CA is best i swear until i die u and paradox both will be my favourite 😍

And i loved the dong zhou music too much

The best for the desert ♡

Hey, wasn't Cao Cao's poem about the fractured Coalition? 15 when recruited 80 when retired is literally the previous song!

Please release the Original Dark Elf Trailer Song for Warhammer 2!!!!

despite what some people will say and claim and debate in the end of the day the idea is enough the idead of good kindness justice and the perfect ruler .

Dude was basically a magnet for failure in my opinion.

@@shunyuanliang4397 Yes. Quite interestingly, his original humility caused failures, but got him Zhuge Liang. Then his following success made him and his brothers arrogant, and it caused their downfall.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms (which the game is based off) is fantasy book wrote hundreds of years later by a Han fanboy, apparently Lui Bei was actually an arrogant douchebag, but because he supported the Han he got cast in a good light in the book.

@@EonRifft Well, there is a bit more nuance than that. Liu Bei was by most accounts no better or worse than any other warlord of the era. He betrayed a few people, got betrayed by a few, schemed and fought his way up to the top. He did promote 'traditional' values because of his supposed status (there is dispute whether he was really of the imperial family) and he was known as a leader who listened to his subordinates. Yes his whole 'saint' schtick is made up, but he seemed to have been nice enough in real life.

I was just thinking that!

@@BarneyGoogl And in the case of Across the Ocean (Accolades) it omits the last line.

Really completes the track imo

I'd personally reverse it but both of them go so unnecessarily hard, they did not have to make such bangers and yet they did

Une des meilleures versions du poème de Cao Zhi en effet !

The worst dlc with the best trailer music ever!

the first one is the best :))

Mdr Alphacast excellent

@@jdurthu4304 the dlc wasn't that bad

Agreed. While the OST of that movie wasn't terrible, I felt that the score wasn't as memorable as the trailer music for _Three Kingdoms_ .

also vampire coast trailer theme was so awesome

No

Warhammer 3 is coming, so maybe they will finally release official osts from previous two

@@maciejbzura9057 Vampire Coast trailer ost is released officially already thankfully

That is true. Eight Princes is the most prominent example of this. The last bit really made this trailer legendary, but without it, it is still good, just not as good.

Greatness and Wisdom: A few lines from the Daodejing; the "Johnston Jack" KZfaq account has a translation titled "Mandate of Heaven Music & Lyric - Total War: Three Kingdoms Soundtrack (Tao Te Ching Chapter -18)". Pine Trees and Cypresses: The opening lines (the first of which is also the commonly-used title) of a presumed-Han Dynasty poem, "At fifteen I joined the army on expedition, Only at eighty did I finally return." (十五從軍征 , 八十始得歸) Fifteen Started, Eighty Returned: "Hāolǐxíng" (蒿里行) attributed to the historical Cao Cao, mourning the collapse of the coalition against Dong Zhuo. Despite the pinned comment's title for this music, this has nothing to do with the previous poem, other than the Cao Cao trailer using those lines at the title-drop (sung over the leitmotif, hence its omission here). Memories of the Past: The Difficulty of the Shu Road (蜀道難) by the Tang dynasty poet Li Bai, referring to the road(s) to/from the Shu region which is Liu Yan/Liu Zhang's starting territory in-game. EDIT: In this case it's two lines ("The difficulty of the Shu Road, as difficult as climbing to the blue sky!") then the trailer skips several lines from the poem to what's used when Liu Bei's picked back up ("The ground collapsed and the mountain crumbled - warrior heroes died,") and the final scene uses the line after that ("and only then was this road in the sky linked with a plank road."); EastAsiaStudent.net was my source for this one. The Long River: Immortals by the River (臨江仙) by the Ming dynasty poet Yang Shen; the novel uses it as the opening, so the 1994 live-action TV series used it as the episode-opening song, while this trailer sticks to the first lines. Across the Ocean: View from the Sea (觀滄海) attributed to the historical Cao Cao; the Forge Your Legend trailer uses four lines from the second half (Johnston Jack's got a translation under the "Forge Your Legend" title) while this version omits the last of them due to being sung over the leitmotif. The Tyrant, the Pawn: An anti-Dong Zhuo poem used in chapter 4 of the novel; I am not aware of it having a title or origin outside of said use, whereas EastAsiaStudent.net has a translation under the title "The Traitor Dong Zhuo Secretly Harbours a Deposition Plan", and Wikisource's English translation of the novel has its own version. Quatrain of Seven Steps: A poem of this name (七步詩) attributed to the historical Cao Zhi; you can find it on Wikipedia under this name, and the trailer uses Version 1. TRIVIA: The in-game event Cao Cao, The Poet uses the opening eight lines from his iconic poem Short Song Style (短歌行); I'm not sure if it's a coincidence that the translation in question is an exact match (other than capitalizing) with the version on Wikipedia under "Poetry of Cao Cao".

Addendum to trivia: if you search the "Short Song Style" on KZfaq I currently see four different English translations in the results -- three of which are from live-action media (1994 show, 2010 show, and the movie Red Cliff Part II) and one which appears to be an original take.

Total War's visited Europe like 50 billion times. How many times have we seen Greece at this point?

@@brokensky2378 It is not about being on China. It is about the feeling to be playing the same faction but with different flag everytime. If they add another region with a different geography and a distinct culture from Han's, as Tibet, for example, maybe 3K wouldnt be so sickening.

@@gustaam You have the Nanman just last year, now you've gotta wait for the Xiongnu & the Koreans, long right after the Guandu Chapter Pack, sir

Lmao i only listened to the video, so if you didn't pointed out i wouldn't have notice it. Maybe CA was counting on that too

from what I've seen mostly think they are amazing, way better than expected, and surprised by the effort. These trailers and music covered some really orthodox and detailed parts in history.

they are amazing and novel-accurrated,fit the images in my head ,better than many other ThreeKingdoms games and movies made by Japanese(they love ThreeKingdoms so much) or even made by Chinese

Yes, they totally forgot to put it in.

@@captaintorchman1046 it is sad becoz I somehow find the bgm in the latest dlc quite a powerful low chanting when I was playing southern chief. I was expecting to hear it here but the dumbass CA forget to place it

That was in January 2018, the good old days
