History WMG / DynastyWarriors

*** Actually, the color of his clothes have nothing to do with his allegiance. Kind of similar to how Superman is often depicted in red and blue, Zhao Yun is always seen wearing white and blue armor.

* Think about it, how come he appears from Yellow Turban Rebellion all the way to Zhong Hui's Rebellion (about 80 years) without aging one bit? This guy probably comes from the future and disguises himself as a soldier of the player's side to learn more about the history of the era by experiencing the battles firsthand, considering he's a history buff.

** An advisor and regent of Shu who was able to have Jiang Wei's intial campaigns be successful against Wei. Was placed in charge of fiances after Zhuge Liang's death and was able to keep The Country afloat. His murder at a banquet by a fake deflector of Wei proved to be disatrious to Shu. His character would be one who helps keep Jiang Wei in line so he doesn't get too aggressive and a Hypothetical scenario would be stopping his murder from happening.

** ''Ravages'' reference, perhaps?

** Coincidentally enough, this [[spoiler:is one of the running subplots in ''Manhua/RavagesOfTime'']] -- although Zhao Yun [[spoiler:aka Liaoyuan Huo, by chapter 386 seems to have had Liu Bei's righteousness rub off on him]], and [[spoiler:it's more about Zhao Yun building up Liu Bei as a powerful rival to Cao Cao so that Sima Yi can move up Cao Cao's ranks to set up a coup]].

** One of the outstanding strategist serving under Cao Cao. He play an importance role of Wei early story, especially in Battle of Puyang. Also, he is popular enough to be the second place in dynasty warriors 8 wishlist, trailing only Chen Gong.

** An officer who defect from Wei to Shu in Battle of Han Zhong. He play an very importance role in Zhuge Liang's Northern Expeditions, especailly in Battle of Jieting. Also, he is the commander the battle of Mt. Xingshi in both 7 and 8, despise being an genetic officer. He also have grudge against Xu Huang base on the fact that the later contribute to his utimate defection to shu.

* He Jin
** Commanded the Imperial Army against the Yellow Turbans, though got assassinated by the Eunuchs cause they were threatened by him. His musou mode would consist of him beating the Yellow Turbans and surviving his encounter with the Eunuchs to go on and unify China. Don't know what his personality would be like though, but this troper would make him a bit of a jerkass who loathes having to fight his enemies himself.

* Zhang Liang or Zhang Bao
** Zhang Jiao's two brothers and the closest thing to generals in the Yellow Turbans. Possibilities for individual story modes could be either the Way of Peace spreading throughout China (possibly even displacing the Three Kingdoms setup altogether) or one brother or the other dealing with Jiao's death after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Chances of them ending up joining Wei or Wu would be fairly decent; Shu's just out of the question simply because of Liu Bei's lineage.

* Sha Moke
** King of a barbarian tribe who allied with Liu Bei who killed Gan Ning and was cut down by Zhou Tai. His musou mode would consist of him surviving past Yi Ling and having a rivarly with Meng Huo over their tribes and after Nanzhong is subdued move on to conquer Wei at Jie Ting
* Huang Hao
** The scheming corrupt advisor of Liu Shan who through bribes from Wei stopped Jiang Wei's campaigns preventing him from getting any ground in the war during the later periods. His musou mode would consist of him pretending to be on and support Shu's side while at the same time planting seeds of doubt within Liu Shan about Jiang's ability to lead. But Karma will catch up to him in the end when its revealed he's been accepting bribes and either Sima Zhao will cut him down [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted with his methods]] or Jiang Wei slays him and proves his treachery.
* Zhou Fang
** The Wu Vassal who cut off his long hair as a symbol of defection and in turn tricked Wei and achieved a great victory. His mode would consist of him at battles such as He Fei and Yi Ling for Wu and have a cutscene where in front of Wei soldiers and Generals such as Sima Yi, he cuts off his hair to show his change of allegiance (Having two models, one with long hair the other with short) and then at the battle shows his true loyalty to Wu and cuts down Cao Xiu at Shi Ting.

[[WMG:Koei-Tecmo will soon spin off the ''Warriors'' series to include the American Civil War]]
An entry from the DynastyWarriors YMMV page gives an interesting take on this:
-->Imagine if you will a similar game based on the American Civil War, where you get to play as Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Nathan Bedford Forrest, Ulysses S. Grant, and William Sherman as gun-toting badasses, and Abe Lincoln gets reimagined as leading from the battlefront wielding twin laser-sighted M1s. Then imagine the game based not on the actual history, but on a unashamed rule of cool romanticized novelization of the history, written in 2850 A.D. (i.e. a thousand years after the historical events have passed into oral legend). Then, imagine that instead of two sides, there are three (North, South, and WEST!) and instead of 5 years or so, it lasts 100...
More realistically, Koei-Tecmo can slightly romanticize the events of the American Civil War for the sake of a video game. Though the mentions of slavery could be a sensitive subject, especially in a video game, it is a central theme of the war to begin with, Possible names for the game:
* ''Civil Warriors: America''
* ''Dynasty Warriors: America''
* The Japanese name of the game would be 南北戦争無双 (''nanbokusensoumusou'', literally "American Civil War Unmatched/Musou")
Koei has already spun off the ''Warriors'' series to include the Warring States period of Japan, the Hundred Years' War, the Trojan War, as well as a series with Franchise/{{Gundam}}, OnePiece, and FistOfTheNorthStar. The American Civil War is the next obvious step from here...

[[WMG:If there is [=DW8=], Shu will receive a lot of TokenEvilTeammate]]

Come on, as if this isn't obvious enough. They could add in either Mi Fang or Fu Shiren (the two dudes who betrayed Guan Yu and caused his eventual downfall), though as they try to make this world of woobie, the two can receive more positive treatment and end up like JerkassWoobie. Aside of that, since Jin is on the fray now, they can also add Huang Hao, who'll rival Dong Zhuo in terms of evil (in a way of EvilChancellor than EvilOverlord), probably lifting some crazy things given to Jiang Wei in 7, as well as making even [[TheStarscream Zhong Hui]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards be completely disgusted at him.]]
* {{Jossed}}, but not completely. There's always DW9 in the future. Or XL.
