As long as you give Lu Bu what he wants, you're fine. Give him a big comfy position in court, pay him lots of money, give him a good fight and the most important rule: DON'T. SLEEP. WITH. HIS. WOMAN.
"Et tu, Lyu Bu?" "I love Dong Zhuo, but I love Diao Chan more." (Lu and Lyu are different. Lyu is the official romanization of 吕, which we use in our passports.)
Even compared with other tyrants and warlords of that very brutal time in history, Dong Zhuo is recorded as being especially sadistic, maniacal, and dishonorable. Everyone knows that Lu Bu betrayed him, but fewer people realize that the betrayal was not unjustified. It is recorded multiple times that Dong Zhuo was abusive and callous towards Lu Bu, even going so far as to throw deadly spears at him in fits of rage. Often that rage wasn't even directed at Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo was just angry at something else and Lu Bu was unlucky enough to be the nearest person. Lu Bu was his closest bodyguard, adopted son, highest general, strongest champion, and much of Zhuo's success was due to Lu Bu, and yet he treated him like he treated everyone else, like dirt. It's no wonder that Lu Bu finally turned on him. Dong Zhuo's regime was doomed from the start because he had no respect for those who kept him in power.
@@Bobby__B I mean, Lu Bu did plenty wrong; betrayal was his personal hobby long before he killed Dong Zhuo. But Lu Bu was absolutely justified in finally killing that fat bastard dead.

I come to bring you the translation of the lyrics:（seven syllable for a sentence,each syllable for a Chinese character） 董贼潜怀废立图 The tyrant Dong Zhuo has an underlying scheme to abolish the emperor of Han Empire and get a new one as his puppet. 汉家宗社委丘墟 The Han's temple of ancestors is going to fall into ruins.(It means that Han dynasty will fall) 满朝臣宰皆囊括 All of the courtiers dare not speak anything about Dong Zhuo's tyranny or revolt him.(the third sentence is repeated twice) 唯有丁公是丈夫。 Only the noble officer Ding Guan is a true man.(Ding Guan is the first courtier to snap at Dong Zhuo and revolt his tyranny.This noble person was executed immediately by Dong Zhuo.) CA really struck me a lot by this video.
Dong Zhuo is the winner of Luoyang capital's Game of Throne in 189 ( among him and other four factions: He Jin; eunuchs; He Miao [ He Jin's brother]; Ding Yuan) and take all these factions' army under his rule - Lubu is the most famous example.
He was probably some super high testosterone guy with bad childhood upbringing, this type usually ended up having some antisocial/psychopath personality traits.
I mean, to be fair Dong Zhou was his adopted father figure, and while he was a Tyrant, I'm sure not even he would want to screw over his ultimate weapon. He more then likely knew about his murder hobby, but didnt know that the girl he was smitten with was also offered to his son as well. After all, if Lu Bu really was raised by the guy, and somehow stayed alive long before the girl incident, how bad of a father could he have been to Lu Bu?
@@michelveilleux1275 Diaochan is fictional. She's a character made in the novel. She was inspired by the woman that Lu Bu had an affair with, but said woman was one of Dong Zhuo's concubines if I recall correctly, so to hide his secret, he kills Dong Zhuo. Well, that and there were other reasons as well. Apparently Dong Zhuo was very abusive to Lu Bu, such as throwing stuff at him in a fit of rage.
Actually thinking about it the relationship between Dong Zhou and Lu Bu are basically Ghorth the Cruel and Zhatan the Black, Tyrant ruler that is less of a warrior and his mega soldier general that serves him.
The lyric of this music comes from a poem in "Romance of the three kingdoms " itself, Chapter 4. Here's the Chinese and English version of it: 董贼潜怀废立图 The rebel Dong Zhuo conceived the foul design 汉家宗社委丘墟 To thrust the King aside and wrong his line. 满朝臣宰皆囊括 With folded arms the courtiers stood, save one 惟有丁公是丈夫 Ding Guan, who dared to cry that wrong was done.
Ding Guan is actually read as Ding Gong, "gong" means grandfather or great man, is just a respectable honorific given to someone who was very respected for their virtue, or if they are a god. For example Guan Yu sometimes is called Guan Gong. Ding Gong's real name was Ding Yuan, he was called Gong because he dared to go against Dong Zhuo.
@@count_dcinamon Indeed. The actual Dong Zhuo was a nasty piece of work if even a *quarter* of what was written about him is true. The Three Kingdom's fiction didn't have to make up anything about him to put him in a negative light. I don't even think most writers can *make* *up* the stuff Dong Zhuo did in real life. He did have supporters, although mostly in the military. I have to wonder if we the player need to balance his *psychotic* *tendencies* while we play him, like a mechanic we have to juggle. Though I am mostly interested in commanding Lu Bu, that guy is basically the Vegeta (DBZ reference) of the Three Kingdoms period (technically before it though).

Captured enemy soldiers reportedly tortured so horrifically it caused a loss of morale among Coalition forces. 3.

Honestly, you can really appreciate the detail and animation of the trailer at .5 speed. Seriously, you guys have me so hyped for this game, I really can not wait for it to be released.
I would imagine it is a variation on the same lyrics they have been using in conjunction with their own orchestration. The usual lyrics are drawn from the poem "The Old Soldier's Return" and can be translated to " I joined the army and fighting when I was 15, and finally came back home when I was 80." I could of course be wrong with regard to this trailer.
Despite Lü Bu’s great skill of martial art on the battle field, he is just a renegade, who has followed lots of masters, which they called him “three surname slave”. As his death time came when he was beaten by Cao Cao, he begged to survive while his strategist Chen Gong refused to surrender and executed by Cao Cao unwillingly.
Dong Zhuo is a locked faction, you can only play as him if you either defeat him or become emperor. Rome 1 and Medieval 2 had a similar system of "beat the faction and you unlock them in a new game", but they dropped that mechanic. Probably because if you ever uninstalled Rome 1 or Medieval 2, you'd have to start again from scratch, and that is incredibly frustrating in games that easily take weeks to finish.
@@daevious_ or simply because, while a nice idea, it is kinda disheartening if you wanted to play faction X but had to unlock that first... in Rome I and Med II you could just change a txt file, but later games...

Why is it that when the general himself clashes on the battlefield, he'll die as easily as the other soldiers he fights with, when he should be able to one-shot or at least clash blades with regular soldiers, and/or/if he meets the enemy general he should engage in an epic duel for a while before a victor is decided.

That's not all right,the man in this song call 丁管(Ding Guan),but丁管is not exist in real three kingdom history is right,but there is a real man in history who dare to against Dong Zhuo in getting rid of the emperor is called 盧植（Lu Zhi )《後漢書·吳延史盧趙列傳》是這樣記載的：群僚無敢言，植獨抗議不同。
Han historical records :
The ministers did not dare to speak, only 盧植 came out and against Dong Zhuo. The man you said who was the first to support Dong Zhuo in getting rid of the emperor is called 丁宮(Ding Gong) not 丁管(Ding Guan), and 盧植was not killed by Dong Zhuo, after he against Dong Zhuo in the court, Dong Zhuo wnat to kill him,stopped by the ministers called 蔡邕(who was forced to be the minister,if he refuse,Dong Zhuo said: I can kill all your family and friends； and 蔡邕 was well trusted by Dong Zhuo.After this Lu Zhi tell Dong Zhuo he is too old and sick,then quit the minister and run away from Luoyang , and because this one step difference, the assassins from Dong Zhuo failed to find 盧植.
盧植（Lu Zhi ) also is the teacher of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan
Ding dong. 😂🤣
I cant wait to make him charge into 10k guys all by his lonesome in the 1st turn, so I can play Lu Bu as faction leader.
1k*
Lu Bu became one of the warlords after he betrayed and killed Dong Zhuo. Believer he will be a playable faction leader in the expansions.
You can also let him be assassinated...
10K in your dreams
Actually hes an instinct hero I think, good at taking down many troops at once, put him in a duel.

Lu Bu in the three kingdoms and Xiang Yu in the early Han Dynasty are recognized as the strongest soldiers in the history of China. No one can deny it.

Dang it! I LOVE Dong Zhuo's laughter at the end!

The coalition does not accept the Dong.
They will be made to accept.

The dong is too strong
No question, Dong Zhuo more or less serves as the person every other warlord looks at and says "at least I'm not that motherfucker".

You obviously never tried dumplings
Oh yeah lu bu is the one that killed him
@Provocateur how about your dear dad, me

The BGM is talking about the one who was keeping glancing Dong Zhuo
阶下一大臣，愤怒高叫曰：“贼臣董卓，敢为欺天之谋，吾当以颈血溅之！”挥手中象简，直击董卓。卓大怒，喝武士拿下：乃尚书丁管也。卓命牵出斩之。管骂不绝口，至死神色不变。
The translation:
The minster under stages, shout angrily " Dong Zhuo, the betrayer general, You dare to commit the rebellion. I will smear your clothe with my blood! " Than hit Dong Zhuo with the elephant teeth board in hand. Dong get furious and ask the guards to take and dagger him. The man keep swearing and has no fear until the death.
That courtier was badass, he deserves respect.
That's only in the romance books, in reality he was the first to support Dong Zhuo in getting rid of the emperor.

@@igniscaeli1296 i mean , 240's per unit is pretty fair right now.
Liu Bei was known as a Lord with relatively weak army (at the start), but well-loved by the people. So his trailer doesn't emphasis on strength

*Clip of Lu Bu Doing 90% of an army's work*
HAHAH!
Lu bu was his strength his secret weapon
My favourite part is the pained look on the Mandarin's face, looking at Dong Zhuo, with a look that shows he despises Dong Zhuo as a tyrant and a brute and he wants to break down in tears and say something but he dares not, and he bows.
Dude's probably planning an "accident" that would claim Dong Zhuo's life.
I like how the mature thing is pure VIOLENCE that Dong Zhuo represents.
Little does Ol' Dongy know that Lu Bu is planning some real Horus Heresy esque betrayal.
Only because he shagged Bu's woman.
Honestly, you can really appreciate the detail and animation of the trailer at .5 speed. Seriously, you guys have me so hyped for this game, I really can not wait for it to be released.
Let's me be the one to ask the necessary question: what's that song name?
darude sandstorm
I would imagine it is a variation on the same lyrics they have been using in conjunction with their own orchestration. The usual lyrics are drawn from the poem "The Old Soldier's Return" and can be translated to " I joined the army and fighting when I was 15, and finally came back home when I was 80." I could of course be wrong with regard to this trailer.
@@totalwar As a South African I can confirm that you are correct!

@@totalwar promote the guy that wrote the comment
Despite Lü Bu’s great skill of martial art on the battle field, he is just a renegade, who has followed lots of masters, which they called him “three surname slave”. As his death time came when he was beaten by Cao Cao, he begged to survive while his strategist Chen Gong refused to surrender and executed by Cao Cao unwillingly.
don't forget bout Zhang Liao too
OUR LEADER HAS ARRIVED
So its like Chinese emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader
But then the Emperor plans to bang Padme

I expected the Dong, but I was not ready for the Dong to be a mechanic that haven't been used since Medieval 2.
What is this mechanic ? I didn't see this anywhere. But maybe I missed it or didn't understand (I'm a french speaker ^^)
Dong Zhuo is a locked faction, you can only play as him if you either defeat him or become emperor. Rome 1 and Medieval 2 had a similar system of "beat the faction and you unlock them in a new game", but they dropped that mechanic.
Probably because if you ever uninstalled Rome 1 or Medieval 2, you'd have to start again from scratch, and that is incredibly frustrating in games that easily take weeks to finish.
@@daevious_ or simply because, while a nice idea, it is kinda disheartening if you wanted to play faction X but had to unlock that first... in Rome I and Med II you could just change a txt file, but later games...
He's right about the Coalition being dogs barking at a tiger, but he didn't get just who the tiger really was.
The Tiger of Jiangdong! Sun Jian!
I'm 70 turns in and he's still alive.
WTF is even happening?
It was patched. The events for Dong Zhuo have a lower chance of firing now.

@@9pmInTokyo I was playing those game years ago, with and without Radious mods. I did not notice that battle last longer. If You want longer battles - search somewhere else.
Play m2tw it delivers just that!
Games can last anywhere between 30 minutes to a few hours
The best trailer I've seen for anything
Why is it that when the general himself clashes on the battlefield, he'll die as easily as the other soldiers he fights with, when he should be able to one-shot or at least clash blades with regular soldiers, and/or/if he meets the enemy general he should engage in an epic duel for a while before a victor is decided.
what? do you even play the game? in tk, the generals can even rout entire units...
It would be hilarious if playing Dong’s clan with this song which the meaning of the song is cursing Dong...
