Total War: Three Kingdoms – A World Betrayed brings new challenges in a land ravaged by warlords. One of those is Sun Ce, Sun Jian’s firstborn and would-be Little Conqueror of the Southlands. Here’s our detailed faction guide to help you with Sun Ce’s faction mechanics, dilemmas, events, and campaign progression.

Note: This guide was completed while playing Romance Mode on VH/VH difficulty. For more information, check out our Total War: Three Kingdoms – A World Betrayed guides and features hub.

A World Betrayed: Sun Ce, The Little Conqueror of the Southlands

I. Sun Ce’s faction mechanics – We explain Sun Ce’s mechanics such as Reckless Luck, Legacy of Wu ambitions, Shared Expertise, and Experienced-based Ministerial Positions.

II. Sun Ce’s campaign progression – We detail Sun Ce’s opening moves, dilemmas, events, and what you can expect as you continue playing Total War: Three Kingdoms – A World Betrayed‘s 194 CE campaign.

Note: There’s no transition from the vanilla 190 CE campaign to A World Betrayed‘s setting. Playing as Sun Jian won’t let you use Sun Ce’s faction mechanics once the latter comes of age and leads Wu. One thing’s for certain, though, and that’s a Sun Ce playthrough will challenge you more than his father’s “autopilot” mode.
