Level 15 inside of Xiangyang, just after the Cai Mao battle.
Going through Mt. Fuji and the Saltpeter cave were easily accomplished, and the Orochi and Pythons were defeated quickly. However, I didn’t get a level from Orochi like I thought I would.
Cai Mao was another challenge battle. Cai Mao himself had over 2000 men to start, and his top damage was nearly 300 per attack. Even when I took him under 1000 he still did around 150. Wen Ping also did decent damage and Zhang Yun, though technically a tactition, still took off chunks with his bow. Luckily, Wang Can would either attack (~60 damage) or use CeJian over and over, and Lu Gong is, well, Lu Gong.
Since I didn’t get the level from Orochi, I still had the ChiXin healing, and had to use water tactics due to the location. The first two times I tried to figure out a plan, but died. I tried to go back to Chaisang to get better weapons, but when I got to Xiakou the boat was gone, so I had to make due. Winning run, I made the line-up Guan Ping, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang (Lu Su as tactition). Guan Ping, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu would attack Cai Mao while Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang used tactics alternately on Wen Ping and Zhang Yun. Guan Ping healed a couple people with his Copper potions, then I used Herbals from Guan Yu. Eventually I had all three under 1000, but I ran out of TP and had to make Zhuge just defend the rest of the battle. The end was similar to the Jingzhou Cai battle: whittle down their health, then all-out the final person (Wang Can being the last guy).
Time to burn some ships.
I think Xiahou Dun is after Chi Bi, isn’t he? And I can get the Tally Order to make the fight easier.
Finished the Xinye Cai battle, it was a lot easier than the one at Jingzhou. I guess the levels really do make a difference. Kuai Yue knew YeHuo but he only used it a couple of times, the other generals just attacked. I dominated them and went back to Xiakou to meet Lu Su.
Now in Wu at level 14. I should probably go to Japan first, in case the level from the Orochi battle is what I need against Cai Mao.
That was at Jing Zhou. According to your guide Kuai Yue is there, a decent tactictian, but with YeHuo and Zhuge I might be able to make up for it.
Level 13 now, just for reference.
Got through the Jingzhou Cai battle. Definately harder than anything before it in the challenge. I had to start over once.
Huang Zu and Han Sui deal out big damage until you can get them under 1000. Same with the Cai’s, although their damage is maybe ~70 less. The first run through I tried to focus on one person until I killed them, but the other overwhelmed me. On my winning run, I attacked Huang Zu until his health was under 1000, did the same for Han Sui, then one Cai, then the other one. Guan Ping had to keep healing a lot, since he was in the front. Zhou Cang died a couple times…brought him back once, left him dead after that. Once they all went under 1000, I had 2 or 3 of my guys whittle down their health while the other person (usually Guan Ping) healed. Went All-Out when it was down to Han Sui and the Rebel Army.
As a reward, I shot up three levels and now have the next fire tactic.
Since Zhou Cang is still dead, I think I can use Zhuge in the Xinye battle (only 6 people in my party). Let’s see how it turns out.
Cao Ren’s 100,000-man army falls to a level 9 party…shame.
Now at level 10 after torching Bo Wang.
The Lu’s were a little tough, since they did ~200 damage when my highest hp was in the 600s. But they only had the numbers advantage, so they went down after a while. I just kept attacking because at this point, LianHuo does less damage than my copper weapons.
Cao Ren was simple, just defend and heal until he burns to death.
Next up are the Cai’s, maybe they’ll give me some trouble.
Ah, I remember fighting at Changsha in my previous game…hard stuff. Lu Bu wasn’t so bad, though. On that note, do you have to fight him at Han Castle?
Sima Hui:"You have some fine generals. But you need a good tactition."
Chen Deng not good enough for you, Sima?
I haven’t had any money problems so far. I just try to only use the Inn when I have to and I sell off anything I don’t need. Later on I can pick up some good equips in chests, so if I run low on cash I’ll have to make due with those.
I tried to cut corners again by going straight for Gong Du and Liu Pi, but Liu Biao wouldn’t let me continue until I saved the other villages too. Oh well…
I’m now at Jingzhou at level 7, going to attack the bandits.
Here are the battles I have fought:
Ji Ling
Yuan Yin
Yuan Shu
Che Zhou
First Yan Liang Gate Battle
Second Yan Liang Gate Battle
First Guan Yu Gate Battle
Second Guan Yu Gate Battle
Third Guan Yu Gate Battle
Fifth Guan Yu Gate Battle
Zhou Cang (Since this ends after two rounds, I don’t remeber if I got experiance)
Cai Yang
Guo Tu
I haven’t fought any random battles.
So far, it seems pretty easy. I’m guessing the difficulty won’t pick up until after Chi Bi.
I used it on Gens + and got past the cave boss, but when I closed it and reopened it later my save file was gone.
