I became very enamored with this time period even before any games for it came out, when a friend from college (Who was ethnically Chinese) jokingly bantered back and forth with me about who had the more interesting periods in history, the west or the east....And he loaned me this 2-volume set of Luo Guangzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Records of the Three Kingdoms" WAY back in the mid-80s.... The names were a stumbling block in the beginning, but as most fans of these franchises know, that passes quickly. I was spellbound, and I think the fictional novel really helps with that by humanizing the records. We finally agreed on a draw haha. But I remember how difficult it was to find fellow westerners who knew anything about the three kingdoms because I loved to discuss it when I could. That all changed when the games came around and introduced many to the time period. I also think the Liu Bang/Xiang Yu saga of the founding of the Han is incredibly interesting as well. I hope media covering those comes westward eventually. Xiang Yu, for those who don't know, makes Lu Bu look like a poodle. A real badass.
The challenge has ramped up considerably. I suspect these are pre-recorded, but in this situation, I would weigh splitting off some of my best generals to have a second core fighting force vs. keeping the one undefeated force with all the best generals in place and just accepting that the coalition will take back some land until it expires. I like that things are more difficult and you have to use all your wits and resources to pull off those defensive victories, making for a fun endgame for this great campaign. I suspect after the coalition ends, it will be easier to hit the target 20 provinces, but might lose a couple more before that happens.
You could have Lu Bu in one army and Sun Ce in another, splitting the strategists and armies two ways. At this rate, you should consider just crushing the coalition and Cao Cao with it. Kinda need to break their spirits before calling it a campaign, if not it'll be a bit of a rough end.
Such a vast difference in the 1st coalition than with the 2nd one. I still feel you need to shift some of the higher ranked officers with higher troop count that you dont really use or need its cool having a stack 60 officers but really max you can take on the battle field is 30 but they all dont fight. This is just for defensive Purposes though.
The 2nd coalition somehow get bigger tech is weird.. i mean how the heck Gongsun Zan got Nomandic Cavalry with only 2 Commanderies... But yeah probably for Gameplay reason...

Serious trivia: the coalition ain’t really much trouble
The coalition : and we took that personally
The 2nd coalition sends their regards 😂
Any Coalition having Cao Cao microing them is a deadly alliance

Man, that coalition is really causing issues here. I remember I used to get so mad when I was a kid when I'd get ganged up on like that lol
Where did the reinforcements come from at 17:35? They just emerged from the mountains!

I believe he might start with that just like how we start with max level ships
@@mayuzumip6526 gongsuzan faction just like lubu and mateng starts with maxed out cav
i see, i never play with likes gongsun or sun ce who have max level regardless tech so this is new for me
