Total War: THREE KINGDOMS - Dong Zhuo Reveal Trailer 

No one can betray us

That's because they sleep with Lu Bu's girlfriend

@@HWDragonborn So much heartache can be avoided just by following the Guy Code.

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.

Actually, its 75% Because he betrayed 3 fathers, the only person he didn't betray was wang yun. 3/4 is 75%

After that you are guaranteed to become a Warlord and rule over Northern China

Also don't link your boats

@@imthebadguys and don't trust a homeless-looking dude named Yi

Lu Bu did it, because of some girl lol

Don't forget a nice horse from Lu Bu on your way out.

Huzzah, a man of quality.

that reference xD

Lol Oversimplified reference!

"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.)

That's for stealing Lu Bu's Gal🤣

Far as he knew though, it was his son who was creeping on *his* girl.

I want to sleep with her just so I can play as my bae Lu Bu.

Yup, Dong should've stopped thinking with his dong and remembered the Guy Code.

Who did that?

@@Aeyo Dong zhou, fat guy in the video.

The OG Fat Bastatd.

Yep, Lu Bu did nothing wrong.

That should add oil to the flame that burn for 2 days. ^ some joke regard to Dong Zhuo

@@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.

@@dexterwilliams2520 lu bu may be treacherous but what dong zhuo did was like leaving your house and car with the door open besides a famous thief, lu bu may have killed him but the dude was almost asking him to do it

Know what? Not a bad strategy. Just be nice to the thrice bastard to keep him loyal and you're untouchable.

I wonder how strong he actually was in real life , I now a lot if it is romanticized ( no pun intended ) but still he must have been super strong IRL to get such a reputation .

Also, the trailer makes me suppose that, in game, he cancels charge reflexion ?

@Devin Chen that's quite an achievement shooting a spear with a bow , damn .

Or sit on them

That Guy there Thanks for that made me laugh instantly

Turn 10 Cutscene be like: "THE FIRE BURNS-" [Aggressively starts mashing "Esc" key]

I was crating an army to destroy him, and then he died. I was like WTF?!

thats what you get when you lu bu by your side

Just like in the romance!

Dong Zhuo is nominally the father of Lu Bu. If the Senate says im your father to lord low ground...

If palpatite was also banging Padmé in the meantime

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.

May the Qi be with you my friend.

I always thought as much too...

Agree

100 % yes

But they will bow before our ruler

Aye

A ha ha ha ha ha ha

@Bryan Leonardi one problem with your equation there mate... You forgot those *dogs barking at a tiger* coalition.

Damn, looks like i don't need to do the whole events that lead to it

nah, choose liu bei, ma teng or zheng jiang to start the game. then marry lu bu so he can join our faction, keep good relationship with ma teng and sun jian, so later on you can marry ma chao and sun ren. Once you have all of em, your enemies are pretty much done.

step 6: profit???

I mean thats a waste of a legendary but ok

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.

@@Torag55 ah see? I wouldn't have known that. Eye opening really.

Then why dont i betray him first

中文效率是真的高

@@kongdogheeh5486 笑喷

Fun fact: this poem is from the 4th chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

You can't tell me the GoT nerds will not at least be interested to check this out

Well thank You!

Ding yuan丁原

@@bingqizhou6339 是丁管

@@big-bad-wolf1511 是的，我现在知道了

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.

Chinese English translation is so weird sometimes

Nafiul Shelim The ultimate huge chaos dwarf

His hat isn’t big enough.

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.

@@nolan2664 Chaos dwarfs = China ?

@@erlint Not even close.

You gotta admit, that level of confidence and self-assurance is kind of admirable, even though it's delusional. 🤣

Shu: We have the 3 sworn brothers.

uhm! Army Lu Bu!

Funny that Dong was killed by Lu Bu later.

Sun Jian: I have a family

Meng Huo: I am Chinese Surtha Ek

ROMANCE OF THE THREE MEALS

Jacob at least the dlc is free all you have to do is become emperor or conquer china

Romance of the Three Big Macs

lol

Actually Sun Jian is the only warlord who doing most of the job, historically he capture Shisui gate without a problem and also Hu Lao gate for the coalition, that's why he found the Imperial Seal since he's the first one who entering Luoyang

@@yasirammarie1771 Historically he also beat Hua Xing, Dong Zhou and Lu Bu. The legendary phrase "Do NOT pursue Lu Bu" most likely came from him, because after he beat him the second time Lu fled on Red hare and Sun pursued but his horse wasn't no match When he gave up and continued his attack Lou Yang was on fire lol.

@@kharilonesome6903 Hua Xiang has no historical significance. His only significance was in ROTK, a fictional novel. Historically both Cao Cao and Sun Jian did actually have troubles, both losing, and Cao Cao nearly dying, to a general named Xu Rong.

The only Member of the Coalition Dong Zhuo feared and rightfully so

*Dong Zhuo has been kicked from chat by admin

Dong Zhuo?

@@xuechuanmi5345 Dong Who?

@@dougfax dong zhuo is the correct name. zhuo speaks as"drow"

In a cosmic sense, yes.

@Zulfikar Agustian Also Lu Bu:For someone who didn't fight to save humanity from extinction? Yes (reply if you get the reference)

Rising Emperor I don’t, can you explain? Ty

@@gracilis1968 its from a manga which the gods wants to kill humans but someone give the humans to fight back

Rising Emperor I can see why that decision was made

Step five: Sleep with Diao Chan Step six: Get your head lobbed off by Lu Bu

@@deadmanslastwish sound like a good plan

yee, seems pretty interesting to play as 'the bad guy'

@@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).

Venatio could you list some of the thngs he supposedly did?

@@_greenrunner_ From what I know: 1. Killed the teenage Emperor and replaced him with his younger brother as a puppet. 2. Killed thousands of innocent civilians & officials on suspicion of disloyalty. Including the entire clan of the leader of the Coalition who opposed him that he could find in Louyang. Captured enemy soldiers reportedly tortured so horrifically it caused a loss of morale among Coalition forces. 3. Destroyed so many valuable works of bronze art to make coins that he actually caused inflation to the point of the currency being considered worthless. Not to mention the countless other arts and treasures he raided to prop up his coffers. 4. Staged tortures in the middle of his banquets, which peaked with the still living mess of a person being tossed with his detached parts into a pot of boiling oil. Resulting cooked "meatball" displayed like *art* in front of guests (who understandably lost their appetite).

Yep! Like solid 2 hours of gameplay before Lu Bu killed him 😶

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.

Nooooooooo, really?

Because the best evil laughs are done by those who have the strength and pride to back it up.

I know right

Nathaniel Claw They are but Dogs barking at a Tiger!!!

We all need a bit of Dong in our life.

Like HUEY LONG DONG

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

daevious The coalition will be defeated 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".

I guess you could say Ding has Dinged the Dong.

Dong Zhuo just got roasted by his own BGM!

Could it have been Ding Yuan, not Ding Gong?

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. 😂🤣

tf?? lu bu was a no body in real history, only in the fiction

@@bot01020 he was real just not as overpowered as the novel describe, but he is really strong and good at archery

@@musicguy3576 He's a terrible warlord though, lost pretty early in China's game of thrones.

@@nobblkpraetorian5623 terrible ruler, yes. But still regard as one of the best in combat skills.

​​​@@bot01020Quite shortsighted to underestimate Lu Bu. As a tactician, he was terrible but his prowess as a warrior in both history and fiction shouldn't be scoff at. You should know this

In Dong's bedroom

More seriously, she's in the game. There was an event showing her in one of the let's play

Yijin Yang you mean in Lu Bu’s lol

Probably not even in the game, Diao Chan, she never existed.

@@TxuZai According to Theldren Berne she is. Which all things considered I don't really mind. Sometimes you have to sacrifice historical accuracy for gameplay purposes. Othertimes its for the fans :)

You obviously never tried dumplings

Oh yeah lu bu is the one that killed him

@Provocateur how about your dear dad, me

@Provocateur aids come yanksville

Ding Dong isn't in the game, but Dong Zhou's cousin Dong Ding might be.

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.

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!

@@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

@@JimRaynor2001 Really? It has been officially confirmed? :DDD

Argumenter_Respecter The game has been released and it has all Chinese voice over options. Really well done!

@@JimRaynor2001 Oh, I must have remembered the release date wrong x) Thanks for reminding me, I'll check it out!

OK, the tricky part is they spoke in ancient Chinese language, which is not even understood by many Chinese (including me)

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...
