Where does Dong Zhuo spawn exactly?
I played through 3 campaigns and I can't find his character at all. Played all the factions that spawn close to him, and havent seen him at all, only Lu bu. I also crushed him empires three times and have not unlocked his faction.

Dong Zhuo usually won't spawn. He costs 4.5k to field and I've only seen the AI field him one time out of twelve campaigns before his scripted death occurred.

If you're looking to unlock Dong Zhuo quickly, play an easy campaign, build prestige buildings and expand quickly in order to rush towards the rank of Emperor. You unlock Dong Zhuo's faction at the exact moment you become Emperor.

Damn I am not looking to play the campaign again exactly, I was hoping to just kill him in the field and unlock him that way

I mean, you can try to unlock him that way, but the chances of him being fielded are very low. You could try switching to the beta patch, which reduces the chance of his scripted death occurring. Even so, I have an ongoing Cao Cao campaign in the beta patch on turn 64 with Dong Zhuo still kicking, but the AI has yet to field him.

Yeah hear ya man, thanks for the input, I didn't know they would rarely field him. So thanks for the head's up.

Attack one of his armies in the field that is not garrisoned somewhere. Kill one of the generals but do not destroy the whole army. Dong Zhuo will usually be spawned in to replace the dead general.

Playing as Yuan Shu or Liu Biao gives you a decent chance at this without Ma Teng diplomacy shenanigans - prep a smallish army and head towards Shangyong to your immediate east. Dong Zhuo usually sends out his secondary army of Guo Si and Li Jue down to annex the Han Empire town (which is also where Xu Huang starts out, leading an army for the Han Empire) or the Lumber Yard.

If the autoresolve thinks you would lose the fight against that army, it will attack you when you are close enough. Play it out manually and you should be able to strike at it again, perhaps in a settlement battle, when Dong Zhuo pops in to take personal control.
