<h3><span class="portallink"> Total War: Three Kingdoms</span> </h3>
 
[[Image:Total War Three Kingdoms cover art.png|Three Kingdoms Cover Art|right]]
 
'''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 [http://www.pcgamer.com/uk/total-war-three-kingdoms-is-ambitious-beautiful-and-confusing/ 'ambitious, beautiful and confusing']. 
 
  
'''Total War: Three Kingdoms''' will introduce two different modes of campaign play, a 'Classic' version based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Records_of_the_Three_Kingdoms Records of the Three Kingdoms] which aims for greater historical accuracy, and a new 'Romance Mode' based on the novel [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_of_the_Three_Kingdoms Romance of the Three Kingdoms] which portrays generals and faction leaders as powerful heroes with special powers.

<div class="TWCRcol span_1_of_2">
  
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'.

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.''

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.''
