#TOTAL WAR THREE KINGDOMS SUN REN SERIES#

The night time battle Ambush of Sun Ren provided a lovely visual spectacle as fire arrows fly and now set fire to the treeline, and iconic floating lanterns hover in the sky.ДЄ new option now presents itself in these situations, of trying to reach an exit point instead of trying to survive the waves of enemies trying to ensnare you. Some infantry can be hybrid melee and ranged, spear men can set up with a layered formation or squares that can repel flanking cavalry.ДЄs always, using the terrain to your advantage is key, from fighting on high ground to hiding units in the tree line. ItвЂ™s something that adds new layers to the combat for you to micromanage and consider, but even if you play in Classic mode, thereвЂ™s more of the in depth control for each unit that recent games havenвЂ™t featured as heavily.

ItвЂ™s best to challenge when youвЂ™ve already weakened the enemy general, and you can micromanage with some of character abilities as well, with coming out on top or forcing them to back down diminishing enemy morale. Zoom in and you can see the fight ebb and flow, stringing together choreographed moves to depict the damage being inflicted. If itвЂ™s right in the middle of your clashing army lines, the throngs of soldiers peel apart to form a circle around the duel. TheyвЂ™ll first charge at each other on horseback to try and get the initial advantage before engaging on foot once one has been knocked off. You can also challenge enemy heroes to duel on the battlefield and thereвЂ™s more than a hint of Wushu and cinema to these fights. Thus Three Kingdoms features both a Classic mode that will be familiar to any Total War players, and a Romance mode that turns your generals and heroes into formidable characters on the battlefield, much like how heroes in Total War: Warhammer could battle entire regiments on their own. This largely factual account of history amplifies the heroism and deeds of the various warlords and factions at play throughout the civil war. While itвЂ™s based on history, Three Kingdoms is also heavily inspired by, and derives its name in part from the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Total War: Three Kingdoms is finely poised to answer that call.

#TOTAL WAR THREE KINGDOMS SUN REN SERIES#

There was the Attila standalone spin-off, the two fantasy Total War: Warhammer games and the smaller scale Thrones of Britannia earlier this year, but for fans of the series a major new historical game has been a long time coming. The last few years have been jam packed with Total War games, and yet 2013 was the last time we saw a mainline historical entry in the series with Total War: Rome II.
