Total War: Three Kingdoms Creative Assembly's next epic addition to the Total War franchise is set in ancient China in the Three Kingdoms period starting at 190 AD. Reviews so far have been intriguing with PCGamer describing it as 'ambitious, beautiful and confusing'. Total War: Three Kingdoms will introduce two different modes of campaign play, a 'Classic' version based on the Records of the Three Kingdoms which aims for greater historical accuracy, and a new 'Romance Mode' based on the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms which portrays generals and faction leaders as powerful heroes with special powers. Generals and leaders seem set to be more important than in older titles, and the game will include the ability for the traits and abilities of up to three generals to be used in one army. Diplomacy has been re-worked and is intended to be a more important part of the game introducing concepts such as 'obligations, reciprocity, and trust'. Total War: Three Kingdoms is already available for pre-order. The game is due out for Microsoft Windows on March 7, 2019, Feral Interactive has announced that the game will be released for macOS and Linux shortly afterward. Members of the Total War Center have been gearing up for the release with a badge competition to bring a Three Kingdoms theme to the forums. The Total War: Three Kingdoms discussion area includes a remarkably informative historical information thread, and a debate about whether to pre-order or not that has been going since February 2018!

Post of the Fortnight The Post of the Fortnight Competition is a new feature on TWC, it is the place to see how the best debaters post and present their ideas and positions. The Competition aims to recognize the best posts and reward the authors with well-earned medals. The first ever winner was Dick Cheney with Significance of Teutoburg Forest, he starts: I’m just going to come out and say it, but Teutoburg Forest has got to be one of the most overemphasized battles in human history (right up there with Thermopylae). The popular myth of course, is that Germanic Tribes (led by Arminius) banded together and soundly defeated three Roman Legions (led by Quinctilius Varus) at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest -during the height of Roman power no less-, thus permanently ending Roman plans for the colonization of greater Germania. Read more here Another winner with a military theme was Cyclops with Why was flanking so effective?, here's a taster: Getting men onto a field to kill one another is no mean feat. You do it by bonding them socially, emotionally and militarily. Less centralized ("civilised") societies bring warriors to the field when each individual decides to come. Complex societies have conscription and other forms of coercion, material rewards, intangible rewards , religion and so on that allows masses to be mobilised and moved. Part of these systems is practicing in formation, and the line of battle is a very old and successful institution. Read more here
