New Features

Dynasty Warriors 4: Empires is a totally different game than any previously seen in this series of games. This game is not 100% hack and slash, there's more to winning a battle than that in this game. Every general is playable in this game, but only the previously playable ones in Dynasty Warriors 4 will have unique attacks, everyone else will have a generic attack based on the weapon they're holding. Likely you'll have seen the attacks from the NPCs in the previous game.

You can choose which general in your group you want to play as for a particular map
Each officer has its own Skill it can use in battle
You can hire officers from the force that you just defeated, but doing so will cost money
Controlling the gates is important because it will stop frequent enemy attacks
Create-A-Warrior Mode has been dramatically upgraded
