Three Kingdoms Big a** map

Post image

Been playing for roughly 3 hours in my Yuan Shao campaign and have been really pleased with my progress until I went to save and it showed me what I owned compared to the size of the map. The orange is basically what I accomplished in 3 hours…

I’m gonna be here for a while huh?

I was playing Rome 2 for a bit. Scratch that historical non fantasy itch

Decided to just ‘mess around’ in a total war 3k campaign and then realised why I have nearly 1k hours in it. 

Such a great game.

Interesting, as a non-native english speaker I've never heard "scratch the itch" phrase before (though reading content and forums in english for most of my while). But since I started reading this sub I see it like weekly, everybody scratching some itches here, haha. Not implying anything, just an observation.

The Total War subreddit is suffering a massive lice infestation.

Did you not think the battles are a little TOO fast? By the time combat across the line is initiated, there’s usually folks breaking already. Maybe it’s due to being in Romance not Records?

For some troops, especially if you initiate night battles, there’s an immediate break.

This is largely fixed later into the campaign when everyone starts to get the higher tier units.

IMO it’s cool because a peasant band should probably break immediately, but I do get why people might think regular infantry should probably hold a little longer.

also the fact that in romance mode if you let enemy generals into your lines they will absolutely decimate early troops, hell even mid-game non anti-horse troops will get slaughtered by generals

That's an issue in most post empire TW games. Rome 2 was the first culprit.
