    The Three Kingdoms period of China was such a turbulent period, filled with so much heroics and betrayals. Its what the Dynasty Warriors games are based on
    Though there are two records of this period. There is the Records of the Three Kingdoms, written about around the 3-4th CE which is a more historical record of what had happened. And then theres the romance of the three kingdoms, written in the 14th century as an epic story that embelishes the story.
    Regardless, this period is such an interesting and exciting thing to learn and study about, and even play

    Fun fact in several of Total War Three Kingdoms trailers the use ancient Chinese poemes as songs for flavour. My favourites is Liu bei tralier when the use the poem "the road to Shu is hard" and the Eight Princes that use "the seven steps poem". Both fit the contex but both are used a bit ironically. The road to shu is hard is about how difficult it is to travel to the shu region in china but in trailer its used also to symbolises Liu Bei very difficult journey to forming the Shu-Han Kingdom. While the seven steps poem was a plea from a younger brother to his older brother to spare him by reminding him that nothing good comes from brothers killing brothers. It's being used in trailer about 8 imperial princes that turned on eachother starting a massive civil war and almost leading to downfall of china when their foreign tribes that the used as mercenarys turned on them, but that is a story for another time.

    The Cs are pronounced like a sharp "ts". Like the ending of "cats". "Tsao Tsao"
    Cao Cao is basically the Chinese equivalent to Julius Caesar. He was on a similiar level in terms of military genius, political savviness and controversial reputation.

    Total war has some CGI cinematics for their older historical games you may be interested in checking out, Napoleon: Total War Trailer and the Total War: SHOGUN 2™ - CG Intro. They also have some older trailers using in engine stuff for Rome 2 Total War which is probably getting a little dated now.

    Probably the most visually striking total war game in the series.
    The game itself is very good. Good combat, great designs, probably the best diplomacy in the series. Unit roster is the same though for each faction.
    There are no fantasy creatures, but we have Romance mode, in which the generals are super human. There is records mode as well in which the generals are normal units and have bodyguards, so it is more historical.
    Overall, great game with a crap post game support. Once the game was getting good again the company cut support and all future plans were cancelled sadly.

    I love this game, the main draw of the game is the characters thats why there was so many character based trailers. There are a few cutscenes in the game, the intro cinematic for each faction on the base game start date where it gives you some backstory and motivations of that factions leader (the dlcs just get the trailer instead for themselves), 2 cutscenes for when you reach duke and king which is the same for most factions, and an ending cinematic that reflects the original leader's ideals for the land (I'm 99% sure could be misremembering) you get quests during the game that are based off of the narrative and their starting situation in each start date some of which are historical but others are based of the factions historical opinion of other factions which does give some narrative but aren't required for you to progress and also have some generic ones like "reach duke rank". if you would like to see a more narrative focused three kingdoms game I would suggest looking at Dynasty Warriors 7 as it is mostly agreed as the best Dynasty Warriors game story wise you could split it up for each of the kingdoms (Shu (Liu Bei Kingdom), Wu (Sun family Kingdom) , Wei (Cao Cao Kingdom) and Jin which is like a continuation of the Wei kingdom story mode to show the winners of the conflict who usurp Wei and I would suggest doing it in this order). Anyway great video has definitely earned you a new subscriber.

    Three Kingdoms is pretty much a typical China medieval civil war.
    Which technically, led to the War of Eight Princes (also a DLC in the game).
    Which led to the invasion of the Five Barbarians during (or after) the War of Eight Princes if I'm right.
    Which also led to War of Sixteen Kingdoms.
    Mindblowing.
    Yeah, basically a mess. But none of them had something epic like Romance of Three Kingdoms which is a romancized version of it which made this specific period of history becomes something of a cinematic/game interest, especially in South East/East Asia.
    The second trailer is basically the story between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao (who is also playable). Former friends turned enemies.
    6:31
    Cao Cao is basically a tactical scheming genius warlord and his court in this moment has some characters that are unique, with their own models. The one with the eyepatch is Xiahou Dun if I'm right (He was shot in the eye with an arrow and yanked the arrow with the eye out and devoured the eye), Xu Chu (Cao Cao's bodyguard who was known to be a giant man)
    The rest is mostly characters with generic models.
    I like how CA made Yellow Turbans not bandits and murderers but potrayed them as desperate civilians wanting a change.
    Sadly, CA pulled it's plugs but modders do some amazing stuff to keep it alive. An entire revamp of the game, adding more historical characters with their own respective models and unique potraits instead of the generic portraits etc etc.

    It is very interesting to have differences in quality of cinematics pointed out, things that I'd never have noticed. But take the Furious Wild cinematic for instance. On one hand I suppose it makes sense for the quality to be somewhat lower. That DLC is a faction pack, and is significantly cheaper than say, A World Betrayed, which is a campaign expansion. Same for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, also a faction pack. It seems somewhat cynical to think the price point of the DLC may impact the quality of the trailer. But I'd imagine it probably does.

  • @akibatube335
    @akibatube335 5 днів тому +6

    It's a running gag that CA has an incredible cinematography team for its trailers and marketing, but its games often fall short of the hype they garner.
    Other titles, such as Troy and Pharoah, are similar thanks to the game's historical setting and the teams' ability to sell that narrative. But I'd recommend any trailer across their whole library. Even their earliest titles despite the older graphics.
    A solid analysis as always, looking forward to more!

      I honestly blame Warhammer total war abit for the issue. Considering they've stuck to the whole idea of heroes and lords and mythic units and crappy combat.
      I miss Rome 2, Medieval 2 and shogun 2 type combat.
      Three kingdoms atleast allowed the player to play romance (your lords are single entity or normal mode total war, they have a retinue like every other previous total war game.)
      But it also doesnt help, they did Three kingdoms dirty.... good diplomacy, but crappy unit varieties. I literally had to use mods to create my own diversity.

    The games was based on a mythical period similar to the illiad, oversimplified has a nice summary of it. And CA took advantage to make the game in 2 versions, historical and fantastical, where in the latter it behaves more like Warhammer with single entity heroes and lords being power units. The game is awesome still, and is in my opinion one of the most underappreciated TW titles.

    @reginaldarchibald1616 5 днів тому

    I really liked the Yellow Turban faction because they represent a really beautiful "What If" scenario if they ever win for the period - with how they sort of lift up the people and improve everyone's lives in an almost comical/mythical kind of "Good Ending" for China. But I have to admit that their DLC was an obvious Cash Grab - their faction a heavily stripped down/simplified version of the other factions - which may have also made playing them easier as I didn't have to deal with espionage and court intrigue.
    Real shame how they pulled support from this game, still had a lot of other topics or regions they could've developed if they just wanted to sell more DLCs. Just like you said with the Furious Wild as well - the budget was going down by that period, rather obvious with the trailer, maybe should've seen the writing on the wall by that time that they were on the way to cutting support from the game.

    I would say that they oversold the narrative in the game.
    The story is great because it's from the history and the novel, which is a very great story. I've read that novel several times and I think they did represent that story nearly perfectly in the trailers. I could almost always tell what exactly was happening in each scene of each trailer, and I think they're genius representation of the scenes in the book.
    In the actual game, however, the game rely WAY too much on you knowing the story to push that narrative through. Important novel characters often show up with little to no fanfare or indication that they are special. There are missions that try to push you to follow the footsteps of the characters you're playing as but it's extremely easy for you to break it. For some characters (like Liu Bei, my favourite) it's outright impossible to trace his historical path.

Nothing is ever gonna beat the three Warhammer games for me though, just the sheer diversity of units between the different races is crazy (let alone the amount of factions you can have playing at the same time in one campaign). Magic being a thing is just a bonus at that point, which makes the Lords and Heroes way more interesting than oh this is like a regular guy with a sword *but stronger*.
