We are the poor and the oppressed. We are the common-folk; the farmers and the
soldiers; the Han Dynasty’s forgotten multitude. Oh Emperor, we are your people.
And yet you languish in the imperial palace, eunuchs and nobles whispering
falsehoods in your ear. You do their bidding. You are their puppet. Even as we
starve, you tax us ever harder, that they may continue to live in luxury.
When we rose in opposition, you slaughtered us in our millions. Many more were
slain by your agents on suspicion alone. It is clear to us now: you have lost
the Mandate of Heaven.
We are the poor and the oppressed. But we are also the many. We are the very
backbone of China. We wear the yellow turban with pride. And we bring great
change.
The Blue Sky is dead; the Yellow Sky will soon rise.
In the year of Jiazi, there will be prosperity under Heaven!
OVERVIEW
The Yellow Turbans were a rebel movement of the common people, founded on
spiritual beliefs. Tired of oppression, starvation and injustice at the hands of
the Han Dynasty, they rose up against the corrupt nobility. Prior to the start
of this campaign, a massive Yellow Turban rebellion had swept through China led
by the Zhang brothers, who used Taoist divination to predict the fall of the Han
dynasty. However, this initial rebellion was ruthlessly crushed and millions of
civilians suspected of being sympathisers were slaughtered without mercy. As the
campaign begins, the Zhang brothers are already dead, and only three significant
enclaves of Yellow Turbans remain. Playing as one of these factions, you can
change history, rekindling the movement and uniting China under a rightful,
virtuous and just Emperor.
YELLOW TURBAN FACTIONS
The Yellow Turbans’ beliefs blend Taoism and shamanistic principles, and these
spiritual aspects are a recurring theme throughout their faction gameplay. Many
of their features relate to the three Taoist domains of Land, People and Heaven,
or the Three Treasures (or virtues) of Taoism: Frugality, Compassion, and
Humility.
Reflecting these concepts, the playable Yellow Turban factions are led by the
characters He Yi (People), Gong Du (Land) and Huang Shao (Heaven). Each has
their own playstyle and unique bonuses.
Yellow Turban factions construct a mix of adapted Han buildings and their own
unique structures. Their technology tree is divided into three scrolls from the
Book of Great Peace, each of which references the three Taoist domains and
contains verses of Taoist scripture. It is structurally and mechanically very
different from the default tech trees used by other factions.
Playable Yellow Turban factions improve their Faction Rank as their campaigns
progress. These represent the journey to enlightenment, the achievement of The
Great Peace, regaining the Mandate of Heaven, and appointing a just Emperor.
Progression requires the player to study the verses in the Book of Great Peace,
construct religious building in their settlements and improve the virtuous
characteristics of the characters under their control.
CHARACTERS
The Yellow Turbans have three playable heroes representing their factions. Each
has their own playstyle, unique building chain and faction bonuses:
* He Yi is a Yellow Turban commander from Yu province. Like the original
founders of the Yellow Turban movement, he is a Healer, and empathises with
the suffering of the common people. He is able to rally vast masses to the
cause of the rebellion.
Representing the domain of People, He Yi espouses Compassion. He fields veteran
Yellow Turban warriors and strong berserkers in battle, and has access to the
Healer’s Lodge unique building chain, a multifunctional building boosting
population growth and replenishment and generating a small income from the sale
of medicine.
* Gong Du is a Veteran. Originally a bandit leader in the Changsha area, he
aided Ou Xing in his rebellion against Sun Jian. He is a former military
commander, and something of a charming brigand: well-liked and popular with
the troops. He is dedicated to claiming the spoils from the tyrants he
overthrows.
