Besides the military aspect, Total War: Three Kingdoms also involves expanding cities, managing population growth, and other strategic elements.

　　The game earned an 8/10 in GameSpot's Total War: Three Kingdoms review. "Three Kingdoms feels like a breath of fresh air," wrote critic Ginny Woo. "This is the most ambitious that Total War has ever been, from the variety of different ways that you can enjoy the game to the sheer scope of the stories that they've weaved around each unique character's playable experience. Three Kingdoms feels like the rightful evolution of the series, pulling from its roots in historical military tactics to come up with an engrossing modern strategy game that is always a delight, even in its less well-oiled moments."
