Faction Leader (Total War: Three Kingdoms)

For the faction leader mechanic in general, see Faction Leader.

Faction Leader is the highest administrative position in any faction's court. Similar to previous Total War games, the faction leader in Total War: Three Kingdoms is tasked to lead the whole faction. The character that holds such a position will lead the whole faction. Faction leaders often come with his/her specific faction-wide bonus and specializations. A new faction leader can be inherited by the faction heir who is a specific family member that is born or adopted by the previous leader.

The Players inserts themselves as the faction leader, thus player actions are treated as the doings of the faction leader by the AI, which will have an impact on character relationship and diplomatic standing.
