I've been working on a little side project for awhile to create a rich interactive version of "The Romance of Three Kingdoms' book online, and I think I'm ready to share the first version with the public. You can access it here: https://rotk.net

The book is sourced from the fifth version on https://threekingdoms.com/ (Written by Luo Guanzhong, Translated by C. H. Brewitt-Taylor, Edited by Khang Nguyen). The book is in public domain, so I hope there are no issues hosting this specific version, but if anyone has any information otherwise, please reach out to me.

The character information is mostly sourced from Wikipedia.

The images are mostly sourced from images found on the koei fandom site.

The features of this version:

• Interactive character names for each chapter. Click to see a portrait and get other information on this character.
• Characters list. Search, filter, sort on characters.
• Factions list. Search, filter, sort on factions.

Future features:

• better mobile/responsive viewing
• Interactive Map
• Social layer perhaps for adding annotations like in threekingdoms.com

There is still a lot of manual clean-up that needs to be done on the data itself. This is where, I would LOVE your help! My knowledge of the book and characters is not as strong as others on here, in fact, a main reason I built this site is to help me with that. If anyone is interested in gaining admin access to the site, then please DM me on here or in the discord sever I created (pasted below). I have built tools that allows us to:

• change faction colours
• change role colours
• fix the wrong character being linked to a chapter
• editing which images to display/hide to the front-end, as well as default image
• handle duplicates

I was looking for a 3K game besides ROTK, DW, and TW:3K and I came across this game. I searched for gameplay on YouTube and found it to be an RTS game. So, I wanted to ask, has anyone played this game? What do you think? And do you think it needs a remaster or a remake?

Cao Cao's initial crew after the fracture of coalition, shortly after Qingzhuo corps stablished.

His crew includes figures like Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, his son Cao Ang, Lady Ding, Yu Jin, Gua Jia and Xu Chu with his 30'000 Qingzhuo soldiers and some conspricts dropped in Westeros after death of Ned.

How would he fare in Westeros?

Cao Wei -> Kennedy Massachusetts: Kennedy clan of Boston took over the government and rename the country to Massachusetts.

Dukedom of Jin -> State of Illinois: The Obama clan of Chicago took over the government of Kennedy Massachusetts and enlarged the state of Illinois with several surrounding states.

Eastern Wu -> Southern Confederacy: Direction + place name

Jiao Province Rebellion (263 - 271) -> New Mexico Rebellion: Trying to break away from the Southern Confederacy.

I’ve been watching the anime and some of the manga and I think it’s very good, the most accurate Japanese adaptation except for a few subplots afaik. I’m curious to see if anyone else has seen it and how it compares to other adaptations of the three kingdoms story.

Let say he owned up to his mistake and didn’t go nuts after losing the Battle of Hefei or survived the whole murder plot. Would he make a difference in being the one to lead troops to aid Zhuge Dan’s rebellion in 258?

Legend: Blue represents area under Cao Cao's control; Red = Sun Quan; Orange = Liu Biao; Green = Liu Bei 劉備流鼻涕.

First picture shows the province prior to its annexation by Cao Cao; and the demise of Liu Biao

Second picture shows how 大耳賊 'borrowed' Jingzhou after the battle of Red Cliffs. Note the northern part Nanyang is now under Cao Ren's guard.

Third picture shows how the three commanderies of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang were reluctantly returned to Wu after the 出身下贱靠编草鞋为生之偽君子 (the hypocrite lowlife who made straw sandals for a living) stole Yizhou from his royal kin, during the contest wtih Cao Cao for the control of Hanzhong.

Last picture shows the aftermath of Guan Yu's 大意失荆州

He arguably had the best territory at the start, capable officials and officers, and was arguably the strongest warlord in the south after Sun Jian's death. So why didn't he succeed? Is it because he was too passive, or was he incompetent, or were there internal disputes that prevented him from succeeding? And why didn't he conquer the southeast before Sun Ce conquered it?
