This Is a very cool game for a number of reasons one is that you can play as cool a$$ generals such as Cao Cao who where historical legends in the Han dynasty, another reason is of the links between stories that happened on is Lui Bei's baby...
During the battle of Chang Ban, Zhao Yun was out searching for Liu Bei's
wife, Lady Mi (who happened to be officer Mi Zhu's sister) and their child,
Liu Chan. Eventually, Zhao Yun approaches a well and finally finds Lady Mi,
who is quite wounded from battle. Yet, the baby she holds in her arms still
appears to be fine. Zhao Yun offers to assist both Lady Mi and her child to
safety, but Lady Mi would hear none of it. Claiming that she would only be
a burden upon their escape, she instead hands only the child over to Zhao
Yun so that he may be placed under the mighty Zhao's protection. Knowing
that Zhao Yun is worthy of protecting the child even against the most
insurmountable odds, she then throws herself into the well, preventing Zhao
Yun from even attempting to protect her.
Zhao Yun then carries the young child under his breastplate with one arm and
rides off to bring him back to Liu Bei. Along the way, he defeats and kills
several important generals and several thousand soldiers - even with his
debilitated fighting ability hindered by the handicap of protecting the
baby. Bruised and bleeding from battle, Zhao Yun finally reaches Liu Bei
and presents his son to him. Seeing Zhao Yun's injured body infuriates Liu
Bei, and so he grabs the child and throws him upon the ground, exclaiming
something to the effect of, "It was because of you that I might have lost my
most faithful retainer! I can have other sons, but there can only be one
Zhao Yun!"
Epilogue: When Liu Chan grew older, it appears that the damage he received
from being thrown upon the ground may have caused a sharp decrease in his
intellect (his father's negligence towards his upbringing may have also been
a factor). While Liu Chan inherited his father's kingdom upon the death of
Liu Bei, Chan could not even come close to Liu Bei's intellect, charm,
political savvy, or even his judge of talent. The heir of the kingdom of
Shu turned out to be a complete and total moron who whittled his kingdom
away through his weak-willed administration and his drunken and carefree
behavior. He made tremendously bad decisions under the horrendous advice of
his most trusted eunuch, Huang Hao, and he eventually handed the kingdom of
Shu over to the kingdom of Wei towards the end of the Three Kingdoms period.
A majority of historians believe that he alone is the cause of Shu's
eventual downfall.
I find this very interesting those who haven't played it then your missing out.
