-More clarification about finding the dead wood to blow the canal.
-Sorry, I really cannot add much more about the actual history of each character
since this game doesn't focus highly on the technical aspects on each character
(plus the history in the game isn't entirely accurate, and it's too complicated
to do such a thing.  Thanks anyway!)

-Fixed a little discrepency with losing Xu Zhe, thanks to
microwavekitten@hotmail.com for making it clear that my FAQ apparently sucks
that much that this person must make it a point to call me a "rookie" because I
overlooked an error I made 4 years ago.
=)
-Made another correction on Chi Tu Ma, thanks to everyone that e-mailed me about
this too.
-Oh heck, I made a ton of corrections.  Actually went through my e-mails and
made all the corrections (which there wen't much of left) and additions.  I'm
probably now done with this FAQ.

1. What's the point of this FAQ?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Basically, I played this game many many years ago when popular game carts were
bigger than you face, remember those good ol' days?  Well anyway, I found
this game many years later, but got stuck at one point and didn't find a
good FAQ at the time (this was a long time ago on GameFAQs), so I figured,
why not?

This walkthrough is NOT historically detailed (I'm not a complete history
buff like, say my roommate who's descendant happens to be Liu Bei, go figure),
but there are some good FAQs on GameFAQs if you want more detail about generals,
the history, etc.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
2. What the heck is "Destiny of an Emperor?"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
In Chinese history, there's a period of dynasties that constantly changed
with rulers and periods of time.  During a major popular time period, known
as the "Han" dynasty, China was divided into three major regions: Wei, Wu,
and Shu.  Basically, there were three major warlords fighting to conquer
all three regions: Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao.  This is where the game
takes place.

In light of the few history games out there, Capcom decided to make a game
about this time period.  Unlike another game of the same time period made
by Koei, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is more of an NES-style
Role-Playing game.  Except instead of having HP, you have soldiers, and
you "magic" is "tactics" (which are in Chinese, but you can get the gist of
them after awhile).

Unfortunately, this is a rare gem; there are no other RPGs on this time
period other than DoaE 2, which was only released in Japan and DoaE on
Gameboy.

If you want to play more games on this time period, you can check out the
currently on going game series Romance of the Three Kingdoms (which is
currently on NES, Genesis, SNES, PlayStation, and slated to be on PS2), and
Dynasty Warriors (a fighting game by Koei on PSX; a second one is planned
for PS2).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
3. What do I need to know about this game for NES?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Nothing really.  Just don't get discouraged if you can't understand the
names of the tactics (trust me.  If you want difficulty in a magic-type
system, try Phantasy Star).  Parts of each tactic will be reused, so you'll
know what kind of tactic you've learned (i.e. Lian Huo, Huo Ren).

I will list each tactic and level they're earned later in this FAQ.

This is a great game for beginners and for those who want to pass time.  The
music is excellent and the story's interesting.  One of my personal favorite
RPGs of all time




     3a. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who is Chi Tu Ma?
A: IIRC, in Chinese history, it was nicknamed "Red Hare."  It was known best in
Guan Yu's posession.  According to an e-mail I received:
>It actually was Lu Bu's but Guan Yu captured it at the battle of Xia Pi and it
becamehis.
(Thanks to jaizyn for the e-mail!)

Q: What's the easiest way to open the jail cell door?
A: According to Captain Mayhem (and many others that have e-mailed me about
this):
>the way the game is set up, if it makes more that one noise when you run into
the door it will never open. instead stand right infront of the door and quickly
press up about 6 times so that it makes one noise each time. no running
involved.

Another e-mail I received says:
>First, put huang zhong in the lead of your party, then hold against the gate
and keep pressing the 'B' button, the gate will open pretty quickly!!
(from sir Skitsomunkey)

Q: I went through your FAQ and *so and so item* or *so and so person* wasn't
there or said something else as if I did the quest already, etc.
A: Unfortunately, this game suffers from flag errors on very rare occasions.  I
can only suggest that either refer to a save, back it up (COPY HISTORY BOOK),
and start over.  There's really not much you can do when this happens.

Q: Do you have any codes/cheats?
A: No, and I will not provide any.

Q: Your FAQ sucks.  I can write a better one.
A: Great.  Go ahead and write a better one.  By all means.

Q: How the #$^#&*@ do I get rid of the Intro Letr???
A: According to Justin Gorres:
>Just go to the castle where you fight Ji Ling and Zhang Xun and 1 Rebel Force.
Go north of that castle BUT don't cross that bridge, instead, go right into the
opening.  follow the path and you should see a house, go in it and there will
be Shui Jing. 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
4. Do I need to purchase anything else for the game?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Just a NES console, a controller, a TV to play it on, and some patience.

GameGenies take the fun out of RPGs...
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
5. Can you give me some tips/secrets?  I can't get through the game easily!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The first thing I must reiterate continually is that if you are NOT familiar
with the tactics, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THIS FAQ HANDY!  Because some tactics
in your arsenal are tremendously useful, and some general that you fight
against will know some VERY dangerous tactics that you must defend against.
Look at the bottom of the FAQ for the Tactics section.
Just don't say I didn't warn you when generals start using An Sha against you.


Level 51 (Yes, I'm the one who posted this in GameSages too, so no copyright
infringements!  Heh.  Although I may have submitted Xu Zhou instead of Ji Zhou,
oops)  Many people see the old man in the outskirts Ji Zhou as someone who can
make an easy level up.  However, if you want to maximize the size of your
armies (applicable to the generals who can increase armies only, like
Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, Zhu Ge Liang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, etc.),
level them all up to level 50 first, then go to the old man.  He'll raise you
to level 51.  However, do NOT go to him before you get to level 50, otherwise
it won't work.  To get to the old man, go to Ji Zhou, and take one step outside
the east exit (don't leave Ji Zhou), then go straight north until you see a
white house.  Enter and talk to the old man.


Chi Tu Ma
The steps that Lu Bu refers to so you can find Chi Tu Ma is from Qing Zhou.
However, the only advantage to having Chi Tu Ma is that the general that has
him goes and strikes first, but that's it.  You cannot get rid of Chi Tu Ma, so
make sure you can spare an extra slot in you inventory.  When I can remember
from where to make the steps, I'll put it here.  BTW-from what I hear, Chi Tu Ma
was not Lu Bu's horse, but actually was Guan Yu's (and was quite famous). You
can him literally like he said, 1 yard (step) south and 8 yards (steps) west of
Fan Shui Guan fortress (the fortress southmost from Xu Zhou).  Note that you
have to go to the outer gate of Fan Shui Quan, then the first step south counts
as the 1 yard south step.  When you go 8 yards west, just go around the rock
(but the rock still counts as a yard).  If someone knows any other use for Chi
Tu Ma (maybe to Lu Bu?), please e-mail me.


        5a. Known bugs

To my knowledge, there really aren't many bugs.  Just mistakes in texts...

Otherwise, first things first:  How stats affect your general/party.

Strength (STR)-Basically, how much damage you can inflict, even when your
army is low.  The A.P. also affects how much damage you can do.  Also, if
your STR is high, and you have a very large army, you can do more damage.
But if you have low A.P. or a very low army, STR means jack.  Lu Bu will
do the most damage even with a low amount of armies, as his STR is 255.

Intelligence (INT)-Usually, high INT generals can use tactics, the higher
the INT, the more likely they are more suitable for tacticians rather than
a fighting general (there are many exceptions of course).  Also, the higher
the INT, the more tactics they can learn.  Another advantage to having high
INT is that not only will you have a higher success rate of performing tactics,
you can also have a better chance of defending against lower INT generals who
use attacking tactics.  Finally, the more INT your tactician has, the more
T.P. you will have at your disposal.  Zhu Ge Liang can utilize the most T.P.
out of your maximum since he has 255 INT.

A.P.-I'm thinking this means Attack Power.  This is reflected upon your weapon.
The better the weapon, the higher the A.P.  This wil affect how much damage you
will do.  But A.P. is nothing without armies or strength.

A.C.-I don't know that A.C. means, but it's basically your armor.  The better
your armor, the higher your A.C. rate is and defense rating.
(Addenum - I was informed this means "Armor Class", thanks to Battlemage_Li for
the e-mail!)

SOLDIER-Your army, your life source.  WIthout 'em, you can't attack.  Think of
it as your "HP."  Certain generals (namely the Tigers and very few others) will
grow in army size as your level up.  Also, army size can determine the strength
of attacks.  If an army way outnumbers their opponent, the likelyhood of
repelled attacks are greater.


Now, the fun part, THE WALKTHROUGH!
Note: This part is long.

*SPOILER ALERT*
THIS CONTAINS LOTS OF SPOILERS!!!  SKIP ALL THE WAY DOWN IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
RUIN THE GAME!



START:

I split the game up into different parts, and labeled them accordingly.
Sorry if I sound a bit corny ^_^

Part 1-The Yellow Scarves
Part 2-Betrayal, Dong Zhuo's tyranny
Part 3-The ambition of the Yuan brothers
Part 4-The Five Tigers
Part 5-A new rebellion
Part 6-Invasion!
Part 7-Fall of Cao Pi
Part 8-Rise and fall of Si Ma Yi


All quotes are untouched.  If there are errors, that how it is in the game.

"Although we were born on different days, we hope to die in the same hour, of
the same day, of the same year.  On our very souls, we pledge that this will
be true."

-This is a true pledge that the three made called the Promise at the 
Peach Tree Orchard-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1-The Yellow Scarves (aka the Yellow Turbins)

A bandit group known as the Yellow Scarves has taken over a large portion
of Wei, and is terrorizing the people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You start off in a nice little town.  Liu Bei's mother(?) sends him off to
help the current ruler, Tao Qian defeat the Yellow Scarves.  The first castle
to the west you'll run into is Xu Zhou.

-Provisions
-Armory
--Dagger
--Flail
--Bandana
--Robe
--Leather
-Supplies shop
--Elixir A
--Resurrect
--Steed
--Gullwing

Here, the townsfolk will talk about the Yellow Scarves and give you some
beginner's tips.  Tao Qian will ask you to take out the Yellow Scarves, and
when he does, a nice new kingdom will be waiting for Liu Bei.

From here, you can go North to Qing Zhou to fight Zhang Liang, west to Mt. Da
Xing to fight Zhang Bao/Cheng Yuan Zhi, or south to Tie Men Xia and fight
Zhang Jao.

In this case, you should go north.

small force?  We'll crush you in one breath."

When you first enter the town, a man will be standing there, Ma Yuan Yi, who
will attack you right away if you talk to him.  If you're too weak, avoid him
until later.

south of where you are.

was a sniveling fool.  At my hand, you will die!"

Tie Men Xia also isn't anything special (Is that Dong Zhou???).  The people
will talk about the Yellow Scarves retreating to Qing Zhou, and another will
tell you about capturing Han Zhong to find an easier way to attack Qing Zhou.
If you choose to capture Han Zhong and take the back door route, you must find
him in a random battle.  Make sure you're prepared to have a steed or money
in case he asks.

Here you have two alternatives: You can take Han Zhong and go the back door
route to fight the Zhang brothers easier, or take the front door and worry
about two extra generals.  Either way, go the back route, because in the
path to the castle, there's an axe.  Unless you don't need it, or if you're
really strong, go the front door; you'll get more experience.  Just remember:
Han Zhong MUST BE THE LEADER in order to open the bridge in the back door
path.

Back door:

Front door:

Once this is all done, peace will be restored, and Liu Bei will become ruler
of the Wei region.  He will leave your party and have his son Liu Feng join
you.  From here, go south of Tie Men Xia, through another fortress.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2-Betrayal, Dong Zhuo's tyranny

Lu Bu, a man of great strength who knows no loyalty, and Dong Zhuo, a
powerful tyrannical ruler teamed up to make an unbeatable combination.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next place you'll be going is Fan Shui Guan.  There you'll meet Sun Ce,
you will tell you he tried attacking Dong Zhou, but was betrayed by Yuan
Shu and he leaves.  You will fight Hua Xiong next.

~~~
"You want to attack Dong Zhuo?  Ha!  I, Hua Xiong, will dispatch you myself."

In Fan Shui Guan, another fortress. Yang Jin will ask to join you, and you'll find an axe. The people will talk of Yuan Shu's betrayal and Lu Bu at Hu Lao Guan, your next destination. After Fan Shui Guan, keep going, and if you go north in a mountain path, you'll find a cave. Go in and get all the nice goodies from there. You'll need it if you don't want to be fighting Lu Bu all your life. =-=Cave 1=-= 1000+ coins Gold Key As you exit the cave another general, Guan Ping will ask to join you (I would take him, 200 STR). From there, proceed west to Hu Lao Guan. ~~~ "I'm Lu Bu. I don't believe you will find me as feeble as Hua Xiong." ~~~ <<>> STR 255 INT 72 A.P 30 A.C 45 Sol 439 Tactics: None <<

But, like Zhang Fei, isn't the brightest. He can fall into tactics pretty easily, but don't take him for granted. His hits take off a lot, even when he's weak. Li Ru is opposite, if not worse. He has the strength of a grandma, yet has a few tactics that, unless you really leveled up, you have never seen yet. At Hu Lao Guan, you'll meet Cao Cao, who'll go meet Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao at Luo Yang. The other people talk of Lu Bu's strength and how you can have Lu Bu join your side; Wang Yun, an old man in a tent will tell you where you can get the Gemsword. Huo Hu will ask to join you as well. Your next target is Luo Yang, where Dong Zhou has taken over. You need to pass two gates to get to Luo Yang. Luo Yang Gate 1 ~~~ "Prepare to fight Li Jue." ~~~ <<

Wang Gui will ask to join you, and you'll find Yuan Shao, who will tell you that he too was defeated by Dong Zhou and must go back to Bo Hai to regroup. Go north in town to the only standing house. Inside, in the upper right corner, one of the tiles is red. Remember that Gold Key you found in the cave (if not, go back and get it)? Stand on top of the block, use the key, and voila, the gemsword. You can't equip it, but it'll come in handy, so make sure one of your attacking generals has it with him. Continue out to the next castle to meet with Lu Bu again. But this time, it'll be a bit different. ~~~ "Why do you keep hounding me.

All you have to do is show him the Gemsword, and 70% of the time he'll ask you to join you. Sometimes he'll just say "What's that?" Also be warned: if you refuse to give him the Gemsword or refuse him to join you, he'll say "I guess kindness is too overrated. Take this!" and he'll attack, most likely will be a heavy attack (which isn't good), so decide whether or not you want him beforehand. Keep in mind that you cannot lose the Gemsword unless you give it to Lu Bu. =-=Yang Zhou=-= -Inn, 3 gold -Recorder -Supplies shop --Elixir A --Ressurect --Gullwing Here, Cao Cao was put in the dungeon.

He'll ask you to rest, but early in the morning, you're waken up by Liu Bei. Cao Cao's messenger tells you that Yuan Shu has illegitimately taken over and is ruling in Nan Yang, and someone must stop him. Guess who here at the emperor's disposal to save China? From Chang An, go straight south, and you'll run into a bar (a pub mind you). Talk to the first man there, Zhao Yun, and he'll ask if he can join you.

Also, in the northeast side of town, a man will offer to sell you a key for 4000 gold. It's steep, I know but buy it; you'll need it later. Thanks to everyone for pointing this item out! After you talk to that man, go straight up, and then go straight left in the little inlet (there will be a tree above you, and water under you).

From there, go back to Bo Hai, and talk to the woman (who happens to be his wife). She'll move out of the way. Go straight through town to go past Bo Hai (of course, get some new weapons/armor first). The townsfolk will talk of Xu Zhe, aka Dan Fu, and will warn you to beware of Yan Liang and Wen Hun. Others will tell you Yuan Shao went east to Ji Zhou. Go out and go straight west, the go south around the mountains, you'll see a gate. Defeat it (with caution).

That's the very first village you started in. You can take a Gullwing to Xu Zhou or walk (I'd choose the latter). At Xu Zhou, go east and into the village. Go up the path on the right, and into Chi Zhou Ping's house. There will be an old man there. Is he Zhu Ge Liang? No...but he'll tell you that he already left. OK, so then go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house, but Zhu Ge Jin will tell you went went out again and will call you at Nan Yang, so wait there. ARGH! Go to Nan Yang, go to the records keeper and Invite Liu Bei. Go to the palace. Liu Bei will tell you that Jin came by and that his brother is home, so go there. (Isn't this exciting?) Go back to Zhu Ge Liang's house, Jin will tell you Zhu Ge Liang's sleeping but come in anyway. If you talk to Zhu Ge Liang, you'll see he's sleeping, and you can wake him up if you want to. If you, he'll complain, "Who are you? Can't you see I'm sleeping?! Is my house on fire or something? No? Then we have nothing to talk about. Get out of here!" If you don't wake him, you'll have an unseen choice. Here's what you do: Hit "No" then don't hit anything (otherwise Jin will say something to you). Wait a while (about 20 secs), and Zhu Ge Liang will suddenly start talking and will join you. He'll go to Gui Yang castle and will meet you there. How to get Zhu Ge Liang (ZGL for short) simplified 1. Go to ZGL's house and talk to Jin 2. Go to Chi Zhou Ping's house in Lou Sang village 3. Talk to Chi Zhou Ping 4. Go back to ZGL's house and talk to Jin 5. Go to Nan Yang and invite Liu Bei 6. Talk to Liu Bei 7. Go back to ZGL's house 8. Talk to ZGL, DO NOT WAKE HIM, and do not hit another button after you've said "NO." 9. Wait for an automatic response from ZGL, he'll wake up. 10. Go to Gui Yang, and get ZGL! Continuing on... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Continue past the bridge, southwest of Ling Ling. You'll notice enemies are MUCH harder.

However, they worry because Cao Cao is sick and Wei may be in turmoil soon. You need to visit the swordsmith to continue. If you haven't given him the ore yet because you haven't found him, first, make sure you picked up the ore in Cave 5 (take the lower path). The go to Fu Shui castle. Go south, and instead of going west where you came from, go east, then north, you'll see a house. Give him the ore, he'll start work. After you've defeated Cheng Du, go back to him, he'll tell you that he made the swords, but the Yellow Scarves stole them. After this happens, go back to Cheng Du and talk to Liu Bei, he'll ask Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to rule Chang Sha and Gui Yang...You don't have much of a choice. But there's a peace for now...Sun Ce is ruling Wu, Cao Cao is helping rule Wei, and Liu Bei has Jing Zhou and Shu with Zhang Fei and Guan Yu helping. However, shortly thereafter, a messenger from Wei comes and says that Cao Cao died from illness. Right after, another messenger says that Sun Ce was assassinated, and another comes and informs Liu Bei that Wu is attacking Jing Zhou. Liu Bei sends you back to Jing Zhou to help. Where to go from here... Make sure you have some gullwings... =-=Chang Sha=-= Go to Chang Sha and talk to Guan Yu. He'll give you his son Guan Xing to join in. Not AS good as Guan Yu, but good enough. People are disturbed by Wu's arrival. Another tells you that Lu Meng has Ling Ling castle. =-=Gui Yang=-= Go south to Gui Yang to meet Zhang Fei. He'll at first tell you the same thing Guan Yu says. He also tells you that Sun Ce's son Sun Quan took the imperial seal and is calling himself emperor (sound familiar?). Cao Pi, Cao Cao's son also took the throne and is calling himself emperor as well. He then tells you to go back to Liu Bei in Cheng Du...don't bother. Just go ahead and go back to Jing Zhou.

You'll have a nice warm conversation with him. To make a long story short, Liu Bei doesn't want to declare himself emperor because he doesn't want to be seen like Cao Pi and Sun Quan as an ursurper. But Zhang Bao and crew convince him that if he doesn't take the emperor position and take out Cao Pi and Sun Quan, then all is for naught, and the fighting rebels would have been completely useless. Liu Bei reconsiders, and takes up the emperor position. He sends you to attack Wei and Wu. Now go back to Gui Yang and go south. See something new there? Cross the bridge, and you will have entered Wei. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 6-Invasion! Liu Bei becomes emperor, and sets out to restore peace in Wei and Wu. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be VERY careful. The generals in Wei are quite a big jump from the generals in Shu and Jing Zhou. They now have over 10000 soldiers, very advanced tactics, and the most dreaded tactic, An Sha, which will kill your army instantly. Wei is not for the squeamish, go back to the Cheng Du area to build up if you think you're too weak. Otherwise, cross the bridge and proceed straight west to the cave. =-=Cave 6=-= -Saltpeter What's Saltpeter? Keep it, you'll need it. After the cave, go straight south and attack Jian An.

Zhou Yu built that there for a reason. Go into town and everyone will tell you that you have to clog the canal by creating a big blast. All you need is Saltpeter (which you hopefully picked up at the cave) and and branch from a 1000 year old tree. It just so happens that one of townfolk has a 1000 year old tree sitting in his backyard. Search around the tree for the Dead Wood, and then talk to an old man at the front of town. Dead wood: Basically, go to the northwest side of town. Look for the house with a lone tree behind it. Go inside the house and the man will tell you "1000 year old tree? I have one in my backyard!" Well heck, what a coincidence! Now go behind the house to the lone tree and go around each space around the tree and "check" each spot until you find "Dead Wood." Now bring all the items back to the old man in front of town. He'll make the powder, and blast the canal for you. Now you can go through! Proceed south to fight Zhou Yu.

These guys talk A LOT in this battle. Ce Mian them and you'll be all good. Most of the time, they'll do the same thing. Quotes: "How much does Liu Bei pay you to throw your lives away?" "You are strong. But you can't stand against my attack." "If you stand by us, we will treat you very well." "If you serve us, we can pay you well." ~~~ "How could you have withstood our attack?" ~~~ At this point, if you cannot handle another battle, use Gui Huan or Tui Lu to retreat, but if you use Gui Huan, you will need to get to Xu Zhou to get back to Luo Yang (which is the quickest route), unless you really want to walk from Ru Nan... Luo Yang 2 Part 2 ~~~ Si Ma Yi "Zhang Bao. My destiny is to conquer the whole land. You can't prevent it." ~~~ <<>> <<>> STR 200 INT 48 A.P 190 A.C 180 Sol 30767 Tactics: None <<>> STR 180 INT 84 A.P 190 A.C 180 Sol 27965 Tactics: Lian Huo, Shui Tu, Chi Xin, Wuo Jian <<>> STR 148 INT 216 A.P 190 A.C 180 Sol 24233 Tactics: Da Re, Hong Shui, Yin Xian, Ji Mian, Yi Xin, An Sha <<>> Accompanied Rebel Forces : 0 ~~~ "I didn't think defeat would come so quickly after my victory over Cao Pi. But if I am to die, I would have preferred it to be by Liu Bei's own hand, not one of his henchmen's. At least the land is finally united." *Si Ma Yi has died.* ~~~ Music changes again. =-=Luo Yang rebuilt=-= -Records All that's left is to go to the records keeper, invite Liu Bei over, and then go to the palace and talk to him. ~~~ "Zhang Bao Zhao Yun Guan Xing Ma Chao Huang Zhong Zhu Ge Liang Zhou Yu My people. Finally peace reigns again. I thank you all for your devoted effort. Through this great trial, I have gained much wisdom. I will rule fairly but with an iron hand so that no uprising can threaten peace again." ~~~ CREDITS! Congrats! You finished the game! You get to see different scenes of the game, and portraits of the different generals. Sorry, no "second quest." What more could you want, Japan? That's what Kessen and Nobunaga's Ambition is for ^_^ By the way, the characters in the quotes will change if you have different people in your party. *SPOILER FINISH!* *SPOILER FINISH!* My final army goes something like this in condescending order: Zhang Bao Zhao Yun Guan Xing Ma Chao Huang Zhong *Zhu Ge Liang Zhou Yu With Zhu Ge Liang as my primary tactician and Zhou Yu as secondary (only because he's the smartest general that knows An Sha and Wan Fu ^_^). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 7. Tactics -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here are a list of tactics, levels needed to learn and how much TP used. The most effective of all of these is Ce Mian and Ji Mian. Any tactic that doesn't need a success works every time is the most effective. I couldn't get figures for all the TPs and levels that they are learned mostly because either I wasn't able to calculate the TP amount used or the general already learned the technique when I acquired them.
