Through the enhanced "All Officers Play" feature, players will be able to take control of the powerful rulers and the officers who serve them or be a free officer and join a roving army. This allows players to explore the Three Kingdoms with a fresh and unique experience every time, thanks to the new features and the variety of associations formed both on and off the battlefield, highlighted by "Symbiotic" and "Antagonistic" relationships.

"Symbiotic" relationships are formed when the player interacts with other officers through situations such as commands or events, and a certain number of "sympathies" occur. When a player is in a "symbiotic" relationship with another officer, the officer will join and help the player in many situations, including domestic tasks, councils, and battles. On the other hand, if the relationship is "Antagonistic," the officer will not accept visits from the player and may even hunt them on the battlefield.

The variety of relationships built throughout Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 remake will now be dramatically on display. Players will be able to monitor the ever-changing dynamics of each relationship through the Relationship Chart, which not only displays relationships such as "Sworn Siblings" and "Spouses," but also special relationships such as "Destined Partners," "Rivals," and "Sworn Enemies," as well as the
