Total War: Three Kingdoms – Fates Divided – Playing as Han Emperor Liu Xie and restoring the Han Empire

Just to clarify, restoring the Han Empire and being able to play as Han Emperor Xian (Liu Xie) is part of a free update that coincides with the release of the Total War: Three Kingdoms – Fates Divided DLC. You don’t actually need to own the DLC itself to be able to do this. But, there are a few caveats based on several tests that I’ve done.

In any case, you can refer to the pages below for the parts that you need help with:

• The decision to restore the Han Empire
• Major issues that you might experience
• Han Emperor Xian/Liu Xie’s skills and perks as your faction leader
