Keeping him around, though, is an entirely different challenge. Basically, whoever grabs Luoyang around this time gets to puppet the emperor.Even with high prestige values, it’s possible for the emperor to escape to another faction. Also, your vassalization of the Han won’t last forever.But, you’ll also end up in a lot of wars whenever it gets attacked. This might sound good on paper (especially considering the extra gold provided by your vassal). That allows you to capture him and vassalize the Han Empire. For some reason, the emperor fled to Luoyang’s capital. Li Jue, Guo Si, Yang Feng, and other minor lords will have petty squabbles to control the Han Emperor. Around this time, chaos will continue to engulf the northwest.In turn, this means fewer trade opportunities. In several playthroughs, I found that keeping friends close as Lu Bu can be very difficult due to the diplomatic penalties from the Personal Victories mechanic. Later, you should definitely consider techs that lower character salaries and corruption.You can create chokepoints that’ll utterly confuse Total War: Three Kingdoms‘ notoriously silly battle AI.
Alternatively, you could go with “Shock Warfare.” This lets you use additional deployables in battles which is ideal since you’re manually fighting most of Lu Bu’s engagements anyway. However, there are relatively few people around who’d want to be trade partners with you for now. For your first tech, “Foreign Envoys” does seem tempting to get an extra trade agreement.You’re better off using this early in the game to start coalitions before declaring a kingdom and forming an empire, or just to earn extra GPT. With regards to the Coerce mechanic, remember that this can’t be combined with peace deals or invitations to join empires.Look at the +20.8 proposal even with the Form Coalition option. Below, you’ll see an example of the weight of your diplomatic proposal when you combine Mercenary Contracts with the Coerce mechanic.Mercenary Contracts can prevent conflicts from breaking out between you and your employer strategize accordingly depending on the situation.Be sure to ask for a lot of gold in return. If there’s a vulnerable target nearby that’s at war with another lord, go ahead and make your proposal to a prospective employer. Take note of the rulers that are fighting one another. Speaking of cash, you could opt to try the Mercenary Contracts mechanic.Also, consider supporting Yuan Shu’s legitimacy to milk him for some cash. Whenever you have some extra gold, use it to increase Chen’s and Yingchuan’s income.Yes, the Hero of Chaos’ journey ended in just a few short turns. In any case, continue advancing towards Luoyang’s lumber yard to finally finish off Cao Cao’s faction.If you have a lot of Momentum, you can use some to annex a settlement guarded by a larger garrison, though I would advise against it since that can lower officer satisfaction severely. Either way, besiege and capture Yingchuan capital with your backup army and then Chen’s farmland after that.
