Although I havent played this game, as a fan of Three Kingdoms and its loyal reader, I have been following this game since it was released until the DLC of Eight Princes. If anyone decides to give it a go, then please leave a review I am coming. Unfortunately, my laptop isn't up to running this, so I'll have to wait until I return to the UK and buy a proper PC.
I've also heard that the heroes will often taunt each other during battle, so hopefully there will be some opportunities to improve your listening abilities. Also, this game has an in depth character/relationship system, so there will almost certainly be lots of related vocab. Going by other games in the series, you will likely encounter lots of vocab regarding troops, building types, character/place names, orders/instructions etc.

Although the Total War games have always had an RPG-style character development system, it looks to be much more involved now. In my opinion, the most interesting improvement this time round is the 关系 (guanxi - relationship) system. There have been many tweaks to the formula throughout the years, and Three Kingdoms is no exception. Three Kingdoms seeks to satisfy both sets of fans, with a more historically based Records mode, and a more fantastical Romance mode, featuring superhero type characters: But in 2016 the first fantasy-based game, Total War: Warhammer, was released. Until recently, the game was primarily historical based, being set in various periods of history, from Ancient Rome, to Shogunate Japan. Whenever any of your armies meet an enemy army on the map, you will be immediately transported to a real-time battle, where you will have to act as general and command your troops to victory: In the turn-based overhead map part of the game, you will research technologies, strengthen your empire by building various buildings, and position your armies for battle:
