| |
| − | '''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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 has been available for [http://store.steampowered.com/app/779340/Total_War_THREE_KINGDOMS/ pre-order] for some time. '''However the game launch has been postponed from March 7 to 23 May, 2019.''' See [http://www.totalwar.com/blog/total-war-three-kingdoms-development-update here] for CA's explanation.

| |
| − | :''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.''
