Get Total War: Three Kingdoms Shi Xie for PC

Total War: Three Kingdoms Shi Xie follows Shi Xie, an influential Imperial Government member and governor of a remote province between the Nanman tribes and the Han. Though far from the capital, he uses his provincial power to manipulate both Han and Nanman and extend his reach. He is determined to place his family and inner circle in positions of power throughout China.

Splendor

Shi Xie's unique mechanic, Splendor, is earned by placing family members in important court positions. The amount generated depends on the position's level: an Administrator generates less Splendor than a Council member, for example. Higher Splendor levels provide bonuses to public order, trade influence and diplomatic relations with all factions.

Tribute Chests

Once you have enough Splendor, you can convert it into Tribute Chests, special ancillaries that grant characters bonuses. There are three types:

• Diplomatic: improves a character's diplomatic conditions.
• Regional: benefits a character's region through increased replenishment or reduced construction time.
• Personal: improves a character or their retinue.

A chest provides its effects when equipped and depletes over 20 turns. Tribute Chests can also be traded and used in diplomacy to sweeten a deal.
