'''The Liu Clan of Zhou''' is one of the playable factions in [[Total War: Three Kingdoms]]. It is one of the 11 immediately playable in the base game, with no achievement or DLC requirements.

==Historical Background==

==Start Position==

The Liu Clan starts as a horde in [[Dong Commandery]]. It's starting leader is [[Liu Bei]]. [[Guan Yu]], [[Zhang Fei]], and [[Jian Yong]] also start as part of it. They can only field one army at the beginning of the game

==Unique Mechanic==
Unity - A resource the Liu Clan gets from having satisfied characters. High unity increases prestige gain. Unity can also be spent to annex Han Empire territory without a fight.

==Unique Units==

* Yi Archers
* Yi Marksmen

==Initial Dilemma==
The Liu Clan's early dilemma is about helping [[Tao Qian]] against [[Cao Cao]]. Tao Qian had allegedly killed Cao Cao’s father Cao Song, but Tao Qian of course denies this. In any case, it triggers conflict between Cao Cao and Tao Qian, where the latter seeks help from Liu Bei.

# Do you join the conflict and rally to Tao Qian's side?
# Or do you ignore the request and avoid a potentially messy war with Cao Cao?
