Hey CA if I dont tax my settlement then my people can still go to work at our farms and produce food for my empire while increasing economic growth k thx. Btw get rid of the thrones of Britannia loyalty system.
" ... I was of humble origin, and used to lead the life of a peasant in Nanyang. In those days, I only hoped to survive in such a chaotic era. I did not aspire to become famous among nobles and aristocrats. The Late Emperor did not look down on me because of my background. He lowered himself and visited me thrice in the thatched cottage, where he consulted me on the affairs of our time. I was so deeply touched that I promised to do my best for the Late Emperor. We encountered hard times and setbacks later. I was given heavy responsibilities when we were facing defeats. I received important duties in dangerous and difficult situations. It has been 21 years since then. ... I am going to leave Your Majesty soon. Now, as I read this memorial, I am unable to hold back my tears and I do not know what to say." - Zhuge Liang (Kong Ming) - 出师表 (Chu Shi Biao )

I heard anecdotally that Zhuge Liang's family was originally known as the Ge clan but after Cao Cao took their home city of Zhu and massacred the population, forcing the Ge clan to flee they swore retribution against him and in honor of their destroyed home added it to their family name. Hence why Zhuge Liang ended up serving Liu Bei and his older brother found himself in the service of the Sun family.
This is a (likely wrong) theory of the origin of the surname Zhuge, and it has nothing to do with Cao Cao unless he was born 3 dynasties earlier in the early years of chinese mythology.
not true, it is true that it was once "Ge" but a branch of that Ge family added a "Zhu" to their name (idk why" far before Zhuge Liang. he himself was born in Yangdu Country, Langya Commandery in what is now Shandong, but that would be a cool origin story

He sees the land divided into three, even before it happens, He lay out a strategy for the weakest warden, and helped him become a king. He lead and fought seven wars for restoring the Han dynasty, while kept the people in back lines fed and rich. He is called to be the "sleeping dragon", a true legend. In China, people still visit his temple.
@@arima272 Shu and Wu are both south kingdoms, there are tropical rainforests in the south of Shu where Meng Huo comes from with elephants. In the west of Wei, there are deserts. Does Japan have real deserts or rainforests?
@@arima272 only on the early stage of TK, the "main theater" is north China, later on, south China plays also an important role. Besides, even in north China, there are also differences(despite deserts and huge grasslands): in winter, there are very few rains/snows in north China but there are much more in Japan due to the sea. A geography course could help.
Hah actually Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang’s house for three times to ask his help, and Zhuge Liang finally moved by Liu Bei and became one of his most loyal counselor and friend.
I think CA got it right. As far as I remember Zhuge Liang wasn't at home during liu bei's first 2 visits. The first visit might have been before the beginning of the video, when he just got home. The second one was during the video when he traveled the land and the third visit was shown at the end.
I'm glad this mastermind got his own trailer. Would have liked to see one for all the faction leaders with their key members, but I get they had limited budget. Zhuge Liang was definitely at the top of my list though.
ayyy, i heard of him before. All of my Chinese teachers in Primary and Middle school talked about this guy a lot, I never paid much attention though. Kinda wish I did, he seems interesting
@@UltramanII ye, its his fan. *SPOILER ALERT * He leaves it there when he enters his home, after a long trip, visiting the countryside and cities, then Liu Bei returns it to him, so that Zhuge Liang can come with him to the long journey. Pure symbolism
I believe it's meant to be a gesture synonymous with "reaching out," ideally to illustrate the picture of a gentle ruler offering his hand, counter to a harsh ruler who would be aggressive or demanding. As someone else stated, it seems to be a much more Western idea than a Chinese one, though I suppose that's the intention with the audience they're marketing towards.
Unfortunately this is what Total War headed to, more cinematic instead of pure strategy. Still remember Rome Total War trailer back then ? Less cinematic but more massive battle. More trailer faction and features as well.
Game's probably full of bugs so they don't wanna be compromised. Just wait till release and fix it with some patches after they get their pay. Don't be naive.
Only when the tyrant being banished and order being restored does peace will prevail, none of them can be done without fighting Also, hello fellow Indonesian
Really excited for this game and the scenery looks gorgeous! Only thing that bugs me is Liu Bei holding out the fan with one hand instead of two, which is prideful and disrespectful in Chinese culture. The whole thing with Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang thrice was a great show of humility and respect.
I suspect there are some Characters that are more easily to recruit to your faction if you are a virtues ruler who holds his agreements, doesn´t plunder Citys make fair duels and the like, while others might be more inclinend to join if you do the opposite. Being Ruthless tyrannt who plunders and betrays could be a good Liege Lord for people who like to carry out such things. It feels a bit like the righteous and fearsome traits from medieval 2 is returning.
Zhuge Liang was a brilliant tactician skilled in ambush and open warfare on varied terrains. However, he was not proficient in leading troops in siege warfare. This explains why the kingdom of Shu made little territorial gains. They could defend, but they could not expand. He also launched several failed campaigns against Wei in Northern expeditions, partially due to supply issues with magistrates who plotted against him. Han Xin of the Chu-Han Contention was a better strategist. He turned the same area of Shu into a supply trove, then went on to conquer the restored lands of Zhao and Qi, which would have been the same lands as Wei.
Zhuge Liang was a better politic and inventor, he leaded with another area but was an strategist like Leonardo da Vinci. Li Yan was the military guy that time, it is said that Li Yan was charged with the Grand Commander jobs
I regret that I cannot play this game due to my PC being a potato. As a player of the Warriors games, and the ROTK games on the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, I will have to wait until I can play it. But, if others can play it, and gain joy from it, and experience this wonderful period in the history of China, then I will be content. One day, this game will be mine, but until that time, enjoy this game comrades. And never forget, DO NOT PURSUE LU BU!!!~
Ha! Ironically had Zhuge Liang not decided to pointlessly prolong conflict and war by joining Liu Bei and help the latter resist the might of Cao Cao and just allow the latter to unify the country in the early 200s, the land would have known peace 6-7 decades sooner. So much needless bloodshed and destruction could have been avoided had he not been blinded by loyalty to a dying dynasty.
unrealsimon93 Dividing the empire into three is the best solution at the time. You need to understand that once the empire was united after the 3 kingdoms period, it corrupted. Which is one of many cycles in Chinese history, united-corruption-division. After China was united by the Jin dynasty(the one that ended the 3 Kingdoms period), it quickly began to come apart and allowed the uprising of 5 barbarians to happen.
@@harecrazy9104 First of all, Cao Cao =/= Nazi. He was a brilliant administrator and he never even tried to usurp the imperial throne so we can't be sure what would have happened if he managed to reunify China. Secondly, the disparity of power between the axis and allies was not so huge that victory was simply impossible, as shown by the fact that it merely took 6 years to defeat them. Conversely, the power disparity between Shu and Wei was so huge that it was under no circumstance possible to restore the Han dynasty when Wei had 20 times the cities and 50 times the population and production capacity of Shu. It was already a MIRACLE that the kingdom of Shu was able to be established at all in the face of such adversity, let alone survive for 4 decades, thanks pretty much exclusively to the efforts and ingenuity of Zhuge Liang. Finally, I'm merely criticizing the dialogues of this video by pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to restore peace and reduce the suffering for the people yet constantly waging unwinnable campaigns against Wei which caused so much unnecessary losses of life.
@John Wick no, because the USA can't even conquer China despite its military superiority, let alone Russia and the European Union or an alliance between them. But Shu was destined to lose to Wei so it was a pointless struggle.
Keep in mind people, this is an in-engine trailer. It uses the equivalent of ultra graphics of the actual game, though the movements and camera angles are scripted to create the trailer. I haven't checked the comments yet, but I know how quick people get angry over these kinds of info drops. Know that CA did not mean for this video to show how the game will play, but rather used it to show off the campaign and battle map design in ultra graphics. CA used this to show off the works of the map and character design teams, not the work of the programming teams. Their job is a lot more time consuming and delicate, so be patient. We will get actual gameplay footage soon
From what I recall, Zhuge Liang rejected joining Liu Bei for a few times. I think it was the third trip that Liu Bei made that finally Zhuge Liang made up his mind to join him.
Alphidius it wasn’t Zhuge Liang rejecting Liu Bei. Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang 3 times to find him and he wasn’t there the first 2 times. And yet Liu Bei kept waiting to meet him and left noted to his brothers to visit him and on the 3rd time when he was about to give up, he made one last visit to Zhuge Liang and found out Zhuge arrived at night and was sleeping and waited all day for him to wake up and recruited him. Since then, it has entered a Chinese saying of waiting, patiently for all good things eventually arrive.
Nice trailer, except historically Zhuge Kongming was supossed to be quite a bit taller than his lord Liu Bei, based on Rotk, Kongming's height measured about 184cm while Liu Bei was only 173cm they shouldn't appear as almost the same height.
Where did you get the 173cm for Liu Bei? In the records of the Three Kingdoms, I found seven chi and five cun tall which seems pretty tall. Plus a tall man would go well with the long arms description.
@@aoishiro6622 During Han dynasty and early yeas of Three Kingdoms era, 1 chi =23cm , 1 cun =2.3cm, so Liu Bei was around 173cm , Kongming 184cm, Zhao Yun same height as Kongming.
I just want to know if the modeler has some misunderstandings about the original artist's paintings.Painting and 3D modeling are really different! I hope that CA will once again change Zhuge Liang's 3D style because Zhuge Liang has a high status in Chinese history and East Asian history. He is the embodiment of wisdom. I think it would be better to change his eyes and mouth.
Leonardo da Vinci: a millennial Hipster that travelled time into rennaisance. Zhuge Liang: an average Total War player that travelled time into Han Dynasty.
The developers can add korean and Japan to the main map like they want to pounce on China once it is weakened by internal war that would be very interesting to play
Anyone who is interested in this game should take a chance to watch Romance of Three Kingdoms tv series 1994 (available on UA-cam) to have a better appreciation of its historical background and unique characters of each figure.
I am digging the scenery and the immersion this trailer has! I wish it was longer to display some more of the actual game map as we will see it in campaign mode! Also, I would really like a trailer for Yuan Shu! I think, unless they make Dong Zhou playable at launch (not dlc!) he will be my first and favorite lord.
They've given us gameplay. There was a seige battle, admittedly back around E3, an ambush battle not even two months ago, a two part video on diplomacy, and there should be one on spies coming out shortly.
It was said by the teacher of Zhuge Liang，the water-mirror master Sima Hui in the Romance of the Three Kingdom when Zhuge Liang finally encountered Liu Bei：Zhuge Liang had waited so long to finally met the worthy master to serve，but sadly at a wrong moment. 在《三国演义》里诸葛亮的老师水镜先生司马徽在诸葛亮遇见刘备后曾说：“孔明虽得其主，未得其时，惜哉！”
@@nolbertos NONO, this is just my net name, not zhuge. But Zhuge is a real surname in China. In my high and junior school of my hometown, there really some mates with surname ZhuGe. Also their grades are really better than others. As well, there are some zhuge mountain, zhuge river, which have been existing there for thousands years.
“The late Emperor was not ashamed to visit my cottage and seek my advice. Grateful for his regard, I responded to his appeal and threw myself into his service.”
As a Chinese, I have to say the landscape is beautiful. Overall, this is a good video. But the way Zhuge Liang receive the fan is not what I think it should be. As everyone assumes, he should make a bow with hand folded in front, then receive it. In the video, the way he manners is too western-style, to be more specific, like a muscle man (forgive me). Zhuge Liang is not a fighter like Kratos. On the contrary, he is a self-confident, wise, somehow a little bit arrogant strategist. His manner in this video just makes me feel strange.
Zhuge Liang was the most humble of all the people in the three kingdoms, not the most arrogant. Most humble to spend half of his life in the hills doing nothing.
Man, I'm super excited for this game. Being a big fan of the senseless, mindless, button mashing that is Dynasty Warriors, Zhuge Liang is my favorite character.
This story is about how Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang into his company. Chinese called this process 三顾茅庐. In English, it means three times meeting of the sod house. Finally, Zhuge Liang follow with Liu Bei.
to recruit Zhuge Liang you gotta camp the oath brothers stack on zhuge's mountains for six turns and then the game autoplays itself to your victory as long as you don't interrupt the autoplay 🤣🤣🤣
Huge fan of The romance of the three kingdoms ! I can't wait for this game already preordered ! I'm going to be playing as Shu first because Guan yu is my favorite warrior and Zhuge liang my most admired strategist and let's not forget Zhang fei my best drinking buddy !

He sees the land divided into three, even before it happens, He lay out a strategy for the weakest warden, and helped him become a king. He lead and fought seven wars for restoring the Han dynasty, while kept the people in back lines fed and rich. He is called to be the "sleeping dragon", a true legend. In China, people still visit his temple.
his wife was just as interesting as he was
she was a master engineer and a good strategist in her own right
Yue ying ?
This is going be a Total War with a great soundtrack.
@Dominic similar climates? China is about 25 times bigger than Japan ...

(hype for Meng Huo)
@@arima272 Shu and Wu are both south kingdoms, there are tropical rainforests in the south of Shu where Meng Huo comes from with elephants. In the west of Wei, there are deserts. Does Japan have real deserts or rainforests?
@@fredlament "main theater" and "not very wrong" is not hard to understand
@@arima272 only on the early stage of TK, the "main theater" is north China, later on, south China plays also an important role. Besides, even in north China, there are also differences(despite deserts and huge grasslands): in winter, there are very few rains/snows in north China but there are much more in Japan due to the sea. A geography course could help.
Hah actually Liu Bei came to Zhuge Liang’s house for three times to ask his help, and Zhuge Liang finally moved by Liu Bei and became one of his most loyal counselor and friend.
I think CA got it right. As far as I remember Zhuge Liang wasn't at home during liu bei's first 2 visits. The first visit might have been before the beginning of the video, when he just got home. The second one was during the video when he traveled the land and the third visit was shown at the end.
he died from overworked
Max Musermann you are right, your explanation make more sense
@@kaleidoscope3234 1st case of karoshi in history.
I want a trailer for Xu Shu, he was Liu Bei strategist before Kong Ming and the one who recommended Liu Bei to seek his him.
one year later and no Xu Shu trailer :,(
@@Scorg83 at least , we got him
I'm glad this mastermind got his own trailer. Would have liked to see one for all the faction leaders with their key members, but I get they had limited budget. Zhuge Liang was definitely at the top of my list though.
P.S. I wish they did a Yuan Shu one just to show the grandeur and arrogance of the man.
Now Eiko's tactician.
The background music is so Kongming aka Master Zhuge Liang. HYPED !
*Kongming
He dislike Cao cao.When Caocao invading in Xu province, he just a 13years boy live there . Bad memory.

i can't wait to play this game. Please make this a memorable game for decades to come!
1:48 "Will you marry me?"
ayyy, i heard of him before. All of my Chinese teachers in Primary and Middle school talked about this guy a lot, I never paid much attention though. Kinda wish I did, he seems interesting
The Hero's Journey to buff Steam Tanks was better
He's still going
Who needs steam tanks when you have Sisters of Avelorn?
Thanks to the person who corrected me.

as a Chinese, I think Liu Bei here is impolite, giving things should use two hands, not just one
Oriental styled game produced by ocidentals... Lack of a better research
What I'm rather concerned about is why does he give the fan to him lol what's the point, it's his fan in the first place
@@UltramanII ye, its his fan. *SPOILER ALERT *
He leaves it there when he enters his home, after a long trip, visiting the countryside and cities, then Liu Bei returns it to him, so that Zhuge Liang can come with him to the long journey. Pure symbolism
Yea altho im not a Chinese but we have the similar thing in our culture too so it's weird to see him done that
I believe it's meant to be a gesture synonymous with "reaching out," ideally to illustrate the picture of a gentle ruler offering his hand, counter to a harsh ruler who would be aggressive or demanding. As someone else stated, it seems to be a much more Western idea than a Chinese one, though I suppose that's the intention with the audience they're marketing towards.
Very pretty trailer, although when are we getting more gameplay??
Grace announced on reddit that there should be a gameplay video next week, which focuses on the new spy system that CA aims to implement. So, soon(TM)
Masterbean awesome thanks man
On fb, they said more gameplays in next week
Unfortunately this is what Total War headed to, more cinematic instead of pure strategy. Still remember Rome Total War trailer back then ? Less cinematic but more massive battle. More trailer faction and features as well.
Game's probably full of bugs so they don't wanna be compromised. Just wait till release and fix it with some patches after they get their pay. Don't be naive.

Fighting for peace is the same as cleaning with a dung
Only when the tyrant being banished and order being restored does peace will prevail, none of them can be done without fighting
Also, hello fellow Indonesian
The painter and the modeler have a bone to pick
Really excited for this game and the scenery looks gorgeous! Only thing that bugs me is Liu Bei holding out the fan with one hand instead of two, which is prideful and disrespectful in Chinese culture. The whole thing with Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang thrice was a great show of humility and respect.
Hope Zhao Yun or other 5 tiger generals could get individual trailers as well😊😍
Kongming: Jan Jan! A Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!
A really expect this level of soundtrack in game, right now it seems amazing.
Liu Bei looks like he's inspired by the actor in Red Cliff.
Also Zhang Fei and Guan Yu They look spot on the actors from Red Cliff.
They should just follow the 2010 television version it's much more better
I knew that it was kong ming the moment I saw that feather. question is: why is this rated as containing violence? i havent seen a single killing.
囧

Zhuge Liang is a genius tactician and cunning minister, his army managed to defeat Sima Yi even after his death.
0:03 my teachers talking about my grades
this trailer makes it seem like Zhuge Liang might be possible to recruit by anyone who fulfills certain conditions of virtue and such.
I suspect there are some Characters that are more easily to recruit to your faction if you are a virtues ruler who holds his agreements, doesn´t plunder Citys make fair duels and the like, while others might be more inclinend to join if you do the opposite. Being Ruthless tyrannt who plunders and betrays could be a good Liege Lord for people who like to carry out such things. It feels a bit like the righteous and fearsome traits from medieval 2 is returning.
Zhuge Liang was a brilliant tactician skilled in ambush and open warfare on varied terrains.
However, he was not proficient in leading troops in siege warfare. This explains why the kingdom of Shu made little territorial gains. They could defend, but they could not expand. He also launched several failed campaigns against Wei in Northern expeditions, partially due to supply issues with magistrates who plotted against him.
Han Xin of the Chu-Han Contention was a better strategist. He turned the same area of Shu into a supply trove, then went on to conquer the restored lands of Zhao and Qi, which would have been the same lands as Wei.
Not really, all his campaigns and battles failed at least irl
Zhuge Liang was a better politic and inventor, he leaded with another area but was an strategist like Leonardo da Vinci. Li Yan was the military guy that time, it is said that Li Yan was charged with the Grand Commander jobs
Me: CHARGE FORWARD!
My men: General! The Pandas!
Me: FORMATION!
Zhuge Liang, talent in a time of trouble.
All those years wasted on DYNASTY WARRIORS......now we finally get an epic strategy game!
About time. I was beginning to get the impression that 3 Kingdoms was a trading-poster game.
1:03-1:06 most beautiful part of the video in my opinion.
AMAZING. I have waited my whole life for this game. Can't wait to play it.
My beloved Zhuge Liang. Heaven was wrong that didn’t make you winner😥
*Violence*
Against minorities
I regret that I cannot play this game due to my PC being a potato.
As a player of the Warriors games, and the ROTK games on the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, I will have to wait until I can play it.
But, if others can play it, and gain joy from it, and experience this wonderful period in the history of China, then I will be content.
One day, this game will be mine, but until that time, enjoy this game comrades.
And never forget, DO NOT PURSUE LU BU!!!~
Ha! Ironically had Zhuge Liang not decided to pointlessly prolong conflict and war by joining Liu Bei and help the latter resist the might of Cao Cao and just allow the latter to unify the country in the early 200s, the land would have known peace 6-7 decades sooner. So much needless bloodshed and destruction could have been avoided had he not been blinded by loyalty to a dying dynasty.
unrealsimon93 Dividing the empire into three is the best solution at the time. You need to understand that once the empire was united after the 3 kingdoms period, it corrupted. Which is one of many cycles in Chinese history, united-corruption-division. After China was united by the Jin dynasty(the one that ended the 3 Kingdoms period), it quickly began to come apart and allowed the uprising of 5 barbarians to happen.
Without competition, every man will corrupt.
Well, by that logic, I guess everyone should surrender to Nazi in WWII, then there would not be any more bloodshed and war.
@@harecrazy9104 First of all, Cao Cao =/= Nazi. He was a brilliant administrator and he never even tried to usurp the imperial throne so we can't be sure what would have happened if he managed to reunify China. Secondly, the disparity of power between the axis and allies was not so huge that victory was simply impossible, as shown by the fact that it merely took 6 years to defeat them. Conversely, the power disparity between Shu and Wei was so huge that it was under no circumstance possible to restore the Han dynasty when Wei had 20 times the cities and 50 times the population and production capacity of Shu. It was already a MIRACLE that the kingdom of Shu was able to be established at all in the face of such adversity, let alone survive for 4 decades, thanks pretty much exclusively to the efforts and ingenuity of Zhuge Liang.
Finally, I'm merely criticizing the dialogues of this video by pointing out the hypocrisy of wanting to restore peace and reduce the suffering for the people yet constantly waging unwinnable campaigns against Wei which caused so much unnecessary losses of life.
@John Wick no, because the USA can't even conquer China despite its military superiority, let alone Russia and the European Union or an alliance between them. But Shu was destined to lose to Wei so it was a pointless struggle.
Keep in mind people, this is an in-engine trailer. It uses the equivalent of ultra graphics of the actual game, though the movements and camera angles are scripted to create the trailer.
I haven't checked the comments yet, but I know how quick people get angry over these kinds of info drops. Know that CA did not mean for this video to show how the game will play, but rather used it to show off the campaign and battle map design in ultra graphics.
CA used this to show off the works of the map and character design teams, not the work of the programming teams. Their job is a lot more time consuming and delicate, so be patient. We will get actual gameplay footage soon
Amazing, This game needs a Mod of colours from Dinasty Warriors games. Liu Bei is green!
From what I recall, Zhuge Liang rejected joining Liu Bei for a few times. I think it was the third trip that Liu Bei made that finally Zhuge Liang made up his mind to join him.
Alphidius it wasn’t Zhuge Liang rejecting Liu Bei. Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang 3 times to find him and he wasn’t there the first 2 times. And yet Liu Bei kept waiting to meet him and left noted to his brothers to visit him and on the 3rd time when he was about to give up, he made one last visit to Zhuge Liang and found out Zhuge arrived at night and was sleeping and waited all day for him to wake up and recruited him. Since then, it has entered a Chinese saying of waiting, patiently for all good things eventually arrive.
The sleeping dragon!
CA trailers are masterpieces but this one is still the best
"Yes, the man who tossed his baby on the ground and gave him brain damage is the one true lord I can follow."
I hope it's a fake news. Otherwise, the minister's would boot him out from the throne.
I just started reading Volume 2 last night and the timing of this trailer introducing Zhuge Liang is perfect
Nice trailer, except historically Zhuge Kongming was supossed to be quite a bit taller than his lord Liu Bei, based on Rotk, Kongming's height measured about 184cm while Liu Bei was only 173cm they shouldn't appear as almost the same height.
Where did you get the 173cm for Liu Bei? In the records of the Three Kingdoms, I found seven chi and five cun tall which seems pretty tall.
Plus a tall man would go well with the long arms description.
Its said that Kongming had 200cm
@@aoishiro6622 During Han dynasty and early yeas of Three Kingdoms era, 1 chi =23cm , 1 cun =2.3cm, so Liu Bei was around 173cm , Kongming 184cm, Zhao Yun same height as Kongming.
@@EduardoFerreira-gi7wo 200cm ? Thats yao ming 😂
I just want to know if the modeler has some misunderstandings about the original artist's paintings.Painting and 3D modeling are really different! I hope that CA will once again change Zhuge Liang's 3D style because Zhuge Liang has a high status in Chinese history and East Asian history. He is the embodiment of wisdom. I think it would be better to change his eyes and mouth.

later Leonardo da Vinci because anime girl
Zhuge Liang came back to life as Pseudo-Servant and best friend with iskandar
sorry i am a fate fan
The developers can add korean and Japan to the main map like they want to pounce on China once it is weakened by internal war that would be very interesting to play
Sima Yi: "where's my trailer?"
Anyone who is interested in this game should take a chance to watch Romance of Three Kingdoms tv series 1994 (available on UA-cam) to have a better appreciation of its historical background and unique characters of each figure.
I am digging the scenery and the immersion this trailer has! I wish it was longer to display some more of the actual game map as we will see it in campaign mode! Also, I would really like a trailer for Yuan Shu! I think, unless they make Dong Zhou playable at launch (not dlc!) he will be my first and favorite lord.
I think this definitely might surpass Shogun 2 for my favorite total wars if done right
Come on CA !!! Give us true gameplay !!! The game is out in less than 3 months and all we have seen until now is (beautiful) trailers...
Yeah u might think there is something fishy, hope they have no problems like in most TW games at release...
@@azertyuiop708 Next week there will be a trailer more focused on gameplay and the new spy system.

They've given us gameplay. There was a seige battle, admittedly back around E3, an ambush battle not even two months ago, a two part video on diplomacy, and there should be one on spies coming out shortly.
It was said by the teacher of Zhuge Liang，the water-mirror master Sima Hui in the Romance of the Three Kingdom when Zhuge Liang finally encountered Liu Bei：Zhuge Liang had waited so long to finally met the worthy master to serve，but sadly at a wrong moment.

“The late Emperor was not ashamed to visit my cottage and seek my advice. Grateful for his regard, I responded to his appeal and threw myself into his service.”
As a Chinese, I have to say the landscape is beautiful. Overall, this is a good video. But the way Zhuge Liang receive the fan is not what I think it should be. As everyone assumes, he should make a bow with hand folded in front, then receive it. In the video, the way he manners is too western-style, to be more specific, like a muscle man (forgive me). Zhuge Liang is not a fighter like Kratos. On the contrary, he is a self-confident, wise, somehow a little bit arrogant strategist. His manner in this video just makes me feel strange.
Zhuge Liang was the most humble of all the people in the three kingdoms, not the most arrogant. Most humble to spend half of his life in the hills doing nothing.
Man, I'm super excited for this game. Being a big fan of the senseless, mindless, button mashing that is Dynasty Warriors, Zhuge Liang is my favorite character.
This story is about how Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang into his company. Chinese called this process 三顾茅庐. In English, it means three times meeting of the sod house. Finally, Zhuge Liang follow with Liu Bei.
to recruit Zhuge Liang you gotta camp the oath brothers stack on zhuge's mountains for six turns and then the game autoplays itself to your victory as long as you don't interrupt the autoplay 🤣🤣🤣
Huge fan of The romance of the three kingdoms ! I can't wait for this game already preordered ! I'm going to be playing as Shu first because Guan yu is my favorite warrior and Zhuge liang my most admired strategist and let's not forget Zhang fei my best drinking buddy !
So happy that the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” is getting more love outside of Dynasty Warriors!

It's literally 2 months before release and we barely have had anything
Ok the trailer is there but where is the war?
Just wondering if Zhu Geliang gets his wheel chair late in the game, it would be so dope.
