In Total War: Three Kingdoms, players will be able to unite China and build their empire by taking on the role of one of the twelve legendary warlords, characters from Luo Guanzhong's Chinese semi-mythical novel, The Three Kingdoms. China in 190, after the fall of the Han Empire, was disunited and fragmented - the country needed a new dynasty with new ideals.
Twelve visionary commanders are ready to take advantage of this opportunity, so it all depends on the player - who will he want to lead to victory? Unsurpassed commanders, mighty warriors, wise politicians - all these heroes have their own goals and style of play. Many minor characters are ready to submit, lead armies, provinces and strengthen the growing empire.
To help players make their initial choice of one of the 12 heroes, Creative Assembly has released a new video highlighting each of them. Shall we lead the country to healing together with the benevolent Liu Bei? Or burn everything in your path as Zheng Jiang, queen of robbers? Or maybe support the great strategist Cao Cao, who is able to direct even brothers against each other? Each commander has his own vision of the art of war:
- Sun Jiang - Tiger of Jiangdong;
- Cao Cao - Puppeteer;
- Liu Bei - Defender of the People;
- Zheng Jiang - Queen of Thieves;
- Dong Zhuo - Tyrant;
- Gongsun Zang - Companion;
- Yuan Shu - Challenger;
- Kun Rong - Great Scientist;
- Liu Biao - Aristocrat;
- Zhang Yan - Soldier of Fortune;
- Ma Teng - Supporter;
- Yuan Shao - Leader of the union.

To win, you will have to think through your tactics more carefully, and any mistake can turn followers away from the player. Battles last about 30% longer, are less dynamic and colorful. Units tire faster and become less effective in combat. As a result, each tactical decision receives additional weight.
