Destiny of an Emperor 2 Jingzhou Officers
4. Jing Zhou Generals
The area “Jing Zhou” is obviously vast and is split up in several little sections because you travel through the same spots over and over. Ultimately, this covers from Guan Yu meeting up with Liu Bei and then through Bo Wang Po, until the Wu Alliance is proposed.
Cai He – 2100 soldiers
Str. 75 – Int. 80 – Agi. 55 – A.P. 60 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: You fight him after Cao Cao (ie Liu Biao’s former warlords) captures your castles. He is at Jing Zhou castle with Cai Zhong and some others. Obviously, statistically he is no issue, but his soldiers do probably double yours. Do keep yourself at peak health as this battle is no pushover, but again their statistics just do not add up to yours so annihilate them while healing and casting high level attack spells steadily.
Cai Xun – 2200 soldiers
Str. 100 – Int. 70 – Agi. 95 – A.P. 60 – A.C. 40
Weapon – Sword
Land: Sea
Analysis: As you see he is a sea general. You fight him in a castle so fear not. He has some decent warlords with him, and I’d say I generally have more trouble with this battle (at Xin Ye) than the Jing Zhou battle previously. However, again they are lacking statistically but make up for it in sheer soldier force. Well, you have a decent party, and do focus on Cai Xun as either the first or second general to go.
Cai Zhong – 2000 soldiers
Str. 80 – Int. 75 – Agi. 45 – A.P. 60 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: Truly, he is Cai He’s brother. How else do you explain how similar they are number-wise? And again worry more so about keeping your soldier count high, especially early in this fight to maintain yourself in this war of attrition. The higher your soldier count is the more damage you will invoke. Eventually, your guys will even out their soldier level and it should not be an issue after that.
Cao Ren – 1900 soldiers
Str. 205 – Int. 155 – Agi. 100 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 40
Weapon – Sword
Land: Mtn
Ye Huo, Chi Xin, Bai Ma, Heng Fang, Ce Jian, Yan Dun
Analysis: Your first battle with Zhuge is against him and his two Wei friends. An ambush will be set and he will die of fire, just be wary of defeating him too early, as the game will lock if he dies before Guan Ping (the final ambush party) is sprung.
Gong Du – 1500 soldiers
Str. 120 – Int. 75 – Agi. 65 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: Oh my compared to the others this man is a beast no? Well, quite frankly these battles to settle Jing Zhou are some of the easiest forced battles you will come across. This is the hardest as it is the last and it has a whopping two generals to act as slaughtering practice for your newly formed party. With some of the combinations you can have in battle (Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, etc), this should be no contest.
Han Sui – 1800 soldiers
Str. 140 – Int. 110 – Agi. 75 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
TP – 60
Weapon – Sword
Land: Mtn
Lian Huo, Luo Mu, Chi Xin, He Yi, Heng Fang, Ce Jian
Analysis: Hey, a decent general. Well not really but compared to the Cai brothers he is quite good. Also, he is the only tactician (if you call 110 intelligence “tactician-worthy”) in the battle. Take him out first and go on. Anyone know what Han Sui is doing here? I thought he was with Ma Chao and Ma Dai at this point in history? Hm..
He Yi – 1200 soldiers
Str. 80 – Int. 45 – Agi. 85 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: A joke. I’m shaming myself writing a guide to tell you how to beat him. I think my 2 month old niece could mess around with the keyboard/controller long enough to find the all-out option which will take him down in 2 or 3 turns.
Huang Shao – 1400 soldiers
Str. 105 – Int. 60 – Agi. 95 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: Huang Shao is the lone general in the village preceding the one that He Yi guards. His stats are better all around the board, but that doesn’t mean you should consider doing anything but all-outing.
Huang Zu – 1900 soldiers
Str. 130 – Int. 45 – Agi. 128 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
Weapon – Sword
Land: Pln
Analysis: Huang Zu is at Jing Zhou castle with the Cai brothers, and he is a relative nuisance with his high if not odd-numbered agility. His attack is decent but still worse than Han Sui below him. Again, the battle is not too big of an issue so finish him off with Han Sui and exploit the weak Cai brothers last.
Jiang Xu – 1700 soldiers
Str. 80 – Int. 40 – Agi. 65 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Spear
Land: Sea
Analysis: Another worthless Sea-based general, he is the worst general in this battle. He is stronger than Kuai Yue but is weak tactically so leave him alone and all-out when it is just him left.
Kuai Yue – 1600 soldiers
Str. 45 – Int. 175 – Agi. 60 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
TP – 110
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Ye Huo, Liu Mu, Chi Xin, Bai Ma, Heng Fang, Yi Xin
Analysis: Kuai Yue is one of the better tacticians you have faced so far but alas he is a weak foe. However, do kill him first as he can heal his friends and cast spells.
Li Dian – 750 soldiers
Str. 130 – Int. 100 – Agi. 105 – A.P. 30 – A.C. 20
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: Along with Yu Jin, he was at the second gate in the Yuan Shao chapter, with Yan Liang. He is here for nothing other than to get burned by Zhuge Liang.
Liu Pi – 1300 soldiers
Str. 95 – Int. 80 – Agi. 70 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 25
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: You fight him in the last battle of the first section of Jing Zhou. Make sense? He is with Gong Du at the third village east of Jing Zhou, and he is worse than Gong Du so leave him (or just all-out) until Gong Du is toast.
Lu Kuang – 1800 soldiers
Str. 170 – Int. 55 – Agi. 95 – A.P. 55 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: Mtn
Analysis: Finally, a decent general. Along with his brother, Lu Kuang has a decent strength, but can be victimized with spells. Take advantage of this as he can take off a bit if you don’t get his soldiers down quick. Formerly of Yuan Shao’s forces.
Lu Xiang – 1700 soldiers
Str. 150 – Int. 55 – Agi. 100 – A.P. 55 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: Pln
Analysis: As you can see, Lu Xiang is basically a slightly faster and slightly weaker version of his brother Kuang. I’d go after Kuang first as the strength differential is probably more of an issue but they are basically the same so cast some spells and get their soldiers down and it should not be too hard. Also formerly of Yuan Shao’s forces.
Yu Jin – 820 soldiers
Str. 130 – Int. 115 – Agi. 45 – A.P. 15 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: N/A
Analysis: Like Li Dian, he is here to get burned and that is all.
Zhang Nan – 2100 soldiers
Str. 100 – Int. 40 – Agi. 75 – A.P. 50 – A.C. 30
Weapon – Sword
Land: Sea
Analysis: The last of the Cai henchmen that took over Jing Zhou and Xin Ye. Zhang Nan is at Xin Ye and is a bit stronger than Jiang Xu but again is nto that difficult. I’d take out the tactician Kuai Yue first but Zhang Nan might be the first or second general you go after once Kuai is dead.
Zhuge Liang – 9565 (low/medium)
Str. 80 – Int. 255 – Agi. 155
Weapon – Sword
Land: Pln
Rank – 3 / 34
Analysis: Hm. Well if you read the title of the game you’ll see it is the Story of Zhuge Liang. So yeah they’re probably going to make him pretty good right? Well he can use tactics on anyone and everyone, and his agility seems better than it was on the first one. In addition to using tactics on everyone it seems he is more apt to also take off more damage. So whether you are using him for his ridiculous tactics he gets (and the ridiculous TP he has) or if you want to have him as your fifth member to use tactics, he is going to be one of the top five generals in the game.
