The odds are massively stacked against you, but you do have one of the nastiest pieces in the game in the form of Sun Jian himself, so that's something.

You essentially have to just play incredibly damn well and win at least two battles against equal-or-superior forces back to back and still be able to press the advantage (because even if you annihilate Liu Biao's army, after 3-5 turns he'll be right back with another full stack), or get lucky and hope he gets entangled in an early war (probably with Yuan Shu or He Yi) that distracts their attention from being monopolized on you. Defeating any one of them would be very doable, especially with a good ambush or some such, but the issue is that once you engage one of them and win, the others won't be far behind and just smash into your weakened army. Liu Biao will have a full stack with some of his pretty nasty infantry, Cai Mao should have a full stack, and Huang Zu might have something or just sit at home and twiddle his thumbs. Liu Biao and his vassals are really a single unit in the early game, you go to war with one you go to war with all. It is allowing me not to worry so much about making a bad decision.The short answer is. I’m finding that I am really enjoying playing without over thinking my decisions. I also base it at the center so that I can respond to an invasion if someone foolishly decides they want to start a war! This army is based at the center of my land at Jiangxia (City) so that I can send it whatever way I finally decide to conquer next. That is because as my income is growing I’m also building another army that will be led by Sun Jian’s heir Sun Ce. If you watch the video of my gameplay you will see that my income doesn’t seem to grow very much. After that it is only a matter of time before they retreat and the battle is mine. They are filing out of the “gates” in a bottleneck and I surround their forces. Once the towers are destroyed the enemy army abandons their fortifications and attacks my army. They don’t have any ranged units so I use my fire arrows to destroy any towers in range of my approaching army. Normally I’m not very good at siege battles (maybe I should invest in some trebuchets…), but this battle goes fairly well. After a couple turns march I arrive and a siege battle ensues. Again the cash I will get from the industry at the iron mine will be helpful. I don’t really want to give one of my biggest rivals more cash, but as I said I need money if I am going to raise more armies.įrom there I set my sights farther east to Poyang (Iron Mine).

I finally find a trade partner in Cao Cao. None of the warlords around me are viable trade partner options. Now that I have a trade port I look for a new trade partner. The battle doesn’t last long they have a small force and most of their troops are destroyed by my archers before they even reach my lines. Then I decide to attack the fleeing army. As I approach the army occupying that territory abandons it… After that it is just a quick delegation victory. It is several turns march from Badong to Changsha, but that is beneficial because the army needed some time to replenish its numbers. In order to do that I need armies to command and to have armies you need money! The reason for this is because I plan on making this campaign a heavily military focused one. From here I marched him toward Changsha (Trade Port). Sun Jian’s army began this post in Badong (Lumber Yard). In our last campaign post I had a struggle with Liu Biao and now that I was able to gain peace it is time to turn my attention toward the Han territories that surround my land. I say all of this because my goal in this game is to keep from dwelling too long and try to progress more quickly… As a result, I want to make the right decisions and I spend too much time dwelling on every little decision. It is not that I’m not good at strategy games it is more that I obsess because for strategy games feel like they are real life to me. When I play strategy games I tend to dwell and over analyze so these kinds of game usually take me some time to make any meaningful progress.
