Records mode, then, is a bit more considered, as you're not packing a human-shaped WMD, and requires a lot more unit management. Sure, you've still got to give all of your troops their orders, getting them in position and sending them in to tackle the right enemy at the right time, but really they're just distractions, locking down enemy warriors so they don't notice the spear-twirling maniac rushing up behind them. As much as I'm obviously happy with the changes, it does move the focus away from commanding units to commanding heroes. The appeal, however, is still understandable.

Total War: Three Kingdoms bends history more than most of the series, letting you hurl legendary warlords into battles where they can single-handedly wipe out entire units. Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is the next major Total War historical game and is set in the titular period of ancient China.
