Is Guan Yu and Lu Bu really popular characters in China?

That is Lv Bu, not Lu Bu.
So many Chinese people like Guan Yu, but not many Chinese people like Lv Bu.
Because loyalty is a traditional Chinese spirit.

Chinese hates traitors, Lv Bu is the China version Lancelot.

Liu Buu allied and then killed two of his foster fathers.

But they always try to make the characters more and more Caucasian looking.

There are chinese who looks like that depicted in dynastic warriors, just relatively uncommon.

Depend on what you consider Chinese, I would include SOME ethnic minorities, but carefully draw the line on the sand for other, to avoid hurting international sensitivity.

For example?

Manchus, Mongols of certain time periods. Avoid Gok Turk.

Yes, they have some very nice designs.

But they always try to make the characters more and more Caucasian looking.

Firstly Japanese people are caucasian fetish and secondly they want to make sure this game sells globally. So they had to gather up the ideas, modernize and give it a western touch etc

Li Rusong. In Korea, he did the same thing Peng Dehuai did 300 years later. Japan's invasion north was stopped at Pyongyang and rolled back all the way to Fushan.

I think its bit different, Peng Dehuai faced far more superior United Nation forces. But what Li Rusong faced was lines of undiciplined but experienced savages whereas the Ming army was much better trained and organized though lack of experience.

孙武/子Sun Wu/Zi,


项羽Xiang Yu, 韩信Han Xin, 曹操Cao Cao, 李世民 Lǐ Shìmín

edit: forgot 岳飞Yue Fei and 袁崇焕 Yuan Chonghuan, the tragic heroes.

why Li Shimin? he was just a guy who kicked the rotten Ming's 'gate', He didnt do anything exceptional in terms of tactics certainly not strategically otherwise his army wouldnt be disintegrated so quickly!

OMG can't believe you mixed 李自成 up with 李世民.

At any rates, I would rate Prince Regent Dorgon above any late Ming/early Qing commander.
