The idea is to make sure that you can flatter the emperor as best as possible and set Han’s armies against enemies.
Total war three kingdoms fates divided review update#
This is the only feature of the title that also comes with a free update for all players.
That said, let’s go to the novelty: an unprecedented mechanic called Intriga Imperial. So, take it easy and allow time so that everything can be read with patience and understood, because there is a lot to learn here. It is necessary to choose chiefs of villages that you have already taken, choose where to put your investments (in advance of the army, research, food …) and define the hierarchy of those closest to you. Is quite a thing to be solved by the map of Total War: Three Kingdoms (Photo: Wagner Wakka / FreeGameGuide)Īs for management, the range of possibilities is much greater. On the army side, the move may include attacking an enemy (and resolving the issue in one round), surrounding a village and leaving the population hungry (which involves more rounds), or simply putting your troops to rest (staying that way), vulnerable). As we are facing a game with many, many mechanics, these movements can include very varied actions. In Total War: Three Kingdoms you have a round to make a move with your troops, in addition to modifying some structure of your government and society. MechanicalĪs a package of new content, there is also a new mechanic for the game. Falling unaware in this gameplay will create a sensation that should be close to starting reading Game of Thrones by the fifth book. So, again: it is possible to enter the game and fall straight into this DLC, but, like most of the extra content, it is not made for beginners. The game still provides the possibility to start the DLC with two other characters with simpler management, but then the interesting plot between the two rivals is lost. In addition, the player also falls into an already advanced plot, with the map quite complex and enough elements to manage. The first is that the player can choose to start the DLC with Cao Cao or Yuan Shao and decide the future of China in this regard.Ĭao Cao and Yuan Shao are the names of DLC (Photo: Wagner Wakka / FreeGameGuide) This background defines two important things that impact the gameplay of Total War: Three Kingdoms. The point is that, now, one of the two needs to be the only dominant one in the region. We are in the year 200 of the Common Era – as the Chinese call the time after Christ – when two of the great leaders basically held control over the whole of China.Ĭao Cao and Yuan Shao joined forces in order to defeat the enemies and survive in front of the main enemies. So, having this base is almost crucial to better enjoy Total War.įates Divaded, as the fifth DLC of the title, already puts the plot there in front of the dispute. The game is pretty bad at introducing all the great leaders, what they do and it brings names after names, with dynasties after dynasties.

In this case, a good read on the Wikipedia page about the Three Kingdoms period already helps to get to know the characters we are talking about well. Here, again, it is worth an invitation to know at least the basics of the story to fall into the game. In the case of Three Kingdoms, the plot of the campaign runs from the period of China known as the Three Kingdoms, in which six dynasties vied for control of the region. The franchise is known exactly for bringing to the gaming universe part of the well-known history of great nations of the world. With this baggage in hand, let’s get to what the Total War: Three Kingdoms DLC is all about. Therefore, I plunged into some pages of Reddit in order to understand, at least, the basics of the game to delve into the mechanics of the DLC Fates Divided, which is the center of this review. This game is one that requires some preparation. Both mechanically and for the history of the game.
When I head into Total War: Three Kingdoms for this review, I fell unpretentious, not knowing exactly what it was about. An example of this is exactly this journalist who is writing to you now, so allow me a personal account. Sure, it has some mechanics that can take the hand of newbies, but it still demands a lot from those who start now.
