Fun with Imperial Seal?
Does the imperial seal actually do anything diplomatic wise? Or campaign wise i should ask. Like would anything funny happen if i gave it to someone random person like Dong Zhou, Kong Rong, Zheng Jiang, or even Cao Cao etc? Or is it really just a powerful item for your generals?

it just has good stats and bonuses for your faction leader, heir, or prime min

Too bad, that would be hilarious if i could have some random person control the Han.

Honestly, it's nice to have it from a completionist point of view, but it isn't worth the effort to fight over it. Mechanically speaking, it is not significantly better than many other things unless you are fighting defensively much of the time.

Sun Ce knew that! Got himself a nice bunch of troops off of Yuan Shu for it historically and beat down what resistance to his rule there was down in the Southlands - and Yuan Shu ended up dead and discredited because he claimed that trinket made him the divinely mandated emperor.

Besides, you'll almost certainly be able to get it back later on if you really want it.

No I don't so it seems like there is no point in fighting Liao Biao right off the bat. Well that makes my Sun Jian campaign a bit easier. I hate doing troop rushes, thats why it took me like 20 retries to and do a Zheng Jiang campaign

You can keep it and not go to war with him.

Its easy enough to just keep it and hold Liu Biao off for a couple of turns, if he makes no progress or you manage to defeat his army its very easy to get a peace treaty with him. Then you can grow quickly enough that he will be very hesitant to go to war with you again.

Hm could be that I remember it wrong. Could be that I just signed peace some turns later.

Maybe in earlier versions of the game, I recently had a game where i had a non-aggression pact with him, but decided to keep the seal and ended up going to war :steamsad:

I didn't even beat any of Liu Biao's and he signed peace with me right away. I didn't even bother defending my capital from him actually, I just made a beeline for the weapon craftsman and stuff from the Han Empire. Sun Jian is pretty easy, you basically have free reign over all the settlements you can snag from the Han

Once you get to a certain point you just start vassalizing people and giving them extra territory if the corruption gets too high. By the end of my Sun Jian campaign I had 15 vassals, it was glorious
