The end of the Han Dynasty/Three Kingdom era also involved a lot of diverse geographies and factions - attacks by Korean kingdoms against the Han Dynasty commanderies/military colonies in the Korean peninsula, resurgence of northern nomads, attacks by Central Asian & Silk Road kingdoms against the Han Dynasty's Western cities, attacks in the southwest by Qiang and proto-Tibetan tribes, and attacks in the south by Sino-Vietnamese & SE Asian kingdoms. You could see some interesting new styles of warfare if they went the historical route. Then you can have war elephants, camel cavalry, jungle & mountain warriors, etc for other factions.Ĭrossbows, pikes, halberds, and long polearms were used in Pike & Shot-esque formations. I'd prefer they base it more on history because then we'll see FAR more interesting unit variations - for the core Han Dynasty factions, you'd have crossbow cavalary, horse archers, heavy cavalry, command post chariots, armored chariots with crossbows, halberd formations, pike formations, sword & shield, two-handed swords & polearms, spearmen, crossbow volley firing lines, pike & shot formations with crossbow-pike squares, etc. If they base this on the Dynasty Warriors video games, it'll be a good chunk of fantasy.
If they base this on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, it'll be history with some fantasy. If they base this on the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and archeology, it'll be history. It didn't show any crossbows, halberd, or pike formations (very common historical weapons of this era). So far in the trailer, it showed mostly hero vs hero duels. Just curious if it's going to be more historical like Rome2/Attila/etc or more fantasy like Warhammer TW.
