Liberty or Death was kinda sub-par for KOEI. It was one of the games they did to try and grab more of the US market while still making the titles over in Japan. They used the same engine, but didn't try personalizing the game in any way for European history or flavor.
I think Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nobunaga's Ambition, Genghis Khan and Bandit Kings of Ancient China were far better. That's also true of Balor of the Evil Eye, their last US and PC-based title, which actually used an American development team working in tandem with the Japanese one, and was quickly killed without advertising when the administration decided to fold its tents.
