The editors didn't like
AI cannot seem to handle the new systems within the game
Diplomacy is still a little stupid and is particularly worse in the case of the Yellow Turbans where you can only open ties with fellow Turbans (which technically you're the leader of)
The nature of the narrative can often pigeon-hole you into military conflicts
Tutorial feels like an overwhelming crash course in the game's systems
Lots of units
But many are fairly similar
Diplomacy can be a tiny bit overwhelming at times
Real-time battle AI still needs improvement
High PC hardware requirements
AI is still a little stupid and easy to manage
Particularly in diplomacy
The espionage system isn't very well explained in at least how to get it started
Slight technical issues in prolonged game sessions
Amount of aspects to manage can be too much for some

Total War: Three Kingdoms is as close to flawless as you'll find, with a fantastic balance of 4X strategy and character-focused development and emergent storytelling. The battles are frantic, with increased tactical opportunities through duelling. City de...
