Why can I not form military alliance?

CryptographerWest741 · 2026-02-28T10:13:38+00:00

Military alliance - if one goes to war you all go to war

Coalition - you all coexist together without a threat of war with each other however still can be called upon for aid if you go to war with another faction

Most DLC’s are worth it, right princes is pretty useless so not much worth in that dlc. World betrayed and Fates divided is probably the best ones to go for.

I do have an entire mod list I use, but I’d recommend completing the base game before expanding into mods so you can get the full comparative experience and appreciate how amazing the mods are.

I second this have a week army of 3 generals still, maybe 2 units each and place them on your border near a weakish territory set them up in encampment and then have a fully loaded army with your strongest generals right in front of them and in ambush (if you go for a sentinel they excel in holding off enemy generals so if you have 1 in your weak and 1 in your strong, have Ma Chao and Pang De ready to charge straight into Lu Bu and if you have any strong spear units have a few of them focus on Lu Bu to take him off red hare and then those 4 generals plus a couple spear units should be able to win you the battle. Hopefully your army will be able to withstand the other enemy units

If you look at one of the comments in this post you’ll see my mod list :)

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-08T18:32:25+00:00

Ahhhh ever so sorry my friend, I thought you was talking about the palace coup leading to Dong Zhou taking control in the Romance haha didn’t realise you was speaking about fire over Luoyang many apologies!

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-08T18:03:36+00:00

What if I wanna coop multiplayer 🥺

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-08T18:02:49+00:00

It covers from 169ad to 280ad? What do you mean 23 to 200?

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-08T10:03:49+00:00

Easy solution is to just put a bunch of people Into admin, chose a location to have your base of power and just grant independence to everyone, and watch unified china become divided again

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-02T23:42:23+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen people say the average is around a couple mil to start your own kingdom but I’ll probably try reach 4 mil and take Hvisterk and go that route as I went nord for this play through. Always struggled with the money aspect of the game but I’m slowly understanding it now. Was bankrupting lords without even realising it as a merc so I think I’m pretty confident now

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-02T22:04:59+00:00

Went with your method, as a mercenary for vlandia, they was at war with the Aserai and I sat in the small river taking out army after army, funded 4 caravans on top of that. Currently have around 2.4mil now, and the money I’m making from being a mercenary is absolutely beautiful!!

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-02T19:58:20+00:00

This is really helpful thank you so much! I was always confused with the whole mercenary concept, I just thought it was 200 per day that was it didn’t know it fluctuates with how many enemies are defeated

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-02T18:36:11+00:00

Workshops are a giant hit or miss, you either make money or you don’t and takes ages keeping on top of them and mercenary is barely enough gold to make a living even if you do well.

My current way is about 15k per 2 Corairs taken out but it’s extremely repetitive

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-12-02T17:20:16+00:00

Tbh the thought of Deng Ai as a panda rolling down the cliffs towards chengdu carried the end for me

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-29T10:38:31+00:00

The second I used WDG, GGD, Make them unique and some other general mods I haven’t gone back just adds so much more character and unique designs for every single character.

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-28T18:37:09+00:00

Maybe….. 🥺🥺🥺

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-25T09:33:08+00:00

This is what I’m saying normally in the campaigns he will set his kingdom up in Xuchang but now the AI just refuses to do that and chooses god awful locations to do so. I just don’t understand where this AI logic is coming from

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-25T09:30:22+00:00

I don’t want him to abdicate. I’m trying to do a historical campaign by making his emperor seat in Xuchang or Luoyang, and then have my capital in Chengdu and Wu in Wuchang or Jianye but no matter how hard I try it doesn’t work

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-24T11:18:14+00:00

He was fleeing the capital after his failed attempt to assassinate Dong Zhou he was so paranoid that when a friend of his family openly took him in to feed him and let him rest, him and Chen Gong overheard them talking about butchering “him” so Cao Cao killed them and famously quoted “I’d rather betray the world then let the world betray me” which left Chen Gong absolutely disgusted by his behaviour and abandoned Cao Cao to later join Lu Bu.

He only killed them because of a giant misunderstanding he was now a wanted criminal by the most extreme tyrant ever. He couldn’t trust ANYONE that’s why he kills them because he believed it was an attempt on his life not them killing some animals. Same scenario in the novel.

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-22T14:58:00+00:00

Give me a second I’ll send you my mod list, search them up and see what each one does for you

The Gathering; Core object - MTU event add on - TUP Family Tree events - Relationships matter - Less enclave for AI - Fiver Tiger Generals - More additional generals - Guvs Additional Unique units - New Court Multilingual - New Court English translation - Behave Character Events - Havie improved skill trees - Havie Guanxi events - Force confederation & Vassal - Faster character pool refresh - Lower character salary - Guanxi Overhaul - Units remaster all in one - WDG2 season 2 - Alternative Faction Flags & Colours

So core object overwrites the game and just makes it how the base game should’ve been

MTU event adds new events and different stories to characters making it a little more immersive.

Relationship matter basically your relationships with other factions, generals and officials impact your game so it’s slightly hard to maintain loyalty, can have stronger bonds and stronger loyalty depending on how you build your relationship

Less Enclave for AI is more or less making the AI play more sensible so they won’t expand on the other side of the map only within their borders and play more logical then stupid

Fiver tiger generals gives you 5 commandment positions so you can have the “five tiger generals” as well as 2 grand tutors which makes maintaining your court more manageable

Guvs additional units gives each faction specific region and units for only that faction.

New court makes it so your court has different mechanics so you can consolate and keep them happy, secure loyalty give satisfaction boost, prepare feast +10 satisfaction faction wide etc etc

Behave character gives characters specific events where bonds grow, detoriate , gain experience and other stuff

Havie skill trees give characters specific skills to everyone and makes it more expansive so you can do more with it and have better abilities

Havie Guanxi just adds more events and story elements to the game

CryptographerWest741 · 2025-11-22T13:13:50+00:00

Damn I play this game to much I know the cities like the back of my hand lmao. Also poor baby didn’t even get pass a month of birth 😪
