Wu Forces Scenario – *** Difficulty
Target 1 – Defeat Zhao Yun and Ma Chao in 10 minutes.
Target 2 – Take Wu Ling Castle, Ling Ling Castle and Chang Sha castle in 15 minutes
Target 3 – At least 10 of your units survive until victory.
Strategy – Prepare for a Jian Yong ambush right away. Guan Xing then rushes in and Liao Hua a little later. Once this initial Shu onslaught is quelled you can take out Wang Fu to the east but then Cheng Pu at Wu Ling Castle is going to need your help. Guan Ping and Xiang Lang are in here along with numerous Lieutenants.
Watch your back as Hou Jin and Ma Chao are bound to rush in. Ma Chao needs to be defeated within 10 minutes along with Zhao Yun (who is with his subgeneral Fei Yi to the northwest). After you take Ma Chao out at Wu Ling you should have the castle, so head south to deal with the reinforcements. Liu Feng, Ma Liang, Chen Dao and Huang Zhong are all down there by Ling Ling.
You probably won’t have much time left to get Zhao Yun but you have to go through the Shu Main camp door quickly to get over to Zhao Yun’s side. You should at least have a few minutes left at this point – just skip Zhou Cang and Ma Su for now and get them later. After Zhao Yun is taken care of, help at Chang Sha where Meng Da, Zhuge Jun and Wei Yan are.
There should only be a few odd enemy units left at this point, notably Yan Yan, Ma Dai and Guan Yu at the Shu Main Camp. As always Guan Yu is dangerous and can kill a weak character very quick.
Sun Jian’s Forces Scenario – **** Difficulty
Target 1 – Score 500 or more KO’s in 10 minutes.
Target 2 – Defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in 10 minutes.
Target 3 – None of your units withdraw
Strategy – This is another ‘Sun Jian Exclusive’ stage, not the normal Wu scenario. It is extremely hard to keep up with all the Shu generals so good luck achieving Target 3 unless you have a well built up character and / or are playing on Easy / Normal.
To the north you’ll come across Chang Sha Castle being guarded by Chen Shi and Yi Ji. From here, let these allies go west whle you jump south to defeat Wang Fu, Gao Xiang and Meng Da in the far southeast.
Unfortunately after a short while a set of reinforcements come to ambush your party in the north. Jian Yong, Ma Liang and Liao Hua aren’t much fortunately. You need to deal with them quick as Zhao Yun in the southeast appears and Cheng Pu will be getting destroyed by Zhang Fei among others in the center. Guan Xing, Zhou Cang, Fei Yi and Zhang Fei are all clustered together at Wu Ling South Fort. Zhuge Jun and Xiang Lang come there a little later too. If you want to complete Target 2 you’ll have to rush in and kill Guan Yu pretty soon.
Meanwhile Guan Suo, Ma Su and Zhao Yun are attacking your main camp. The Main camp can last a bit with Sun Jian here but you don’t want to test it. Also your allies will be having problems with Yue Ying, Zhang Bao, Mi Fang, Liu Feng, Chen Dao and any other enemy general clustered together in Jiang Ling Castle.
Towards the south you should see Hou Jin, Yan Yan, and Ma Dai scattered about. Zhuge Liang protects Ling Ling Gate. Only the deadly Liu Bei is left, so you may wish to use your save if you have one left.
Lu Bu’s Forces Scenario – *** Difficulty
Target 1 – Take Jiang Ling Castle and Chang Sha South Camp in 10 minutes.
Target 2 – Defeat 10 or more enemy units in 15 minutes.
Target 3 – Player maintains 60% life for 10 minutes.
Strategy – This is a Diao Chan Musou Mode stage. Another tricky target with #3. Be conservative although you need to take a few enemy camps for Target 1 too. You’ll probably start off in the south so attack Ma Liang in his base and then Guan Xing when he comes to attack.
Over to the west is Ma Su, Gao Xiang and Meng Da. By the time you defeat them a huge batch of enemy reinforcements litter the stage. Guan Yu is in the northwest while Zhuge Jun, Liao Hua and Jian Yong attack in the center. Yi Ji is just to the east and then you can take out Yue Ying’s base in the center. Xiang Lang and Guan Yu are probably in here too though so proceed with caution.
More enemy reinforcements now with Guan Ping and then Guan Suo attacking from the west. Your allies have probably taken Chang Sha South Camp by now so take out Jiang Ling Castle for Target 1. Zhou Cang is already in here, and Guan Ping is not too far behind.
Diao Chan in the far east will be needing assistance after all of this. Zhao Yun comes as reinforcements, and Zhang Fei, Mi Fang, and Fei Yi are already there.
At the enemy camp, Hou Jin, Zhuge Liang, Mi Zhu, Zhang Bao, Ma Dai and Liu Bei are fighting for their lives.
