Total War: Three Kingdoms 2019

Is it still worth playing?

Creative Assembly's 2019 turn based strategy and real time tactics game, the twelfth mainline Total War, set at the end of the Han dynasty and into the Three Kingdoms era, from 189 to 280. You lead one faction, eliminating or vassalizing the others to gain the prestige to declare yourself Emperor. The two other Emperors, led by warlords such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, have to be beaten too. Units are grouped into retinues, each led by a powerful general. In a battle you deploy up to three generals with three in reserve, and you have only the units those generals can recruit. Generals can duel one on one, and they form social connections through guanxi, with personalities and desires you have to cater to. Since the generals decide which units you have, who you bring still matters as much as your orders.
