Well that's because he threw his baby, and that's just True Chinese Ancient History.
Ironically, he was right.
He should've killed his son because his son dishonored their clan into ruin afterward.
ZY effing it up by going back...smh.

Damn, I was beginning to think there was no one else out there that loves Pang Tong as much as I do
Voted on
1. Xu Huang
2. Yue Jin
3. Wang Yi
Sucked not being able to vote Cai Wenji, Xiahou Yuan, Zhang Liao or Guo Jia. Especially Xiahou Yuan as he was the first character I picked in my first proper DW game. It ended up going down to gameplay (Wang Yi over Cai Wenji) and a bit of meta voting (Xu Huang over Guo Jia or Xiahou Yuan, after looking at the Japanese poll). Actually, I had to do a looot of nitpicking to get it down to that number because I just really like Wei as a faction and its characters.
I've already decided on other factions (since they're way easier for me).
Wu
Ding Feng, Lu Meng, Zhou Tai.
This was almost as hard as Wei until I considered the recent designs and moveset changes. It was way easier to decide after that (sorry Gan Ning and Huang Gai!)
Jin
Zhuge Dan, Guo Huai and Deng Ai.
Going with Deng Ai over Sima Yi due to his crappy placement in the Jp poll.
Shu
Pang Tong, Ma Dai.
I could go with a third (Yue Ying, Zhang Fei, Liu Shan) or not. I guess we'll see when the vote pops up.
Others
Lu Bu. That's it.
Don't really care for Others in DW tbh. The closest to a second and third would be Zuo Ci (but he just ain't as cool as he used to be tbh) or Zhang Jiao (purely because he was super useful in WO3U's Gauntlet Mode). Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi sound interesting but I haven't got around to 8XL yet.

Gotta go with Zhuge Liang/Yue Ying/Pang Tong
I give Shu shit, but they had the best intellectuals*.
*not counting the true victor of the three kingdoms, Sima Yi

Yue Ying is my favorite Scythe Lady
In the end I went with
Pang Tong (still the best Shu character for me, even since DW3)
Ma Dai (only decent Shu addition from the PS3 series imo. I also actually wanted him pre-DW7)
Xu Shu (because I was reminded of him joining Wei in the hypothetical Wei route in 8 lol and I don't like anyone else enough. Also super useful in WO3U)
Sorry Zhang Fei, Yue Ying and Liu Shan!

You should be able to ignore the sign in request. Like a "maybe later" option. Only the last part of the poll will require facebook, since they're doing a live count thing.
Went with Pang Tong, Liu Shan, and Xing Cai. They always seemed a little more sane than the other Shu options. Pang Tong has been great forever. A shame how quickly he dies.

XingCai, YueYing, and Pang Tong.
They're the only heroes of Shu that don't make me hate life.

Pang Tong and...um...well...
Fuck this poll, can I just vote for Pang Tong two more times?
Edit: Ended up picking Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Bao Sanniang

Glad to see all of the Pang Tong love
I think you could have voted only one character
Also you just reminded me that this awful character exists ughhhh
Liu Shan is cool. I just wish his rapier moveset wasn't the worst thing ever. Even in WO3U, where you can upgrade the shit out of any weapon, it still isn't any fun to actually use.

I'm thinking people actually vote for the stories?? I only vote by who's most op lol. Characters who swipe off the horse like the dude with nunchuks? Liu tong ? Are always best lol you never need to dismount. Also any character with widesweep that can down 10 men at once
Says I'm not logged in and if I get rid of it via ESC, it just reloads the page with that window being in front again.
The Dragon Bench he adopted in the DW8XL DLC & DW8 Empires is pretty awesome. Fantastic troll weapon.
Unfortunately, there's speculation going around that the high fantasy weapons might be getting dropped in DW9, or at the very least weapon shakeups are abound. There's even some worry that we'll see DW6/7 clone wars again.
It seems like a shame. I know they want to revamp the combat system a bit, but some of the new weapons they added in DW8 (including XL and the DLC weapons) were the best they've ever had. Lots of great gimmicks and fun animations.
Hmm, seems like things aren't working as smoothly as they intended. This is what I could find from Koei on the matter:
I tried logging out and accessing the poll from mobile, but it just sent me to a strange page with some red text warning me about the sanctity of the URL.
Can't vote because no facebook account and don't want to even create a throwaway one but... Seriously ?
People like Guan Yu ? He's butt ugly, got a boring personality and his gameplay is always super slow. I know people still pray to him to this day but man... I can't stand him...
For Shu, my votes would be :
Yue Ying
Ma Chao
Wei Yan
Wei :
Xiahou Dun
Zhang Liao
Cao Ren
Wu :
Zhou Tai
Gan Ning
Lu Meng
Jin :
Sima Shi
Zhong Hui
Jia Chong
Others :
Lu Bu
Lu Lingqi
Zhurong

I voted for Guan Ping and Pang Tong.
The only 3 DW characters I really like are Meng Huo, Lu Bu, and Guan Ping. Meng Huo is definitely my favourite though.

I hate Shu, but at least I can think of three good characters.
Wu? It's impossible. They're all terrible
....Fine.
Here are my votes:
Sun Ce - I hate him, but his absolutely miserable death in the Three Kingdoms books always makes me laugh.
Zhou Yu - He gets sick and dies after being owned by Zhuge Liang repeatedly. That's amazing!
Sun Jian - He'd rather take an arrow in the face than deal with his family of idiots and clowns.
