I.)CONCEPT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(BATTLE)
--------
This add-on of the game plays by itself, unlike DW: Xtreme legends. In this
game you are to attain a more strategy approach to the game. The main idea
is to take out the enemy MAIN CAMP, or enemy MAIN GENERAL, in each level.
To do this, I find it very easy to go behind enemy lines and knock out a
couple of enemy bases so it cuts off the middle enemy bases. That way your
allies can finish off the cut off bases. Cut off bases are easily defeated
for they are cut off from supplies and low in morale and troops. The same
can be done with generals who are stuck in your base zones. If an enemy
general is caught in the BLUE BASE ZONE( ally base zone ) on the map, you
will most likely capture him, instead of him retreating.
(WORLD MAP)
-----------
Now here I wont go into to much detail. The instruction booklet pretty
much tells you everything you need to know. But basically on the overhead
map is where you give your orders. In short, the more territory you control
the more money you make and more officers you can have. You can also give
out more commands for the more territories you control. First there is
the option to choose 2 policies for the price of one turn. Very good for
starters, but you can not always pick exactly what you want. Delegate puts
one of your generals in charge of issuing all policies for that turn. The
only reason I would use this is for increasing your chance of making that
officer your strategist. Assign is the best. You pick whatever policy
you want, and these DO carry over from previous games. NOTE: the only way
to aquire NEW POLICIES, is through the FIRST OPTION. One of your officers
will suggest something and it will say NEW next to it. Once selected it
becomes permantly avaiable.
(MOVING TROOPS)
---------------
I added this section because I know that moving troops is
kind of tricky at first. You want to open the STATION option. Now go
to the region you want an officer from, then click on the BLANK SPACE
next to the name of the region you picked. You can now select a NEW
region. After selected you can swap between regions. The space on the
far right is for generals you want to be discarded. They will stay there
until you TOTALLY CLOSE the station option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II.)
CHARACTERS and HOW TO AQUIRE: (still under development)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will list how to aquire characters that you can get without
recruitment. I will update as I get more. If you want to aquire EVERY LAST
character, I suggest taking all but one territory, then using the recruit
and erase method.(Described in EXTRAS section)
All are found in the spring of the year.
Just have them on your force during this time, these are the years most likely
to be recruited. But in every scenario they can vary a couple years.
The Name that comes first is the one you must have in your army
(will put in order once its finished)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III.)
4TH WEAPONS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the pretty simple to get in this game. Just upgrade you blacksmith
skill in whatever weapon you are using to level 4. Now in a battle after that
you need to get 500 kills. You will be awarded the weapon after you beat the
level. An easy way to get 500 KO's is to go to a major battle, like another
Rulers home region, and NOT CAPTURE more then one or two bases. The 4th
Weapon also lets you get a Musuo Rage every 100 kills, just press R3.
Another method for getting 500 kills, is to send all your officers to aid
YOUR main camp. Now just go around killing soldiers but do NOT take bases.
Leave at least one guard captian in each base and by the time you are at one
end of the map, you will see the other end replinished full of enemies.
The fifth level of Blacksmith allows evolution attacks to be added to your
3rd weapon. While on the fifth level of blacksmith, just complete a level
and you will see new options of attributes for your 3rd weapon. Keep in mind
you must be using your 3rd weapon for these to appear.
NOTE!! All weapons are saved even after game ends. You can start a new game
and just level up blacksmith and whatever stats were attached to your weapon
will be there again in a new game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV.)
ITEMS AND REGIONS:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will describe where you can develop a certain item and aquire them
to be put into your inventory. With save characters ON, you can use aquired
items in New games of FREE mode. Levels attained by upgrading will also be
kept from empire to free mode. Character levels can go back and forth,
but items must start from scratch every time you start over Empire mode.
(note-first items you start with when territory aquired, no development)
*(For items that have question marks, you must first have researched the
consult skill where an officer suggests a TRADE in that area.
Example: Northern Trade, Western Trade, Nanman Trade. After that the item
will become available. So check your Consult option frequently.
You may also aquire items through the proces of Despotism and Rob Grave.
These methods have harsher affects on your countries morale. When your
countries morale gets too low riots occur. Riots can lead to rebellion and
even death in some cases. While having good morale with the people can
give you money and new products when things work out right.

VI.)
EVENT MOVIES: (under construction)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 13 movies to unlock I will list how to unlock them.
Two Heroes: Have a couple of alliances between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. It
Usually lasts between 6 to 9 years. So like two or three LONG alliances.
You will then see a movie starting with Cao Cao on his horse.
Alliance of Dong Zhou: Just play Dong Zhou scenario, and wait one turn
for the Event Battle to happen.
Peach Garden: Play as Liu Bei's Forces in Yellow Turban Scenario. Defeat
Yellow Turbans and keep the 3 brothers together.
He Fei: Must have Zhang Liao Fortified at territory of He fei and he gets
attacked there.
Chi Bi: Play the Chi Bi battle in its scenario.
Yi Ling: Play the Battle of Yi Ling in any scenario.
Appointments:
Ruler.........given to the leader of your forces
Strategist..........Given to someone that use you very often for policies
Commander..........Given to someone that you take to many battles
-----------------
Getting everybody!!!....... This is sorta cheap but its easy to get all the
officers. Just take all regions but one. Form a long treay with them, and
start producing TONS of items. You then want to go to recruit-hire. Here
you want to look for officers WITHOUT the "get" next to them. The "get" means
you already have gotten them before. Most of the time the officer will want
itmes or several items. So have many in stock. When you are full on officers
just start discarding useless ones and getting new ones. When you have gotten
Every officer, you can select ANY of the ones you have EVER gotten in FREE
MODE, or EMPIRE MODE.
-----------------
Attention!!! Watch those meat buns and chicken. For every item you pick up
on the feild your unit will lose a set amount of troops. ONLY GET IF REALLY
NEEDED!!! Bonus from your guard captains dont count.
-----------------
SPECIAL BATTLES........These EVENT battles can be done during the scenario
or they can be done if you fulfill certain requiements during any other
scenario. As long as the date is correct in terms of historical. I have
personally gotten Chi Bi in Three of the scenarios, and it was always
around 203 AD. Just make sure all Liu Bei, Cao Cao, And Sun ce are alive.
-----------------
MUSIC!!!!!!! You can now listen to whatever music from all the DW games
by selecting options before a battle and choosing your favorite tune. It
will then play once you start the battle.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIII.)
Frequently Asked Questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How do you get the options that are darkened out to be available? I want
to be able to execute people, and use experienced characters.
A. This is simple, just beat the Empire mode once through and you unlock
most options. Note to get a higher officer count, you must beat Empire
mode with the highest amount of officers available selected when you start.
---------------
Q. I cant get the policy Rob Grave, how come?
A. These type of policies are not random. They involve the use of EVIL
policies over and over until you get a certain EVIL score, that the game keeps
track of. When you are EVIL enough to your empire you will see it appear in
the list of policies under ASSIGN. Same goes with GOOD policies. Check the
policy section for more details.
---------------
Q. How do you get 500 kills in these levels, they are so short
A. Again read the 4th weapon section of this faq. I have listed many tips om
how to aquire the 4th weapons.
---------------
Q. How Do you get a strategist and what does it do?
A. The strategist position is recommended to a rank 7 or above officer that
has been used in Consult or Delegate several times. The position enables
that officer to use tactics much more often during battle, and is a regular
consulting officer every time you consult offering very good strategies.
---------------
Q. What the difference between the 360 version and PS2 version?
A. If you have a 360, get it. It looks amazing on HD TV. No more slow down
either. It really is impressive on the 360, more then I ever thought a port
would be. And being a true 3 kingdoms fan, and owning all the games. The
360 version outshines all the previous. Too bad we couldnt see DW5 special
here too.
---------------
Q. I did the requirements for a policy, how come I dont see it in ASSIGN?
A. Because most all policies are discovered in the CONSULT option, AFTER
doing the requirements. So its a game of luck kinda. You gotta do the
requirements then keep checking CONSULT for your policy to appear. The
only ones that appear directly without CONSULT are the EVIL and GOOD policies
---------------
Q. How do I get two players?
A. Before a battle in the battle map screen, just press start on the second
controller, for the 360 make sure the controller is on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IX.)
SPECIAL BATTLES:
These EVENT battles can be done anytime around the year it happened as long
as certain requirements are met. Example, you cannot get Guan Du if you are
playing as Liu Bei because he wasnt involved in that fight. So make sure you
are a force involved in the battle.
-----------------------
Yellow turban Rebellion
-----------------------
In the Yellow turban scenario just wait one turn. Play as anyone
-----------
Hu Lao Gate
-----------
Play as anyone, Have dong Zhou alive, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian all alive.
Yuan Shao must also be alive. This happens around 191 AD. In Dong Zhou
Scenario just wait one turn.
------------
Guan Du
-----------
Play as either Cao Cao, or Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao must have control of Jin Yang
and surrounding territories. Note if you play this scenario, just wait one
turn. Cao Cao must have Luo Yang and Pu Yang. In Guan Du scenario I think
this takes three turns.
-----------
Chi Bi
-----------
Around 203-208 AD or one turn if you are playing the scenario. Liu Bei, Cao
Cao, and Sun Quan must all be alive. In some instances I even had Sun Jian
still. Wu must control Chai Siang, Jian Ye. Liu Bei must have Xia Pi, and
Cao Cao must have Xu Chang. One turn in Chi Bi scenario.
-----------
Yi Ling
-----------
Okay this one is tricky to get. Around 210-215 AD. You should try this first
in The flames of Chi Bi scenario. Play as Wu or Shu. If Wu dont take anything
except the bottom free province. ALLY with Cao Cao for long term, let Liu
Bei take all territories until he gets to CHANG SHA. Let him take it. Then
attack Chang Sha. Once you have taken Chamg Sha the next turn you will
get a message about YI LING, participate. As SHU, Take over Wu ling and
Chang Sha. Then play until Wu attacks either of these territories. Let
Them win, and you will see the Yi Ling event after the lose of that battle.
Wu must have Lu Xun and Shu Zhuge Liang.
