Unlock Dong Zhuo 'link' - Total War Three Kingdoms

"Want Dong Zhuo in TW: THREE KINGDOMS? Start an early-190s campaign and avoid immediately allying major powers — Dong Zhuo rises when the court is unstable. He appears via event chains tied to Imperial turmoil, and you’ll recruit or defeat him depending on your campaign and installed mods/DLC. Play him as a hard-hitting, tyrant-style lord: heavy shock troops, aggressive expansion, and expect diplomatic fallout. Check Steam Workshop mods if you want him playable from turn 1."

Dong Zhuo is unique among the game's factions. He represents the decaying authority of the Han Empire, wielding the young Emperor as a puppet to bully the warlords of China into submission. His mechanics are aggressive, his units are terrifying, and his playstyle is distinctively "total war." total war three kingdoms unlock dong zhuo
