It even showed you the exact mathematical value of every diplo agreement, so you knew exactly what the ai would agree to, instead of having to guess and be refused 20 times.

Ok but it sucked.

Hyenas happened OP, 130 millions of USD$ burned overnight on a stilborn proto-Concord simply cannot be recouped in just a single year you know.

This is bad. Transparency makes it so you just squeeze them for every shekel every time rather than try to propose a deal that you think they'll agree with (and if it fails they'll snub you for the rest of that turn and in some old-school strategy games they even get pissed for longer). People talk a lot of shit about diplomacy in RTW and Med2 but the unpredictability is preferrable to whatever the hell is going on with nu-TW. Forever-alliances remove such a big part of these types of games.

Three kingdoms is hands down the greatest historical Total war. I still play it to this day and have stopped playing other Total War games. Too bad CA is filled with a bunch of Jews who want to drop all historical titles and just keep releasing Warhammer content for reddit man-children but are too ashamed to say it. There's even Romance mode for retards who want to play a hack and slash game instead of a tactical war game.

>Explain this
Some1 with high position come to office with hangover and said "abandon this" when had to think about ways to increase dlc sales.

>>2425472 (OP)
unlike wesnoth fans, TW fans love rng

>>2425472 (OP)
basically
>make a DLC nobody asked for and everyone hated
>"ok no more updates for you ungrateful fucks"

It's one of my favorite games, but I can't stand the early game just because how boring the units are. Every single unit up until like turn 20 is just a dude with pajamas and a small leather chest plate. I love the characters and story though (I've read the book)

>>2425472 (OP)
The game is finished. Play it or don't. Not every game needs to be Fortnite.

Playing as Yuan Shao for the first time, and his Captain Retinue mechanic is so cool. I've always wanted to upgrade each of my units individually for different specialties, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I'm having a blast playing him. Which faction mechanic do you enjoy the most?

>>2425923
Holy crap shut up
You would learn the numbers after 100's of hours so they might as well make it accessible
You know, gamey
I don't want to fuck around being rejected for 50 fucking in-game years

That's how I feel about Shogun 2

>>2427347
Cao Caos diplo shenanigans, even more because of his rice abundance, so he can easily buy provinces off his allies and incite proxy wars against his enemies, before he eats them both.

>>2425472 (OP)
I'm surprised there isn't a Three Kingdoms 2 considered how chinks like 3k.

>>2427253
>using dudes
>not using all fire catapults all the time

CA managed to piss off the chinks after 3K got released with their retarded mod policy and some publisher drama, which I totally forgot the details.

>>2428349
Shitty DLC of periods that no chinks ever wanted to play(it hurts their feelings or something)

>>2428353
also the period is AFTER the three kingdoms so there's no reason for it to exist, let alone be one of the first DLC's.
It's basically like if there was a game about the revolutionary war and then it got DLC for the civil war.

>>2428348
That's why i said not until turn ~20 nigger. Kong Rong crossbow spam is better anyway.

>>2425933
Romance mode is so shit. Cao Cao can beat Lu Bu in a 1v1. For the sub humans who don't know these people, Cao Cao is a strategist and Lu Bu was the most skilled warrior in all of China.

>>2428450
skill issue

>>2428357
I think it would make a decent DLC as the last DLC, not the first, since it brings a grim closure to the 3 kingdoms struggle. Too bad CA totally shat the bed with 3K.

>>2428683
Yeah that could've worked, It's just the prime example of how CA had no real plan or knowledge of what fans of 3K wanted at the start lol.

>>2427347
Definitely loved playing as the Ma family the most. Ma Teng giving ALL cavalry a flat 15 bonus damage and the faction coming with unique horse archers meant I was completely unbeatable.
