Again, this is a great mechanic that adds variability and depth to the game. There are also unattached wandering generals who will wander through your provinces looking for work. Additionally, generals now interact with one another so some of your generals will like or dislike other generals dependent on their personality stats, which really adds some character and complexity to the game since an unhappy general may leave or start a rebellion. There is much more variability in province building in TW3K, which is a very welcome addition and makes the game much more interesting. The regions also use a color-coded system for ease as well so you don't follow the same simple pattern of prior TW games where every province was nearly identical with its build-out - #1) Build farm, #2) build up town, #3) build squalor reducing building, #4) repeat. For instance, when you build-out a town or city you now should look at the entire province (called commanderies) in order to maximize gains since the regions all work together. Also, the campaign has much, much, much greater depth than any other TW game. For instance, Blue background colored Generals pair best (due to their buffs) with Blue background colored units.

They have artfully used a color scheme to help gamers easily identify what items pair best together. Although the game is deep, CA did an excellent job with the campaign UI to make it so the game isn't excruciatingly confusing or just a boring list of stats. Second, this game has exceptional depth, which translates not only into intriguing game-play but also an exceptional amount of re-playability. Let me explain why this is the best, first off and most critically, the game is very stable, it actually works after you download it which means CA didn't force the development team to birth an unfinished Turd into the world just because some executive wrote a date on the calendar with the word RELEASE on it (several prior TW titles had this problem), so THANK YOU CA. this is by far the best total war game CA has ever made (IMHO), and I've played all of them, with the exception of the first shogun game. I'll start I've been playing TW3Kingdoms for the past two days straight since its release, and I figured I'd let people know what I've found.
