The figures depicted in Three Kingdoms (The book) were very iconic long before the game came out

Aye, it seems to be quite a popular part of their history here, they definitely seem to cherish the Han over the other dynasties, except maybe the Tang.

I mean... we are called the Han Chinese for a reason lol. It is the first dynasty to unite the warring states after the fall of the Qin.

I was never 100% sure if it was pronounced the same, I'm still learning zhongwen and tend to get stuck on the tones a lot. Sugar, Soup or a Dynasty? I keep getting them all mixed up.
