A question for CA: are you guys planning any more unique characters for upcoming patches? Some campaigns have a serious lack of unique characters. For example, Dong Zhuo is a pretty big player on the scene of Three Kingdoms, and yet some of the most noteworth characters in his factions are just generic characters. It's good that Li Jue became a unique general, but Guo Si, Dong Peishan, Dong Min and maybe Li Ru along with Niu Fu also should be unique, and he should be married to Dong Li, who should be older, like she actually was. Cao Cao gets tons of unique characters, and Dong Zhuo doesn't get nearly as many. Not fair

Same for Yuan Shu - his wife and daughter deserve a unique character status. Any chance we could get them in a future expansion? Also, what time period would the new expansion be? I think we need a proper Three Kingdoms time period, with smaller factions destroyed, and Cao Cao's Liu Bei's and Sun Qian's factions battling it out. Cao Cao could be on the verge of death, and Cao Pi should get a unique character status and he should succeed him and take it from there.

That’s your best bet to seeing realistic art for the characters you’re after. CA isn’t likely go back and add a lot of art to characters in factions that aren’t relevant moving past the AWB time period.

My personal collection of hazardous tests and quickfixes (yes this is a link).
Wondering why you get some traits on your characters this may give you a vague idea

0 · Disagree AgreeYuan Shu - I doubt he’s the “focus” of the next DLC. Even if he was, you think he’s going to get a lot of unique characters and art? Aside from Yang Hong, he didn’t have a single character w/ a unique title in his faction until they added Ji Ling.

0 · Disagree AgreeWell he named Yuan Shu, I just opened up the scope a bit more by saying the two brothers since I believe the next Chapter Pack to illustrate the "Fall of the Yuans" (who pretty much fell like dominos after being the perceived as the bigger players)
So a start date with Yuan Shu facing imminent destruction and Yuan Shao/Cao Cao starting their conflict for the nothern plains.

0 · Disagree AgreeTW3K is first of all a character driven game and CA has shown themselves to always be on the backfoot when it comes to fulfilling the promise of the subject matter's rich content and meeting the expectations of the fans. Since the last DLC, while quantity of unique character portraits/designs increased slightly, the quality has suffered. The characters and their art are the heart and soul of this beautiful game. I only hope they remain committed to delivering the best and maintaining the highest of standards for TW3K.

1 · Disagree Agreei hope that CA unites the DLC in a single story and that the player who has all the acquired DLC, can play from 182 and has all the unique characters that appear in historical order, events and mechanics.
we are waiting to see a DLC with the historical children of important generals that they too were and not generalist children and that they are born and appear in history on their historical date, be it by event or other mechanics.
with the time that has passed since the last DLC, the next one should be quite good, which we hope announcing soon and they could also give away with these update patches some unique generals.
there are plenty of unique generals left to implement in the game, and CA has not done something for that yet.
some time ago i made a list with important generals that were missing, here are some.
wen chou.cao ren,yan liang,ling tong,fan chou,cao hong,zhang he,wu lang,pang de,zhang ren,wei yan,yan yan,lei tong.
there are still many, characters, events and history to implement in the game.

0 · Disagree AgreeBecause this game's design is centred around characters, there's even a dedicated UI screen for Characters or Character finder (which at this stage is quite redundant imo), Spy system and the character relations tab.
If CA wants to charge for unique characters. So, be it. Many 3K owners will buy it. Chapter packs on the other hand, is quite meh.
To make chapter packs unique, they probably should include new UI, mechanics, additional changes to objectives, events and so on. The only notable changes to AWB chapter pack were, 2 new playable factions which are not completely new either because they shared the same units. The only difference is the mechanic. In addition, to the changes in the starting post for existing factions. Yea, not sure I will even buy Nanman pack if they put them under bandit category lol, will consider Nanman if it is a sub-culture like YT.
