7) Pang De (I think) Ma Teng
8) Shamoke
9) Zhang Bao Lui Bei
10)Zaishi Ci
How to obtain these players:
1/2) Pick Lui Bei in senarios 1,2,3,4 and you'll automatically start out
with them.
3) Pick Dong Zhou in scenario 1.
4) Pick Lui Bei in scenario 4. The only time I found him in the game
was in 17. Xiapi around 200A.D.
5) I believe he works for Cao Cao, but I'm not sure. If you pick him in
scenarios 3 or 4 he might be there.
6) Pick Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, or Liu Bei in scenario 1. I would
recommend Liu Bei, ally with Yuan Shao, build your army up to 50,000
soldiers or so and then take over cities 5.Nanpi, 2, and 3.Daixian.
Kepp on searching in these cities and Zhao Yun will turn up around
195A.D. Or start with Liu Bei in scenarios 3 or 4.
7) Pick Ma Teng in scenario one, Ma Chao will join you in 3-5 years.
Favorite Player: Liu Bei.
Liu Bei starts out with only two other generals in scenario one.
But his charm and his two generals of outstanding abilities will prove
advantageous in the long run. First Ally with Yuan Shao. Because he's
the only neighboring ruler who really threats you. Then build up your
army and your economy. Guan Yu's three sons, Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Guan
Sou, will all join you around 200, 205, 207 (I'm not sure about the
years). And Zhang Fei's son Zhang Bao around 200 A.D. (All four of
these have abilities to be generals and Zhang Bao has a high war ability
of 92, Guan Xing 88). If Cao Cao or Dong Zhou takes over a city near
you, ally with them too.
Items that will help you:
1) Grey Lightning- Mobility +1
2) Stallion of the storm- Mobility +2 (found in one of the northeastern
cities) Just keep on searching around Ping Yuan, Nanpi, Beh Hai, and
cities 1 and 2.
3) Red Hare- Mobility +2 (I believe Lu Bu starts out with it in scenario
1)
4) Luminous Sword- War +10
5) Sword of Trust- War +8
6) Sword of Seven Stars- War +7
7) Black Dragon- War +5 (This is Guan Yu's weapon in all scenarios)
8) War Manual of Sun Szu- Intellect +10. Politics +5.
Other scrolls, New Treaties of Meng De, Might Book of Magic, Way of
Peace.
9) Hereditary Seal- Charm 100. Politics +15
(In scenario 1, try to take over 11.Luoyang and just keep on
searching the city) In the other scenarios, I believe Cao Cao has it.
Warring Techniques-
If the enemy's troop size is about the same as you ruler. Place your
ruler inside a castle and attack the enemy's units, you'll inflict more
damage on your enemy and take less more damage. (For example, the enemy
attacks you with a unit of 8,000 soldiers, you place your ruler (8000
soldiers) inside a castle and attack the enemy, you'll kill off 400
soldiers from your enemy's units per attack and your enemy will kill off
200 soldiers from your unit per attack. Also, if you have a lot more
troop than the enemy invading your city. Have them standby so you don't
use up too much food. You can always have them join the battle by
placing your ruler in a castle and clicking on the join command.
