                                Game Objective
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
As one of 32 rulers, you must conquer all 43 cities of China. You have an
unlimited amount of time to do this.

Conquering China is not an easy task. You need a to build strong armies for
your kingdom, Raise your city's Farm, Dam, Economy and Technology. You can
also befriend/ ask for cease-fire on powerful countries.

I'll explain the other stuff later at this faqs.

                               General Strategy
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Pick a strong leader.  Scout the scenarios to identify the traditional
successors of a ruler.

Appoint your most intelligent general to be your advisor. The higher the
general's intelligent the better it would give advice.

Scout on your surrounding cities and try to befriend them if needed. The 
lower
their hostility rate the less chances they'll attack you.

Always train your soldiers with a good general and always leave someone who 
has
the recruit ability

Recruit as much General as you can for they'll come in handy at a point in 
the
game

When attacking a city, always have enough soldier to defend your city you'll
never know when a ruler will attack you.

Also when conquering a city appoint the best general you have and be sure 
he/she
must have the loyalty of 90 - 100.

Try outsmarting your enemy with some plots like arson, gossip etc...

When hidding a general to an enemy city be sure he has 95 - 100 loyalty

After battles try to see the talents and stats of a captured enemy general 
and
try to recruit him/her. If he/she asked for freedom take him to prison never 
ever
execute a general unless you really want him to die.(hehehehe reminds me of 
CaoCao)

Focus investing on cities with 200,000 people, smaller cities can develop to 
slow for
your kingdom.

And most of all save always, this may help you.

                       Frequently Asked Questoins
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Q. Why is it that this game don't have any walkthroughs?
A. This game can be different every time you play it. Other rulers can do
   different actions every time you start a new game. For example the first
   the first time you've played it you were attacked by a Ruler and the next
   time you load or start it again thay can do a different action. Got that?

Q. How can I prevent my Officers from death?
A. It's easy you can't. But I know a way to lenghten their lives a month or 
more.
   First when you have an Officer who is in at the age of 49 or 50 they can 
be
   the next one to die so save your game every month and when the message 
that
   one of your officers died load your last saved game file which is just 
the month
   you last played on. Remember each time you play there can be many 
possibilities
   that can happen.

Q. How come some item's my ruler have don't have anything special?
A. Am sure it was fake. I don't know if there are anything special about 
this fake
   items but they can be given to an Officer who has low loyalty points.

Q. Why won't this officer join me?
A. If you try several times to recruit an officer, but he repeatedly turns 
you down,
   chances are your ruler is not very virtuous. In Historical mode, it may 
be that the
   officer you're trying to recruit is not very compatible with your ruler.
