They're bound to carry over the weird fantasy "I fight 100 men!" mechanics of Total Warhammer heroes. And that's pretty shite for a Total War game set in real-world history. The focus will be on hero-characters and super-moves, not interesting battles.
If a person who has dedicated his entire life to master the arts of combat, clad in heavy armor and equipped with a finely crafted weapon, were to go up against 100 unarmored peasants, then yes I do believe he'd be able to take them out. There is nothing "weird" or "fantasy" about it at all. Chinese martial arts are far more advanced and sophisticated in comparison to its barbaric and primitive european counterpart. To get an appreciation of just how great chinese martial arts are I'd recommend you educate yourself by watching
"Shaolin monk vs" videos on youtube or any movie made by Yimou Zhang.
Heskey the world around us is changing and so is Total War, it's not the same monolith of a franchise it once was and you will have to accept this. I mean instead of being stuck in the past how about you think of all the positive changes that can be made by radically changing the game. We already know there is a first person mode in previous titles which limits you to controlling artillery, but imagine if you'd be able to play as your favorite three kingdoms hero in third person cutting down hordes of enemies by twirling and spinning around just like in the Dynsasty Warriors games (a series superior to Total War btw), wouldn't that be great?
Heck if CA were to just announce they are release Dynasty Warriors 10 then we should embrace it with open arms and minds.
Three kingdoms, what a crock of shit, I bet it's going to be a fantasy game based on the romanticized version of Chinese history. No cultural variation and the only way the units cant be copy and paste reskins like Shogun
Yes so copy-pasted compared to a masterful game like Medieval 2 where every european faction has the same roster of peasants and knights with minor differences, like the game can be summed up as "knights in different colors".
Empire total war is no different in how everything is the fuckig same.
"but dude Austria has more faceless men in their line infantry regiments which totally differentiates them from everyones else, so brilliant, and look Sweden has more men in their light dragoon unit this is so unique and well thought out!"How about Atilla Total War where not only does every faction have the same roster but they are ALL GERMANIC FACTIONS. Speaking of romanticzising total war, do you consider this to be historically accurate and not just bullshit fiction in order to appeal to viking fanboys?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRqWw6_gKagbut the reason why many of the games have Europe as a main point is because we are THE SHIT, deal with it. Chinese still boiling dogs alive, stuck in the Three Kingdoms era.
Half this forum is filled with closet racist and 90% of the posters here are eurocentrist so it does not come as a surpise that you want to play a game set in a time period where Europeans genocided and enslaved people of colour all over the world. By making the setting three kingdoms they are clearly making a stance in the fight to decolonize video gaming and for that I applaud them.
Bravo CA, bravo!
If I had the choice between eating boiled dog (which is delicious btw) or the
shit you disgusting barbarians eat in the UK then yes, bring out the chopsticks Chang, meats back on the menu!
