Hope this gives you and your white horse riders ideas.The Middle Kingdom where you battle for supremacy. Plan on using Liu Biao or his successor as leverage against Sun Jian the now Duke of Wu, and Yuan Shu against Cao Cao. and now they have become the new enemies in the south. Now however Sun Jian and Cao Cao have vassalised the remains of Yuan's dynasty the rump state that it is and his former vassals. So unsurprisingly he wasnt a very committed member. Cao Cao however flipped and flopped between making war and seeking peace. I found Zheng Jiang, Yuan Shu, and Dong Min/Zhuo to be quite willing accomplices in breaking Yuan Shao. Keep your armies together, they will come at you in a united front and you want to bug bite him down and his vassals, take their farms, take their mines, run away if you have to, rinse and repeat, and you'll whittle them down, try to attack the towns and cities when no one is there or when the enemy armies are trying to recover. Make a coalition, and for the love of all that's holy when you do put that war co-ordination target function to good use! what a difference it made to my war effort, after struggling against all the might of the yuans alone, a different target for each member of the coalition keep them in the field so you can use their armies as supports to your own, send them after enemy cities or armies, their success is irrelevant, but you want them for cover. If you play your cards right you can still expand, and support what he wants, he will like you, when you're finally match fit and his attention's elsewhere, if you can buy your freedom, i managed to get mine for 300, and 1 food for 10 turns because we were bros, or you can just revolt. Its what I did, I bided my time, made good connections with the other vassals offering support for autonomy in exchange for food and cash (free money they never took me up on it sadly). It will give you time to get your economy back in order, replenish your armies, and if you wait patiently, he and his vassals will look for war else where, leaving their provinces completely open to you with your concentrated stacks, and you can see where everyone is. and if you can get autonomy too, even better. And I took it.Īnd i recommend you try to seek it if you can get it. I had no where to expand except into the hills against zheng yan. Ultimately yuan bet me to the punch stole it before i could, and then started to vassalise everyone. My kinsman turn on me for zero reason we were best pals, put them all down and Yuan and I raced for the Bohai province. My game started out much the same, took care of some han provinces, then I chose to go war with my mentor instead of Han Fu. I had a very similar experience, though I started with Gongsun and am still playing as such, so had to learn the economy system as i played, however recently just became a duke of yan after my war with the yuans of ye. MAY YOUR REIGN LASTS LONGER THAN DONG ZHUO. If you follow my path you are a king by now and the rest on your shoulder. My honest advise get cao cao under your control (liu bei will likely help you on that) cao cao drives your forces to the south like a crazy angry stallion (he have the pro turkish- turkic horse archers( a fact from history) ) Han dynsty is easy target get rid of them first thing first and your neigbour ( i dont remember his name you know the guy on your west) and go through south freely they will be empty enough to annex (and money, a lot of money) and Yuan Shu is very good man to have with you but he is aggressive enough to act accordingly rather than that have him on coalition or close to you but the last move should be annexing him as your vassal (dont keep him as vassal he will create a lot of problem with his throne claim and ofcourse you should ignore his claim as well never accept it he is your last meal after all. And to be empire in the end you have to clash with Liu Bei so dont feed him too much. He will be your vassal if you play your cards carefully and you should annex him after that happens. kONG RONG is very practical guy so take him your side no matter the cost a land a payment etc. You should get rid of your traitor ambitious brother ( you reap what you sow Gongsun Du) or he will be your end but he is your second target, first get larger throug west until Zhang Jiang and you should be careful for any alliance between Yuan Shao and Kong Rong. To be concise act together with Liu Bei he is gonna be your wing, and Zhang Jiang for the west but get rid of Zhang yan. He drives the country like he drives an army. I am playing as Gongsun Zan and if you wanna be successful diplomacy is not an option for you.
