CREDITS * - Under Construction ================================= ==========INTRODUCTION=========== ================================= ROTK6 is a strategy game mixed with some RPG elements. The setting is during the Imperial Han Dynasty, 2nd Century AD. You play as one of the Rulers trying to unify China under one rule. You forge alliances, battle other rulers for control over a city, recruit officers, find items and please or betray the Emperor for your own purposes. ROTK6 requires a lot of thinking and time. You can't finish a full scenario in one day unless you play for about more than 4 hours or so. The game is also a bit difficult especially if you're a beginner. Don't worry though, this FAQ will help you understand the game better. ================================= ============CONTROLS============= ================================= The controls in ROTK6 are simple: X - select item in the menu O - cancel L1/R1 - During Civil mode, go to next/previous city During battle, go to next/previous officer ================================= ============THE MENU============= ================================= ----------- -MAIN MENU- ----------- I.

If you do, please send them to me (jzdman@yahoo.com) and I'll post it here. Proper credit will be given. You can add more details such as parents, their own bio, and other stuff. Note: All names and bios are fictional (If you find historical names in this section, they are not referring to the historical figure) (The Officers below are from: IdeoSinKraSee@aol.com) Name: Cyrus McDohl Family: Wife- Sarah Sons/Daughters- Teos , Rydahl Birth: 160 Dream: Territorial Class: Officer Bio: Originally served under Sun Jian. Was given the city of Ling Ling to govern after years of service. When Sun Jian died, he broke away from Sun Ce and went out on his own. Fought and defeated Liu Biao on his own. Then began a war with surrounding leaders, excluding Sun Jian and Wang Lang. Successfully absorbed Liu Zhang and Dong Zhou but was defeated by Lie Bei and executed. Posthumously dubbed the 'Grasping Hand' for his attempts at empire and for setting off the 'Unification War' Name- Teos McDohl Family: Daughter- Lana Birth: 184 Dream: Advance Class:Warrior Bio: Became ruler after his father's death. Embarked on a war of vengeance against Liu Bei in retaliation for his father's death. Defeated Liu Bei and executed his entire clan. After this, he attempted to complete his father's war for Empire. While a brilliant tactician, Teos was not the equal of his father's governing mind nor was he as good a judge of character. After defeating Yuan Shao and Kong Rong, he made Kong Rong's son, Bong Rong, leader of one of his armies. Bong Rong then betrayed Teos and switched sides in a major battle between Teos and Cao Cao. Teos was defeated and killed in battle. Rydahl McDohl Birth: 185 Family: none Dream: Territorial Class: Minister Bio- Brother of Teos. Assumed control of the McDohl clan after her brother's death. While not a soldier, she had a quick mind and was an excellent judge of character. She put a heretofore unknown pair of brothers to the head of her armies and cities and they, together, were an unstoppable pair. Pahn and Gremio Jee (the Brothers Jee) launched an all out effort to unify the land. Pahn's tactical mind and Gremio's able governing combined with Rydahl's charisma were almost enough to subdue the land. All of the South was absorbed into the McDohl territory and most of the East and West. However, the combined power of Cao Cao, Kong Zhou, Gongsun Zan and Serra Madine were enough to defeat the main armies of McDohl. During the quick retreat that followed, Sun Ce declared war and managed to take much of the South from Rydahl. She returned to her new capital of Chang An and, while participating in the new wars, never again attempted to unfiy the land. Lana McDohl Birth: 200 Family: none Dream: Territorial Class: General Bio- Daughter of Teos McDohl. Received rulership over the reduced land of the McDohls after Rydahl's death at the hands of Ma Chao. During her brief rule, Lana controlled North Eastern and Eastern China, lands formerly belonging to Ma Teng and Liu Zhang. She participated in the last battle of the Unification Wars and was soundly defeated, as were Ran Motley, Cao Ren, Sun Quan and Ma Chao. Instead of being executed, she was forcibly married to Aeris Madine's son Gideon, and the Hereditary Seal taken from her and presented to the victor, Aeris. hehehe...i'll add more soon! =================== ========WAR======== =================== ------------------------- A. If you're the Attacker ------------------------- I. Prepare Your Troops If you want to wage a war, you must first have troops. You can draft soldiers in a city once a month. Also, your number of troops should not exceed 1/4 of your total population. An officer with the highest LS can draft the most no. of troops. II. Generals Your troops need to be led by generals. Your generals can only command 50(5000) soldiers unless you give them a rank. The higher their rank, the more troops they can lead. III. Enemies Of course, you can only attack your enemies you can't attack your allies unless you annul your alliance with them. Be careful though, they can also attack you if you're not allied with them. IV. Starting the War To start a war, select ARMY then WAR. Then choose the city and choose the generals who will participate in the war. Then give generals a troop for them to command. If you want, you can bring an Army Advisor with you and finally input the number of food you want to bring. I suggest you bring at least 3000 food. V. Aid If the city your are attacking is also adjacent to other cities (which is yours), you can send reinforcements to make your force stronger. Do this by selecting ARMY and AID. VI. During the Battle During the battle, you'll see your generals and the enemy generals. If you're the attacker, you should always leave one unit (I recommend the unit with the least no. of troops) in the camp to avoid the food being captured. Give each unit a command and press O to start the turn. ----------------------------------- B. If you're the one being attacked ----------------------------------- I. Sally You can only select this option if you have a good I-net. If you choose 'sally', you won't fight in the castle but in the field instead. If you lost in the field battle, the enemies will advance to the castle gates and another battle will occur. II. Fort Sometimes if you don't have a good I-net, you won't notice the enemy movement until they have come to your castle gates. This option will allow you to fight in the castle. Do not select this option unless your cannot select the 'Sally' option. III. Retreat If you cannot defend the city, select this option to retreat to the nearest city. IV. Burn Just like retreat but this will raze the city. This will also decrease the ruler's PR. ====================== ========TITLES======== ====================== Titles are given to rulers by the 'real' Han Emperor (Ling/Shao/Xian). If the Imperial Capital (most likely Luo Yang or Xu Chang) is one of your cities, you control the Emperor. If you control the emperor, you can talk to him by selecting the MISC -> AUD command. If you do what he wants you to do, he will give you a higher title. Titles can also be given to other rulers by the ruler who controls the emperor. Here are the titles which can be given to you by the Emperor and its effects to your PR: TITLE PR Lieutenant Governor +1 Governor +1 Commander of Royal Guard +2 Commander of Tiger Escort +2 Commander of North Corps +3 Commander of South Corps +3 Commander of Right Corps +4 Commander of Left Corps +4 Commander of Five Posts +5 Lord of the Perimeter +6 Lord of the Capital +6 Minister of the Exterior +8 Minister of the Interior +8 Grand Commander +9 Lord Grand Marshal +10 Prime Minister +12 High Lord +13 King +14 Emperor +0 ===================== ========ITEMS======== ===================== ********************************** ** Credits: ** ** ** ** Timothy Monzon ** ********************************** I've included the officers who will most likely have the item.

But before you can give ranks to your officers, you must have a certain title (King, High Lord, Emperor, etc.). Some ranks can be given to multiple officers such as Horse general and Foot General (you can give these ranks to up to 4 officers.) These are the ranks which can be given to your officers: RANK No. of Troops (in hundreds) None 50 Foot General 90 Foot General 90 Foot General 90 Foot General 90 Horse General 90 Horse General 90 Horse General 90 Horse General 90 General of North Glory 95 General of West Glory 95 General of South Glory 95 General of East Glory 95 General of the Army 100 General of Peace 100 General of the River 100 General of the Kingdom 100 General of Campaigns 110 General of Literature 110 General of the Military 110 General of Foreign Foray 110 General of Outer Praise 120 General of Inner Praise 120 General of Outer Spirit 120 General of Inner Spirit 120 General of Outer Vigor 130 General of Inner Vigor 130 General of Outer Growth 130 General of Inner Growth 130 General of Relief 140 General of Outer Peace 140 General of Pacification 140 General of Barbarians 140 General of the Rear 150 General of the Front 150 General of the Right 150 General of the Left 150 4th General of the North 160 4th General of the West 160 4th General of the South 160 4th General of the East 160 3rd General of the North 170 3rd General of the West 170 3rd General of the South 170 3rd General of the East 170 2nd General of the North 180 2nd General of the West 180 2nd General of the South 180 2nd General of the East 180 1st General of the North 190 1st General of the West 190 1st General of the South 190 1st General of the East 190 General of Defense 200 General of Chariot 200 General of Cavalry 200 Supreme Commander 200 ===================== ====NAME OF POWER==== ===================== ********************************** ** Credits: ** ** ** ** Lu Su ** ********************************** Everytime you declare yourself a High Lord, King or Emperor, you will have a name of power.

======================
========CHEATS========
======================

---------------------------
-A. Non - Gameshark Cheats-
---------------------------

Here are the cheats I know:

-CHAMPION CLASS OFFICER-
This is a very common cheat. First create 29 officers and when you're creating
the 30th
Officer, you can select a new class for him/her: CHAMPION

-ALL TYPES OF UNITS-
If you want to draft all types of units in a city, go to ARMY -> DRAFT
and highlight TYPE then press SELECT three times.

-CONTROL ENEMY DURING WAR-
To control the enemy and give orders to them during war, press []
(Square) to see a menu of the generals participating in the war and
then select the one of the enemy generals and press O quickly before
the next screen comes up. This will enable you to give orders to the
enemy.
Note: The enemy generals will follow your orders ONLY if you are the
one being attacked. On rare occasions, this cheat will also work if you are the
attacker.

-WEALTHY START-
This isn't really a cheat but a strategy. When you start the game,
select more than one ruler (8 is the max no.). Make sure you select the
ruler you really want to play. And when the game starts, give all the
other rulers' money, food, items to the real ruler you want to play.

Ex: In the scenario: Liu Bei - King of Han-Zhong
You want to play as Liu Bei. But instead of selecting just Liu Bei,
also select Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Then when the game starts, give all
Cao Cao and Sun Quan's gold, money & items to Liu Bei!

-SPLIT UP COUNTRY-
Again, this isn't really a cheat. If you want more rulers in the last two
scenarios,
first select all three rulers when starting the game and make sure that the
rulers die
(ex: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Chan, Cao Rui or Sun Quan dies). To do this, you can
challenge
them in a duel. Now when you're prompted to select the new ruler, select the
last one in
the list.

Ex: Liu Bei dies and you're prompted to select the new ruler. Instead of
selecting Liu Chan,
select the last officer in the WHOLE list (not just the page). When you do,
your
officers' loyalty should drop greatly and will revolt. Based on experience, at
least
two officers will succeed in revolting. Now you got new rulers! (I did this to
Liu Bei
and I didn't select Liu Chan. Instead, I selected the last officer in the list
and Guan Yu,
Zhang Fei, and other protectors of cities of Shu revolted against the new
ruler. Now the
Shu emperor has only 4 cities left!

=========TIPS=========
======================

------------------------
A. GENERAL GAMEPLAY TIPS
------------------------

1. Use the ability to control more than one ruler to your advantage. Use the
"Wealthy Start"
cheat found in the cheats section.

2. Always have at least one officer go on a long-term search. He might find new
items,
officers, Yellow Turban bandit or even a tiger which will increase both his
Military Exp
and your Prestige (PR).

3. If you control the Emperor, talk to him. He might ask you to ally with
another ruler,
contribute some food or gold, fire officers or ask you to give another ruler a
title. If he does, accept it (I always do what he tells me to do except fire
officers) and he will grant
you titles. Only stop accepting his requests if you already have the highest
title that can
be given to you (Prime Minister) because he can't give you a title, higher than
that.

4. If it's your first time playing this game (or haven't read the book), watch
the opening sce-
nes. This way, you'll be able to familiarize yourself with the names of the
characters and
the story.

5. An alliance in the game is very helpful. If you're allied with a ruler and
want to attack a
city, you can prepare a joint attack to create a stronger force. Also, if an
enemy city is
adjacent to 2 of your cities and at least 1 of you ally's cities, you can
create a joint, aided
attack which is composed of three forces: Main Force and 2 Reinforcements (1
from ally's city
and 1 from another one of your cities).

6. If you want to challenge an enemy general to a duel and he doesn't accept,
use your Army
Advisor's Fake command to confuse him and after a few tries, he should accept.

7. Use the TALK command at least once a month to increase your officers'
loyalty.

8. Assign officers with high POL stats to Farm or Commerce Task.

9. Assign officers with high WAR stats to Public Safety Task.

10. If you want to force an enemy general in war to a duel, use the army
advisor's FAKE command.

-----------------
B. OFFICER'S TIPS
-----------------

This is what your officers will tell you if you talk to them using the
MISC->TALK command.
I will explain some if necessary. Others are self-explanatory.

1. {Insert Name of Power here}'s officer, {Insert Ruler name here} is said to
draw people
to him like flies.

- If an officer tells you this, it means that he is praising that officer for
his CHAR stats.
  ex: Wei's officer, Cao Pi, is said to draw people to him like flies.

2. It is my dearest wish to find {Insert Item Name here}. There is no other
like it.

- It means he wants to find and receive the item.
  ex: It is my dearest wish to find Stallion of Fierce Winds. There is no other
like it.

3. It is best to appoint those with the same ideas to work together. They get
more done.

4. I feel that it is time that we thought about expansion. (Insert City name
here) appears to
be a likely choice. There are not many troops there. What does my lord think?

  ex: I feel that it is time that we thought about expansion. Xia Pi appears to
be a likely
choice. There are not many troops there. What does my lord think?

5. My Lord, I would be a better protector for {Insert city name here} than
{Insert officer name
here}

- Now here, you will see a rivalry between two officers. Do not always believe
the officer who
will tell you this.
  ex: My Lord, I would be a better protector for Chai Sang than Cheng Pu.

6. My Lord, there is a matter I would like to discuss in council. Do I have
your leave?

- You will be prompted if you want to hold a council with your officers
regarding a certain
matter.

7. I hear that people who dream of Empire tend to like military matters and
scheming.

8. {Insert name of power here}'s officer, {Insert officer name here} can truly
be called a
genius.

- The officer is praising another officer for his INT stats.
  ex: Wei's officer, Xu Shu, can truly be called a genius.

9. The higher you climb nobility, the higher ranks you can bestow upon your
men.

10. You receive taxes from trade cities each season.

11. The Han of old made Guan-Zhong their capital and conquered the land. We can
do the same
with {Insert region name here}. Let us start by taking control of {Insert city
name here}.

   ex: The Han of old made Guan-Zhong their capital and conquered the land. We
can do the same
with Yong. Let us start by taking control of Hui Ji.

12. {Insert name of power here}'s officer, {Insert officer name here} is a
truly strong and
noble warrior.

- The officer is praising another officer for his WAR stats.
  ex: Wei's officer, Xu Zhu, is a truly strong and noble warrior.

13. I hope someday, you reward me with the {Insert item type here}, {Insert
item name here}.

- The officer is asking you to give him a certain item.
  ex: I hope someday, you reward me with the Strategy Book, War Manual of Sun
Tzu.

14. Your warleader appears busy. It makes me want to jump in and do it for him.

15. It is more important to wait and build your strength after gaining a new
area.

16. Without a good I-net, you can't detect enemy movement. You end up fighting
in your city.

17. Warleader has such a nice ring to it. I certainly envy {Insert WL name
here}

  ex: Warleader has such a nice ring to it. It certainly envy Sima Yi.

18. Build up a strong force. Have a piece of of land to govern. Seems like a
good plan.

19. My Lord, maybe I shouldn't brag, but I excel at gathering information.

- If an officer tells you this, you might want to assign him to become an
Intelligence officer.

20. {Insert city name here} doesn't seem to have much in the way of farms. We
must develop more.

- It means you should focus on developing farms in a certain city.
  ex: Pu Yang doesn't seem to have much in the way of farms. We must develop
more.

21. The land is in chaos. A time like this is full of chances. Well, at least I
think so.

22. The no. of cities you can build a palace is limited. There's only seven or
so.

23. Lord, there is no point in attacking {Insert ruler name here} now. Just
send an envoy and
I'm sure that {Insert ruler name here} will submit. Shall we try it?

- Don't always believe if an officer tells you this but you might as well try
it.
  ex: Lord, there is no point in attacking Sun Quan now. Just send an envoy and
I'm sure that
Sun Quan will submit. Shall we try it?

24. In war, it is best to have an advisor. Without one, certain strategies are
useless.

25. Holding occasional; conferences keeps peace among your men. It lets them
know you care.

26. Building a palace requires six months time and 20000 in gold.

Note: This is not yet a complete list, I will try to complete it on the next
update.

C. READER'S TIPS
----------------

This section contains all the tips that are submitted by the readers of this
FAQ.
If you have a tip, please send it to jzdman@yahoo.com!
Of course, credit will be given to you...

From: manisan
-------------
Tips how to maintain your main army:
In battle outside the city, keep your main army surrounded by your sub-armies.
When the enemy
is approaching your HQ, it will be blocked by your other squads, and from the
HQ you could
attack with arrows. It works very well if you handle large enemies. Your HQ
won't lose any
troops and you can eliminate the enemies very fast.

Duel with the enemy commander:
Always try to taunt the enemy commander and if he responds, his army will be
confused. You
can try to challenge the enemy commander after that. The chance of the
commander accepting
the challenge is pretty high.

From: Sun Jian
--------------
Easy way to destroy a large power:
The easiest way to destroy a large power is cut off their supply lines. When
you attack an
enemy city and its supply line is cut, they will have no food and are more
easier to defeat.

Other ways to force a duel:
- Set fires
- Charge the target enemy until its soldiers panic

Prevent officers with low loyalty from being recruited:
Make low-loyalty officers go on a long term search so they can't be recruited.
This is useful
for building up a good general's loyalty.

From: fordandmazda
------------------
Decrease enemy morale:
Make your strong generals (High WAR stat) challenge an enemy officer. Usually,
they won't
accept the challenge. Their morale will decrease by one everytime the enemy
refuses. Do this
using more than one general and eventually the enemy soldiers' morale will go
down to zero.

Dealing with large enemy reinforcements:
Everytime your army attacks an weak enemy city, they will most likely send
reinforcements to
help the weak army defend their city. In the beginning of the battle, use the
majority of your
army to attack the enemy commander. When the reinforcements arrive, you can
simply ignore them
and concentrate on attacking the enemy commander. If the enemy commander is
defeated, the other
enemy generals will try to flee. You can try to pursue the fleeing enemy
generals and
reinforcements.
