📘 New Player Tips – A Letter from the Dev Team
We’ve prepared a New Player Guide to help you get started with the gameplay mechanics and enjoy the strategic depth of the game!
1. Survival first. Choose your battles wisely.
- Not all higher-star quests are better.
- Evaluate your party’s strength and choose quests accordingly.
- Attempting high-difficulty missions too early may result in injuries, broken gear, or an unrecoverable spiral toward defeat.
2. [Gear and Weapon Choice]
- Always equip characters with appropriate weapons for their troop type (short/long weapons) to ensure accuracy.
- Pay attention to stamina: if it’s [below 50], avoid equipping heavy gear.
- Pro Tip: Stick to one weapon early on. Once you're familiar with the system, consider dual-wielding.
3. Join a Noble Clan
- After reaching Prestige Level 3. quickly join a noble clan for access to powerful units and supplies.
- You can also rent elite officers before you earn enough merit.
4. On Trading & Tomb Raiding
We don’t recommend relying solely on these as your main income sources.
- These were fallback mechanics during past testing phases.
- In the full game, they are supplementary and situational – do them if they're along your route or fill a gap in your strategy.
- Example: If you're aiming to recruit Zhang Fei, align with the Lu Clan in Zhuo Commandery and complete clan quests. While doing this, feel free to trade or explore any nearby tombs.
5. Clan Quest Tips
- Early on, focus on “Procurement” and “Diplomacy” type missions.
- You can change quest types via the [“Consult”] function and refresh available tasks.
6. Historical Officer Recommendations
You can find recruitable historical officers by gathering intel in taverns. Here are a few examples:
- Pang De – Dai Commandery
- Cao Chun and Cao Ren – Qiao Commandery
- Ju Shou – Julu (strong military strategist)
- Li Ru – Jinyang (strong military strategist)
7. Support Officer Suggestions
- Zhang Xiu – Shangdang (Prestige 3 required)
- Zhang Xun – Yecheng (Prestige 3)
- Yan Liang – Henei (Prestige 4)
- Jia Xu – Yangyi (Prestige 4)
- Yue Jin – Baima (Prestige 4)
Many more elite officers await your discovery!
8. Additional Tips
- Download the full map guide to better understand terrain and progression routes.
- Bandit camps can be [visited or hired as mercenaries] – but they’re expensive!
