And you really do get a sense when playing this epic campaign. Liu Chong is like the Ned Stark of China, of the Han Dynasty to be precise. You have access to siege towers and stakes! Some of the glorious visuals you’ll get to see when besieging cities in Three Kingdoms. If there was a way to compare Cao Cao, he is your Napoleon Bonaparte of China. But he was killed by Yuan Shao, an ruthless and ambitious warlord that would years later fall at the hands of Cao Cao, one of China’s most cunning warlords to date. Liu Chong was one of the last remaining princes that could have prevented the fall of the Han Empire at a time when the Yellow Turban Rebellion had occured. The attention to historical detail is a fantastic detail, you will find many events telling you of all the historical events that happened during the fall of the Han Empire. It is vital you complete the early missions first. The more fame you have, the better it is for you. Liu Chong is a very popular and respected solider of the Empire, and thus with more victories you will get more fame. This allows you to force the AI in diplomacy to give you food and gold for ancillaries. As Liu Chong, you’ll have missions to do, and you must gain ancillaries fighting in battles.
