Yellow turban too OP

[Steve2186]

Im playing records mode campaign as sun jian and everytime the i have played i have lost cause no one in the north is stoping the yellow turbans from spreading. why is this happening i even tried taking sun jian up north to help and that didnt work cuz the YT have like 6 armies attacking 1

[Steve2186]

Like Lui bui gets wiped out by the yellow turban and nobody is putting them in check they easily take control of the 50 territory they need and the game ends. Could there be a mod I'm using that is making the yellow turban op

[Moose_knuckle]

Might be a mod problem as ive never seen it get that bad. The yellow turban war can be a bit of a pain but it's not too crazy especially if you can join a confederation or allience.

[Steve2186]

I'm gonna have to go through them and see cuz it's getting stupid right after 190 the game ends cuz yellow turban has 50 territory. The north turns all yellow turban lol and everyone gets killed. They have like 12 armies if not more and when u take a place they come in with three armies and take it back. Then you try to bring a army in and they send 4 armies to take your one army out and they have 3 crossbolt and 2 trebuchet. I wish I knew what mod is causing this cant even enjoy the game

[Fried Noodles]

It's not even necessarily a mod that's causing this. I've had it happen on a completely unmodded game before where I was blitzing through the campaign as Cao Cao just trying to get to 192 (so I could mess around with Lu Bu's event triggers and see if certain conditions prevent him from leaving to form his own faction).

But that run was ended in the Winter of 189 when the Yellow Turbans captured Luoyang.

No mods, low difficulty setting. The Yellow Turbans just win sometimes. And it's a much easier run for them when the player is playing as Sun Jian or Cao Cao (after confederating Cao Song) because the player is not involved.

[Steve2186]

That's for sure I'm sun jian and I'm just watching lui bu and everyone in the north just get there ass handed to them and when I try to come and help takes like 5 moves to get there and then here comes a sea of yellow and crush my army 3 to 1. I'm just gonna keep trying I guess. Guess the mods dnt do ♥♥♥♥ to help lol. I have some on that are supposed to help me but they dnt seems like someone should make a mod that makes Y.t not so op.

[Fried Noodles]

Try playing on Legendary difficulty. AI should get some free economy from the difficulty setting. Maybe they can afford more armies and put up more of a fight against the Yellow Turbans. ;)

[Steve2186]

I'm gonna try that. I hope it works. Love the game besides Y.t. if this dnt work gonna be going back to the rise of the warlords timeline lol.

[Steve2186]

I have a mod with the 1 turn reform does that apply to the y.t too. I think that might have something to do with it.

[Moose_knuckle]

Try without the mods but also maybe try using more artillery like catapults or the big crossbow things whatever they are called. They can get you a win even when really outnumbered.

[Steve2186]

Yea I'm trying a new one now. Hopefully I can figure out what is causing this to happen. I'm using a mod wu kingdaissance. I'm gonna try one on very hard and then try one with no mods.

[Jab1226]

I'm having the same problem. I love.Sun Jian's campaign, but no one in the North is pulling their weight. I'm on turn 80; the YT have 39 settlements and they just had 42. Everytime I cap. a settlement of theirs, they take 2 or.3 up North. Everytime I push my front line (I have 5 armies working North, East, and West,) they spawn little armies 2 or 3 movement phases behind in my territory. So I just end up playing whack-a-mole every turn. Zero mods are being used. The gaMe is just bugged. Cao cao is In My coalition. But he has one commandery on an island to the south. He just sits down there and doesn't help. Every turn, he also calls a vote to remove members of the coalition, which never passes, and the. He is passed off.st all of us for not removing whoever he wanted out. Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's coalition just declared war on the YT on turn 78.... I've already restarted due to losing the 50 settlements twice....

MOH Sun Jian is probably the most relax faction to play with, but you do need to get involved very early.

Try this (for romance mode)

-- let Han Dang lead the army/ handle all the duel for the starting 3 looter armies, so he can level up asap to get reach.

--Set up trade with either Cao Song or Liu Hong, put cheng pu do construction duty, lady wu at tax collection duty at the capital. Rush you capital to level 4 according to your finance, so you can get the +1 admin reform. And put Zhu Zhi as admin.(to get a second army slot)

-- put together a stack with Sun Jian/Han Dang/ +1(best with strategist) and muster at the your boarder and boarder of Han owned weapon smith. Once the MOH notification start, force match up north.

-- Now you have 2 choice, go northwest and hit He YI, or northeast and get that YT own farmland just north of the river(better choice). Once you have that farmland, this is your pit stop, and later you will trade it away to Han for that weapon smith land(better weapon for you generals)

-- At the same time, spawn Huang Gai as second army and run him down south to colonized the salt mine and the town with port, this open up more trade routes for you.

-- Run Sun Jian main stack up north and start fighting the 3 brother. Once you have a piece of land up north, trade away the farmland that you just got from YT for the weapon crafter next to your base. Wait for Huang Gai finish his colonization route and spawn him/Cheng Pu to act as reinforcement for your main stack at the north.

-- At this point, you have 2 of the best duelist with you(Cheng Pu and Sun Jian), a stack of mercenary axeman(heavy counter the 3 Zhang spearman), you should be set.

-- Trade away any land you get from the 3 Zhang, always keep one as your temp base, use those money to build your southern empire. AI always put a stack at the land that their newly acquired, this basically become you guard dog, and the zhang brothers will have a hard time taking those land back.

I think my fastest record for Sun Jian to end the rebellion in L/L difficulty is 50 ish turns

Take the Northern Governor's lands before the Yellow Turbans do, I reccomend just starting Feuds with everyone north of Tao Qian til you have all of Qi, then use that as a defensive position to strike into the North.
As always you can also take Luoyang (after Dong Zhuo takes it), and then it doesn't matter how many counties they have.
