I mean… I was mad cause of the same reason why I hate the famous novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the novel, Gan Ning was killed by Xiongnu nobody, when he died of illness likely due to a plague at the time. Zhu Ran was written to be killed by Zhao Yun after doing absolutely nothing. Just appear out of nowhere, and die. The most famous accomplishment of Zhu Ran happened after his “death”. It was him defending Jingzhou only using 5000 soldiers against the 10000+ brought by Cao Pi. He successfully held defense against more than 10 times his army without any backup for half a year. He forced Cao Pi to retreat (I assume it’s due to food shortages), and yet he gets this slander again? This is like giving Cao Pi an undeserved revenge, and another erasure of Zhu Ran’s feats Edit: Oops spelling error

Only time i ever made an active effort to kill a musou officer in Empires was when they were someone I held LOTS of distaste for (Who has only been Dong Zhou), and those who make things extremely difficult to deal with and refuse to join my kingdom after 5 offers which was Lu Su for the first time it happened who was always taking down my officers in defense battles but was also one of my favorite Wu officers. I honestly didn’t really care about Zhu Ran when i saw him in 8. Not to say I didnt like him, just that he was meh to me. I had no clue so many people liked him.

Look, I get it. Zhu Ran was killed by Cao Pi in his DLC Scenario in DW9. Same with Lu Xun and the rest of Sun Wu. But it's war, and people die. Deaths and injuries from other factions are inevitable. Sure this may cause loose ends, and trust me, I understand. I've endured even more pain than seeing those YouTubers executing Musou Officers just because they don't like them in Dynasty Warriors Empires games, and even this long-enduring suffering I had to go through in War Thunder. The pain feels excruciating enough.
The only deaths and injuries type of loose ends I will never accept is from those that use Treachery to backstab their subordinates for their selfish ambitions including those that were just newcomers to the series. Zhong Hui, for example, committed Treachery in his shitty DLC story in DW9 (worst DLC ever no objections, not to mention the Xiongnu will overwhelm the so-called "Chosen One" later on: no support = crushing defeat).
Cao Pi on the other hand, well... it's different. Sure, he has unified the whole land, but he, along with Cao Xiu, is aware of the Xiongnu Tribesmen. But as long as he's still lives as Emperor of Wei, the land will always be under control, as long as he has support from Cao Wei to fend off against these Xiongnus.
You see, when factions go against each other, and people die for that reason, then that's that. Again, it's a war, people die. There's nothing else to it. And trust me, I know how you feel when Zhu Ran died (that goes for the rest of you Sun Wu fans out there). This is why I never execute Musou Officers for every of my DW Empires playthrough... unless they've caused unnecessary loose ends.
People may say "bRuH, jUsT tUrN oFf oFfIcEr dEaThS", but I just wanna add more purposes of saving my teammates during battle so they don't die in there. Besides, you already know me as the World's Best Zhong Hui Terminator in DW9 Empires... AND The King of DW9 Empires lol.
