HISTORY

05/11/2002 - First release


=========
DIPLOMACY
=========
To make alliance with other rules, you must name an envoy with the [Diplomacy]
skill and send it to the faction's Capital (the city with a Flag on it).

Each faction can be in one of four states...
War    : You can and often must attack those factions to win the chapter.
Normal : You can ally with this faction, declare war on them, or ignore them,
         they aren't dangerous.
Ally   : You are allied with this faction, they'll send renforcement to help
         you in battle if you send only one army and if they are close enough
         to the fight.
Neutral: You can't interact with this faction for the lenght of this chapter.


============
RECRUITING
============
Do everything you can to capture as many enemy officer as you can in the early
battles. This is especially important if you start with few officers
(*cough* Liu Bei *cough*). You don't want to enter a battle being outnumbered
4 to 8...

The first thing you should do when you start a new turn, is to scan for new
civilians to recruit. Start by checking your officer list (R2 button) and
check the friend list of each officer for names in "white" (Green are with Liu
Bei, Red with Sun Ce, Blue with Cao Cao and White are still unaligned). When
you find an unaligned officer you want to recruit, simply appoint your officer
as en envoy and send him. Try to acquire officers with good skills at all
cost. Skills like menace, strategy, spy and other 4-stars rating skills
(check the "Skills" section) can help you tremendously.

Next, do the same but with the civilian(L2 button). Because officer A might
have B in his friend list, but B might not have A in his friend list. Anyway,
when A meets B, recruiting take place. Ok, enough with the algebra... So just
look in the civilian list for officers who have friend shown in your faction
color (ex : green if Liu Bei, etc..)

If possible, try to recruit any civilian not aligned (L2 button). Even if they
are weak, it has many benefits. First they could be friend with another strong
officer. This will also prevent other rulers from recruiting them. Finally,
recruited officers will be added to your officer database.

Your envoy can go in any city within range so it might takes a few turns to
reach their destination. Don't forget to move them each turn ! Take the habits
of using the R1 button, to review all your armies and envoys.

If your envoy visit an enemy city on his trip, he has a chance of getting
recognized by the guards and if so, will return to the capital. Envoys with
the "Diplomacy" skill are always allowed to pass freely anywhere.

When your envoy has recruited the new officer, simply "release" him and he
will teleport to the capital immediately.

If your recruiting officer is in an army, you can send the army and the
recruiting will take place.  (After the fight if the target city is occupied
or immediatly if its vacant)


======
ARMIES
======
The number of officers you can appoint in your armies is directly related to
the number of cities you have under your control. So if you have only one city,
you won't be able to appoint a lot of officers, even if they are free and
available.

A level 0 officer start with a maximum of 2000 soldiers. Each level gained
raise the maximum by 1000 soldiers.

One army is composed of four officers : A Commander, a strategist and two
generals. The Commander has to be an army leader (shown by the flag under
its portrait). I usually choose an officer with high LEA to lead an army.
Don't put a weak officer in this spot because if he gets defeated in battle,
you'll automatically lose the battle. You strategist should be an officer with
fairly high INT so you can use trumps in battle. Whenever possible, try to
have a strategist that can use the "Builders" units. Your two generals should
be officers with high STR.

Review the tactics used by each officers. For each officers, try to take as
much different skills as possible. You'll have more opportunities to get an
officer involved in a combo if he has [Raid], [Charge], [Pierce], than if he
has [Raid], [Charge], [Charge].

Try to use unit type that raise the primary quality of your officers. For
example, Rangers are the best for making LEA Commanders, Cavalry for making
STR officers and builders for your INT strategist.

Put the items you find to good use !

The first thing I do when I start a new scenario is to disband all my previous
armies and reform them. This way I can place the new officers I've recruited
last chapter in my main army. Start by forming 2 strong armies with your 8
best officers. They will be your main strike force and if possible always have
two spies coming along with them. ("Envoy" with the [Spy] skill take part in
battle so you can have a total of 10 officers on your side in a battle). Then
make two other armies with your next 8 best officers. They will be your
secondary army used when you need to capture many cities to reach an
objective. In the later chapters, I also make a third army that will act as a
backup to the main strike force or the secondary army if they need to rest
away from danger to regain their troops.

If you can, try to put officers who are friends in the same army. Randomly,
when they move on the map, interaction between the two could occurs, resulting
in an always positive bonus.

If your army lose many soldiers in a battle, let it rest a turn or two.
Resting in a fort (the grey bricks) will not restore soldiers, you must be in
a city. The best recovery rate you can get is when the officers aren't in an
army and simply resting at the capital.

If one of your officer is defeated in battle he will return automagically to
your capital, leaving an empty spot in your army. If you have a backup army,
disband the injured army and reform it in your capital a few turns later.
Don't reform your disbanded army until everybody is ready to go. A general in
an army will replete it's soldiers much slower than a free officer.

After each battle, you officer gains some experience with the troop type he is
commanding. Check to see if a new troops have been unlocked and [Switch] to
them if wanted.


========
PLANNING
========
As I have said earlier, the number of officer you can use in your army is
factor of the number of cities you have under control. So when you have the
time to do so (or if you have a weak army doing nothing, send them to as much
vacant cities as possible). At the end of each scenario, you'll often gain
and/or lose cities, but any cities not affected by the inter-scenario story
and already controlled by you will remain under your control.

Check how much time you have to complete your objective. If you have 8 turns
to do something you can do in 4, that means you have 4 more days to conquer
vacant cities (where you could find powerful items), recruit new officers and
raising your officer's levels. To make sure you don't have bad surprises,
start by almost completing the objective, i.e. Move your army just beside the
last city you need to capture to win the scenario. Also, it's not always wise
to wait until you have one turn left. For example, in one case, I waited until
the last turn to capture the enemy city, so I move my army on the enemy city
and "End turn", but then I see that the enemy general also moved he troops
toward my army. Result, the battle took place in my fort instead of in his so
even if I beated him, I lost the scenario because my army was not in his
base !!!

Perhaps the most important tips : Always save your game before ending your
turn ! This will save you tons of frustration if things don't go has
expected. For example, if you get a very crappy terrain to fight on, just
reload the game and the terrain layout will be different.

When you start a new chapter, save your game in a dedicated slot that will
remains untouched until you finish the current scenario. It is always useful
to be able to restart a scenario when something goes wrong with your planing
(Oh no, I have 1 turn left and I need 3 turns to reach my objective. I also
have only one saved game from the previous turn, so you can call me stupid...)

As with most Koei's games, you can press L1-L2-R1-R2-Select-Start
simultaneously to reset the game. It is much faster then pressing the reset
button as the game will stay loaded.

You'll want to develop the new officers you will recruit. The way to do this
is to place them in an army and send the army to attack Normal and/or Enemy
kingdoms. This means that even if your current objective as Liu Bei is to
demolish Sun Ce, nothing prevent you from attacking Cao Cao ! Launch an
attack with your backup army so they can gain deeds and levels. If you feel
unsure of the outcome, do it toward the end of the scenario. (When a new
scenario begins, all armies are completely refilled with soldiers) So your
officers can be defeated without serious consequences. Just make sure they
don't get captured by the enemy !!!


=======
BATTLES
=======
When the battle starts, scan every enemy general. Look for the ones with
[Pit]/[Taunt]/[Muddle] tactics. Those are the one you should worry about
and you should try to capture/defeat them as soon as possible. If you can
[Pit]/[Taunt] an enemy officer before he does it on you do so, even if you
are not ready to do a combo on him. A single [Pit]/[Taunt] won't kill him so
you'll have time to [Surround] him after.

The prime prerequisite for winning a battle easily is morale. So use your
"builders" or Spies to build a supply depot as soon as possible. Depots raise
the morale of every friendly officer in a 3 square radius. High morale allows
you to move your troops before the enemy, activate your officers special skills
and most important of all, allow your officers to move one after the other
without having an enemy moving between two of your moves. For example, let's
say the officer you want to capture is "4", that means that only officers 1,
2 and 3 play before him. If you're lucky, officers 1,2 and 3 will be yours
and you will be able to attack/combo him before the enemy officer turns. Now
imagine that all your officers morale is above 90 and that the highest enemy
morale is 76. That means that when a new turn start, you'll be able to move
all your officers before the enemy have its turn. That's a huge advantage
because you can plan your tactical layout at the start of the turn knowing
that no enemy officers will prevent you from doing so !

When possible, build the supply depot on a flat terrain at the back of your
army. Having the supply depot behind your army will prevent the enemy from
destroying it, and as your armies will be moving forward, the depot won't be
in the way.

You should move your entire army on a zone of the battlefield away from
rivers, shores, hills, and mountains. The reason is simple, you'll spend most
of your battle time around this zone, so you need to have maximum mobility.
Plains, grass and barren square are perfect spot for your army. Talking about
mobility, when your officers reach morale level 95+, you should no longer need
the supply depot so destroy them if they are in the way.

Don't build fence or towers. Fence prevent the enemy from coming at you, which
is bad as you want to [Ambush] them. Towers only do damage, so they won't help
you capturing enemy officer. Anyway, with a good combo, you do enough damage
to kill any officers without towers. The only use I've found with fence and
tower is if you have a particular officer who is really weak and don't want
him to be [Pit]/taunted. Build a tower or fence in front of him to prevent
this. However, a better solution would be to hide him behind the supply depot
instead.

The basic tip for battle is : DON'T MOVE TO ATTACK THE ENEMY ON HIS SIDE OF
THE FIELD !!! Instead, let him come to you. This way, while the enemy is using
his turn to move his troops forward, you can let your officers gain morale by
sitting in front of the supply depot and this give you time to place each
officer to a position where he will be the most useful. Sometimes, some enemy
officers don't move and stay on their side. Don't care about them, concentrate
on the enemy units coming toward you, when they are defeated, this will make
stale enemy officers get on the move. (Wow, that was a great combo, I want to
be victim of one too !) The only exceptions to this is when the enemy general
is hiding in a castle. In this case start by getting rid of enemy officers
outside the castle, then assault the castle.

While your army is waiting for the enemy officers to cross the battlefield,
try to order them in a straight line (horizontally) in front of your supply
depot. As the enemy approach, adjust the line to match their advance. If the
enemy officer is going for the center of your line, make your two-left most
officers advance a square or two. Same on the right. The goal is to make a
"U" and make the enemy officer penetrate deeply into it before surrounding
him. So the officers on the sides should be facing to the left (for officers
on the right) and to the right (for the officers on the left), this will
allow them to quickly take the enemy unit in [Pincer] when the enemy is
correctly located.

If your officer finishes his move facing an enemy don't hesitate to do a
normal attack on him. You will gain some deeds doing so. However, if he is
very weak, and you want to capture him with combos, don't attack. That would
simply defeat him without reward.

There is an infinite number of combos you can do. However, some tactics
complement each other better than other, for example doing a [Surround]
followed by a [Pincer] done by the unit coming to help in the [Surround].
Refer to the Combos section for tips & tricks on common combos formation.

Move your "builders" (usually the unit of your strategist) and your spies in
the middle of the army. This way, they will be able to quickly go heal or
remove confusion from a friendly unit using their invaluable [Heal] ability.
If one of those has nothing to do, have him heal units nearby. Finally, don't
hesitate to use your tactics ! When a unit runs out of tactics, you simply
have to "heal" it and you'll have one tactic back.

Try to get the enemy to advance as close as possible without him being able
to launch a tactic. Press the [] button and check the enemy officer, you'll
see it's possible movement range. The movement range is always longer if the
unit is marching straight forward so act accordingly. For example, suppose
that if the enemy officer moves three 4 square forward (his maximum moving
reach) he comes in front of one of your officer. In that case, he will
certainly launch a tactic. To prevent this, simply move your unit one square
back, or one square to the side. Thus the enemy will advance 4 squares but as
none of his 4 sides touch your army, you are totally safe (and if he is an
archer, you suffer only minor damage). You'll now be in an excellent position
to combo him next turn as you should move before him and he is within reach.

Also when deciding which direction to face after a move, there are two factors
: 1- Try to prevent you unit from being assaulted by side-dependent tactics
like [Flank] and [Pursue]. 2- Try to guess in which direction you'll be
moving next turn and face this direction, this will allow you to cover greater
distance in that direction. For example, if your target is an enemy unit,
don't make your unit face where the enemy is now but where he will be next
turn.

You can also lure an enemy officer so that he becomes surrounded easily. The
thing is that the AI don't see your army's layout, it only try to do the best
move possible at the given time.  So, when an enemy unit is surrounded, it
will try to get out of the middle, not because it feel in danger but because
all your units are facing him and so he can do greater dammage by attacking
on the flank of one of your units.  Try to put one of your units in a position
where the enemy can move to attack its rear. (90% of time, the enemy will
move there so you can prepare a pretty combo on this square.  This is
especially effective once the enemy unit has run out of tactics.

Your spies also have an ability called "entice", enabled when the enemy
officer in front of them as less than 40 morale. However, you can never
entice the enemy Commander. There are also some particular officers you
can't entice. You can almost entice any no- name officer. Enticing make
the enemy officer join your camp immediately in battle. He'll also
permanently join you at the end of the fight. [Awe] is a good ability to
use on officer you want to entice. It cause a huge morale decrease (I've
had Zhang Fei's [Awe] decrease enemy morale by 26 outside of a combo !)
and it doesn't do damage, so they don't lose troops (remember enticed
officer will participate in the battle on your side so you want them at
full force.) The spy doing the enticing will teleport to the capital. Don't
forget him there !

Use your spies "Destroy" ability to its fullest when assaulting a castle.
Their destroy ability is much stronger than the destroy ability of your army
officers. They can destroy (in a single attack) any part of a castle
(including the walls), any towers, any depots and any fence ! Talk about
efficiency :)

You should try to capture as many officer as you can. This way, you gain some
new officers and you gain deeds and experience to level up your officers and
have them learn more tactics to use in battle. Sure you could only
[Pit]/[Taunt] the enemy Commander and combo him to death so you win the
battle, but later, if you find yourself losing battles because the enemies
officers are level 7 and you are only level 3, you'll know why...

Concentrate on one enemy unit at the time. You'll do bigger combos this way.

The exact formula to calculate the number of hits required in a combo to
capture an enemy officer is still unknown. However, it seems like the enemy
officer's level plays an important role.

When you are preparing your armies layout for a [Taunt]/[Pit] combo, don't
place the officer that will [Taunt]/[Pit] in the same line as your target.
Move it to one side. If an enemy officer sees that he could be currently
pitted/taunted, he will move to the side to avoid this. When everybody is in
place for the combo, move your pitter/taunter in line with the enemy unit and
trigger it. He'll never see it coming ;)

At the start of a day in which you'll launch a complex combo, you should save,
so if you forget something or make a mistake moving one of your unit, you'll
be able to reset-reload the battle and avoid this mistake. Common mistakes :
placing an officer behind an officer who is trying to [Decoy], having one of
you officers on the wrong tactic, turn order mistake, etc...

How do combos works ? When an officer launch a tactic, a combo starts if the
tactic used have an direct effect on another allied officer or on another
allied officer's target. An example of direct effect is if the enemy targeted
by the combo goes in front of a friendly unit, this unit will try to launch
its own tactic if the tactic's conditions are met. Allies positive effects
([Aid], [Revive], [Boost], etc) works if their target has participated in
the combo. If more than one officer can use their tactics at the same time,
they go in morale order. The one with the highest morale will go before the
other. So if you have an enemy surrounded by three guys with [Pierce] and one
guy with [Decoy], it's imperative that the one with [Decoy] has the lowest
morale. Else, he will act before the other officers and will prevent them from
using their tactics resulting in a smaller combo. If two officers have the
same morale, the officer whose turn came first will also go first using its
tactic. This could be complicated, but in fact this is very convenient as
explained in the next point...

At the start of a day, start designing your combo. Find your target, and now
try to place every units that move before him in a place where they can
participate in the combo. Check to see which one of your officer is the last
to play before the enemy, he will be the one who trigger the combo. If he is
too far to reach the enemy, choose the previous friendly unit (in turn order).
Once you've found the unit that will trigger the combo, check to see which
tactics he can use and what he can do to the enemy, place your other officers
accordingly. Then when it's turn comes, start the combo, sit back and enjoy.

Don't listen to the manual : don't use [Boost] and [Revive] at the beginning
of a battle. Instead, let the supply depot do its job. Rather, use [Boost]
and [Revive] later to easily add hits in you combos. [Revive] and [Boost]
are also the two easiest tactics to use for starting a linked combo as they
can be used on any ally anywhere.

Use your strategist to freeze an enemy unit using "Link". Just remember that
you can't use a tactic on a linked enemy. So make sure you'll be able to
launch a tactic on another enemy unit or use a [Revive]/[Boost] on an allied
unit. As soon a tactic is used successfully, this will trigger the link and
launch the strategist combo.

If you only have the enemy Commander left to beat and don't want to capture
him (or can't : not enough tactics left to combo him or if you know he can't
be captured), you can use your strategist to link a tactic on him to freeze
him. Then, have your officers do normal attacks on him without using tactics.
Rinse and repeat. (Yeah, I know this is a cheap strategy :)


======
COMBOS
======
To capture enemy officers in battle, you need to do a high hitting combo on
them (3+ most of the time).  The exact number of hits in a combo needed to
capture an officer is still the subject of intense debate on the forums.
Some said it was in direct relatation to the enemy level but I often capture
lvl 6-7 officers with 3 hits combos so...  In my opinion, the number of hits
needed is specific to each officers and can differ from one chapter to the
other.

Remember that some characters can never be captured when they are fighting for
their "historical faction".  For example, Zhuge Liang can be captured if he is
in Wei's army but not if he is in Shu's army.  Also faction leaders can't be
captured until their faction are destroyed and they become civilians.

Officers that can't be captured
Shu's army : Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang.
Wei's army : Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Sima Yi,
             Cao Pi.
Wu's army  : Sun Ce, Huang Gai, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Sun Li, Sun Quan.

I have illustrated some common armies layouts used to do high combos.  As I'm
not much of an ASCII artist, I'll simply redirect you to my web site, check
the combos section at http://www.hibou.qc.ca/tactics/ and you'll find yourself
racking 6+ hits combos really soon !
