A basic guide for player!
Start a new game:
I suggest you play the Gena story mode first. Although you may think you are too good for a beginner level, you need to learn the basic before you can fully enjoy the game. Once you select the Gene story mode, you will see some scenes, and then you will begin your first chapter.
Control your army:
First thing you should notice is you only have 5 acts per turn, which means you only can move 5 commanders per turn or fight 5 battles per turn. So I recommend you to use those acts wisely. Since you have to deal with enermy from multiple direction, you have to make sure you have enough army for some important intersection.
After you make the moves, you can do other things. You can go to shop to shop weapon, armor, acc, skill, otem for your commanders. There are couple shops in the selection, you should shop around since each shop is sepcializing in different areas.
Control your town
This is the most important part of the game. If you can manager this part, then you should be successful in this game. I will explain each part and some tips for you in the following section one by one.
Move
This option allow you to move any commander in your town to a different location. it will consume one act after you choose the move.
R&D
This option allow you to build new structure on the exist map. However, you need at least one commander to do it and that commander can not fight if other enermy invade the town, so you should have at least two commanders in the town if this town is connected with enermy's land. You can see there are some circle dot on the map, if you need to connect two towns or create a short cut, you can actually do this.
POLI
This option allows you to
Fortify--Increase your town's defence level against a enermy's attack
Invest--Increase Market level, which will gives you more income
Alliance--create a alliance with your enermy.
Keep in mind, when you assign one of your commander to do any one of those things, you will lose this commander's ability to fight or protect the town.
PRS
This will bring up all prisoniers you have in your town. Please remember you can convert a prisoner to be your commander. It is easier to convert a commander when its loyalty is low. There are some tips I want to tell you to convert a desierd prisoner:
1. try to use a same tyoe of commader to convert that commander
for example, use a human type of commander to convert another human tyoe commander
2. try to use a high charme level commander to convert.
3. you can use multipe commanders to convert one prisonier. I usually use like 6 or 7 commander to convert a commander that I really want. This works great for those prisonier whose loyalty is still 15.
RCT
This option allows you to rescuit more units for your commanders (29 Max)
you can use the quick button L and R. Press R your unit will go to 29 as long as you have enough gold.
LOY
You can increase your commander's loyalty by gives them gold or item.
SCH
You may get some gold or rare item by using this search option. You commander will not be able to fight while he is rearching.
STAT
This option will allow you to see your commanders' status. And you can change their weapon, armor, acc, item and skill through this opinion.
ARG
This opinion allows you to manually assign your commander as the protectors for the town.
Other tips:
If you play Gena story mode, please remember you can keep all your gold and units when you advance to next chapter. So I suggest you save some gold and recuite some good prisonier before you go to next chapter.
Beofre you can go to Chapter 3, move all your units to the town called Radvian because your enermy will be in the next town. You will save some time by moving your units beforehand.
Try to train some strong commanders by use same commander to fight many battles.
I am in Chapter 4 right now, and I have to say this is a interesting game. But they do not have a good guide for people to look at. But if you spend some time to play it, I think you will like it. Btw, The SUP Scene is really pretty.
