[Verias[BEL]]

Trying to figure out who im gone play with first.
anyone know if its possible to get Lu Bu with another faction then Dong Zhuo ?

Dunno about recruiting Lu Bu before Dong Zhuo... But I wonder if you can prevent Lu Bu from ever appearing in the game if you're playing as one of the Zhang brothers and you destroy Ding Yuan's faction.

lu bu is probably in ding yuan actual court and destroying ding yuan will just put lu bu in recruit poll

Lv Bu's event was showed in Lionhearts let's play. As Dong Zhuo declares independence from the empire, the event where he appears fires a little later. When this happens, the minor faction leader which was his father gets killed and Dong Zhuo confederates it.

So basically, he will appear exactly how he should do. He kills his adoptive father and joins the rising Dong Zhuo.

The way the empire works is, all of the han factions are psuedo vassals. They all contribute to a income pot that is divided amongst them (the emperor getting a small cut but also boosting the overall figure). They can declare independence from the ruling emperor and become an independent warlord.

Examples of this is Liu Biao, Kong Rong and Yuan Shao. Liu Biao and Kong Rong leave as Beurocratic influence drops. Yuan Shao leaves your court (he begins as a character in your faction) if you don't quickly resolve the Yellow Turbans. They each get their regions from minor factions or Han Empire territory. So nothing you'd realistically have at any of those points, and would mean lower tributary income only (as well as potential enemy later down the line).

Dong Zhuo had an event fire but It wasn't explain what causes it. I assume it's simply time based as he's pretty hefty by the point it fired off, which Lv Bu confederating Ding Yuan's faction just snowballs him to where he should be (he should be stronger than he is during the start of the base game).

That said, we'll experience it all ourselves in 4 hours or so :P
