I really think 11 is only challenging if you play a super weak force. 9 is very basic but heaps of fun, and, outside of diplomacy, I think its the most balanced and offers the best AI challenge. Between 9 and 11, I think 11 is more polished and more complex. 10 is more of a role playing game rather than a strategy game, but with fun battles. 10 should be your go to if you want the option to play as an officer and not necessarily a ruler (but it does give you the option to play as a ruler still). Verdict: I think you should try any of 9-10-11. XIV - I have yet to try it but the map looks nice aesthetically. Become the ruler of a kingdom, aim to unify the land with your doctrine and officers policies, to formulate strategies to handle the ever-changing battle. I'll admit I'm having a blast in the battles though. Some perks are stupidly strong, ruler AI is extremely bad, game favors number of units to troop count (4 units of 3000 each can destroy a single 20k unit) and the world map is too linear. I think the game in general is extremely unbalanced. XIII - I got this the other day! Someone convinced me to try it and XIV. I think I must've played for 30 minutes before tossing it to the side. Some people prefer the duel/debate system in this game but I like 10's more. You can stop 90% of the units in the game sending Cao Cao, Xun You and 1 archer. It also offers the best strategic thinking venue rather than abusing specific game mechanics but I do think some perk combinations are comically overpowered. XI - A lot of people like this one because it gives you the most control and there isn't an aspect about the game that's insanely bad. City development was good and more complex than the older games in the series, however, the game in general was just really easy. Siege weapons were too strong here but you can only abuse that in limited cities. Diplomacy in the game was the only weak point (easy to abuse AI) but everything else was extremely fun, although I confess nostalgia might be a big reason behind my opinion here. Honestly, the battle system was very fun but that's about it. VII - Very basic city development system.
