Now THIS is a Total War premise I'm interested in.
fuuuuck this looks so good
Always looking forward to a Total War game but this just got my hyped, I hope there's gameplay soon.
between this and britannia I'm PSYCHED for total war
Is this supposed to look like a dynasty warriors game? It doesn’t have the feel of a total war game, I dunno

Lol no.
It's going to be standard total war. The trailer might've given that impression, but it's only the same setting. Or I dunno.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms/the history of the Three Kingdoms in general always had a sort of fantastical and romanticized view and portrayal, even with the most historically accurate set of works due to the nature of how it was recorded and accounted for in history. Plus historically it really is very dramatic and Dong Zhuo himself really was a sort of supervillain tyrant even in reality, and how people united was very reminiscent of a fictional epic. Can't blame them for taking into account the more famous appearance and tone it had from the novel and the likes of DW.
I really hope it doesn't suck. IIRC, the last few Total War games have been massive letdowns for a lot of people.
Aww man, not Victorian.
I almost expected a total war game where it would be a For Honor premise.
I’m not sure how interesting this will be gameplay wise, but I guess we will see.
Look at these fools. Don't you know the first rule is to not persue Lu Bu?

Maybe they'll make that their next fantasy setting after they finish Warhammer.
I've been expecting this settting for quite some time
Oh boy I cant wait.

That's basically what Total War: Arena is going to be though.

Ok good. China is so underutilized.
Crossbows? Check.
Halberds? Check.
Swords? Check.
Spears? Check.
Chariots? Check.
Automatic Crossbows? Check.
Sword-Spears? Check.
Rockets? Check.
[sp]Assholes on horses with bows? Checkarooni. [/sp]
Chinese warfare was also fairly different as the terrain and sheer number of men varied wildly. I’ve been asking for China for a while and I think it’s about time we got them. It has all the facets of previous pre-gunpowder games and then some. Shits cash
How many factions could there be? I don't know much about the period aside from Lu Bu wankery and as far as I know there is only 3 factions.

The short-lived countdown had an animation of a camera panning between what looked to be Persia and India so it's possible they might be included

Oh fuck oh fuck please be on a new engine that doesn't suck
Time to watch Red Cliff and get pumped.
I just nutted
Hundreds of hours spent playing Dynasty Warriors is about to pay off as I use my experience to become the best Total War Three Kingdoms Esports champion
With how prominent legendary characters seem to be in the trailer I got to wonder if they are going to take some of the Legendary Lord/ Hero systems from the recent warhammer titles into this game.
I suppose it would fit the setting with all those legendary figures, but I hope its more akin to Shogun in gameplay since in the warhammer games late-game lords can solo armies.
I'll suck the dick of the first person that makes a mod that replaces all dialogue in the game with Dynasty Warriors 5 speech.

I'm not too sure how generals work in the Warhammer games, but I kind of hope that the trailer is showing officers (not the kind that stands next to the standard bearer I.E Rome 2) that kind of work like mini-generals.
I'm also hoping that it isn't [I]just[/I] China, and that it would have some Indian/Tibetan/northern hordes/and the Korean peninsula. I always hated uniting Japan in Shogun 2 since I avoid total map conquest.

In the TW: Warhammer games, lords (generals) are a single model, very powerful unit, who can be equipped with gear that makes them even more deadly, as well as level up, thus earning skills that can either benefit the entire army or just the lord.
I hope that they will both allow for a bit of effectual mysticism and not lock out every faction but the main 3 (but damn it, we know they will have Lu Bu as a DLC) so my enemies can [I]Fell The Power of My Mageeeeeeeeek.[/I]
can we throw babies just like liu bei:
