Buy Total War: Three Kingdoms The Furious Wild PC key

Total War: Three Kingdoms The Furious Wild is an expansion that extends the campaign map into Southern China and adds the Nanman culture. You lead one of four new playable Nanman factions, each with its own mechanics, and pursue the goal of uniting the southern tribes through diplomacy or conquest. The expansion is playable in the 190 and 194 start dates.

The Nanman tribes

For centuries, the Nanman tribes have been divided. You play in the years before their encounter with Zhuge Liang and his Southern Campaign, exploring new areas of the Three Kingdoms map as you seek to unite the tribes and face the Han. The expansion adds 19 factions to Southern China overall, including the four playable factions.

Meng Huo, Lady Zhurong, King Mulu and King Shamoke each bring distinct approaches to leadership and battle. Their forces include flaming maces, blowpipes, elephants and tigers, alongside more than 25 new units, animal units and new character artwork.

Lead the factions

Each faction has a distinct mechanic:

• Meng Huo: When he takes control of another Nanman faction, by alliance or destruction, he gains temporary bonuses. These bonuses can stack, building momentum toward his goal of becoming king of the Nanman.
• Lady Zhurong: She gathers points toward Goddess of Fire across the seasons. Once she has enough, she can activate Wild Fire, whose effects vary by season and last for a series of turns. When the bonus ends, she is vulnerable for a short period while she recovers.
• King Mulu: His faction accumulates Pride, a pooled resource gained according to the rank of characters defeated in battle. Pride grants bonuses to animal units, including increased unit capacity and reduced recruitment costs. Mulu also periodically performs spiritual rituals that invoke the elements for additional faction bonuses.
• King Shamoke: His faction gains bonuses based on the method you choose to unite the Nanman. Conquering, subjugating or reforming rewards you for bringing followers to your side.

Faction units

The four factions have distinct units suited to their tactics. Meng Huo fields shield-bearing Nanzhong Champions, rattan-armoured Nanzhong Spearmen and Nanzhong Elephants, whose drummers provide passive buffs to nearby units. Lady Zhurong commands axe-wielding Tiger Warriors, whose tigers disrupt enemy lines, Tiger Slingers who target stragglers, and the flaming-mace Followers of the Flame, whose attacks deal damage over time.

King Mulu’s forces include Southern Elephants and War Elephants, both accompanied by slingers, as well as Ravine Warriors who fight with a weapon in each hand. King Shamoke’s roster includes fast, two-handed-axe Might of the Valley infantry that gain bonuses near death, Wuling Slingers who can avoid terrain penalties, and durable Wuling Fighters suited to fighting powerful heroes.

Campaign features

The expansion also adds a Nanman-specific technology tree with keystone technologies unlocked by completing missions, a new character progression system in which feats unlock traits, and missions and narrative events tailored to the Nanman culture.
