It's good idea to assign officers that have same doctrine as your ruler during early game since same doctrine will reduce points to assign them. If you have officers with top tier policy that has all polices, even though it might be too expensive to assign them to battle, schemes, domestic, etc ,but you need only lv10 for each policy ,so you'd everything that you need. Remember same doctrine will reduce as much as 3 points.
What is surround and conquer and how does it work? Does it only applies when you are attacking a city? So you just occupy all the cores surrounding that city? and what benefit does it gives you?
surround and conquer happen when your force is bigger than your opponent or you capture most of the smaller city surrounding the city. It will automate conquer the whole are in that province or location. Conquer them will gave your army a boost to their fighting ability when they are fighting in that location.
Hi, I have problem in transporting food betwen cities because some generals take the difficult route so that they lose time to get to their destination. Do you have any suggestion?
Yeah, So transports can be forced to move the way you want with a relay point. Unfortunately you can't micro manage transports of divisions . So if you have a specific rout you want a non division transport to take you can force them to travel the route you want.
Really random. Do you know how to increase the noble ( and all of those ranks) rank past level 5? I'm trying to get all the trophies but it seems capped. Do you know if it's because I wasn't promoted or like have enough territory?
HOW please for the love of God, tell me HOW can i get more officers, been playing for days and have never once managed to find in a search in a city (hundreds of tries), recruitment has always failed... its super boring trying to get generals and limiting, i think the game is just broken... is there anything you can suggest before i throw it in the fire?
Some campaigns or Factions have a hard start for officers. If your officer starved the best way to attack the issue is prompt a force to attack you. Use your best officers and attempt to capture enemy officers and detain them. Capturing cities will also allow you to capture officers. Once their loyalty drains they are easy to recruit. I'm currently working on a campaign that will come out next week where I struggle with employing officers. Its important to note that the game is not broken due to lack of officers. You have to work around the issue. It's part of the challenge to the game. If your struggling with a faction or a campaign that's limiting you on officers try to play as some one different until you get the hang of it. Also if you are trying to play as Liu Bei, its built to struggle with officers. It takes a lot of finesse to get any campaign as Liu Bei rolling.
Agree with Bradekus Gaming. The lack of officer is part of the game feature. It has been like that since 1980s RTK series. I always like to choose rulers with little officers like Kong Rong, Gong Sun Zan, Liu Bei. You have to look out the list of officers from other countries every turn. try recruiting the officer with lowest loyalty. Try it every turn, I am sure you will get someone eventually. RTK also has a hidden affinity value. The closer the values, the higher the chance for recruitment. Liu Bei, Sun Quan & Cao Cao has the most officers with affinity value close to them. If you play as one of them, you probably get higher chance for recruitment. Also try your best to surround the invading troops with your own officer before they are routed. This increase the chance of capturing them. Capture enemy officer and try to recruit them every turn. I always end up being the ruler with most officer in the entire China map.
Heelp how do i beat one of these Super foreigners. I cannot beat Wuhuan they always seem to heal up their troops so fast. What to do. Im on normal difficulty.
Not random. You have to surround an area. By that I mean, you have to gain control of the areas connected to it. If you're unclear which areas are connected to each other : On the top right of the screen are some buttons (I'm sure you've used some of them). The one on the far left is display information - which opens a few more options. The one on the far left of that is "Regional Border". Once you click that, you'll see a bunch of lines. They are color coded. Either the color of the force that controls it, or white. White means more than 1 force controls that area connection. - So, what you want to do is control all the areas that touch the one you want to surround and conquer. Is pretty easy to understand once you understand what all the lines mean. Now, it seemed like a stupid feature to me at first - because it's usually easier to just roll over an area with a troop. BUT - It's VERY HELPFUL. Especially on your way to take a city. Because when you surround and conquer, you get that area, and all the surrounding areas FULLY CONQUERED. So, you don't have to waste time after you've captured the city with sending out troops to conquer (or waiting for your new area overseer to slowly get it done after several months.)
Some city's income is a bit confusing for me, i've level up com & agr in all area from lvl 3 to lvl 4, but the gold & food income didn't seem to increase, its stuck in 3k+ish gold & food while some city has 5k ish food & gold income with just lvl 2 com & agr
Play the merchant game - that's the best way to increase revenue. You'll still want to level up areas, but buying and selling your stock is OP. I replied to Mik4mi 48 a few posts up with specifics of doing so. Also, keep an eye on Training. It cost gold every turn, and you often don't need a trainer to keep them at max training level. Is pretty easy to waste 1,000 gold a month in a city just by keeping a trainer full time.
Hi, one question is building barack necessary in this game? Because troops incoming will naturally comes from your high STR Officer that you put in Recruit slot.
I would consider them necessary. Depending on the difficultly level you play at is where I would rank the importance. I have found that at the highest current difficulty I would say they are crucial to keep the troop flow going mid game. I just don't focus on them first in any city. Your economics have to be on par with the amount of troops you are producing. You can get away with not building them on lower difficulty levels, but it will slow the game down. One of the worst positions you can be in is not having enough troops to cover your losses and halt your forward momentum.
@@Bradekuswhite You're right, I tried to play at a hard difficult where everything changed before. Micro managing economics must be MORE tidy to maintain supplies and soldiers. Here I find more difficult to recruit enemies generals because their loyalty is high. I'm playing Liu Shan at Chu Bi Siao Campaign (Hard difficulty). I have a question, how to set up a new captured city if we have very limited amount generals? I can just put 3 generals for 1 city with several districts, but it takes very looong time to build up into maximum value.
Yeah it will take time if your officer starved. you have to micro manage the officers and move them around. Its not easy but you can throw a city into a district with few officers and let it do the micro management for you if needed.
Yes, but not as important as commerce. I don't mind micromanaging - so I regularly watch the areas. I always level up Commerce, Barracks, then Agriculture. In that order. As soon as I level up, I switch to the next. If you check the merchants - buy all the food you can when 10-70+ (leaving enough gold to make sure you can pay your bills).. then sell all the food you can when merchant is 10-30- (leaving at least 1.5 food for each troop) .. you'll be swimming in cash and food in no time. But yeah, higher barracks levels will increase your troop income.
I’ve only play RTK XIII and none of its predecessors. This game is visually giving me CIV vibes. Am I right in this feeling? Or not? Is there any similarity?
I think you mean Reg. Governor. You have to have 3 cities, 1 unified province, occupies more than 5% of that area, and be a Lt. Governor. Click on the information tab on the top right of the screen, then go to the other tab. In that menu you can look at ranks and the requirements for each.
What i wanna know is how to reach level 10 doctrine fast and easy ( going for specific trophy) I always get to end game its the beginning of 9. I know your suppose to win battles and captures cities but its soo slow. Would removing all resources from a base having an enemy take it and then retake it be a good plan?
Well, I haven't found a fast way to do it. I will say this. Every turn I make sure I teach my characters new tomes. That makes up the difference in the points. I teach them every single tome and even the characters I don't use on the field. If you watch my lets plays I bitch and complain about having to do it to. If you manage it every turn you will hit 10 by the end of a game. You could do it by abandoning cities too I think. I haven't tried it.
Scholar is the key to this. Make sure you have a lot of characters with the scholar trait and employ the ones that have the same doctrine as you in your administration. That'll ramp up your doctrine really quickly.
It's good idea to assign officers that have same doctrine as your ruler during early game since same doctrine will reduce points to assign them.

Thanks a ton for this. ROTK14 is my first game in the series and I am still figuring things out. Love it so far though!
hello just subbed, im trying to get into this series of game. which one of the recent ones should i play first?

nice one thanks. This game is so frustrating.
Adjudant officer is crucial. I think it should be number 1 tips
Gw malah jarang pake, krn officer bs aktifin skill otomatis
You can say that again
Any tips how to Build . FORT (Requier) Avail. with Triggered effect( Unlock Support Facilities Lvl 7) .. what that means dude. Tq

Good video, how do we build ships? I am WU and own most of the South and still am using the basic ship.
In administration it falls under one of the options find one that says "releases ships at this level" and allocate some points to that
@@Christopher-Kisby no its train engineer

then, how to trigger surrond and conquer ? or how to use it? for me, its only appear random
As far as i know, that occurs randomly when you attack enemy territory, once you capture the s&c core, all surrounding cores will be yours

That's because some cities may have few areas ie Ping Yuan, Xiao Pei, etc while Chang An, Luo Yang, and major cities have load of areas to develop.

How i can get more soldier for a general ? My general just march with 3k soldiers
You need to give you General a Title under the appointments menu.
Bradekus Gaming thank you :))
how do you get promoted to Reg. General?
