This game when it first came out was honestly somewhat of a disappointment. It had some great ideas but it just wasn’t quite there. However in 2026 it has truly become my favorite total war game. If you love the three kingdoms period this is an incredible game! I highly suggest people if you do get it play it with mods (check out the new general collection). While a lot don’t have English support honestly the sheer level of quality and enthusiasm the modders have is incredible they have completely changed the game!

Just an example with the new general collection it adds tons of new characters/events/skills/models/units/difficulty it’s incredible. It reminds me a lot of the DEI mod for Rome 2 with its scale. I just started a new Lu Bu campaign and it’s become my favorite campaign so far. I’m constantly desperately fighting to survive, having to make real strategic decisions every turn and trying to use Lu Bu and his retinue under constant pressure to desperately hold on. It has been so much fun actually having the ai gang up on me and make smarter choices both on the campaign and in battles rather than just steam rolling the ai every campaign. Incredible game and incredible mod it’s awesome I highly recommend it! While the mods in the playlist do not have English support it really is fine 70% of the game is still English and most of the Chinese is recognizable sentences after a few turns. For the rest just use a translator (I use the one on my phone) for the events and such. Can’t recommend the game and the mod playlist enough. If you love the three kingdoms period, or want really fun unique characters that actually form relationships with the rest of the characters based off of how you play, or just want a great rts/strategy game this is the game for you!

I love the game, Its fun
