I started total war by getting 3 kingdoms but I never played it because it couldn't run on my old laptop and was cancerous to attempt on Steam Deck. With a new laptop I got into Warhammer 3 but burned out eventually because I found it hard to learn and my new laptop isn't exactly the best so it got quite hot. Recently I played Shogun 2 though and had a lot of fun. It was also real easy to learn important skills. With these and a laptop fan, I went back to 3 Kingdoms after hearing that its base game is fine alone. Despite only having Intel Iris XE, I can run it at max graphics with no lag, and the game is beautiful. Playing as a little faction in this vast China is very comfy too. The mechanics are really fun, and I am having a good time flanking the enemy and enjoying the cool generals. The diplomacy and city building being complex is also very nice. While the time period means I know I won't get any explosions or anything, there is a sort of nice subtlety to the units that you learn to enjoy as your taste matures. This all has gotten me interested in old Chinese history and Romance of the Three Kingdoms too. It is genuinely enjoyable even this early on and has made me happier than ever. It does sadden me to hear that the company behind these games essentially shit the bed after releasing 3 Kingdoms though. How is the modding scene for this game?
