Lu Bu was possibly the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms Era. He took on all three of the Sworn Brothers of Shu by himself! But he was the worst general. He was eventually betrayed by his own generals and advisors, and executed by Cao Cao.

Lu Bu did work for Liu Bei for a time, which may have meant that he worked with Zhuge Liang, but I don't think so. I'll see if I can look up who his primary advisor was. One of Lu Bu's advisors, whom Cao Cao adored, went to the executioner with Lu Bu out of loyalty once Lu Bu was captured.

I forget which DW it is, but something my wife loves is when Lu Bu shows up to guard Hu Lao gate and one of the soldiers says, "It's Lu Bu! He's come to kill us all!". She gets a real kick out of it.

If you enjoy DW, try the Empire series for some couples time. My wife and I just got done invading China together in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in DW5 Empires, and it was hella fun. Lost of tactics, strategy and policy. It mixes the Romance of the Three Kingdoms kinds of games with the DW engine. As described by the clerk who sold it to me, it's like Risk and Dynasty Warriors.

Yeah, I remember that point in the game... I haven't played in it awhile, my boyfriend's PS3 is a little messed up and he has to ship it to Sony and get it fixed.

I don't know much of the history behind all the characters and whatnot, though its great how it was all real. Really a very great game. What really always got me is in one of the scenarios Lu Bu kills his own wife.
I loved playing all the different armies too... Wei, Shu, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, etc. ... I think Cao Cao's and Lu Bu's were the most fun.

And thank you for the game suggestion! I'll have to try it out. What system is it for? Is it from the company associated with DW... Koei?

I like Liu Bei and Sun Jian, myself. But, then, I'm a sap. I also like Nanman, partly because Meng Huo is depicted as such a goofball.

Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires is made by Koei. It is a Dynasty Warriors game. It uses the same combat system, but you get to select which officers enter an area for battle, and other such things. Sorry for the confusion!

You should read Sanguo Yanyi. I'll see if I can find the link I've got to a free online translation for you.

Haha, no problem! My boyfriend and I were at the video store a little while back and we saw a Dynasty Warriors type-game; well it WAS DW, but more of a one-on-one combat type of thing, I can't think of the title though. :/

I kinda wanna play DW6 for the PS3... it looked pretty kickass, not to mention pretty high-tech.

Hmm, is that an anime of some sort?

<sub>Oh my god. XD I love Dynasty Warriors!

I remember the first time that me and my friend got to the... Battle of Hu Lao gate? It was us two, plus sixteen bodyguards. We just got the game so our characters have like NO life, and my friend charged in with as much enthusiasm as Lu Bu in the game had when he came out screaming he was going to kill everyone.

Anyway, awesome stamp! XD</sub>

They made a LOT of changes to the characters, some FTW, some FTL, in my opinion. FTW Example: There are now several Archer characters, and Yue Ying is now a hotass redhead. FTL Example: A lot of the exotic weapons (Lu Xun's double sabers, Cao Pi's dual blade, Zhou Tai's iaito) got switched for more pseudo-accurate weapons, while other weapons (Liu Bei's Ancients Sword, Dian Wei's ax), got changed for apparently no reason. Most of the changes are cosmetic, and you can find examples on the web.

Sanguo Yanyi is the original novel that tells the tale of the Three Kingdoms. It translates as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", like the games. The novel, in turn is based on Sanguo Zhi, "Record of the Three Kingdoms", which is the historical record of the time. The Sanguo Yanyi heavily favors Shu, which is why you may notice that Liu Bei is usually painted as a hero of the people.

Still looking for that site...

I'm not great with all the battle names and everything since my boyfriend just whipped through the game... but playing as Lu Bu and Cao Cao was the best, honestly.
I was never too great so I spent quite some time charging around looking for vases with health... and of course nothing beat having Red Hare.

And thank you!

<sub>I honestly agree. Lu Bu's a great character to play with, especially in Nanman Campaign. God, that level made me so angry, especially with the swarms of soldiers. XP

Red Hare's the best! Have you ever ran Lu Bu over with it? XD

And no problem!</sub>
