Hint: Hidden Officer Class: In create an officer mode there are usually only seven
basic officer classes. There is a hidden eighth class called "Champion".
The Champion class has base stats of 95 for all abilities and
possible max stats of 100 for all abilities. To make this class
available, first create 29 officers in create an officer mode.
Then, start to make a 30th officer. When you are prompted for
what type/class officer 30 should be, the champion class should
now be available. Please note that the champion class is available
for officer 30 only.

Hint: 227-The Officers List: Objective: Take Changan, Luoyang, and Chengdu (you
must have six other cities as well). Capture and kill Cao Rui.
You will lose if Zhuge Liang dies or if Chengdu is lost. This
should take five months.

On the first turn, go to HR/Job/Rank and give highest ranks to
Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang Bao, Chen Dao, and Guan Xing.
Changan is your first target. Draft Hillmen in Hanzhong, Zitong
and Wudu. Move Zhao Yun (with all the draftees), along with Zhang
Bao (with some of the draftees) to Hanzhong. Next month, have
a massive attack using all soldiers in Hanzhong under Zhao Yun,
Wei Yan, Zhang Bao, and Guan Xing. Maximize soldier allocation
and attack. (Leave unit with least soldiers to defend supply camp.)
At Changan you will be counterattacked by Zhong Yao (160 soldiers)
and Chen Qun (200 soldiers). Quickly draw Guan Xing to divert
Zhong Yao from the supply camp, then just have the three remaining
attackers all attack Cao Zhen. After that, attack the city, break
down the nearest gate (no need to leave anyone at supply tent)
and just go after Zhang He with Charges. Recruit/Imprison all
POWs.
Do not worry about the Nanman south of Jianning and Chengdu -
you have already defeated their King, Meng Huo. Pull most of the
troops from Jianning, along with Meng Huo, to Chengdu. Move the
troops again to Zitong, and finally to Hanzhong, further supplementing
the attacks on Changan/Luoyang.
The reinforcement of Changan depleted Luoyang, so attack with
Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing and any recruited warriors.
Give everyone their maximum amount of soldiers, and attack. At
Luoyang, let the enemy escape through the gates (weakest unit
on supply tent), then break down the nearest gate and Charge Cao
Rui to death.
Hint: Troop type selection: When choosing a troop type, press Select(3)
to get more than the usual cities troop types.
