again, a 3 Kingdoms game without 3 Kingdoms.
It really really stupid if they really made the campaign end at Red Cliff lol.
What are they thinking? Safe?
Lesson from Total War Three Kingdoms is not enough huh?

Total War Three Kindgoms was also widely panned for having a DLC focused on a time period nobody asked for, and the Eight Princes set that game in a downward slope from which it never recovered from.
But at least they didnt have the Eight Princes timewarping into the main game like we have right now.

donât know why and canât understand why they choose Eight Princes haha. This is not a famous event btw.
Instead of giving player the Northern Expedition of Zhuge Liang or something similar, they gave Eight Prince - a period I sure that nobody know if that DLC not appeared
Speaking of the Northern Expedition⊠also not in the AoE DLC 
Yes. Donât know exactly until DLC come out
Actually we do know, it ends in Chibi. The files are pretty clear about what battle is on what level, for example Cao Cao 3 is Guandu.
Yet the DoI campaignsâs banner has a different color. It uss the same blue as the regular Asian one:
That could be a simple coding mistake.
In campaignselection.json, âButtonAsiaâ is indeed used twice, for both Asia and South_Asia.
Itâs worth noticing that the campaign UI has been slightly redesigned, and all the campaign page bookmarks are newly made. So their placement code is written from scratch too.
From any old screenshot, we can see the old South Asia bookmark was orange-colored, though browner than the new (currently unused) oneâs bright orange.
Shame.
I sometime ask mysefl, why people stop reading Romance of Three Kingdom after Red CliffâŠ
Ah, that makes sense.
Well, thereâs still the ânext DLCâ thing mentioned in the Sneak Peak that could either mean they indeed meant TTK or are already working on the next DLC. We have to wait and see.
What does that mean exactly? Does that mean, that the next DLC will focus on South Asia (India)? Or is it East Asia (China) again or even a turn to Southeast Asia?
Maybe you know more about when the next DLC will be released after 3 Kingdoms? This year or early next year?
As the campaign screen has been reworked yet again, they forgot to give the Indian DLCs their proper banner as it currently uses the Asian blue one.
i am pretty sure with next DLC they have mean this one.
because why teasing another one with the current one not even released or had a official overview.

That and at the time the made the statement âthe next dlcâ we didnât know the name of this dlc. How else were they going to refer to this dlc without sounding excessively wordy.
Because thatâs what they more or less did with AoE 4. They released Knights of Cross and Rose and already said there will be a 2nd DLC coming later this year.
I donât think the Chroniclesâ idea was meant to have a bunch of civs to follow the same roster. I think that the whole point of it was to have multiple 3 civ historical campaigns set in specific wars of a particular time period (though preferably in Antiquity) and have the gameplay of those civs be really complementing with one another: Athens, Sparta and Achaemenids for the first Persian Invasion of Greece/Peloponnesian War; Wu, Shu and Wei for the 3 Kingdoms period. Maybe in the future they could do other scenarios: Egyptians, Hittites and Canaanites for the Egyptian-Hittite Wars; Ptolemaics, Seleucids and Antigonids for the Wars of the Diadochi; Romans, Carthaginians and Syracuseans for the Punic Wars, etc.

We could use a Campaign rearrangement tbh now that ghe first DLCs come with the base game. Europe and Prithviraj could get a nice shake up
A world map featuring all campaigns with a zoom could be fun, although very very limiting to make the UI look nice and unique
What civs do you think would be included in a Maccabean Revolt-themed Chronicles DLC, other than the Hebrews and Seleucids of course? Would the Roman Republic be the third civ?

Because the kingdom of Shu had an army of beavers, obviously.
