Can you have 3 wives and sworn brothers?

[VoiD]

I've tried gifting 15 items to Guan Yu and he never offered to be my sworn brother, any idea as to why this is happening? I have 3 wives atm, no sworn siblings. he has Zhang and Liu, no wives.

3 wives and 4 sworn siblings (not including yourself).

Guan Yu is probably just being a jerk. I recall in the base game that if you became sworn siblings with someone who had some already, you get that bond with all of them. I guess there is a possibility that the PUK did something to the Three Bros but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

When you gift items, try to get the Interest emotional state to trigger first, if you haven't tried that already.

It might help that we know what character that you are playing as first. Because affinity can play a role in the entire situation. For example, if you are a Wei officer and try to bond with Zhou Yu will be a lot harder than when you are a Wu officer.

If you are playing as a created officer (like I do most of the time), then a good rule of thumb is to actually start the game by serving the target's ruler before attempting to bond with them.

EDIT to add: Another issue is that the value of the items in question. If you give him a lot of items that have a value of 5 for example, then you will be bound to have a lot harder time than giving them an item that have a value of 20. Items that have a value of 15 or greater is good gift fodder.

I see, thanks, I'm playing a custom officer, he's serving me atm along with Zhang, Liu Bei is serving another ruler.

I've tried all sorts of gifts ranging from 5 to 25 value, so far no luck =/
Actually I didn't get any sworn siblings yet.

Isn't the Three Brothers bond a special type of bond? You know, it got a special name and visual difference. The same is about Cao Cao - Xiahou's bond, or Liu Bei - Zhuge's bond. They are all "Level 5" bond (marriage/oath bond is level 4 bond only).

I think unless you play fictional (and edit?), it is impossible to break those special bonds.
