HISTORICAL FANTASY!

>China

Best boy coming through

HEY GUYS remember how li lung killed 1000908 enemies and how ching chong chung jumped 100 feet into the air to come down and destroy the enemy wall? And let's not forget hung sing ling who shot an arrow and jumped upon it to travel very fast aournd the country.

MAN am I happy about the new HISTORCAL Total War, life is truly a gas, it's gonna be amazeballs

...

SHIT
I WOULD PREFER AFRICA TOTAL WAR

>Red chinese-style armor
Doesn't look anything close to lamellar.

>The weapon is clearly a guandao
Not unless you consider European glaives "Chinese".

>Swarm enemy with numbers
Memes aside that's not how they operated.

>Dynasty Warriors Total War

I like that period too but think about it in video game development mindset. This is what CA does now, they will sell you your favorite time periods piecemeal.

>tfw Thrones of Britannia is the last chance of Historyfriends
>tfw If it flops while Three Kingdoms succeeds it will be the end of Total Wars as Attilafriends know.
>tfw Rome 2 was so bad that it made Attila unprofitable and killed history Total War games for good.

>Anime China

These games might finally be interesting.

I fucking hate STUFF days

Every fucking time CA announces something the general becomes unusable for hours due to the sheer number of cheap low-effort shitposts and falseflagging wojaks

So when will there be cute girls like Wang Yi or Chunhua.

Oh boy, the "WE WUZ" memes that would come if that happened, not to mention /pol/acks losing their shit

Warhammer 2 > Britannia > Warhammer 3 > Rome 2 Release > China

i'm not touching this shit. All i wanted from the new Historical Total war game was TW:Empire 2 or Total War: Victoria. But no they shill for the fucking chinks........fuck Creative Assblazty. Fuck them.

>beat every campaign on legendary
>unlock secret Roman Colony faction

the general was perfectly fine when kangz were announced/when we finally got kangz gameplay the other day

It goes to shit when games are announced only

You probably don't contribute like you think you do.

>Secret Liuqin faction unlocked

Alright back the fuck up fags the BIGGEST BRO IN ALL OF RECORDED HISTORY coming through

This nigga flat out told the emperor to his face to shove his awards and titles up his ass and the only person he would ever accept an award from was Cao Cao.
Dude was such a bro to his cousin that when Cao Cao died he died of sadness a few weeks later

Thats even ignoring the fact that nigga was so smart and chill he wrote books that were credited to forming modern Chinas entire government back when it was still cool

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums, /eagg/ are in one thread now

Reminder that total war used to have good historical accuracy.

>tfw we will likely not get him because it's focusing on early TK

WE WUZ DAWI N SHIET

Just take a break from /twg/ then. Play some Total War

So he was a literal homosexual that wanted the Cao Cock so much he died when he couldn't get it, you mean

What IRL figures would make good Warham Legendary Lords? What magic might they use?

Also Wu is best.

It would be such a shit show my god.

unironically my fear w/ this game

there is a difference between that and a game where General Ho Lee Fuk can kill 1,000,000,000 Moo Goo Gai Pan soldiers in a single day at the battle of Pu Pu Plains

The fact there is not a single video game that comes even close to this art style pisses me off endlessly

Its pretty common type of design for the fantasy setting, you see it all through old Warhammer and D&D art. But no game comes close to it even slightly.

Remember those historically accurate scotland units
Those truly was a golden time

>game where General Ho Lee Fuk can kill 1,000,000,000 Moo Goo Gai Pan soldiers in a single day

It looks like that because they are all oil paintings.

Who /CHINACHAD/ here?

>Thrones of Britannia
>History

Lmao

I know your post is meant to be ironic but CA did a pretty good job with the grunts.

>Ho Lee Fuk
>Sum Tink Wong
>Bang Ding Owe
Total War: China game designers

Required Three Kingdoms viewing in preparation?

Arthur Total War when

>where General Ho Lee Fuk can kill 1,000,000,000
Have you ever played medieval 2
general units could solo 100000000000 levy units once you got enough random traits

>it was china

lel

Barbarossa, he'd be a fucking Bright Wizard.

So have fantasyfags finally achieved ultimate victory then?

Even the mainline historical games are essentially just reskinned fantasy at this point

This is the ideal Shu Han lord. You may not like it, but this is what peak benevolence looks like.

>pic of Jadwiga actually having her face
>not just a zoom in on her perfect child birthing hips

NO
IT WAS OUR TURN
AND THEY STOLE IT WITH CHINA

OUR
TURN

/eagg/ represent, where my dadudus @?

who's excited for the 2021 Medieval 3 release?

I wish someone could set up a streaming chatbox sesh for faster shitposting.

Huh

Looks the same as the other generals

At least that will save on art design for the portraits!

...

Read the novel. It's great

>anime total war: china
how exciting

We still have that Viking game coming.

Been like that since forever basically

I thought Britannia was the next map

wut is goin on

youtube.com/watch?v=GcZ2zq82ebA&list=PLQgby8Rb0ImEP4108x04Feg2dBvuDADJG

Sanguo 2010 TV show is great.

This.

Bitch all you want about Heroes in a historical setting, but you can't have Three Kingdoms without the heroic hijinks of the named characters in it.

That shit is literally embedded in Chinese/East Asian folk depictions of the period. To the point that one of the cunts' actions became so overblown he became a God.

>3 Kingdoms creates 3 kingdoms
Pottery.

aint that an Atilla dlc

m.youtube.com/watch?v=GcZ2zq82ebA

Britannia is the last holdout, history aint dead yet.

Oh yeah I forgot about that game.

If the vikangz game fails miserably, that's the final nail in the coffin.

I hope they go full dynasty warriors. It's just about the only way they can make it good.

>can't read moonrunes

I'll pass

>tfw they call you a villain and you dont care

>Atilla expansion is the last holdout

>People prefer controlling named, durable heroes over shitty random guys

Congratulations, Total War just discovered what RTS discovered 500 years ago.

But who will be the Mongols that will unite them?

yfw Battle of Chi Bi

Cool shit Dun did in history
>Beat a grown man to death for insulting his teachers honor when he was 14
>Got his eye shot out with an arrow and refused to step down as general to get it treated
>Built the largest irrigation channel made in China, notable for working with peasants in manual labor
>Got so pissed than bandit Liu Bei raped and murdered peasants under his care he ran by himself to go attack the entire bandit company leaving his guards
>Spent most of his personal fortune on building shit for the peasants
>Fucked like 5 different bitches and had over 10 kids all so his sons could serve his cousin.

Yes but this time user its a history game only made by history developers

All the fantasy ones are in Warhammer, and all the interns and idiots are in the future flop China

>tfw Pang Tong most likely DLC

Some horrid amalgamation of them plus some unexpected shit.

When are we merging with /eagg/ ?

I hope they don't. I am all for the hero stuff though. I kinda want the normal soldiers to fight too and not just stand there.

This kills the Wufag

>Itza running rampage
>cant replenish my rat horde for some reason after taking captives to take itza
>Teclis is about to take chipotle plains but dont have walls up there yet because need to stabilize public order and make money
>Vampire coast landed in the chipotle plains too

is this the end of skrollks journey?

do skaven really need warrens in every province?

Should I be expecting a story mode from Total War: Three Kingdoms?

People prefer choice and variation

In Warhammer you can have very small powerful elite armies or masses of nameless shit. No other TW game gives that option, its always been homogeneous

Post yfw when china is just a reskinned Atilla on a different map with no internal politics, no redesigned economy and magic generals

Will histfags get mad if they made a Total War: Excalibur?

If you like reading, you might want to give the Sorcery! series a try. It has a lot of illustrations by John Blanche.

not mention the assymentrical design of factions that makes Warhammer so fun.

Read the bios, and laugh at how inaccurate ROTK is
