Total War: Three Kingdoms (PC)
Total War: Three Kingdoms is shaping up to be one of the best games in the series. Not only is it exploring a new era of history but it is also adding a handful of new and exciting mechanics that should freshen up the experience for long-time fans.
In particular, changes to heroes and diplomacy have been a big point of focus in the game’s marketing.
When players start a campaign now, they will be prompted to choose a hero instead of a faction. Each character will come with an assigned class and traits that can affect all levels of play.
As for diplomacy, the most significant change is the added levels of complexity coming to Three Kingdoms. For example, players can now form coalitions to complete specific goals instead of fully committing to the requirements of an alliance.
It would be easy to imagine Creative Assembly losing interest in the Total War series as Three Kingdoms will be the 12th mainline game in the franchise, but the emphasis on bringing in new things for players to do is very promising. Hopefully, when the game launches on May 23, it can exceed the expectations of its fans.
