We all know the national flag: 5 yellow stars in a red sky slanted towards the left.
The flag was set in 1949.
五星出东方利中国。Five stars in the east bless China.
traditional maps were often made with east = left.

No, I own the game, but it isn't that great. For me Three Kingdoms Total War is more pretentious than faithful. I still prefer Romance of the Three Kingdoms from Koei. But not the recent game. I think the older versions were better than the latest.
Anyone following Carl‘s Chinese history podcast on patreon? He is covering it from early “mythical” dynasties to spring and autumn era currently with Jin and Chu states battling for supremacy. It’s really a good listen, but so complex that I have to refresh my memory and listen to previous episodes and it’s taking a long time to digest it all.
Koreans often perverted Xue Rengui's origin in several of their Goguryeo's TV / Movie; by claiming that he was a Khitan, and not a Han. This lies often make me angry.I love the wood building specially the Tang architecture But not much left in China these days. Hardly any Tang building left standing. I don't blame CR With constant war and upheaval over centuries it is too much to ask to see 7th century building. But replica will do
Growing up I read the exploit of Tang General See Jin Kui or mandarin Xue Rengui which is a popular hero figure in my community. He is the one who subdue Goguryeo for good
Xue Rengui (: 薛仁贵; : 薛仁貴; : Xuē Rénguì; : Hsüeh1 Jen2-kuei4; 614–683), formal name Xue Li (薛禮) but went by the of Rengui, was one of the most famous Chinese generals during the early , due to references to him in popular literature. During his career, he participated in successful campaigns against remnants of and against , with only one major flaw on his record which was an unsuccessful campaign against in 670, where another general in his army refused to listen to Xue's advice and charged ahead and caused the majority of the army to be lost.
Anyway they just uploaded the NHK video about how artist and local people try to revitalized Chinese Qing era village

I finally got the game, and I was impressed by the Chinese voiceover. It actually uses a lot of classical Chinese with only a few sprinkles of vernacular here and there.
Well, maybe because I use English voiceover, so it feel Cringe when I hear Liu Bei and his two brothers rambling at the beginning of battle. I feel like watching a Westerned Chinese Opera.

If you can understand Chinese, I definitely recommend using the Chinese voice-overs.
Chinese VO >> English VO if you can understand it. I also find the Chinese UI to be more useful in this game because it makes the names of the regions/towns easier to recognize.
