Conquer China on your own terms with Total War: Three Kingdoms store.steampowered.com/app/77...
By the end of the 2nd century the Han dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Ambitious warlords from across the lands would now seize their chance to shape their own destinies and the future of the empire. Among the first to leave their mark would be Dong Zhuo, warlord of northwest China. His actions would set in motion the events of the Three Kingdoms period.

I love the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! I read it in college for a paper, and having played a few Dynasty Warrior games made it SO much easier to keep track of who was who. I have a printed picture of every single character from Games 4-5 in my room, organized by faction and characters placed by rank and close to family members etc or those they had much interaction with etc. Great video!

@ilikedota5 5 лет назад

Be careful though, alot of it of the games, based on the novel, are inaccurate. For example, the peach garden oath never happened, in fact, they were just drinking buddies iirc. Liu Bei backstabbed literally everyone. Cao Cao gets unfairly demonized, although he was a bit Machiavellian, there are alot of mere rumors against him

Many things in three kingdoms period you can relate to GoT. Like how a coalition rose up against Dong Zhuo, how Dong Zhuo ruled with terror, How the warlords started to think of abandoning the Han empire, some want to become the emperor themselves, some only want independence, how Dong Zhuo met his end at the hand of his most trusted general, Lu Bu. And of course, the scheming, many schemes that eventually led to the creation of the three kingdoms of Wei, Wu, and Shu.

@ericconnor8251 5 лет назад

Not bad. In fact, it was very well researched. I'm not a huge fan of the narrator, but he did okay. I appreciate the fact that you actually got the maps right, showing the Eastern Han dynasty's control of northern Vietnam and northern Korea. For some dumb reason most RU-vid documentaries fail to show things correctly when it comes to the borders of the empire. It would have been nice, though, if you actually used authentic Eastern Han dynasty artworks.
