Part one : Rise of a new lord
The Han Dynasty has been weakened by the internal conflict and with no real ruler around, it's your turn as a warlord to conquer all of China (You just have to conquer 90% to win)
First you need to select a warlord. I will give you 4 of the easiest to choose from even though there are 12 possible ones
Cao Cao The Strategic Mastermind
Liu Bei The Virtuous Idealist
Gongsun Zan The Iron Fist General
Sun Jian The Tiger Of Jiangdong

I will be making a sub section for all this but for now, we have to start it first. The image show you everything you need to know like the generals / characters following the warlord. Everyone except Gongsun Zan has 2+ side character while Gongsun Zan only has Zhao Yun but Zhao Yun could be considered one of the top 5 strongest fighter so choose wisely.
So far I have only played Liu Bei and played around 3 campaign and my farthest one got around 40-50% of China Conquered
