Thank heavens for the "encyclopedia" feature in dynasty warriors

* Omnipresent in ''Videogame/DynastyWarriors'' appropriately enough:
** Shu's original Emperor was Liu Bei, he was later succeeded by his ShelteredAristocrat SuckSessor PuppetKing Liu Shan. What brings their empire's demise through is his surrender to Wei during the Battle of Chengdu. Though Jiang Wei, the brains of Shu at that time, didn't surrender and attempted a last ditch effort to reinstante Shu by getting General Zhong Hui to rebel against Wei, but they were discovered and both got killed.
** Wei has the most complicated dynasty depicted in the games. First off, the first Wei Emperors were Cao Pi, then his son Cao Rui, then, Rui's adopted son Cao Fang(who was deposed offscreen). Wei's dynasty underwent several infightings (The Regent Cao Shuang's Coup where he attempted to use the 8 year old Fang as PuppetKing. Guanqiu Jian and Wen Qin's Rebellion) until Cao Fang's son, Cao Mao, was put on the throne, since he wanted the Cao family back in power, at that time, the Sima clan are pretty much the ones ruling wei, so he had General Zhuge Dan start a coup under his name. This act got him killed, and he was replaced by Cao Huan, who's role in the game is to be mentioned to have abdicated his throne to Sima Yan, son of Sima Zhao. This is also pretty much Jin's story as well, since their story ends at the foundation of Jin.
** Wu comes second in complexity. First Emperor Sun Quan's eldest died, Sun He, the second was disinherited, leaving Sun Liang(still a kid) as the only successor. So Wu appointed Zhuge Ke as a guardian, and pretty making him de facto ruler of Wu. However, he was usurped and killed by Sun Jun. Jun then got sick and was replaced bu Sun Chen, but Liang got tired of his selfishness and had him deposed but this was discovered and he was forced to abdicate to Sun Xiu. Chen grew more powerful because of this, but since he was a dick, he was charged of treason and got executed. next comes Sun Hao, a grandchild of Quan. The guy was thought to have been a good person but he ruled with tyrrany as soon as he got the position. Once news of this got into Jin's Sima Yan, he decided to put an end to Wu's suffering and finally united China.
