee to, they become your captive after the battle.
I used to harvest huge armies and take provinces quickly by running from combat to combat capturing all of the enemy's best generals through liberal use of conflagration.
