Hi, I am a Chinese. Please forgive me not good at English. The Chinese network cannot watch youtube. I hope that you can authorize me to reprint the latest Three Kingdoms videos to China. I will not use it for any commercial purposes. I hope I can get authorization. Thank you very much.

Warhammer was my first total war game, but I enjoyed it greatly, and found your videos through it. But 3K looks so good, I think I might have to get it. Thanks as always for teaching me about these games :)

Quite liking the system they have for the lords and hero, seems suitably thematic,

[JasperLane]

So looks like for my playstyle I will be using Champions, Strategists, and Sentinels. I am definitely more of an infantry player. Having a strong front line that protects the range units with some spear in the back to keep any cav at bay.

So, what I am thinking is that apart from the strategist, which seems quite ranged-specific indeed, all the other heroes seems to give "general" buffs that could bring to some interesting matches like, for example: the Vanguard Hero gives +45% to melee attack and that could be applied to archers too, right? So basically giving him archers I would have ranged units thta could be useful even after their ammunition has depleted? Similar thing could go with the Champion hero that gives more armour and that could then recruit some early light cavalry giving it the necessary armour to punch up to their weight... (or recruiting some heavy duty skirmishers) if this work it could be incredibly interesting and allow for some good value repleyability.

土：increase ranged blocked chance and moral (own unit)...their infantry maybe like battle Pilgrims in WH, good ranged block, die quickly in melee, no damage dealing but can hold in line
火：increase melee damage (own unit) and charge bonus (himself only)...their infantry maybe like nasty skulkers? hit hard, die quickly and flee fast. good duelist
木：increase health and armor (himself only)....good duelist, just good duelist
金：increase melee evasion (own unit)...good infantry
水：additional ammo, increase range damage....

I hope they do it like shogun 2 at multiplayer

Looks very interesting and innovative for a historical TW game. I gave up the historical titles after Atilla, since I found it to be more or less the same as their previous games in measures of gameplay. I was very hooked by the WH titles though. But this seems interesting enough to give a historical title another go! Thx for the insight!🙂

If I could give you a million likes I would ty for this I really got it

[zamuro]

The bonuses here are way better than the current version of the game, guess they were OP

[alarminglyfastmovingskelet]

Are the effects from the stats different in Records mode? I know in Records mode Resolve just increases the size of your General's Bodyguard in lieu of health/armor increase but I had no idea Romance mode had stats that decreased unit upkeeps.

[ravenshadow]

excuse me i am new how do i change my UI like your 4:26 i wanna see my units and the food yellow bar and those small white line with number that i have no idea what is that can i let me know thank you

[tomaxtk]

Great video! I enjoy every one of your videos and hope you continue to make more. However, the Wu Xing diagram is upside down, isn't it? Shouldn't one of the points always point up? Anyhow great video!

[CoBxSTaCkzZ]

Some units like the pearl dragons have spear wall formation, how do you get them to do it? Only one of my armies can use the turtle formations and spear walls and idk why my others can’t.

[iceee]

They seem to have changed the stats effects or my game isnt displaying them all

[minerdalta]

4:40 look! no blood! you know what this means bois... blood and gore dlc for three kingdoms yay!

[kanandanath]

But does the Military stats play any significant part of a hero? I see some of the hero Melee Power drops to 5 (with grey out bar).

[klinktastic]

So it looks like army sizes are very small and specialized, so you will frequently bring multiples armies to battle to cover all the battlefield roles. Is that interpretation fair?

[tankjr]

Is it possible that a character can change colors if a secondary stat overcomes a primary stat?

My gf forced me to play as Liu Bei (her idol) I played Cao Cao and mae him my best friend :D
