* Didn'tThinkThisThrough: Jiang Wei's plan to capture his [[FoeRomanceSubtext archenemy]] Deng Ai requires him to give a known double agent command of Shu's supply line and place said double agent between the main army and their home base. This ends exactly well as one would expect.
Added DiffLines:
* GeneralFailure: Jiang Wei is a frothing warmonger who runs Shu's economy into the ground with his endless failed campaigns against Wei. Most of them are either hopeless to begin with, or ruined by his incompetence.
