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.

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! ------------------------ ---B.

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.

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.

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. ================================= =====VISIT THESE ROTK SITES!===== ================================= http://quantumirc.virtualave.net - Marcus Dion's ROTK site www.3kingdoms.net - the best ROTK site! www.Threekingdoms.com - online ROTK book www.sanguo-online.com - the best RTK Community!
