THE GUIDE+ offers frequent tutorial content about the game mechanics, the current meta, tactics, FUT, trading, mentality tips and many more topics. What makes our app so useful in terms of the learning experience is that we will make sure you actually understand the content by providing well-designed interactive quizzes after every lesson to verify your learnings. The second big W is our courses section. We do not just publish videos & articles in a random order - we arrange them within coherent, well-structured courses. And if you finish a course, for example on how to become rock solid in defending, you earn badges. Your progress in the different courses will be tracked, so you’ll always have a good overview. Last but not least you will also find many like-minded players to engage with in the comment sections and our regular group coaching sessions.

Read full description

The Three Kingdoms Guide — a deeper way to explore the Three Kingdoms. How differently do the official history — Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms (正史) — and the classic novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (演義) tell the same events? The Three Kingdoms Guide lets you compare the lives of 164 Three Kingdoms figures — Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and more — side by side, in two columns: history and legend. Explore 25 major events and 9 decisive battles, more than 300 Chinese idioms and 100 strategies born from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and 180 passages of original classical Chinese text — built for readers who want to read the official history and the novel together, more deeply.
