Chapter pack early in the year followed by an expansion mid/lateish in the year before TWW3 eventually takes all the air out of the room would be my best guess.

He's not no, most of the later characters aren't in the game iirc. I think the chapter pack will be Yuan Shao as he's really missing some things. Add in the next MTU expansion whenever that's done and that's a good 10-12 new characters for me to come back to.

I really hate the randomly generated officers and how they're indistinguishable from actual ones. there are literally hundreds of named people from that era why you gotta show off how boring your generic officers are by not even using real names

I think the most glaring absence so far is Cao Pi.

They're getting better about filling these out but it's still annoying to see a gold name and go "is this guy legendary because he's actually unique or just because he happened to level up enough to get a stat over 100?" Like I can understand why they don't have unique portraits for all thousand different historical people, but it would be nice if they at least had a compromise where historical characters had their own set of generic portraits, distinct from the randomly generated officers.

They should have some kind of symbol or whatever denoting an actually unique guy. It can be hard to keep track if you use a lot of mods that give you better portraits for generics.

Most have an actual background if you hover over their name on the character detail page, that's a good way to tell. If their background is something more unique than "Bandit" or "Preacher" then they are a 'real historical' character, even if they have a generic portrait. There used to be a sweet mod that added a wikipedia style button to characters that showed their historical biography, but it hasn't been updated and no longer works. That said the mods that replace generic portraits for unique characters have really come a long way. Wu Kingdaissance adds like 500+ new characters (some new art for existing and some wholly new) at the expense of the art style veering a little out there, it also adds a billion new items and skills. They even have a ton of new 3d models for characters in battle. Wu Kingdaissance is basically the base game gone total ape poo poo, which some people might like after playing the game for hundreds of hours. Make Them Unique(~30 arts and models) combined with Puzzle 1.6 (250+ new arts) for around 350+ new arts, so lower in total count, but the quality is much higher. It has a more vanilla feel in terms of not creating SSJ goku 300x style items and weapons, but it does have some weirdly horny events for concubines. I maintain a shadow Make Them Unique version that keeps the new characters + art and compatibility with Puzzle 1.6 but gets rid of the weird concubine system. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2236846405

Is this where people post about 3K? I just started playing and I am curious if anyone is aware of a mod or a way to force the AI to accept terms? I'm playing as Gongsun Zan and some rear end in a top hat in south China marched up through like 8 warlords' territories to take a minor settlement from the Han right next to me. Its stupid and I want to fix it by cheating rather than fight an eternal hellwar against some stupid stubborn AI on the other side of the planet. Otherwise I dont want to cheat but this is stupid and rather than abandon yet another campaign because of some stupid Total War bullcrap I'd like to fix it.

Just take the province, chances are that guy becomes someone's vassal before he even marches back across the map to fight you.

There's also a mod that fucks about with the AI so they prioritise territory near them and not across the map. That would help prevent that situation.

Also 3K has actually functional diplomacy. The AI is perfectly willing to take peace offers in 3K, though obviously situation dependent.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:He's listed as rich, owner of 4 commanderies, and more powerful than I am (I just have one high quality army) so I'm worried he'll just swamp me with armies. 3k diplomacy is pretty straightforward. You just get the values to equal out and it's very easy to cheese if you have lots of food. You could literally bankrupt starving factions by just giving them like 4 food for 10 turns. This also has the bonus of them not attacking you when you're supplying them food.

Just started playing this. Is it possible to somehow list all units in a battle next to each other rather than separated by retinue? I don't wanna click together 6 infantry units spread over 3 retinues to make my frontline, I wanna shift click at the start and end of my infantry units. Or am I supposed to have one entire retinue dedicated to one unit type?

There's an option for that in the UI settings, like Group Unit Cards or something. Same place where you switch the card art.

GrossMurpel posted:Cool, thanks. Still wondering though, is the game built around you just handling each general and their retinue as one unit? In battles there isn't really any proximity based buffs that are tied to retinue. I think all the conditional 'own retinue' buffs for skills and stats apply no mater the proximity, so you could have the general running around by himself and his retinue troops grouped with another general and everything would be all good. Personally I keep my general and units sort of grouped together but that's just thematic and a way to give myself a handicap to help the battle AI. Outside of battles the game is really built around the general + retinues tied to them, with how generals can only recruit specific units and you can't trade units between different generals.

Yeah battles is what I was talking about. I also like that there's a mechanic in battle that lets you beat the enemy general right at the start so it's easy to rout the other army.

Been playing The Rule of Might for Three Kingdoms, it does some interesting things for the campaign by changing a lot of recruitment poo poo. Artillery's hidden deep in the tech tree, and you can level up generals sometimes to get units outside of their colour. Helps a lot with variety too!

I think three kingdoms is worth half price, yeah. DLCs are a little more complicated, they're mostly more new campaigns than things that directly change the normal gameplay itself. I would say furious wild is probably the most interesting of the DLCs (and also the most expensive and the least on sale) and 8 princes is probably the worst.

Can anyone point me to a good resource on learning about and dealing with Corruption? I'm already releasing the occasional vassal and building as many corruption-reducing buildings as possible, so I'm looking for more advanced math kinda stuff. For example I am curious if you gain corruption per-whole Commandery, per Settlement, or something in-between; I am asking because I'm not sure if I would want to spin some provincial capitals off but keep the farms, then trade food to the vassals for more cash.Mr Luxury Yacht posted:So Three Kingdoms is 50% off.

I don’t like the Nanman factions much so I would recommend A World Betrayed, Lu Bu and Sun Ce get some interesting campaigns there. Eight Princes is probably the weakest, although I’ve heard Mandate is still kind of buggy.

Finally bought 3K, there's any consensus about which mode is the best? I like how Romance sounds but Records seems way more balanced.

Give romance a try first cause it has all the abilities and stuff, but then I prefer records because the super heavy cavalry it replaces the combat generals with is the strongest unit in a TW game

If you're coming at this with any knowledge of something like dynasty warriors romance is closer to what you're probably gonna be expecting. Records is closer to a traditional total war game though

I like Romance since 3k is based pretty heavily on R3TK, but generals can get pretty absurdly busted in that mode. Records is definitely a lot more traditional.
