#Total war three kingdoms trailer mods#

I have worked on games so I know that having enemies that actively tries to deny your strength could create interesting interplay dynamics (especially after you start to kill them and your reputation as a deadly swordsman develops.) I hope there will be enough different kind of enemies to not be a procession of ragdolls waiting to be sliced like a feudal version of Metal Gear Revengeance. And even from a game player- game design's perspective they still could have done something interesting. To have them just rush in and fight the samurai on his own terms is kind of convinient for me. The Mongols were some of the best archers in the world and during all phase of the invasion they should have many impressed Chinese and Korean spearmen with spear and wooden shields but none of that was seen. The most alarming thing I noticed is how the Mongols soldiers just drew their sword and rushed towards the main character without having any of them firing a single shot. Some might call it a nitpick but compared to what I saw in the first trailer, the E3 trailer lowered my expectations in terms of historical accuracy.

The swords should have a tassel on their end. Even as early as the founding of the Ashikaga Shogunate most of the samurais were still mounted warriors. Namely the samurai fights way too much like an infantry swordsman rather than what they still were during the Kamakura Shogunate and the Hojo recency- elites heavy mounted archers.

But the recent E3 one.chipped away my enthusiasm somewhat. The first trailer had mostly accurate samurai armor and Mongol armor and I was super stoked.

Plus- for the armor and aesthetics, so long as there is a robust modding options out there I'm pretty sure there would be a variety of mods that would satisfy even the most discriminatory of question Henrique, I've actually actively followed that game ever since it was announced, I also really love the concept art the game had. They would commit to polish it rather than rush works out. I loved the idea of a Classic Mode while keeping a Romanced Mode, I have wanted an option for both and it seemed they read my mine. Still, I'm both hopeful and patient with all the changes they have made so far. Even games that tried to be very period accurate about the Han armor- like Tiger Knight, still had units that looked like they were from the Qin and Tang periods.ДЄ slightly bigger one came from what I saw was a counter weight tribuchet during the siege rather than traction tribuchet- counter weight tribuchets were not native to China but brought in from Persia during the Mongol invasions of Song in the 13th century, while traction ones were invented natively and used by Cao Cao. Speaking of styles, I mean most of China's depiction of the 3 Kingdoms period from the 50s-90s had them look like they were from the Song and Ming period, so Japan was just influenced by that. But I'd gotta say, just this trailer alone makes me so much happier than the first trailer, they did a lot of research with the aesthetics, the way Cao Cao's camp looked, the way Yuan Shao's armor looked, Cao Cao's Eastern Han courtier design, and how cities looked gave me tremendous hope. I noticed both armors that strongly reminisced of Qin and Tang influences, Cao Cao had a lieutenant that looked like he had Qin officer's armor, and Xiahou Dun was wearing Tang era armor and from the first trailer Dong Zhou was wearing Song era heavy cavalry armor. Yeah, there are minor issues but I think they were for stylistic distinctions.
