Matt Morgans Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi everyone! Earlier this year, I wrote a whole series of in-depth character & lore articles about the historical figures featuring in Total War: Three Kingdoms. When the release date was delayed, that series ended up stopping as other things took priority. Now, with one week to go before release, I'm resurrecting it, and I'll be writing a new one every single day until release! The first up in this week-long deep-dive into Three Kingdoms lore is Sima Yi, the nemesis of Zhuge Liang whose sons would go on to end the Three Kingdoms era! https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-sima-yi-strategist/ If you want to know more about the characters in Three Kingdoms, look below for all the series entries so far! I'll be adding each new article to this comment thread when it goes up throughout this week, so stay tuned! Plus, keep an eye on the VGR YouTube channel tomorrow... something a bit different from our usual podcast fare is on its way! 😉 Cao Cao - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-cao-cao/ Dian Wei - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-dian-wei/ Dong Zhuo - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-dong-zhuo/ Gongsun Zan - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-gongsun-zan/ Guan Yu - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-guan-yu/ Huang Zhong - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-huang-zhong/ Liu Bei - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-liu-bei/ Liu Biao - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-liu-biao/ Liu Zhang - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-liu-zhang/ Lu Bu - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-lu-bu/ Ma Teng - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-ma-teng/ Kong Rong - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-kong-rong/ Sun Jian - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-sun-jian/ Yuan Shao - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-yuan-shao/ Yuan Shu - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-yuan-shu/ Zhang Yan - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-zhang-yan/ Zheng Jiang - https://www.vgr.com/total-war-three-kingdoms-heroes-zheng-jiang/ kingpotato and DC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
