Re: Chinese Literature

<<P.S. - Romance of the Three Kingdoms
(SPOILER) gets pathetically easy after a while. The
computer is way too scared to attack, and will never leave
the rice unguarded. Meanwhile, when you attack it, it
sits in the cities and tries to burn you even when
you're obviously inflammable for the month. Because it
won't divide units to occupy castles and usually goes
after your army anyway, you can defend simply by
running aimlessly around.>>

On the PC: I've
had the computer divide units before. I've also had
(when I am attacking) the computer army try to attack
my army out in the field even when I am vastly
outnumbered. I notice the games are different for the PC and
the NES ... the coolest thing about the PC version is
you have the ability to build new castles up to a
pre-set maximum for each state (7-10).

In Genghis
Khan 1, all you have to do to win is have one unit and
have it be archers. If the defending army has other
cavalry units attack them first before they join up with
the headquarters unit (unit 0) in the castle, where
they will be harder to dislodge. If your abilities are
below 200 all-around, refuse duels. 

The
computer is also very stupid when it formulates an attack
strategy, for example they will have 200 soldiers in a
country, and then attack with 150 of them. You can then
waltz in and defeat the 50 that remain. Nobunaga's
Ambition is like that too, but weathering an attack in
that game is a lot more difficult.
