Cao Pi

[Howie]

When playing the Mandate of Heaven why does Cao Pi never spawn?

[G The Glamorous]

There are a lot of "story" inconsistent problem with Mandate of Heaven, if you care about the characters you should stick to the original campaign.

[Tipsy]

Not just him, weird non-family members spawn within your ranks like Yuan Anyang and Gongsun Gong growing up either in Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Yuan Shao's family.

Babies follow the mother around, so if the mother disappears from her original faction (or it is destroyed and she is recruited elsewhere), and for instance gets killed, her children will grow up in a different faction to her original one.

[Jerroser]

As he is still a generic character for the time being CA probably didn't bother to program him in to that start date. Sun Ren is currently the only character in the game who is pre set so always be born, even then there are a fair few issues you can see with her the faction family tree. The rest are all just left to generate children randomly.

It would be helpful if they added a way in game to track these kids to see where they are and who exactly they are following. Since as far as I'm aware they are pretty much invisible if they are no longer part of a faction leaders family tree until they come of age.

I had Cao Pi get born on my very first MOH campaign as Liu Chong when MOH first released.
He was born into Cao Co's family as usual but was flagged in blue... so I thought he would be a strategist.
When he finally came of age I grabbed him in a diplomatic marriage and discovered that he was bugged.
No portrait, no model for some reason, even though he does not have a unique portrait/model currently.

Every other game after... Cao Pi was never born.

For some reason every other Cao child spawns but not Cao Pi and hes the second child suppose to be born. Is this a problem for you guys as well. Even mods can't spawn him.

Yeah it sucks not being able to get him in Mandate of Heaven. He is one of my favorite Wei characters and I never am able to use him let alone see him at all

It is a pretty east thing to mod in with a script, CA already officially made something similar for Sun Ren in MOH. I am working on a historical events mod that fills in lots of the holes and bridges the DLCs better for a more unified experience, no matter which start date you pick.

Historical children being born is a part of it - currently I have Liu Shan (Liu Bei), the Cao children (Pi, Zhang, Zhi, Chong), and Liu Xun (Liu Zhang) for funsies

Of course, it would have been even nicer if this was implemented by CA officially.

I love MoH but after the rebellion and endgame the events dont exist. Mandate of Heaven needs a dedicated mod team to add the 190, 194, 200 event's to it effectively rolling the dlc's into one with the main campaign, also the real Three Kingdoms era needs to be added as this was where CA failed miserably by not including the games name sake era from about 220 when Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Qian had established their kingdoms.

They completely blew it with this saga. Let's hope the next iteration is a real TW game ;)
