    I have been waiting for this for like 20 years. The spring release feels a bit rushed. I have read the Chinese book (most popular version) multiple times. Hopefully they will make a good game.

    Member thankful for this post:

    It will be released in autumn, not spring. I think you are confused with the Thrones of Britannia, whose release date is indeed scheduled in spring.

    That being said, I agree with your observation. One former CA employee said that 3K existed only on paper a couple of months ago.

    Add to that that the normal circle between announcement and release is slightly more than one year (Rome II: July '12 - September '13, Warhammer I: March 2015 - May 2016), so I'm a bit skeptical too.

    It was released in 2000 - STW - so indeed, it's been quite some time.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Greetings all,

    has been some time, hope all are well :)

    I would just like to say that I am very very excited about this Title. It has been so many years I remember since Even the first Shogun TW that such an Era has been discussed and requested in these very forums. And finally it is being done :)

    And it will be awesome.

    I am currently playing Warhammer (Oh yes I love the Fantasy Universe of Warhammer having played the Tabletop collected the Games Workshop Miniatures etc) and I find it really Fun.

    But I can already picture Three Kingdoms with that Engine! It will just be awesome!

    Can't wait for it :)

    Cheers!

    Good to see old faces around here

    On the topic of the thread, we can probably expect some more detailed info in March. The game is up for release at the end of this year, per Steam.

    I am excited for the setting but am very worried about the very inaccurate trailer. You had exciting and new forms of warfare in this timeperiod in this part of the world, but the trailer decided to go with stereotypical "idiots running out of formation with nothing but one handed swords/short spears."

    Over half the weapons used during this timeperiod were crossbows, pikes, halberds, long polearms, etc...but in the trailer you basically see nobody with crossbows/pikes/halberds except 2 heroes fighting on foot with really short polearms...
