TOTAL WAR THREE KINGDOMS CAO CAO UPDATE
As we were adding Lady Zhen, we figured it was a good time to update Cao Pi (Cao Cao’s heir) with new unique art and stats too. Cao Ren has been one of the top requested characters for addition, and Fates Divided was the perfect time to include him. We also added Cao Ren and Yu Jin for Cao Cao. Different characters are available for him in each start date, but they’re all present in 200 CE – whether within Yuan Shao’s faction, or as one of his vassals. Yuan Shao’s a prominent figure in most of our chapters – and traditionally performs very well when controlled by the AI – so fleshing out his roster was a big priority for us. The fearsome duo of Wen Chou and Yan Liang have been added for Yuan Shao, as well as Zhang He, Lady Zhen, Yuan Tan, and Yuan Shang. This has been on the wish list for many players, so it’s great to expand his presence in this manner. While he’s not initially a character on the map, it’s now possible to restore the Han Empire and reinstate him as the rightful ruler. This means he has new unique character art, and a new skill tree that better fits a non-deployable character.

We wanted the emperor (Liu Xie) to play a bigger role in this campaign, so we gave him the full main character treatment. The emperor has also come of age by this date, which means he gets to play a more prominent role in the narrative.ĬA: What new characters will Fates Divided introduce? This means we’ve got wars brewing on multiple fronts, and players can’t necessarily send all their armies together in a single doomstack. Cao Cao’s secured more than 30 regions, and many other warlords have over a dozen regions. Unlike our other Chapter Packs, we’ve got some big factions from the first turn. Lü Bu’s train of betrayal has finally been halted, and Sun Ce’s been rapidly uniting the southlands. Liu Bei’s been fighting against anyone he sees as a tyrant – which, unfortunately, seems to be mostly everyone. Yuan Shao seized control of the north, then turned around to march on his childhood friend.
Cao Cao has taken control of the emperor, relocated him to his capital in Xuchang, and has unified most of central China. We also overhauled some of the existing campaign features, such as the faction council.ĬA: What was happening in the Three Kingdoms in 200 CE (the new Fates Divided start date)?Ĭraig Kirby: All the tension that was building up over the last decade has finally reached a tipping point, and huge wars are breaking out across most of China.

The free patch alongside Fates Divided adds new unique art for a bunch of characters, new faction mechanics for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and shiny new campaign mechanics for all Han Chinese factions. The DLC adds 200 CE as a new playable start date, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang as a new playable faction, and over 20 new units. Running to the south like a craven from the center of power is only for the weak.With the release of Total War: THREE KINGDOMS – Fates Divided shimmering on the horizon, what better time to sit down and chat with senior designer Craig Kirby about the new DLC’s story, characters, mechanics, and more – check it all out below!ĬA: Hi there! First of all, could you please introduce yourself?Ĭraig Kirby: Hello! I’m Craig Kirby, senior designer on the Total War: THREE KINGDOMS team, and the design lead for patch 1.7.0 and Fates Divided.Ĭraig Kirby: Fates Divided is the new Chapter Pack for Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, showcasing the conflict between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in 200 CE. Works on legendary difficulty to set up a really fun mid game for the eventual showdown with Sun Jian and whoever comes out the top dog in the North. Don't be afraid to sign non-agression pacts with some of the other minor warlords to the immediate north and northeast and betray them when the time is right. Be prepared for all-out wars and betrayal the first 30-40 or so turns. This will allow you to follow the story and kill Tao Qian and eventually retake the old capital of Luo Ang. Proxy war sun Jian against Liu Biao and yuan shu and eventually get in a coalition with Liu Bei.
Expand to the east aiming to take Guanling and the Tradeport which will give you access to trade with the rest of the world. Spec into military infrastructure and aiming for the 10% replenishment increase and building the added garrison in all your commanderies. Going south immediately is the coward's way.
