more dumb Wo Long stuff with my barbarian character Beth
A bit mixed on the current DLC, and even tho Im not a big fan of NG++(high risk with almost no reward imo) I do love the new reinforcment fellows(wish the dlc was longer so there would be more of them tbh)

Can you tell us about Xu Tuo? I heard he was some assassin who tried to murder Cao Cao, but was stopped by Xu Chu. Did that really happen or is that a legend?
Xú Tuō (or Tā) 徐他 is described in Xu Chu's biography (SGZ 18.6) as a miscellaneous official. He does not appear to have been anyone of importance.
During the campaign at Guandu, Xu Tuo and some associates plotted to assassinate Cao Cao, presumably for rewards from Yuan Shao (though he might not have had knowledge of the plan). They knew they could not make the attempt while Xu Chu was around, so they waited until he was off duty. Then, Xu Tuo and his conspirators returned to Cao Cao's tent with a concealed dagger. Xu Chu sensed that something was amiss and returned to work unexpectedly. He intercepted them in the tent, questioned them, and quickly killed them.

Waiting for the 2nd Century Warlord Comic? Want to learn more about ancient china? Check out these fun sources!
Three Kingdoms oversimplified. Exactly what it says on the tin.
Farce of the Three Kingdoms. A hilarious parody of the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is only slightly more bonkers than the real thing (3/10 historical accuracy). For a more factual account, try reading Records of the Three Kingdoms...or just wikipedia-ing everyone.
War of the Three Kingdoms (2010). A fun TV show that deviates a lot from the novel but is more character-driven. has a lot of costume inaccuracies tho which drives me crazy >:((((
Romance of the Three Kingdoms(1994)TV show, considered a definitive classic. Editing's a bit choppy but at least none of the men have their hair down.
Total War: Three kingdoms. History told in the form of a stratagy-based video game.
Tang dynasty football. Not the same dynasty, but it's a nice showcase of costumes and instruments, also a surprisingly concise summary about ancient Chinese politics. (Bribes)
What did Early Middle Chinese sound like? How does one recreate a non-phonetic language?
