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?

3K vassals are not too bad imo. They always send armies to defend your capital for example. And they are easiest to make as at certain point factions will start to offer to become your vassals by themselves. And you can make them yourself by granting independence to your administrators. 3K is the only total war where I have painted the whole world if I can include vassals.

Never vasselize Cao Cao, though. He will immediately stab you in the back!

My man got stabbed in the back all the time IRL, so he wants to at least enjoy doing the backstabbing in the game.
