- Destiny of an Emperor II
Destiny of an Emperor-II (DoaE-II) is the English name given to "Tenchi wo Kurai-II: the Story of Kong Ming". The game plot follows the life of
Zhuge Liang , the great military tactician of China's lateHan Dynasty . Its commercial release was a Japanese-only Famicom sequel to the firstDestiny of an Emperor .Capcom of America ported the original game to theNintendo Entertainment System (NES), in English, but did not translate two later games in the series for either the NES or theGame Boy .This inspired several amateur translation groups to attempt an English patch, but complex recoding challenges, such as
substring compression, and DoaE-II's lengthy dialogue dumps in Chinese,kanji ,hiragana , andkatakana , delayed the project for several years until a group calledMagic-Destiny assembled the necessary talent from around the world. Once Magic-Destiny obtained a comprehensive DoaE-II strategy guide from Japan, thefurigana employed therein aided translation of the archaic kanji usages in the script, but unfortunately uncovered a number of historical inaccuracies and outright fabrications in the storyline.External links
