Ah, ULTIMATE HAPPINESS!
The Glory that is Lu Bu!
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Defeated Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu…got the Gemsword. Allowed Wang Gui to join, but he’ll join Yang Jin in billeting very soon :P
Next stop: Chang An to eliminate Dong Zhuo…I think, but first…Lu Bu joins thanks to the Gemsword!
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Prepare to fight Li Jue.
Yeah, that’s where I am now. Have only died twice so far (both against Zhang Jiao and his brothers)
Li Jue and 3 Rebel Forces…should be a piece of cake :P
ZL Edit again: Yep. Piece of cake :P
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Defeated Hua Xiong. Exhausted all my TP, but it was worth it to win with relative ease. Let Yang Jin join me. I’ll take the strength upgrade over Mi Zhu.
Oh noes…Lu Bu time. I’m gonna get slaughtered millions of times :P

Ultimate Happiness?
Aww…bye bye Liu Bei
Sorry I couldn’t get the emulator thing out of the way, but I have not used the features once. Gonna take on Dong Zhuo next once I stock up on supplies :P
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Just beat Zhang Jao the first time…barely. The b*stard defeated Guan Yu.
Now I have Han Zhong, and since it’s legal, added Mi Zhe (Zhu) to the group. Now taking the easier route and attacking from behind against the three Zhang bros.
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Oh boy…fighting Zhang Bao and Cheng Yuanzhi. At least I’ll have a bit of Lian Huo to help out with this one :P
EDIT: Won again, but exhausted my entire supply of Elixir A. Also gained another level…
Gonna head over to Tie Men Xia and fight Zhang Jiao now. Hopefully we won’t get blasted like I expect to. I’ll post my first screenshots after I eliminate the Yellow Scarves (Turbans) once and for all.
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.I am gonna try this. Wish me luck, as I’m about to fight Zhang Liang and his two rebel forces.
EDIT: Just beat him, with surprising ease, and sadly, I gained a level. :P
Also, I want someone to confirm this. I can’t go in those houses and hire Chen Deng or Mi Zhe (Zhu), right? (I didn’t yet, but will if it’s legal)
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Zhang He is my choice, with Yuan Yin and Sun Huan a close 2nd and 3rd. Yu Jin comes in way too late to make any sort of difference.
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Back on topic…my favorite is RTK X, because of the campaigns. When I got enough power to do so, I have tried to re-create the northern campaigns of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, with not so good results. Other than that, I like to start out with a group of created officers in the Yellow Turban scenario, and in the southern part of China, where I can basically take EVERY city down there and become the *1st Emperor of Wu ;)*
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.It’s not totally impossible to win over Cao Cao using Yi Wen without Zhang Lu, but you’re going to have to gain another two or three levels from the point of when you defeated Cao Cao at Luo, IMO. You really need to have someone who can take Cao Cao’s hits and still remain standing. At this point in the game, the rest of your generals probably aren’t strong enough to survive two or three hits from Cao Cao.
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.I should have added this to my strategy, but MAKE SURE that your fighting generals (Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Xing) have the best equipment you can get for them at that point. I think that’s obvious to say, but before facing Cao Cao for the final time, you must cover all the bases and make sure you’re totally set. Even if it means trying to build one or two more levels by picking off random general battles.
EDIT: YAY, bandit force rank achieved :P
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Absolutely :)
This is the party I used in the battle with Cao Cao, which I will use as my example.
Zhang Lu (170/190)
Zhao Yun (240/200)
Ma Chao (240/140)
Guan Xing (235/175) *Guan Suo (250/160) After Cao Cao dies*
Zhuge Liang (Tactician) (80/255)
I don’t keep backup officers. I find them utterly useless, I don’t care how good they are. Unfortunately, this means I have to keep Jiang Wei in billeting. I hate to, but the extra amount of troops Zhang Lu has makes him useful as someone who can take Cao Cao’s assault better than others, so I’ll take the sacrifice in strength and intelligence for a little more staying power.
1st Round
1. Zhuge Liang uses Cloudburst, forcing Cao Cao to try and win with brute force.
2. Zhang Lu and Zhao Yun will Li Jian the ever-loving crap out of Xu Zhu and Dian Wei
3. Ma Chao and Guan Xing attack Guo Jia, trying to eliminate his An Sha-loving ass ASAP.
2nd Round and Beyond
1. Zhang Lu uses Jin Xian on everyone, we regain about 1,000 soldiers per pop.
2. Zhuge Liang uses Ji Shi and Hou Shen on Liu Ye and Guo Jia (with moderate success)
3. Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Guan Xing split their efforts, going for Cao Cao’s head and eliminating Guo Jia, getting around 2,000 off per (barring the random use of Jing Mo or Ba Gua by that idiot Guo Jia)
4. Heal everyone when a general’s soldiers go under 1,500. Use Li Jian on Xu Zhu and Dian Wei if and when they void it.
5. Lather, Rinse, Repeat until Cao Cao and his army of idiots are finished.
6. Rejoice, have a beer, prepare for Cao Pi and Sima Yi down the line.
Note: If Guo Jia or Cao Cao use the JingMo or BaGua tactics…then we will try to kill Xu Zhu and Dian Wei first, to get them to regroup. All tactics on them while trying to survive Cao Cao’s attacks.
To make this Yi Wen strategy work, you MUST have officers who can take a good hit. If you don’t get Zhang Lu when you can, it will be EXTREMELY hard to make Yi Wen work for you.
If you guys try it and find this helpful, Lord Yuan Shu has my permission to post this with any sort of tactic strategies for attacking Wei :)
Unfortunately, after this, I accidentally overwrote my save game, so I will be starting anew very soon :(
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.I personally always use Yi Wen. Always looking to end a battle quickly. I know you all don’t favor Yi Wen much, but if used correctly with aggressive healing and quick attacks, it’s a beast of a formation ;)
Zhang Lu
They see me throwin' fireballs out of my sword, they runnin'.Yeah. Zhang Lu is a beast until you get into Wei…and even then he’s good. I use him along with Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Guan Suo (or Xing, I’m at the point where I got whipped by Sima Yi’s thunder or something like that), and Zhuge Liang. I use a 5-man rotation so that Zhuge Liang actually fights as my tactician.
