Creative Assembly is doing a Total War: Three Kingdoms AMA today

Creative Assembly is hosting an AMA on Reddit today, answering questions on Total War: Three Kingdoms' Records mode and battles.

Records mode makes Three Kingdoms a bit more historical and a bit less heroic. Leaders and generals are treated like legends in Romance of the Three Kingdoms (and the Romance mode inspired by it), but this alternative mode makes them less like superheroes. If you're looking for a more traditional Total War campaign, this might be more your speed.

Watch the comparison video below to see how the two modes differ.

The AMA starts at 5 pm GMT/9 am PST and the developers will be around to answer questions for a couple of hours. Creative Assembly won't be discussing other parts of the game, though more AMAs are being planned. In the meantime, read everything we know about Total War: Three Kingdoms.

With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
