三国题材

Best total war game I've played. Has the most strategic depth of any of them, and I've played Rome total war (i and ii), shogun, medieval, warhammer, napolean. Diplomacy actually matters, and it works. Maintain good relations and they will actually respect that and not declare war. Spies actually do something useful. Managing the imperial court and the imperial family is extra on top. Played as Cao Cao, and was sandwiched between north and south. Relied heavily on diplomacy to keep the big southern empire happy. Sun Ce faction scary as hell as they expanded at lightning speed and united the whole south. Had to use every trick up my sleeve to keep them happy (pay them off, marriage, schemes, credibility). Trade was extremely important for economy, especially securing access to trade resources. Finally united the north through treacherous diplomacy (annexing my vassals after promising not to) and now ready to rival the south. Declared war. Realized my economy was totally dependent on the southern trade goods. Went into negative income. Had to scramble to disentangle my economy from the southern trade goods. Got screwed over multiple times by spies flipping my armies, and screwed them back in turn with my own spies. In the end, Cao Cao lived to see all of China united under his rule at ripe old age of 78. Awesome game. Well worth the $10 price tag I paid (this game frequently goes on steep discount).

A good game for seasoned game strategists. I played the heck out of Rome and Rome 2 and tried a few other total war games since that weren't as appealing. There's a lot more mechanics at play in Three Kingdoms to help build your empire, generals, court, armies, cities, etc. It feels like a well rounded game overall. A few things I didn't like were the less than stellar tutorials. In earlier total war games the tutorials were excellent and really helped me learn the game. The tutorial on building your towns and cities is especially bad with little direction and help to know what to focus on. The advisor does a good job on letting the player know what empire options are now available so nothing is neglected and forgotten however (such as a general that leveled up or a town where new construction is available). When I started the game I selected the option that I was new to Total War so I would get all tutorials and tips. Even the battle tutorial was barebones compared to Rome and Rome 2 for example. I was honestly shocked at the lack of effort put into the game tutorials. The AI isn't very aggressive compared to earlier Total War games. I kept thinking that my enemies were going to sack my undefended towns and settlements which almost never happened. It's impossible to have armies in all of your settlements, towns, and cities so this mechanic (the AI's lack of aggression) was a bit of a disappointment. I didn't care for the settlement/town/city building game mechanic. It felt extremely limited where you can only focus on a few building types instead of a more robust approach like I have with the Civilization games. I didn't care for the game mechanic of your own leaders (generals, politicians, etc.) disliking each other so you had to separate them in order to keep them satisfied. It was just a bit annoying for me and I wish there were options to disable this game mechanic and a few others like satisfaction. There is an option to disable people dying of age which is welcomed. I just wish there were more gameplay options to tweak my game experience. The modding scene for this game is unfortunately sparse with many of the mods being written in 2019 and outdated. It's also difficult to find mods with English descriptions as most are done in Korean or Mandarin. Overall, a good entry into the Total War franchise which I recommend. Just be prepared to watch tutorials on YouTube or other platforms to really learn some of the game mechanics (which the tutorial system fails on).
