canon dump: camp dialogue, shu story mode.
So most of this is actually completely useless for my purposes (especially considering that Jiang Wei doesn't start showing up until the very end), but I enjoy collecting useless information, so: all of the dialogue you can get by talking to people around the camp in Shu story mode. Other modes will probably be forthcoming later, because I'm a dork like that.
I've tried to preserve formatting (namely, the wonky text colors), but there is one thing I did add -- the green dialogue tag on anything said by Shu Guy, the true hero of the three kingdoms. :V
(Incidentally, if you ever find yourself having trouble answering the scholar's questions in conquest mode: talk to people in story mode. Seriously. Half of the shit they say is random trivia that doesn't come up in the game proper, but that appears in the scholar's quizzes!)
Yellow Turban Rebellion (Liu Bei)
Peasant: They are attacking nearby villages like common thugs. But the Imperial Army refuses to help us.
It's simply unbearable. How long must we live in such despair?
Peasant: Look at the size of these guys. They're like giants!
Private: Speak to the person with the red mark above their head to begin the battle. Here, that person is Lord Guan Yu.
Peasant: If you hadn't helped us... We owe you our lives.
Liu Bei: No, I am simply relieved that you are all okay. Are any of you injured?
Peasant: We are all fine thanks to you. You are a true hero.
Peasant: If you're going on ahead, please be careful. The leader of the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Jiao, is around here somewhere.
Peasant: Who are you all? I've never seen you before.
Peasant: I'm thinking of volunteering! I want to get out of this town, and make a name for myself!
Don't forget me, my lord! I'll fight to keep you safe!
Peasant: I'm just glad we were able to get the women and children to safety.
Peasant: I just wish they'd let us get on with tilling our fields. At this rate, we'll starve!
Peasant: The Imperial Army is just a bunch of bullies. Can we really trust them to defeat the Yellow Turbans?
Peasant: Is the imperial court just going to abandon us?
Peasant: The rebellion of the Yellow Turbans is just another sign that this land is in turmoil.
Peasant: Lord Jian Yong has always been with you, hasn't he, my lord? You're from the same town, right?
Peasant: I can't thank you enough! You've really saved us!
Peasant: Most of the Yellow Turbans are just peasants. They just don't have enough food to get by!
Guan Yu: Brother, we have fallen behind the Imperial Army considerably. We must pick up the pace and catch up.
Zhang Fei: What's the big hurry?
It's not like they care anyway. We're simply volunteer soldiers. They probably aren't even missing us.
Liu Bei: No, he is right. We must hurry and catch up with everybody.
Zhang Fei: You're too serious! Well, at least I'll get to go out there and see some action!
Elimination of Dong Zhuo (Guan Yu)
Zhang Fei: Of course, it's all to help Brother make a name for himself! Any personal satisfaction I get is merely a bonus!
Guan Yu: Try not to get ahead of yourself. Our actions reflect on Brother, whether for better or for worse.
Zhang Fei: You think I don't know that? Man, you guys need to lighten up a little!
Zhang Fei: C'mon already! I can't stand waiting around here much longer!
Liu Bei: The people are suffering at the hands of Dong Zhuo. We must defeat him in order to save them!
Private: My lord, it's me! Don't you remember me?
After you saved me, I volunteered. Today's my first day in the army!
Private: I'm ready to fight for the glory of Lord Liu Bei!
Gongsun Zan: I am surprised to see so many warriors here. If I can stand out from the crowd, I will be rewarded handsomely.
Private: I hear Lord Gongsun Zan and Lord Liu Bei are old friends from their schooldays.
Private: That Dong Zhuo's a monster... He doesn't even look human!
Private: I hear the enemy is loaded with mighty warriors. I don't see how we stand a chance!
Lieutenant: So that's Cao Cao... Look at his eyes - they're so cold and calculating.
Lieutenant: Lord Cao Cao will be a great hero one day. You'd do well to remember his name.
Cao Cao: Things are not finished just because we defeated Dong Zhuo. The chaos will continue until we can plant the lasting roots of peace.
(I assume a tense screw-up in the translation here, because...getting a little ahead of ourselves, aren't we, Mengde? :|a )
Private: Looks like Lord Zhang Fei's kept away from the drink. That's a relief.
Private: Those monsters burned my house to the ground. There's nothing I can do now but fight!
Private: Urgh... This is my first battle. I'm so nervous...
Private: Wow... Look at all these famous warriors! So, who are you?
Private: What's taking so long? Let's get started!
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Bei saved us! We are eternally grateful!
We were on the verge of death in this cold, with nothing to eat.
Lord Liu Bei is a hero to us all!
Private: Now that is a horse. I wish I had one like that.
Guard: I notice Liu Yan is conspicuous by his absence... Just where is he?
Dian Wei: Hm? Can I help you with something?
Private: Lord Yuan Shao's giving a speech! Won't you stay and listen?
Guard: Yes... He's convinced me. Mind you, I'm a sucker for the nobility.
Yuan Shao: Rest assured, we are fighting for the most righteous of causes!
Fear not! Step forth and be proud! For to battle we march!
Battle of Xu Province (Zhang Fei)
Jian Yong: Lord Zhao Yun is an example to us all!
Lieutenant: Lord Zhao Yun has great respect for Lord Liu Bei.
Lieutenant: Yes, I'm sure he understands our lord's anger.
Peasant: My house... Now what am I supposed to do?
Zhang Fei: Look at this place... The bodies are just piling up on each other.
Guan Yu: It's as Lord Tao Qian said. Cao Cao's army is nearly invincible, and shows no mercy.
He kills every last one of his enemies. That is the only way he knows how to fight a battle.
Zhang Fei: This guy makes me sick... He's nothing like Brother.
Private: Lord Guan Yu is so calm. Or maybe he's just suppressing his rage...
Lieutenant: Cao Cao is truly heartless. To have wreaked such destruction in such a short time...
Private: They say Lord Liu Bei used to be a sandal salesman. That doesn't sound right...
Peasant: This well's useless now...
Peasant: You want water? Sorry, it's all dried up.
Peasant: Argh! Please... Just leave me alone!
Peasant: His family was killed in front of his eyes. Just leave him in his grief.
Peasant: Cao Cao's a monster! My family, they're, they're...!
Private: Lord Liu Bei, it's me! You remember me, right?
My village was overrun by the Yellow Turbans, remember? But if anything, this is even worse...
I'm worried about my friend back home. Maybe I'll write a letter.
Liu Bei: If he truly is that powerful, then we will have no choice but to eliminate him.
That is the message we shall send to Cao Cao in this battle!
Liu Bei: Using strength to simply smash your opponents... That is how Cao Cao fights?
Zhao Yun: Lord Liu Bei is a man of emotion. To think that he would help these people despite having no relationship to them...
Zhang Fei: Why do you think we follow him?!
Zhao Yun: I wish I was as content as you are. You have been blessed to serve such a benevolent lord.
Zhang Fei: In that case, why don't you join us? I'm sure Brother would love to have you!
Zhao Yun: Perhaps someday... For now, let us go, Zhang Fei!
Battle of Xiapi (Guan Yu)
Private: They say Lu Bu has a beautiful woman at his side. They always go for the strong ones, don't they...
Lieutenant: Lord Cao Cao thinks you could be a great warrior, my lord. Have you considered a change of allegiances?
Private: I don't trust him. I don't forget easily, believe me.
Private: Zhang Liao is supposed to be strong too... Oh, not as strong as you, my lord.
Private: I'll never forget what Cao Cao did in Xu Province... And now we have to fight with him?
Zhang Fei: You're gonna pay for stealing our brother's land! Everybody, no one touches Lu Bu except for me!
Liu Bei: I never expected Cao Cao to aid us in reclaiming Xu... I must convey my gratitude to him.
Private: Lord Liu Bei, it's me! You remember me, right?
I got a letter back from my friend. Turns out her family was all okay.
And so I wrote back to her... And I asked her to marry me after this battle!
Hey, I could be dead tomorrow. I have to live while I can.
Private: Lord Liu Bei can't really trust Cao Cao, can he?
Private: Lord Liu Bei's too gullible. Lu Bu used him, then threw him aside.
Private: Cao Cao doesn't do anything for nothing. He'll have an angle, I guarantee it.
Guo Jia: I hear that Zhang Liao is a most capable warrior. Why would such a man be serving underneath Lu Bu?
Private: You see that man over there? That's Lord Cao Cao's strategist. He's still young, but he's cunning like a fox!
Lieutenant: If he was going to go to Cao Cao for help in the end, then why did he ever fight him in the first place?
Xiahou Dun: We've received a report from our scouts. It appears that an unknown army is headed this way.
I'd bet my life that they are enemy reinforcements. We must hurry and bring an end to this battle.
Xiahou Dun: Hmph... What are you still doing here?
Private: Lu Bu is a mighty warrior. Train hard, men - your life may depend on it!
Private: My plan is, as soon as I see Lu Bu, I turn and run for my life.
Private: I am a warrior! I am not afraid... to run away like a little girl!
Private: It's all about balance, you know? Fight a little, run away a little...
Private: I-It's Lu Bu! By the time I yell that, I'll probably already be dead.
Lieutenant: So, you're the man they call the God of War... Hmph. Well, you look pretty tough, I guess.
Lieutenant: For my lords Liu Bei and Cao Cao to join forces... This Lu Bu must be a truly frightening man.
Cao Cao: Xiapi is a castle surrounded by water. If we flood it, it will quickly fall before us.
Then we simply need to finish off Lu Bu once he's exhausted his troops.
Guan Yu: However, Lu Bu is one of the mightiest warriors this land has ever seen. Even if our plan is successful, we mustn't let down our guard.
Cao Cao: Indeed. Most perceptive of you.
However, we have no time to waste. We must begin the attack.
Battle of Guandu (Zhao Yun)
Liu Bei: Zhao Yun, I am pleased that you have come to join us.
However, because of me, Guan Yu is missing...
Zhao Yun: You need not say anything more, my lord.
Lord Guan Yu will return to your side in time. You simply need to be patient.
Liu Bei: You're right. Please forgive my moment of weakness.
Zhang Fei: This doesn't bode well... It really has got Brother down.
Urgh... I feel like smashing something!
Private: My lord, my lord! Remember me? My friend wrote back to me!
Uh, yeah... She said something about just being friends...
But I'm not giving up! If we win this war, and I become a hero, she'll change her mind for sure!
Guard: Without Lord Guan Yu, you're the only one we can rely on, my lord!
Private: Where's Lord Zhang He? I wonder if he has some secret plan.
Private: Who knows? Good luck trying to work out how he thinks.
Yan Liang: I don't care who stands before us. They will all fall like lambs to the slaughter.
Wen Chou: No man can stand against the likes of Yan Liang and myself, not even Cao Cao and all of his troops.
Private: I heard Lord Liu Bei praise you, my lord!
Private: Yes, he said you were courage personified!
Private: Lord Yuan Shao's son is so lucky... He's married to the famous Lady Zhen, you know.
Private: She's not just beautiful, you know. She can do some serious damage on the battlefield. That's the kind of wife I want.
Private: Lord Guan Yu! I wonder where he could have gone...
Private: Lord Zhang Fei's terrifying when he's been drinking. And it's getting worse.
Private: That's a good little horse.
Private: It's not little. You should say, that horse is good.
Guo Tu: Come on you wet blankets! Cao Cao's not going to defeat himself!
Guard: Our lord may act all high and mighty, but deep down he's a kind man. That's why he has our respect.
Private: Once Cao Cao is gone, this land will belong to you, my lord!
Private: Cao Cao will be crushed before Lord Yuan Shao's might!
Private: None can match your glorious nobility, my lord!
Yuan Shao: Cao Cao... For too long now, you have stood in my way! Finally, I will rid myself of your meddlesome presence!
Your pathetic army is nothing before me. Now you shall witness the power of the nobility!
Battle of Xinye (Zhang Fei)
Zhang Fei: Who the hell are you?
Xu Shu: I will get to that eventually. But first, we must defeat Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei: Well, that goes without saying. But why are you the one giving the orders?
Xu Shu: I harbor no ill will towards Lord Liu Bei. I simply am asking you to trust me.
Zhao Yun: Xu Shu is a talented strategist. He is certain to assist our lord's efforts.
Zhang Fei: Hmm... I wonder...
Private: My lord, it's me! I've been promoted to captain!
And have you met my wife? She's just over here!
Cheer up, my lord! It'll happen for you too!
(Yeah, I guess the dialogue tags weren't informed of his promotion yet.)
Liu Bei: Is Cao Cao the one destined to rule the land? If so, then I fear this chaos will never come to an end...
However, I possess not the strength to oppose him. This is my chance, yet I am unable to take advantage of it.
Is this as far as I am fated to come...?
Guan Yu: Brother...
Private: Who is that Xu Shu? I mean, he seems trustworthy...
Private: Just what is Lord Xu Shu doing here? What's he up to?
Lieutenant: Until Cao Cao is gone, our lord will never have peace of mind.
Private: Lord Guan Yu's back, but now our lord has more worries on his mind...
Lieutenant: Cao Cao's army's full of well-trained troops. And look at us!
Lieutenant: We need a plan... Some way of overcoming our lack of numbers and inexperience...
Lieutentant: Our lord's indecision is palpable. He is losing his way...
Private: I'd like to help our lord out, but I just don't know what to do.
Private: Love never changed anything. If we don't do something, we'll be swept aside.
Private: My lord, is it true you once whipped Cao Bao for refusing a drink? No, I'm sure you were right to do it...
Private: The people love Lord Liu Bei. But that's all he has.
Private: I've been thinking about it for ages, and I just don't know what we should do next!
Private: If you're feeling down, you could always try a new weapon. Slice away the gloom, and all that.
Zhang Fei: Alright then, let's go and do this! I'll plough through Cao Cao's army by myself if I have to!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Chibi (Zhao Yun)
Guard: I'm sorry, my lord, you can't go any further.
Zhuge Liang: With this battle, we must set the stage for the Three Kingdoms to be formed. However, Cao Cao will not make it easy for us...
Zhao Yun: Lord Strategist?
Zhuge Liang: Never mind. It's nothing.
Zhang Fei: Why does the fire attack have to wait for the wind?
Zhao Yun: If we start the fire now, it will simply turn back upon us.
Zhang Fei: I don't believe all this prayer nonsense is going to change the winds. Are you sure we can trust this guy?
Private: I just hope Lord Zhang Fei doesn't take out his anger on me!
Private: Lord Zhang Fei used to sell meat and wine...
I bet he drank more than he sold, huh?
I wonder what made him decide to become a warrior.
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Qi was sent away by his father, and has taken refuge with our lord.
Lieutenant: He is a wise and courteous man.
Private: Can we really win this? Looking at Cao Cao's fleet, I just feel a bit...
Private: Making winds blow... It sounds like the black arts to me!
Private: What's with all the secrecy? I don't like that Zhuge Liang!
Corporal: My lord, it's me! You probably don't remember me, I guess.
I've been with Lord Liu Bei since the Yellow Turbans, but I've never been so scared...
I have a wife and children, you know... I can't afford to die.
But I suppose I must have faith, and fight!
Liu Qi: Lord Zhao Yun, how goes Lord Zhuge Liang's preparations?
Zhao Yun: He has just begun the prayer ceremony. It's all up to him now.
Messenger: Lord Zhao Yun!
I come with orders from Lord Zhuge Liang. He wishes us to quietly begin the march.
Zhao Yun: Quietly?
Messenger: We are to work our way around to Cao Cao's escape route. And he wants us to strike before Sun Quan's army can.
Zhao Yun: I understand. I will leave Lord Zhang Fei in charge of guarding the prayer ceremony.
Messenger: Yes, my lord!
Zhao Yun: Lord Liu Qi. Will you please lend me your strength?
Liu Qi: Of course, Lord Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun: You have my gratitude. Now, we must hurry!
Battle of Chibi (Guan Yu)
Lieutenant: Your son is a fine warrior, my lord. He takes after you.
Lieutenant: And what of your second son? Is he still too young to fight?
Private: I can't believe we actually beat them...
Zhuge Liang: I ask that you do it for the sake of our lord.
Zhao Yun: I have failed in my task... There is no excuse.
Liu Qi: Lord Zhang Fei has gone on ahead. We must pick up the pace if we are to catch up in time.
Guard: That Cao Cao sure can run fast.
Guard: I saw you playing Go with Ma Liang the other day, my lord. Did you win?
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang is so calm... It seems like he expected to win all along.
Lieutenant: I hear you owe a debt of gratitude to Lord Cao Cao, my lord. But please, show him no mercy!
Corporal: It's me, my lord! You remember me, from the Yellow Turbans?
Come, my lord. We must give chase. Together we will claim victory, and I will regain the respect of my family!
Private: A merchant here?! Now that's dedication!
Guan Ping: Cao Cao couldn't have gotten very far. Father, let's hurry after him!
Guan Yu: Hmph. Now, to Cao Cao!
Battle of Luo Castle (Pang Tong)
Wei Yan: For Liu Bei... I... fight... Enemy... die...
Pang Tong: That's the spirit, Wei Yan. But try not to focus too much on achievements. It's the end result that counts.
This is dangerous terrain to fight on. We could find ourselves in the hands of an enemy trap.
Wei Yan: Grr... Understood...
Huang Zhong: Liu Zhang is merely an indecisive fool. Both the people and even his own men are calling for our lord to replace him.
Why is he the only one who doesn't see it?
Pang Tong: He is a man of virtue. The situation he now finds himself in is at odds with that virtue.
Well, if it is to help him realize his ideals, then I suppose we should pitch in and help him.
Huang Zhong: Indeed. We simply need to take the castle ourselves. If we do so, then surely he will do what is needed to occupy the lands of Shu.
Private: Lord Wei Yan is so loyal to our lord. The spirit of benevolence must be strong in him.
Fa Zheng: This place is known for its natural defenses... The enemy trap could be anywhere.
Private: We have some former retainers of Liu Zhang in our ranks. They will be valuable in this battle.
Guard: The contrast couldn't be greater; our lord, with his spirit of benevolence, and Liu Zhang, the very picture of incompetence.
Private: I only hope our lord won't be angry that we didn't tell him about this attack.
Lieutenant: Sometimes, families fall apart. It can't be helped.
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang knows about this, right? So the only one who's in the dark, is...
Private: Have you seen the vegetable patch over there?
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang is making us grow turnips. They're supposed to be good for us.
Private: Lord Liu Feng is Lord Liu Bei's adopted son. Of course, now Liu Bei has his own son...
Liu Feng: It must be difficult for him to turn and attack a relative that asked for his help.
However, this is a necessary step for Father to unite the land. And by doing so, create a world of virtue.
Liu Feng: For Father, and for the people, I must do what I can to help.
Private: I feel sorry for Liu Feng. They bring him in, and now he's not needed.
Private: If anything, he's in the way. I just hope he watches his back.
Corporal: I have served Lord Liu Bei faithfully. Never before have I gone behind his back.
But I know that this land is essential to his dreams.
For my lord, and for my family... I must help us build a land of virtue and benevolence!
Pang Tong: I suppose we should get moving. We're likely to be noticed if we just hang out around here.
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Mt. Dingjun (Huang Zhong)
Lieutenant: What a view... It's kind of spoiled by all those Wei soldiers, mind you.
Private: Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhuge Jin, looks exactly like a donkey! It's uncanny!
Private: The land we have all dreamed of is now closer than we ever imagined!
Private: Shields... I could do with one of those.
Lieutenant: All of these mighty warriors have been drawn here by the magnetism of Lord Liu Bei's personality.
Lieutenant: I have no idea what Lord Zhuge Liang is thinking. I mean, I know he's a genius, but...
Wei Yan: Liu Bei... gain land... People... happy...
I fight... Protect... Liu Bei...
Private: I hear you are skilled with all weapons, not just the bow. I'd love to see you fight with something really unique!
Private: They say Xiahou Yuan is quite an archer. Ha! He's no match for you, my lord!
Private: I hear there's some officer in the enemy ranks who likes to dance on the battlefield... I wonder what's wrong with him.
Ma Chao: I am indebted to Lord Liu Bei for taking me in. I will do what I must to aid Shu!
Private: Lord Ma Chao's father was killed by Cao Cao. He will be determined to have his revenge.
Fa Zheng: Cao Cao of Wei, Sun Quan of Wu and now Lord Liu Bei of Shu...
It is just as Lord Zhuge Liang predicted. The Three Kingdoms strategy has been realized.
Zhuge Liang: Now that our lord has a land of his own, morale is high amongst the people.
If we can win this battle, then we will be that much closer to uniting the land.
Lieutenant: If only Lord Pang Tong were alive...
Private: The enemy strategist is a man named Sima Yi. I wonder if he's any good.
Private: Lord Wei Yan's a bit frightening, but he's good to have on your side. Why does he hate Lord Zhuge Liang so?
Private: Check out his head - see that pointy bit. That means he's a rebel - he can't help it!
Major: My lord Liu Bei has truly gone up in the world. Now he is a mighty leader of men.
I remember him from the early days. At first it was just me and him against the world... With a few others.
But I know he values my support. The two of us have come a long way.
Huang Zhong: I'll show you all that I've still got what it takes! I'll do anything necessary to protect this land!
Let's go! Begin the march!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Fan Castle (Guan Yu)
Private: What's that in Lord Guan Suo's hair? A flower? Are we not supposed to mention it?
Private: The enemy commander is a mighty defensive force. Perhaps a water attack will loosen his defenses.
Guard: How many sons does Lord Guan Yu have again?
Guard: Four, I think. Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo and... Guan something.
Guard: Guan something?
Private: The rain is really coming down. We'll all catch our death of cold at this rate.
Private: Have you seen Lord Ma Liang's hair? He's starting to go grey.
Private: Lord Ma Liang is one of five brothers. Did you know that?
Ma Liang: Direct conflict will only result in heavy casualties... The key to victory will be the success of the flood attack.
Private: Rumor has it that Zhou Cang can run like the wind. They say he is almost a match for your Red Hare, my lord.
People like him will put me out of work.
Zhou Cang: Cao Ren is tightening his defenses at Fan Castle. We should focus on attacking Xiangyang first.
Liao Hua: Your sons... Their abilities on the battlefield are most impressive.
I have to say, they remind me of you. You must be proud to have not one, but two such magnificent sons.
Liao Hua: You should be proud of the sons you have raised.
Lieutenant: You have some new officers under your command this time, my lord. I hope they will prove to be up to your exacting standards.
Major: Lord Guan Yu! Over here! It's me!
You know, it's been so long since I left home. Remember those early days?
Looking at your sons, it takes me back to when we were their age.
I have two boys of my own now. I'd like to get home to them before they're all grown up.
Private: Lord Guan Ping is popular with the men. I'm sure they find his commitment to training commendable.
Private: Lord Guan Suo certainly has a way with the ladies. He's the talk of the town.
Guan Ping: Father, the preparations for the flood attack are complete!
Guan Suo: Our units are also in place around the enemy position!
Guan Yu: Most impressive, my sons.
Come! We must capture Fan Castle for the sake of our lord!
Battle of Tianshui (Zhuge Liang)
Major: Lord Liu Shan laughs a lot, doesn't he? I mean, that's a good thing, but it does make you wonder about him.
Zhao Yun: Master Zhuge Liang, now is our opportunity to realize Lord Liu Bei's dream.
To restore the Han Dynasty and build a land of peace and virtue. And to do so, we must first strike down Wei!
Xing Cai: Lord Liu Shan is a kind and gentle ruler.
Those who call him feebleminded simply don't know him like I do.
Private: I shall support Lord Liu Shan from the shadows.
Liu Shan: We are counting on you, Zhuge Liang. I look forward to seeing you in action.
Zhuge Liang: Leave it to me, Your Highness.
Private: My lady will soon be married to Lord Liu Shan. I must bury my feelings for her deep within my heart.
Private: Lady Xing Cai is just like her father: strong and courageous!
Private: It's lucky she doesn't look like him, though.
Private: Or have his personality.
Major: My lord, you remember me, right?
I intended to retire from the army, but my lord's death has convinced me to stay on.
I want my lord's dream to become a reality. For that dream, I will fight on!
Private: All I know is Lord Guan Suo is his third son - I forget the rest.
Nothing to report, sir!
(I'm 90% sure this is miscoded dialogue that should've been at Fan Castle. Because seriously, what the hell else is the point?)
Ma Su: I hear that Lord Liu Shan is labeled a fool by his people. Is he truly fit to serve as Emperor?
Zhuge Liang: Hold your tongue, Ma Su. Lord Liu Shan possesses a virtuous heart, much like his father before him.
And so he has vowed to carry on the will of our fallen lord.
Ma Su: Of course, my lord! Please, forgive my impudence!
Ma Su: I shall follow our lord to the far corners of the land if need be.
Private: I heard that Lord Liu Bei's final words were spoken to Lord Zhao Yun.
Private: Yes, they say he told him to look after his sons...
Oh, my lord! Please, pay no attention to us. We are but fools.
Lieutenant: I heard Lord Ma Liang was worried about his brother, and his youthful impetuosity.
Lieutenant: I wish Lord Liu Shan had a little more presence and authority. I fear the enemy thinks him a fool.
Private: I fear our leaders are seeing more of Lord Liu Bei in his son than is really there...
Ah, forgive me. I spoke out of turn.
Private: Wei is truly mighty. I fear the day when we can match them will never come.
Corporal: Together as one, we will crush Wei beneath our boots!
Private: A land of benevolence is within our grasp!
Private: The hated Wei must be destroyed!
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Bei's dreams have drawn the people together. Now that he is gone, I only hope his son can do the same.
Zhuge Liang: This is one battle we must win at all costs. If only for the sake of our former lord...
All units, prepare to march!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of the Wuzhang Plains (Jiang Wei)
Zhuge Liang: Now, Jiang Wei. Give the signal to march.
Jiang Wei: Yes, Prime Minister!
Major: I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village, in their Yellow Turbans...
But now Lord Liu Bei is dead. And his dreams have not been fulfilled...
I am an old man now. It is time to leave my dreams in the hands of my sons too.
Private: You are our hero, Father! We will carry on in your stead!
Private: Lord Liu Bei's dreams, and the dreams of our father... They will be realized yet!
Ma Dai: Sima Yi's not one to have a weakness in his defenses. We'll have to proceed carefully on this one.
Jiang Wei: The Prime Minister is counting on us to deliver. I refuse to let Sima Yi get the better of us!
Private: Lord Ma Dai is always so cheerful and happy, but the other day, he - ...
Oops! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about that! Forget I said anything!
Lieutenant: Lord Zhuge Liang asked Ma Dai to do a certain favor for him, of the, shall we say, secretive nature.
Uh, I shouldn't be telling you that. Don't worry about it, my lord.
Private: Oh look, a shooting star!
Uh-oh, isn't that bad luck...?
Wei Yan: I... fight... Enemy... must... die...!
Private: Lord Wei Yan took our lord's death hard... He was wild and out of control for a while there.
He's much better now though.
Lieutenant: If we defeat Wei today, the land our mighty forbearers dreamed of will become a reality!
Private: So you are the successor to Lord Zhuge Liang? We all have high hopes for you!
Private: Be prepared. You can never have too many weapons.
Guard: Did you know that I once ate Lady Yue Ying's cooking? It was delicious, but I don't know what it was.
Private: While Lord Zhuge Liang lives, Shu is in good hands. A land of virtue will surely be a reality soon!
Lieutenant: I am worried about Lord Zhuge Liang. I fear he is dangerously fatigued.
Yue Ying: Do not underestimate the cunning of Sima Yi. I am certain this will prove to be a difficult battle.
However, we must not let that deter us from victory. Lord Zhuge Liang is counting on us as well...
Yue Ying: My lord... Please take care of yourself...
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang tried to perform a ritual to extend his life by twelve years. But Wei Yan ruined it!
Private: Lady Yue Ying is said to be a genius inventor. A suitable wife for the Sleeping Dragon.
Jiang Wei: All units, prepare to march!
Guard: Understood!
Jiang Wei: Prime Minister... I shall do my best to live up to your expectations.
I've tried to preserve formatting (namely, the wonky text colors), but there is one thing I did add -- the green dialogue tag on anything said by Shu Guy, the true hero of the three kingdoms. :V
(Incidentally, if you ever find yourself having trouble answering the scholar's questions in conquest mode: talk to people in story mode. Seriously. Half of the shit they say is random trivia that doesn't come up in the game proper, but that appears in the scholar's quizzes!)
Yellow Turban Rebellion (Liu Bei)
Peasant: They are attacking nearby villages like common thugs. But the Imperial Army refuses to help us.
It's simply unbearable. How long must we live in such despair?
Peasant: Look at the size of these guys. They're like giants!
Private: Speak to the person with the red mark above their head to begin the battle. Here, that person is Lord Guan Yu.
Peasant: If you hadn't helped us... We owe you our lives.
Liu Bei: No, I am simply relieved that you are all okay. Are any of you injured?
Peasant: We are all fine thanks to you. You are a true hero.
Peasant: If you're going on ahead, please be careful. The leader of the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Jiao, is around here somewhere.
Peasant: Who are you all? I've never seen you before.
Peasant: I'm thinking of volunteering! I want to get out of this town, and make a name for myself!
Don't forget me, my lord! I'll fight to keep you safe!
Peasant: I'm just glad we were able to get the women and children to safety.
Peasant: I just wish they'd let us get on with tilling our fields. At this rate, we'll starve!
Peasant: The Imperial Army is just a bunch of bullies. Can we really trust them to defeat the Yellow Turbans?
Peasant: Is the imperial court just going to abandon us?
Peasant: The rebellion of the Yellow Turbans is just another sign that this land is in turmoil.
Peasant: Lord Jian Yong has always been with you, hasn't he, my lord? You're from the same town, right?
Peasant: I can't thank you enough! You've really saved us!
Peasant: Most of the Yellow Turbans are just peasants. They just don't have enough food to get by!
Guan Yu: Brother, we have fallen behind the Imperial Army considerably. We must pick up the pace and catch up.
Zhang Fei: What's the big hurry?
It's not like they care anyway. We're simply volunteer soldiers. They probably aren't even missing us.
Liu Bei: No, he is right. We must hurry and catch up with everybody.
Zhang Fei: You're too serious! Well, at least I'll get to go out there and see some action!
Elimination of Dong Zhuo (Guan Yu)
Zhang Fei: Of course, it's all to help Brother make a name for himself! Any personal satisfaction I get is merely a bonus!
Guan Yu: Try not to get ahead of yourself. Our actions reflect on Brother, whether for better or for worse.
Zhang Fei: You think I don't know that? Man, you guys need to lighten up a little!
Zhang Fei: C'mon already! I can't stand waiting around here much longer!
Liu Bei: The people are suffering at the hands of Dong Zhuo. We must defeat him in order to save them!
Private: My lord, it's me! Don't you remember me?
After you saved me, I volunteered. Today's my first day in the army!
Private: I'm ready to fight for the glory of Lord Liu Bei!
Gongsun Zan: I am surprised to see so many warriors here. If I can stand out from the crowd, I will be rewarded handsomely.
Private: I hear Lord Gongsun Zan and Lord Liu Bei are old friends from their schooldays.
Private: That Dong Zhuo's a monster... He doesn't even look human!
Private: I hear the enemy is loaded with mighty warriors. I don't see how we stand a chance!
Lieutenant: So that's Cao Cao... Look at his eyes - they're so cold and calculating.
Lieutenant: Lord Cao Cao will be a great hero one day. You'd do well to remember his name.
Cao Cao: Things are not finished just because we defeated Dong Zhuo. The chaos will continue until we can plant the lasting roots of peace.
(I assume a tense screw-up in the translation here, because...getting a little ahead of ourselves, aren't we, Mengde? :|a )
Private: Looks like Lord Zhang Fei's kept away from the drink. That's a relief.
Private: Those monsters burned my house to the ground. There's nothing I can do now but fight!
Private: Urgh... This is my first battle. I'm so nervous...
Private: Wow... Look at all these famous warriors! So, who are you?
Private: What's taking so long? Let's get started!
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Bei saved us! We are eternally grateful!
We were on the verge of death in this cold, with nothing to eat.
Lord Liu Bei is a hero to us all!
Private: Now that is a horse. I wish I had one like that.
Guard: I notice Liu Yan is conspicuous by his absence... Just where is he?
Dian Wei: Hm? Can I help you with something?
Private: Lord Yuan Shao's giving a speech! Won't you stay and listen?
Guard: Yes... He's convinced me. Mind you, I'm a sucker for the nobility.
Yuan Shao: Rest assured, we are fighting for the most righteous of causes!
Fear not! Step forth and be proud! For to battle we march!
Battle of Xu Province (Zhang Fei)
Jian Yong: Lord Zhao Yun is an example to us all!
Lieutenant: Lord Zhao Yun has great respect for Lord Liu Bei.
Lieutenant: Yes, I'm sure he understands our lord's anger.
Peasant: My house... Now what am I supposed to do?
Zhang Fei: Look at this place... The bodies are just piling up on each other.
Guan Yu: It's as Lord Tao Qian said. Cao Cao's army is nearly invincible, and shows no mercy.
He kills every last one of his enemies. That is the only way he knows how to fight a battle.
Zhang Fei: This guy makes me sick... He's nothing like Brother.
Private: Lord Guan Yu is so calm. Or maybe he's just suppressing his rage...
Lieutenant: Cao Cao is truly heartless. To have wreaked such destruction in such a short time...
Private: They say Lord Liu Bei used to be a sandal salesman. That doesn't sound right...
Peasant: This well's useless now...
Peasant: You want water? Sorry, it's all dried up.
Peasant: Argh! Please... Just leave me alone!
Peasant: His family was killed in front of his eyes. Just leave him in his grief.
Peasant: Cao Cao's a monster! My family, they're, they're...!
Private: Lord Liu Bei, it's me! You remember me, right?
My village was overrun by the Yellow Turbans, remember? But if anything, this is even worse...
I'm worried about my friend back home. Maybe I'll write a letter.
Liu Bei: If he truly is that powerful, then we will have no choice but to eliminate him.
That is the message we shall send to Cao Cao in this battle!
Liu Bei: Using strength to simply smash your opponents... That is how Cao Cao fights?
Zhao Yun: Lord Liu Bei is a man of emotion. To think that he would help these people despite having no relationship to them...
Zhang Fei: Why do you think we follow him?!
Zhao Yun: I wish I was as content as you are. You have been blessed to serve such a benevolent lord.
Zhang Fei: In that case, why don't you join us? I'm sure Brother would love to have you!
Zhao Yun: Perhaps someday... For now, let us go, Zhang Fei!
Battle of Xiapi (Guan Yu)
Private: They say Lu Bu has a beautiful woman at his side. They always go for the strong ones, don't they...
Lieutenant: Lord Cao Cao thinks you could be a great warrior, my lord. Have you considered a change of allegiances?
Private: I don't trust him. I don't forget easily, believe me.
Private: Zhang Liao is supposed to be strong too... Oh, not as strong as you, my lord.
Private: I'll never forget what Cao Cao did in Xu Province... And now we have to fight with him?
Zhang Fei: You're gonna pay for stealing our brother's land! Everybody, no one touches Lu Bu except for me!
Liu Bei: I never expected Cao Cao to aid us in reclaiming Xu... I must convey my gratitude to him.
Private: Lord Liu Bei, it's me! You remember me, right?
I got a letter back from my friend. Turns out her family was all okay.
And so I wrote back to her... And I asked her to marry me after this battle!
Hey, I could be dead tomorrow. I have to live while I can.
Private: Lord Liu Bei can't really trust Cao Cao, can he?
Private: Lord Liu Bei's too gullible. Lu Bu used him, then threw him aside.
Private: Cao Cao doesn't do anything for nothing. He'll have an angle, I guarantee it.
Guo Jia: I hear that Zhang Liao is a most capable warrior. Why would such a man be serving underneath Lu Bu?
Private: You see that man over there? That's Lord Cao Cao's strategist. He's still young, but he's cunning like a fox!
Lieutenant: If he was going to go to Cao Cao for help in the end, then why did he ever fight him in the first place?
Xiahou Dun: We've received a report from our scouts. It appears that an unknown army is headed this way.
I'd bet my life that they are enemy reinforcements. We must hurry and bring an end to this battle.
Xiahou Dun: Hmph... What are you still doing here?
Private: Lu Bu is a mighty warrior. Train hard, men - your life may depend on it!
Private: My plan is, as soon as I see Lu Bu, I turn and run for my life.
Private: I am a warrior! I am not afraid... to run away like a little girl!
Private: It's all about balance, you know? Fight a little, run away a little...
Private: I-It's Lu Bu! By the time I yell that, I'll probably already be dead.
Lieutenant: So, you're the man they call the God of War... Hmph. Well, you look pretty tough, I guess.
Lieutenant: For my lords Liu Bei and Cao Cao to join forces... This Lu Bu must be a truly frightening man.
Cao Cao: Xiapi is a castle surrounded by water. If we flood it, it will quickly fall before us.
Then we simply need to finish off Lu Bu once he's exhausted his troops.
Guan Yu: However, Lu Bu is one of the mightiest warriors this land has ever seen. Even if our plan is successful, we mustn't let down our guard.
Cao Cao: Indeed. Most perceptive of you.
However, we have no time to waste. We must begin the attack.
Battle of Guandu (Zhao Yun)
Liu Bei: Zhao Yun, I am pleased that you have come to join us.
However, because of me, Guan Yu is missing...
Zhao Yun: You need not say anything more, my lord.
Lord Guan Yu will return to your side in time. You simply need to be patient.
Liu Bei: You're right. Please forgive my moment of weakness.
Zhang Fei: This doesn't bode well... It really has got Brother down.
Urgh... I feel like smashing something!
Private: My lord, my lord! Remember me? My friend wrote back to me!
Uh, yeah... She said something about just being friends...
But I'm not giving up! If we win this war, and I become a hero, she'll change her mind for sure!
Guard: Without Lord Guan Yu, you're the only one we can rely on, my lord!
Private: Where's Lord Zhang He? I wonder if he has some secret plan.
Private: Who knows? Good luck trying to work out how he thinks.
Yan Liang: I don't care who stands before us. They will all fall like lambs to the slaughter.
Wen Chou: No man can stand against the likes of Yan Liang and myself, not even Cao Cao and all of his troops.
Private: I heard Lord Liu Bei praise you, my lord!
Private: Yes, he said you were courage personified!
Private: Lord Yuan Shao's son is so lucky... He's married to the famous Lady Zhen, you know.
Private: She's not just beautiful, you know. She can do some serious damage on the battlefield. That's the kind of wife I want.
Private: Lord Guan Yu! I wonder where he could have gone...
Private: Lord Zhang Fei's terrifying when he's been drinking. And it's getting worse.
Private: That's a good little horse.
Private: It's not little. You should say, that horse is good.
Guo Tu: Come on you wet blankets! Cao Cao's not going to defeat himself!
Guard: Our lord may act all high and mighty, but deep down he's a kind man. That's why he has our respect.
Private: Once Cao Cao is gone, this land will belong to you, my lord!
Private: Cao Cao will be crushed before Lord Yuan Shao's might!
Private: None can match your glorious nobility, my lord!
Yuan Shao: Cao Cao... For too long now, you have stood in my way! Finally, I will rid myself of your meddlesome presence!
Your pathetic army is nothing before me. Now you shall witness the power of the nobility!
Battle of Xinye (Zhang Fei)
Zhang Fei: Who the hell are you?
Xu Shu: I will get to that eventually. But first, we must defeat Cao Cao.
Zhang Fei: Well, that goes without saying. But why are you the one giving the orders?
Xu Shu: I harbor no ill will towards Lord Liu Bei. I simply am asking you to trust me.
Zhao Yun: Xu Shu is a talented strategist. He is certain to assist our lord's efforts.
Zhang Fei: Hmm... I wonder...
Private: My lord, it's me! I've been promoted to captain!
And have you met my wife? She's just over here!
Cheer up, my lord! It'll happen for you too!
(Yeah, I guess the dialogue tags weren't informed of his promotion yet.)
Liu Bei: Is Cao Cao the one destined to rule the land? If so, then I fear this chaos will never come to an end...
However, I possess not the strength to oppose him. This is my chance, yet I am unable to take advantage of it.
Is this as far as I am fated to come...?
Guan Yu: Brother...
Private: Who is that Xu Shu? I mean, he seems trustworthy...
Private: Just what is Lord Xu Shu doing here? What's he up to?
Lieutenant: Until Cao Cao is gone, our lord will never have peace of mind.
Private: Lord Guan Yu's back, but now our lord has more worries on his mind...
Lieutenant: Cao Cao's army's full of well-trained troops. And look at us!
Lieutenant: We need a plan... Some way of overcoming our lack of numbers and inexperience...
Lieutentant: Our lord's indecision is palpable. He is losing his way...
Private: I'd like to help our lord out, but I just don't know what to do.
Private: Love never changed anything. If we don't do something, we'll be swept aside.
Private: My lord, is it true you once whipped Cao Bao for refusing a drink? No, I'm sure you were right to do it...
Private: The people love Lord Liu Bei. But that's all he has.
Private: I've been thinking about it for ages, and I just don't know what we should do next!
Private: If you're feeling down, you could always try a new weapon. Slice away the gloom, and all that.
Zhang Fei: Alright then, let's go and do this! I'll plough through Cao Cao's army by myself if I have to!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Chibi (Zhao Yun)
Guard: I'm sorry, my lord, you can't go any further.
Zhuge Liang: With this battle, we must set the stage for the Three Kingdoms to be formed. However, Cao Cao will not make it easy for us...
Zhao Yun: Lord Strategist?
Zhuge Liang: Never mind. It's nothing.
Zhang Fei: Why does the fire attack have to wait for the wind?
Zhao Yun: If we start the fire now, it will simply turn back upon us.
Zhang Fei: I don't believe all this prayer nonsense is going to change the winds. Are you sure we can trust this guy?
Private: I just hope Lord Zhang Fei doesn't take out his anger on me!
Private: Lord Zhang Fei used to sell meat and wine...
I bet he drank more than he sold, huh?
I wonder what made him decide to become a warrior.
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Qi was sent away by his father, and has taken refuge with our lord.
Lieutenant: He is a wise and courteous man.
Private: Can we really win this? Looking at Cao Cao's fleet, I just feel a bit...
Private: Making winds blow... It sounds like the black arts to me!
Private: What's with all the secrecy? I don't like that Zhuge Liang!
Corporal: My lord, it's me! You probably don't remember me, I guess.
I've been with Lord Liu Bei since the Yellow Turbans, but I've never been so scared...
I have a wife and children, you know... I can't afford to die.
But I suppose I must have faith, and fight!
Liu Qi: Lord Zhao Yun, how goes Lord Zhuge Liang's preparations?
Zhao Yun: He has just begun the prayer ceremony. It's all up to him now.
Messenger: Lord Zhao Yun!
I come with orders from Lord Zhuge Liang. He wishes us to quietly begin the march.
Zhao Yun: Quietly?
Messenger: We are to work our way around to Cao Cao's escape route. And he wants us to strike before Sun Quan's army can.
Zhao Yun: I understand. I will leave Lord Zhang Fei in charge of guarding the prayer ceremony.
Messenger: Yes, my lord!
Zhao Yun: Lord Liu Qi. Will you please lend me your strength?
Liu Qi: Of course, Lord Zhao Yun!
Zhao Yun: You have my gratitude. Now, we must hurry!
Battle of Chibi (Guan Yu)
Lieutenant: Your son is a fine warrior, my lord. He takes after you.
Lieutenant: And what of your second son? Is he still too young to fight?
Private: I can't believe we actually beat them...
Zhuge Liang: I ask that you do it for the sake of our lord.
Zhao Yun: I have failed in my task... There is no excuse.
Liu Qi: Lord Zhang Fei has gone on ahead. We must pick up the pace if we are to catch up in time.
Guard: That Cao Cao sure can run fast.
Guard: I saw you playing Go with Ma Liang the other day, my lord. Did you win?
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang is so calm... It seems like he expected to win all along.
Lieutenant: I hear you owe a debt of gratitude to Lord Cao Cao, my lord. But please, show him no mercy!
Corporal: It's me, my lord! You remember me, from the Yellow Turbans?
Come, my lord. We must give chase. Together we will claim victory, and I will regain the respect of my family!
Private: A merchant here?! Now that's dedication!
Guan Ping: Cao Cao couldn't have gotten very far. Father, let's hurry after him!
Guan Yu: Hmph. Now, to Cao Cao!
Battle of Luo Castle (Pang Tong)
Wei Yan: For Liu Bei... I... fight... Enemy... die...
Pang Tong: That's the spirit, Wei Yan. But try not to focus too much on achievements. It's the end result that counts.
This is dangerous terrain to fight on. We could find ourselves in the hands of an enemy trap.
Wei Yan: Grr... Understood...
Huang Zhong: Liu Zhang is merely an indecisive fool. Both the people and even his own men are calling for our lord to replace him.
Why is he the only one who doesn't see it?
Pang Tong: He is a man of virtue. The situation he now finds himself in is at odds with that virtue.
Well, if it is to help him realize his ideals, then I suppose we should pitch in and help him.
Huang Zhong: Indeed. We simply need to take the castle ourselves. If we do so, then surely he will do what is needed to occupy the lands of Shu.
Private: Lord Wei Yan is so loyal to our lord. The spirit of benevolence must be strong in him.
Fa Zheng: This place is known for its natural defenses... The enemy trap could be anywhere.
Private: We have some former retainers of Liu Zhang in our ranks. They will be valuable in this battle.
Guard: The contrast couldn't be greater; our lord, with his spirit of benevolence, and Liu Zhang, the very picture of incompetence.
Private: I only hope our lord won't be angry that we didn't tell him about this attack.
Lieutenant: Sometimes, families fall apart. It can't be helped.
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang knows about this, right? So the only one who's in the dark, is...
Private: Have you seen the vegetable patch over there?
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang is making us grow turnips. They're supposed to be good for us.
Private: Lord Liu Feng is Lord Liu Bei's adopted son. Of course, now Liu Bei has his own son...
Liu Feng: It must be difficult for him to turn and attack a relative that asked for his help.
However, this is a necessary step for Father to unite the land. And by doing so, create a world of virtue.
Liu Feng: For Father, and for the people, I must do what I can to help.
Private: I feel sorry for Liu Feng. They bring him in, and now he's not needed.
Private: If anything, he's in the way. I just hope he watches his back.
Corporal: I have served Lord Liu Bei faithfully. Never before have I gone behind his back.
But I know that this land is essential to his dreams.
For my lord, and for my family... I must help us build a land of virtue and benevolence!
Pang Tong: I suppose we should get moving. We're likely to be noticed if we just hang out around here.
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Mt. Dingjun (Huang Zhong)
Lieutenant: What a view... It's kind of spoiled by all those Wei soldiers, mind you.
Private: Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhuge Jin, looks exactly like a donkey! It's uncanny!
Private: The land we have all dreamed of is now closer than we ever imagined!
Private: Shields... I could do with one of those.
Lieutenant: All of these mighty warriors have been drawn here by the magnetism of Lord Liu Bei's personality.
Lieutenant: I have no idea what Lord Zhuge Liang is thinking. I mean, I know he's a genius, but...
Wei Yan: Liu Bei... gain land... People... happy...
I fight... Protect... Liu Bei...
Private: I hear you are skilled with all weapons, not just the bow. I'd love to see you fight with something really unique!
Private: They say Xiahou Yuan is quite an archer. Ha! He's no match for you, my lord!
Private: I hear there's some officer in the enemy ranks who likes to dance on the battlefield... I wonder what's wrong with him.
Ma Chao: I am indebted to Lord Liu Bei for taking me in. I will do what I must to aid Shu!
Private: Lord Ma Chao's father was killed by Cao Cao. He will be determined to have his revenge.
Fa Zheng: Cao Cao of Wei, Sun Quan of Wu and now Lord Liu Bei of Shu...
It is just as Lord Zhuge Liang predicted. The Three Kingdoms strategy has been realized.
Zhuge Liang: Now that our lord has a land of his own, morale is high amongst the people.
If we can win this battle, then we will be that much closer to uniting the land.
Lieutenant: If only Lord Pang Tong were alive...
Private: The enemy strategist is a man named Sima Yi. I wonder if he's any good.
Private: Lord Wei Yan's a bit frightening, but he's good to have on your side. Why does he hate Lord Zhuge Liang so?
Private: Check out his head - see that pointy bit. That means he's a rebel - he can't help it!
Major: My lord Liu Bei has truly gone up in the world. Now he is a mighty leader of men.
I remember him from the early days. At first it was just me and him against the world... With a few others.
But I know he values my support. The two of us have come a long way.
Huang Zhong: I'll show you all that I've still got what it takes! I'll do anything necessary to protect this land!
Let's go! Begin the march!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of Fan Castle (Guan Yu)
Private: What's that in Lord Guan Suo's hair? A flower? Are we not supposed to mention it?
Private: The enemy commander is a mighty defensive force. Perhaps a water attack will loosen his defenses.
Guard: How many sons does Lord Guan Yu have again?
Guard: Four, I think. Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan Suo and... Guan something.
Guard: Guan something?
Private: The rain is really coming down. We'll all catch our death of cold at this rate.
Private: Have you seen Lord Ma Liang's hair? He's starting to go grey.
Private: Lord Ma Liang is one of five brothers. Did you know that?
Ma Liang: Direct conflict will only result in heavy casualties... The key to victory will be the success of the flood attack.
Private: Rumor has it that Zhou Cang can run like the wind. They say he is almost a match for your Red Hare, my lord.
People like him will put me out of work.
Zhou Cang: Cao Ren is tightening his defenses at Fan Castle. We should focus on attacking Xiangyang first.
Liao Hua: Your sons... Their abilities on the battlefield are most impressive.
I have to say, they remind me of you. You must be proud to have not one, but two such magnificent sons.
Liao Hua: You should be proud of the sons you have raised.
Lieutenant: You have some new officers under your command this time, my lord. I hope they will prove to be up to your exacting standards.
Major: Lord Guan Yu! Over here! It's me!
You know, it's been so long since I left home. Remember those early days?
Looking at your sons, it takes me back to when we were their age.
I have two boys of my own now. I'd like to get home to them before they're all grown up.
Private: Lord Guan Ping is popular with the men. I'm sure they find his commitment to training commendable.
Private: Lord Guan Suo certainly has a way with the ladies. He's the talk of the town.
Guan Ping: Father, the preparations for the flood attack are complete!
Guan Suo: Our units are also in place around the enemy position!
Guan Yu: Most impressive, my sons.
Come! We must capture Fan Castle for the sake of our lord!
Battle of Tianshui (Zhuge Liang)
Major: Lord Liu Shan laughs a lot, doesn't he? I mean, that's a good thing, but it does make you wonder about him.
Zhao Yun: Master Zhuge Liang, now is our opportunity to realize Lord Liu Bei's dream.
To restore the Han Dynasty and build a land of peace and virtue. And to do so, we must first strike down Wei!
Xing Cai: Lord Liu Shan is a kind and gentle ruler.
Those who call him feebleminded simply don't know him like I do.
Private: I shall support Lord Liu Shan from the shadows.
Liu Shan: We are counting on you, Zhuge Liang. I look forward to seeing you in action.
Zhuge Liang: Leave it to me, Your Highness.
Private: My lady will soon be married to Lord Liu Shan. I must bury my feelings for her deep within my heart.
Private: Lady Xing Cai is just like her father: strong and courageous!
Private: It's lucky she doesn't look like him, though.
Private: Or have his personality.
Major: My lord, you remember me, right?
I intended to retire from the army, but my lord's death has convinced me to stay on.
I want my lord's dream to become a reality. For that dream, I will fight on!
Private: All I know is Lord Guan Suo is his third son - I forget the rest.
Nothing to report, sir!
(I'm 90% sure this is miscoded dialogue that should've been at Fan Castle. Because seriously, what the hell else is the point?)
Ma Su: I hear that Lord Liu Shan is labeled a fool by his people. Is he truly fit to serve as Emperor?
Zhuge Liang: Hold your tongue, Ma Su. Lord Liu Shan possesses a virtuous heart, much like his father before him.
And so he has vowed to carry on the will of our fallen lord.
Ma Su: Of course, my lord! Please, forgive my impudence!
Ma Su: I shall follow our lord to the far corners of the land if need be.
Private: I heard that Lord Liu Bei's final words were spoken to Lord Zhao Yun.
Private: Yes, they say he told him to look after his sons...
Oh, my lord! Please, pay no attention to us. We are but fools.
Lieutenant: I heard Lord Ma Liang was worried about his brother, and his youthful impetuosity.
Lieutenant: I wish Lord Liu Shan had a little more presence and authority. I fear the enemy thinks him a fool.
Private: I fear our leaders are seeing more of Lord Liu Bei in his son than is really there...
Ah, forgive me. I spoke out of turn.
Private: Wei is truly mighty. I fear the day when we can match them will never come.
Corporal: Together as one, we will crush Wei beneath our boots!
Private: A land of benevolence is within our grasp!
Private: The hated Wei must be destroyed!
Lieutenant: Lord Liu Bei's dreams have drawn the people together. Now that he is gone, I only hope his son can do the same.
Zhuge Liang: This is one battle we must win at all costs. If only for the sake of our former lord...
All units, prepare to march!
Guard: Understood!
Battle of the Wuzhang Plains (Jiang Wei)
Zhuge Liang: Now, Jiang Wei. Give the signal to march.
Jiang Wei: Yes, Prime Minister!
Major: I was just a boy when the infidels came to my village, in their Yellow Turbans...
But now Lord Liu Bei is dead. And his dreams have not been fulfilled...
I am an old man now. It is time to leave my dreams in the hands of my sons too.
Private: You are our hero, Father! We will carry on in your stead!
Private: Lord Liu Bei's dreams, and the dreams of our father... They will be realized yet!
Ma Dai: Sima Yi's not one to have a weakness in his defenses. We'll have to proceed carefully on this one.
Jiang Wei: The Prime Minister is counting on us to deliver. I refuse to let Sima Yi get the better of us!
Private: Lord Ma Dai is always so cheerful and happy, but the other day, he - ...
Oops! I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about that! Forget I said anything!
Lieutenant: Lord Zhuge Liang asked Ma Dai to do a certain favor for him, of the, shall we say, secretive nature.
Uh, I shouldn't be telling you that. Don't worry about it, my lord.
Private: Oh look, a shooting star!
Uh-oh, isn't that bad luck...?
Wei Yan: I... fight... Enemy... must... die...!
Private: Lord Wei Yan took our lord's death hard... He was wild and out of control for a while there.
He's much better now though.
Lieutenant: If we defeat Wei today, the land our mighty forbearers dreamed of will become a reality!
Private: So you are the successor to Lord Zhuge Liang? We all have high hopes for you!
Private: Be prepared. You can never have too many weapons.
Guard: Did you know that I once ate Lady Yue Ying's cooking? It was delicious, but I don't know what it was.
Private: While Lord Zhuge Liang lives, Shu is in good hands. A land of virtue will surely be a reality soon!
Lieutenant: I am worried about Lord Zhuge Liang. I fear he is dangerously fatigued.
Yue Ying: Do not underestimate the cunning of Sima Yi. I am certain this will prove to be a difficult battle.
However, we must not let that deter us from victory. Lord Zhuge Liang is counting on us as well...
Yue Ying: My lord... Please take care of yourself...
Private: Lord Zhuge Liang tried to perform a ritual to extend his life by twelve years. But Wei Yan ruined it!
Private: Lady Yue Ying is said to be a genius inventor. A suitable wife for the Sleeping Dragon.
Jiang Wei: All units, prepare to march!
Guard: Understood!
Jiang Wei: Prime Minister... I shall do my best to live up to your expectations.
