Total War: THREE KINGDOMS is Now Available for Pre-Purchase on Steam!

Three heroes, sworn to brotherhood in the face of tyranny, rally support for the trials ahead. Scenting opportunity, warlords from China’s great families follow suit, forming a fragile coalition in a bid to challenge Dong Zhuo’s remorseless rule. Will they triumph against the tyrant, or will personal ambition shatter their already crumbling alliance and drive them to supremacy?

We’re releasing a small patch for Total War: ROME II today that contains a couple of minor fixes for the mod community:

+ Issues generating startpos files using BoB should now be resolved
- We should note that you should refrain from naming your database tables using the campaign prefixes (e.g. main_3c for Empire Divided) which will result in the start-pos.esf failing to be created
+ Character limit for UI has been increased to alleviate some of the issues encountered by the Chinese localisation mod
