Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

Will there be Northern Nomads and Korea?
At least Xiongnu Xianbei and Goguryeo should be added for variety. Maybe some players don't like but Total War Franchise is a symbol of Variety and diverse factions. for example Desert Kingdoms in RT2 are not that important with Roman history but filling the map with many factions in the game is always happy to be seen

I hope so. The nanman factions are an amazing addition to the game.

yes, since currently Korean Peninsular revealed with detailed map in game in far eastern part of the game map, so maybe CA is making Northern DLC now

Still missing North West China, might as well as Persia in the future.

CA has said their next expansion is in the north. Likely the Xianbei, Wuhuan, maybe Korea (they might save that for a third expansion though), probably flesh out the Qiang, maybe the Xiong'nu as well. The Xi Xia would be really cool.

This game background is on Three Kingdoms period. The nothern nomads was in romance of three kingdoms. But it's not Korea. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I think Korea and Japan doesn't exist at this period.

Please, stay with romance of three kingdoms. This is not Total war: Korea or Shogun 3. There should be better title for Total war: Korea. I think there is 3 kingdom in Korea. But I don't know much about this period. It's probably few hundreds years after three kingdoms in China. That could be good future total war title as well.

I would like to see Total war: Mongol empire. This title is going to cover much different nation. There should be better variety of army unit, building and culture from Japan to Hungary and India to Russia. The Mongolian has the largest empire in history. It's going to take few years with massive map, culture and building for CA. I love to see the power of Mongolian horse archers in action.

There’s going to be a chapter pack next, but after that is an expansion, likely about the northern tribes

I’m fairly foggy on the details of how things went down, but you’re quite very wrong.

The 3K of Korea occurred at around the same time the game takes place and intersects with the 3K of China as, I believe, a Warlord forces Korea into submission and Cao Cao in turn fights him after the battle of Chi Bi to consolidate his power in the north

Yeah, you better read up on east asian history, because nothing you said about Japan and Korea is correct.

The first contact between the chinese and the japanese (Wa at the time) happened in 108 BC. By 240, which is in the first half of the 3K period, one big kingdom won supremacy over the smaller kingdoms in Japan.

During the complete chinese three kingdoms period Korea was also in it's three kingdoms period. So yeah, they could fit multiple korean factions into an expansion for every available start date.

Wa only had dominance over Kyushu at this point, and from the archaeological record seem to have had some hegemonic control over southwest Honshu and possibly Shikoku. They definitely didn't have supremacy over all Japan, or even central Japan yet, most likely.

If I remember my Korean history correctly (I don't know it very well) there were four kingdoms in Korea at the time, but the Gaya might not have solidified yet by that point. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goguryeo%E2%80%93Wei_War#/media/File:History_of_Korea-204.png Shows Ye and Mahan, but I don't know anything about them. I don't think the Korean Three Kingdoms period (where there are really just 3 major power players) really starts until a little bit later, it is just that the three kingdoms that would become the titular Three Kingdoms already exist.

Yeah, that was my mistake. The kingdom had supremacy over the other kingdoms of Wa.

As far as I know Gaya and Mahan weren't kingdoms but confederacies of villages/city states. The city states of Gaya had monarchs though.

Dongye was a chiefdom and vassal of Goguryeo.

There is indeed a fourth kingdom in Korea during the 3K period and that is Buyeo. They were a Han vassal.

Well yeah, they weren't kingdoms as in having a king, just singular polities with a nominal head based on whoever was the biggest man on campus at the time. Very similar to the Greek Leagues, or Italian Leagues or Republics. Just simplifying it, kinda like we do with the "Athenian Empire".

Thank you for correction.

I could be wrong since I don't know much about that. But It's better on another total war title ie Total war: Goguryeo.

Total war: Mongol Empire could cover Korea, Japan, India, Russia and so on. The Mongol empire owned the largest land in history. Mongolian horse archers always fought larger army. That'd be great for another flagship of total war. I don't think it's good idea to bring any period of China. Then it's called Total war: China, not Three Kingdoms.

Attila had DLC that had nothing to do with Attila, including one 300+ years later. Rome has Wrath of Sparta which didn't even have Italy in it.
