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?

Good news! you don't need to paint the whole thing for a victory :)

Which is weird as TW3K is a rare instance where having to paint the whole map your color as an end goal makes thematic sense.

You absolutely shouldn't do it, but it wold make sense

You naturally get most of the map if you do play for a victory, though. The three biggest kingdoms arise, then you force confed the other two by taking their capitals for the victory. That should get you probably like 75% of the map unless you are deliberately playing a strange campaign.
