nah. 3 kingdoms may be based in history, but it's only fun with dynasty warriors memes.
Robert Myers
Three kingdoms is about as historically accurate as King Arthur
Christian Nguyen
There are no history fags anymore. Not it's all about western fantasy versus eastern fantasy.
Jayden Bailey
it's the 2010 Three Kingdoms series. It's very dated and very chinky. People hyped it up as Chinese Game of Thrones, but it kinda falls short in that comparison. The only reason to watch it is for this based motherfucker

Ian Williams
Herodotus is a better comparison

Kevin Lopez
Fuck it, let's ask!
/eagg/ and 3kingdoms-Fags. Do you side with the Veeky Forums and their crappy Fantasy title. Or do you side with the true owners of /twg/!!
Bentley Collins
>Gongsun Zan
Adam Lopez
Whoops
Jose Butler
I knew Veeky Forums had a fair amount of weebs and nippon lovers, but china? roflmao
Charles Butler
I hope CA is culturally sensitive and inclusive enough to include Africans in the armies of China.
Brody Cooper
We wuz dynasties and shiieeet
Gavin Ward
based CaoCao (or as his homies call him --Mengde), is one of the most based people in history. From a lowly captain position - he rose through the ranks in order to unite China and end the chaotic period. Sadly the Shu version of the story became more popular, so he's not really known as such
Xavier Thomas
I'll take history with a touch of fantasy rather than fullblown orcs and skeletons and fireballs. It's the best we can hope at this point until CA stops catering to history-hating, brainlet casuals
Easton Rogers
IS IT TIME FOR HIS RETURN???
Christian Roberts
I second this. Never give up astolfoposters, never give in.
>When do we get a Astolfo LL mod for Bretonnia?
Michael Wright
christ, i thought /twg/ was bad before
Anthony Nguyen
/twg/ is now divided between Fantasy-fags, 3Kingdoms-fags, and hist-fags.The winner of this shitpost war will be the rulers of /twg/ until the next release cycle
Samuel Flores

Evan Reed
China is unironically the greatest country in history.
Elijah Murphy
at least the chinkaboo's will get shafted with DLC like everyone else
Brayden Sanders
>China and history separated Explain
Cameron Gonzalez
Get off my coast
Jason Brooks
no historyfag with any taste cares about china
Brody Allen
HOL UP SO U BE SAYIN WE WUZ HUANGDIZ AND SHEIT?
Lincoln Moore
The diplomatic situation of my Greater Nordland game. I also got colonies in Araby.
We just don't know. We don't even know how powerful the hero characters will be. Maybe they can kill a lot of normal soldiers, but only 1 at the time
Levi Baker
Enjoy your sagas then.
Jace Perry
Any chink pros here? Genuine question: how did peasants purify their water, as I've noticed a lot of their meals required the use of water in them (assuming so). I love learning this sort of history. Google, Google Scholar, Bing, and Duck Duck Go have all failed me, or my search engine skills are shit.
Jayden Bennett
>tfw Kislev and Kraka Drak is united against the norscans and going strong.
Couronne just got fucked though(by dwarfs) and the Empire taking a lot of bretonnian land.
James Taylor
Most of the population on this western board was more influenced by the Western Canon. So of course China's historical culture is different, even more so than say, Japan in Shogun and Shogun 2. Likely because Japan is a culture that repeatedly took influences from China, and changed radically from European influence.
/twg/s idea of history, and it's presentation are inherently different than how ancient Chinese history is presented. It's hard for me to put into words as I've been fully immersed in both histories since I was young.
Nicholas Parker
they have wells, and they just boiled them I think
Aiden Williams
The general, long divided, must unite! A great archive burns, and shitposters rule over the ashes As the thread autosages, new threads grow ever darker CA's greed corrupts the future, and complete games shatter in the flames of DLC yet from the cinders, the Fantasyfags, historyfags, and 3kingdoms-fags emerge
The general, long united, must divide, and destiny be shaped by its champions!
William Phillips
Also this isn't the work of norscans. Beastmen did it
Gabriel Morgan
you boiled it like most people.
Easton Hernandez
First for best warrior under shu
Evan Mitchell
>mfw somebody says 3k isn't history
Daniel Lopez
it's going to get the warhammer treatment so it's effectively fantasy
Ryan Nguyen
Post yfw Pei Yuan Shao will be a DLC hero
Easton Mitchell
if they are gonna do some warhammer bullshit they better atleast have food and mass famines as a big deal
Oliver Carter
does that mean we're getting fantasy weapons? is Guan Yu's Crescent Blade going to be fuck huge?
Nolan Cooper
I'll concede that, but it's more about CA pandering to casuals than about historyfag/fantasyfag divide.
Colton Scott
mfw yellow turbans will be dlc
Dominic Garcia
gotrek & felix when
Chase Campbell

If they wanted to present it as a good historical title they shouldn't have focused the trailer on the heroes. It's definitely fanservice in that regard, for people who are learned in the three kingdoms, understanding the signifigance of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu facing down Lu Bu.
As far as total war fans, they don't necessarily know who any of these chinks are. Normally that wouldn't matter too much, because it's within scope of traditional total war historical titles, there's little focus on any one character, emphasizing the kingdoms and governments, with the ocassional "character" being limited to generals in the western sense. They're not "le epic badass warriors" for the most part, they're tacticians. Three kingdoms has that, but in all modern representations of the medium, they're all "le epic badass warriors" and that's exactly what CA showed in the trailer.
In a dream Chinese total war game, I'd be playing a chinese total war, not a dynasty warriors total war.
I've wanted three kingdoms total war since I learned about total war, playing rome 1 in 2005. I never wanted Dynasty Warriors in total war, I have Dynasty Warriors for that. Not to mention theres no way they could, or would want to match the ridiculousness of Warhammers heroes. That's a good thing, but it remains to be seen if they realize that.
Thomas Nguyen

Austin Anderson
So what kind of soldier were Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and the rest of these hero types? Wuxia? Are those even historical? Are they legal?
Gabriel Roberts
I know how you feel bro
Nathan Moore
>Play Dwarfs in Multiplayer >Be so good host kicks you from the lobby GRUDGES HAS BEEN SETTLETED!!!!

Hopefully with all the other ridiculous stuff >greek fire, much less fire arrows >new terrain + fire mechanics as outlined in the Art of War >crazy formations >boulder ambushes >mazes >setting the enemy's navy on fire >generals betraying left and right >hundreds of warlords >contextual, poetic battle speeches >all sorts of fancy artillery >1v1 me fagit in battles
Jason Rodriguez

Jacob Brown
could you repeat the question?
Charles Nguyen
They were just really martially practiced dudes which made them above the average soldiers. Some were more ridiculous than the others like Lu Bu. But the book makes it out like they had superpowers, which is cool.
Wyatt Williams
Knights of the blazing sun would be the only reason I would want to buy Volkmar and ugly shite vampireman
Hunter Lee
Good post my man.
Mason Gomez
Dwarfs got a bit ridiculous with all the slowing and netting
Leo Jenkins
If it weren't for the stupidly glowing lances (the effect is just downright ugly) the BLAZE IT! knights would be my favorite unit by far.
Nathan Johnson
hoyl shit user are you me although I don't like Zhang Jiao much, Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo are based as fuck
Anyways I haven't been in /twg/ in ages, give me a quick rundown on things. Are desu-voltards/rometards sperging about the new game?
