help me find an old game i use to player as a kid

It was a chinese city builder but it was more based around combat, it was simialt to Emperor rise of the three kingdoms and it had a similar name like "the three kingdoms"

You could hire "hero" units like generals and diplomats. Any soldiers you wanted to recruit you had to send a peasant to the barrack kind of like the stronghold games, you also had to make everything from scratch like weapons and armour i think.

It was essentially Stronghold 1/2 but in chinese three kingdoms form but i cant for the life of me find it
