Trivia[]

  • Sima Yi's description had a change shortly after the twitter reveal. The Creative Assembly removed the adjective notorious that describes Zhuge Liang in the new post because the fans of Zhuge Liang felt such depiction was insulting to the character. The old description reads: Blessed with great intelligence from a young age, Sima Yi is one of China's greatest strategists. Loyal only to himself, he schemes and plots to outwit the notorious Zhuge Liang and pave the way for his own family to usurp the throne and establish a new dynasty.[1]
  • If Sima Yi becomes independent, he will establish the Jin faction. In reality, Yi's grandson, Sima Yan, founded the Jin dynasty, and retroactively made Yi an Emperor of Jin.
