[QUOTE="Andrew D. Gable, post: 1112415, member: 4144"] Here's some more details I've decided on. The game will take place in the city of Hanzhong, in 219 AD. The city was ruled by the Wei Kingdom for a long time, but was lately taken over by the Shu Kingdom after the city's prefect, Xiahou Yuan, was killed at Mount Dingjun. Here's a little explanation of the Three Kingdoms and what they see as their rights to rule. [b]Shu Kingdom:[/b] Ruled by Liu Bei and his sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and served by the master tactician Zhuge Liang. The ruler is a distant kinsman of the ruling family of the Han Dynasty, and sees himself as the rightful heir to the throne. [b]Wei Kingdom:[/b] Ruled by Cao Cao. Cao is a force behind the throne, at first manipulating Emperor Xian, and later becoming quite clearly the true power in the realm. Sees himself as preserving the sanctity of the Han against the other two "traitors". [b]Wu Kingdom:[/b] Ruled by Sun Quan. Quan's claim to the throne is tenuous, largely hinging on the possession of the Imperial Seal, found by his father, Sun Jian, at a battle against Dong Zhuo (a deceased usurper of the throne). Largely a foil between Shu and Wei. [i]Cao[/i] - as the rulers of Wei, members of the Cao family are almost always allied with that force. [i]Meng[/i] - members of this family are mostly allied with the Nanman tribe, not with any of the kingdoms. [i]Sima[/i] - a family of scholars and tacticians, the Simas are mostly allied with Wei (if relatives of Sima Yi) or free officers of no political allegiance. [i]Sun[/i] - descendants of Sun Tzu. As the rulers of Wu, members of the Sun family are almost all allied with Wu, with few exceptions (such as the Shu officer Sun Qian). [i]Xiahou[/i] - kinsmen to Cao Cao, the Xiahous are largely allied with Wei. [i]Yuan[/i] - the Yuan family are mostly descendants of the warlord Yuan Shao, killed by Cao Cao, and are almost never allied with Wei. [i]Zhuge[/i] - allied with either the Shu or Wu Kingdom. Other than these few, families aren't aligned with any particular kingdom usually. [/QUOTE]
