Zhao Yun should join Lui Bei by Tao Qian event trigger.

[MOMO & YUNA]

I have played a few campaigns as Lui Bei. I notice that the Zhao Yun joining Lui Bei trigger is having a problem or is a bug.

My first Lui Bei campaign: I got him. I did not know what triggered it, but all I did was I eliminated Huang Shao very early (before Cao Cao's father event).

My second Lui Bei campaign: I never got him. This time I had many battles against Huang Shao early, but I did not eliminate him. And I refused to aid Tao Qian.

My Third Lui Bei campaign: I never got him. Before this third campaign, someone told me that Zhao Yun event condition is the player needs to finish a battle between turn 8 - 28. So I did finish many battles during turn 8-28 for that purpose. It did not work. And this time I accepted to aid Tao Qian (at war with Cao Cao).

So instead of based on whatever broken condition as it is now, the Zhao Yun event should be triggered by Tao Qian event, the moment the player decides to aid Tao Qian, Zhao Yun should join automatically. That would be according to the story too.

I had problems recruiting Zhao yun in the past. I read that you need to capture Dong(town not mine) for him to join your faction. Sure enough after capturing dong and around 18 turns he joined.

The problem is, i don't know if this was the actual trigger or just a coincidence of random chance.

Either way, the triggers for most of the event join characters are either random chance or hidden triggers. For such pivitol characters to the story they should be garaunteed or have a transparent condition for them joining.

As you have stated they SHOULD be tied to the story campaign, but they're not.

In all 3 campaigns stated above I also occupied Dong city (and the mine also) very early. But 2 out of 3 campaigns I did not get Zhao Yun.

I noticed that the only thing different (in my case) is that:

- When I eliminated Huang Shao very early = I got Zhao Yun.
- When I did not eliminate Huang Shao very early = No Zhao Yun.

at this point, if i play Liu Bei, i mod the game for Zhao Yun to join me 100%, i mean god bless mods for fixing many issues.

The trigger is he is no longer in Gongzun Zan's faction. He either has to leave, be captured and released or the faction eliminated. Yuan Shao seems to more reliable follow his path to defeat and kill him, so it should happen more often.
