![]() Although as you’d imagine, Mann is adamant that it’s better than ever. The more prosaic concern with any new Total War game is always whether the artificial intelligence – the franchise’s most consistent fault – has improved, but that’s not something that’s easy to judge after just a quick half an hour’s go. You’re no longer just a statesman, you’re actually a leader and you’re leading your peoples to victory’. ‘They’re not just chess pieces anymore, they’re not pieces you move on a board they’re characters with personality and desires and drives and flaws. However you play the game Mann is keen to emphasise that the characters will still be the most important element. The duel looks great in practice, with proper wushu experts having apparently been used to do the motion capture, but for strategy purists it’s only an option in the Romance mode of the campaign. So I suggest Mythic Mode, simply put it works the way the Romance Mode works with Three Kingdoms, it is toggle you can choose at the beginning of the game and it replaces the default regimental legendary units with there mythic replacements keeping the stats the same. And that’s why he wins, even against the greatest warrior of that age.’Īnd he does win too, although we pretend to Mann that it’s really down to our own tactical genius. He has many officers that he’s been utilising and putting in the right place and making loyal to him. ‘He’s broken all friendships, he’s got no one there to support him, whereas Cao Cao… this is only a fraction of the army he has at this point. Huge armies with thousands of soldiers are yours to command at the click of a button and it’s all far more accessible than new players might imagine. And it’s not only excitingly fast-paced but, as usual for the series, the graphics are amazing. For a start it’s not slow-paced at all, and although the top-level strategy elements on the world map are turn-based the battlefield combat is all in real-time. We always say that strategy games, and slow-paced games in general, are never a sensible thing to play at an event like E3 but Total War is different. Total War’s main campaign has two modes that allows you to use either text as your historical source – ‘two flavours’ of the same game, as Mann puts it. ![]() But there’s also a historical text called Records of the Three Kingdoms, which was written in the 3rd century and is believed to be largely accurate. The latter is named after a historical novel that was written in the 14th century and featured only a fictionalised version of what actually happened.
