Lu Bu Campaign

[Tex]

Anyone have any advice for a successful Lu Bu campaign? With his inherent corruption penalty stacking with mass dissatisfaction corruption penalties caused by his "hit list" I'm having a hell of a time keeping a positive income to field an army, let alone go on an offensive to try and counter the dissatisfaction.

I had a problem with income near the beginning, can see what I did here to resolve that.

1) Vassals (not impacted by your corruption debuff)
2) Use corruption reducing items
3) Use corruption reducing administrators
4) Battle (this was the bread and butter of my early income) ransom post-battle + release generals

It is ok to be in negative income if you can make enough money from battles to keep going.

I just completed Lu Bu's campaign on legendary.. Pretty manageable to me... With LuBu, you just have to keep fighting and wining. Maintain momentum and the victories and looting should leave you with enough cash flow to power through. Of course you don't want to keep a bloated court that's draining you of cash so keep it lean...

Plenty of ways to reduce corruption and satisfaction via reforms, assigning heirs, utilizing faction-wide boosts, character abilities, assignments, ancillary objects and titles etc.. Once you get to Emperor you'll be able to boost satisfaction further with more ministers..But for satisfaction, the most straight forward way is still to keep winning and expanding.

Also Lu Bu, try to make a beeline for Zhang Yan and defeat him in battle as early as possible to get his Greatest Warrior buff (+25% post loot income) coz as Lu Bu you should be looting quite a bit.. Hope it helps..
