Relying on technology would be idiocy.
The Crossbow is technically a higher technology than a longbow-
Easily used and reliable. Doesn't require too much training.
But the longbow was a better weapon- and the French learned that at Cresse.
@Fox: Considering its' Dynasty-Warriors China, it isn't too bad?
I mean- it is certainly something that allowed Lingqi to expand and hold a Kingdom- but now I treat that timeline as being a Four-Kingdoms period rather than three.

The thing is, the technology will probably be viewed with a bit more confusion of sorts
So they will likely use it in style of archer companies than modern fireteams
And machineguns as a form of cannons or faster firing ballistaes
Since the technology development outstrips tactics and strategy
всегда верен@Bcom: If you're approaching it from a historical standpoint- prepare to most likely adore Cao Cao and hate Liu Bei.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?@Bcom: That's how he's portrayed in most fiction.
But seriously-
He cites the sources and such.
And well- recently in Dynasty Warriors, Cao Cao has become downright heroic in some regards.
In fact, he's pretty much in my top 5 favorites, I'd probably say number 1.

I wouldn't necessarily say that.
People in older time periods aren't necessarily idiots-
They might not have too much knowledge, but their intelligence can still secure against some mistakes.
Its' certainly possible for that to happen though. But not assured.
