War is not an option for the legendary Lu Bu, it’s a lifestyle. They offer permanent buffs for completing “collections” of those who he has defeated in battle and serve to make Lu Bu even more powerful in battle with personal bonuses, as well as increased loot and prestige, though they carry with them a permanent cost each of these accomplishments lowers the loyalty of those in your court and reduces your diplomatic standing with the other factions. Personal victories are Lu Bu’s conquests over the greatest warriors of China. From here on out, it’s up to you to lash out and conquer a China that despises you more by the day. Fortunately, you’re Lu Bu, so the armies that chase after you are no match and their heads will be sent to Cao Cao as you march to retake the city of Chen. This faction’s starting conditions aren’t the strongest as you’re likely to end up with only a single farmland territory soon after starting. Lu Bu is a powerhouse of a character that’s unchallenged on the field of battle, though his faction struggles with plenty of challenges that must be overcome internally. As my favorite character in the Three Kingdoms setting, I jumped into his faction with both feet and get exactly what I wanted. No offense to Sun Ce, but Lu Bu was the ultimate pull for me in A World Betrayed. Duels are never a good idea if Lu Bu is present. Additional story events and units have been thrown in as well, though the biggest changes involve the new factions led by Lu Bu and Sun Ce. Some of these factions are familiar and offer new challenges, so if you’re a Cao Cao or Liu Bei fan, there’s still something here for you. A new starting scenario that starts in 194 mixes things up with several new factions in a vastly different setup. As any good DLC should, A World Betrayed offers many new features to spice up its base game, Total War: THREE KINGDOMS, and even those experienced with the title will be able to find new ways to enjoy it.
