I thoroughly enjoyed this game!
Thematically, I can see that CA has done a lot of research on the era, and on Chinese culture.
The art direction is superb! The scenery is gorgeous, the brush-stroke user interface is very stylistic, and the music is immersive!

I personally really enjoy the Chinese voice acting! Every time you issue an order to your units, the general will cry "<Unit Name> 領命 (Lingming)", which roughly means "<Unit Name>" receive this order!", and the units respond with either "諾 (Nuo - meaning Affirmative)", or "遵命 (Zunming [The Z is pronounced like a soft J] - meaning "As you command").
This really adds to the authenticity, and I am really happy that CA put in all these extra details! It shows that they are really respectful of the subject matter! I hate it when games either exoticise the east, or use campy stereotypes.
I think CA did an excellent job in portraying the Three Kingdoms period!

Once again, Paradox does not disappoint!
