You could even snatch SSX easily from Sun Jian in RoH

yuan shu 194 report..

its 206 now. Wu is under my grasp. still waging war with major warlords; yuan tan, ma xiu, liu zhang.

yuan shao is dead, succeeded by yuan tan but he still have his officers with him. his constant warring with gongsun du and mi shi
(liu bei's successor force) drained his force heavily. i had enough with mi shi's massive army but armless fortress in xiapi so i have to take it over.

Lu bu is never fated to join me, his officers are scattered everywhere, including cao cao. i only had zhang liao.. the reason he got scattered because his war with yuan tan earlier. at first he and yuan shao were allies but until yuan tan takeover they became hostile . it took me longer than i thought to handle lu bu. his force is small but powerful combined with cao cao's remnants .

liu biao is hamburger-ed by everyone around him - me, ma teng, liu zhang. i got his remaining guys before liu zhang finish him off.

ma teng and ma chao killed by me , ma xiu left to lead his massive force. all the way from luo yang and wan to xiliang.

liu zhang stationed heavily at jiangling so i have to move around Jing, from chang sha to wuling. im going to do a major assault from jiang xia, chaisang, changsha and wuling. yes it looks overkill but jiangliang is heavily fortified with troops along its ports (30k troops inside each)

when 204 ma teng, liu zhang and liu biao gang up on me, but it was nothing though, . ma teng is the only thread im facing.
xuchang forest is the bloodiest area so far because of constant assaults from Ma teng.

----
currently:

-ceasefiring with yuan tan, will start pounding him later on.
-ma xiu is recuperating from his previous lord's death. its only a matter of time.
-having "Chibi war" with liu zhang here.

My Liu Biao 190 is coming to a close. It's 207 and I'm pushing into Liu Zhang's last two cities soon. Cao Cao is history. Zhang Lu, successor to Tao Qian, has nearly crushed Yuan Tan. Emperor Liu Biao vs. Zhang Lu. Talk about anticlimatic.

Zhang Lu, successor to Tao Qian

I love when stuff like this happens.

Have you ever read about how 90% of the time in VIII, He Jin would defeat the yellow turbans, hire them, then after dying be succeeded by Zhang Bao?

***
Random thought; has anyone ever seen multiple officers die from one attack (cavalry tactic, fire attack or such)?

I played VIII so much, i hated this happening.

Heh, no, although Zhang Bao taking over is highly amusing.

I want to say I've seen multiple officers in a single unit die in fire, but cannot cite specific incidents. Cavalry tactics, it has always been just one for me.

what land did zhang lu owns?

what land did zhang lu owns?

Ummm a chunk of the east. And he nabbed the southeast. Nothing spectacular.

He, my PUK seemed to have produced some kind of bug. In my recent save, I have a unit of 3.000 Pikes led by Hao Zhao, Cao Ang and Cheng Yu. And no matter what it does, be it tactics, normal attacks or even strategies, it always gets a critical hit. None of the officers in the unit has a skill that gives criticals.
I thought it was luck at first, but after even normal attacks started to end up as criticals (which is only possible via skills), I became suspicious. Has anyone encountered something similar?

Hmm, I was looking through this...
http://kongming.net/11/appearances/

And came across an extreme oddity. I know that some characters will decay or gain a few stat points as they age but I didn't see any other character have this dramatic of a fall...

Dong Zhao (董昭)
- Skill: 輸送
- Value: CCCCBC
- Scenario 1: N/A
- Scenario 2: 19/25/80/82/59
- Scenario 3: 19/25/80/83/59
- Scenario 4: 19/25/80/84/59
- Scenario 5: 18/24/78/83/57
- Scenario 6: 18/24/78/83/57
- Scenario 7: 17/23/73/48/60

Normal growth to normal decay to... a loss of 35 Pol from Scenario 6 to 7... What? I looked through the easily available histories and saw nothing which should have indicated this massive of a drop. Is there something I'm missing that Dong Zhao deserves to lose almost half of his Pol score?
