Hint: Lu Bu:
To get Lu Bu, fight Dong Zhou during the Dong Zhou story in an
all out war when you move your own people. Take all your men and
go straight for Lu Bu as soon as you find him. Once defeated,
take the officer that has him to a very safe place and finish
the rest of the level. Make sure to have powerful people by starting
from the beginning, as Lu Bu has 108 war ability. Be sure to take
Lu Bu quickly so there will be a better chance of getting him,
and you do not have to execute him. Note: Sometimes Diao Chan
will appear. Take her after defeating Lu Bu. WarDragonIX.
You can also get Lu Bu when you are Sun Jian through diplomatic
situations as follows. You must do this at the beginning of the
Anti-Dong Zhou coalition. It helps to have the special created
characters that can make people defect well. On the very first
diplomatic stage, check if his loyalty is low. At the beginning
his loyalty should still be low. Use your created characters to
lower it further, then try to hire. He may not go for it the first
time. Keep trying and he will eventually give in. However, you
will have to reward him. If you do not, he will quickly betray
you. He is worth a lot of money when it comes to how many battles
you can win with him. Richard.
Hint: Easy money:
Become a prefect in a city that is surrounded by friendlies, and
have a city near you that is on a front. It helps if the city
on the front is fighting a hopeless battle with one or no reinforcements
(for example, against Ma Teng in Scenarios 196 to 210). Learn
how to increase your city's gold, either by pillaging or by playing
merchants. To play merchants, buy supplies when the numbers are
high, sell when they are lower. It is possible to buy for 11 gold,
then sell for 7 gold, but not in the same council. Simply accumulate
a lot of money and your liege will assign you to support the city
on the front. Every time you properly support them, you will be
given 500 gold, and 1000 fame and deeds. If you have someone under
you with trade skill, use them to buy and sell. Note: It helps
if you are next to an enemy city that will be taken over soon;
this will cause many riots to lower safety to 0. Pillaging will
then always be successful, even if it is under your force. JCDenton_4.
Hint Easy items:
If your fame is relatively high and you observe at the fields,
the farmers there will either give you money that they scraped
together for you or even better tell you that they found an item
buried in the fields. This item can be just about anything; even
rare items. Leded.
Hint: Acquire "green" skills:
You can learn any of the skills: Persuade Reverse,
Taunt, Confuse, or Rumor. If you are training and another officer
wishes to join you, if they happen to have a green skill that
you do not know, you have a small chance to learn it after you
have finished training. To increase the probability of an officer
coming to train with you, make sure you have a high bond with
them. Leded.
Hint: Acquire "red" skills:
To learn Fight (Tower), Plan (Factory), and Govern
(Market), you do not have to max your WAR, INT, and POL. Instead,
just get an item and make sure its effect is equal to your max.
For example, if WAR maxs at 90 without Fight, then current WAR
80 + Seven Star Sword + Observing Tower = WAR max is equal to
100 = learn Fight.To learn Charm, get the Awards of Valor or Imperial
Jade Seal; or max CHA and Observe Fields. To learn Guard, make
the Barracks Trust = 26+.
Hint: Acquire "yellow" skills:
You can learn yellow skills from any non-sage officer.
To gain Weather or Medicine, your officer must have at least a
Friendly relation to the officer with that skill. If Friendly,
there is 1% to 10% chance of learning. If Trusted, there is a
15% to 20% chance of learning. If Loyal, there is a 25% to 35%
of learning. If Sworn Brother, there is a 40% to 50% chance of
learning. Note: The percent chances are approximate.
Hint: Acquire skills and tactics:
After your officer has a chance to get married and you get married,
your spouse will teach you skills and tactics from time to time.
You can learn any skill or tactic except the special skill for
each set. Leded.
