I am more interested in being a prefect, but have no luck so far. AI keeps appointing dumbasses that you can swipe off the floor in one or two hits, instead of famous officers.

I think this game wants me to raise banner and be a ruler myself.

The recent fun/not so fun thing for me to do is raise a banner at the capitol of a big kingdom. Your attack power apparently is reduced with low army %

-how often they are in combat, including any combat you initate. This means you can rapidly raise team levels by raiding/invading with team members, though if you do this continually you will raise levels far, *far* faster than they do.

-over time. how quickly they raise merit naturally is governed by the particular NPC's way of life, with rarer ways of life [higher tier] yielding faster progression than slower ones.

Note that you can also train them directly, for a modest fee, if you feel they are falling behind.

They can win without your help if they are directed properly, but you must survive the battle, no matter what position in the army you are, and in the case of invasions by a ruler that's not you, you must also join the battle to win. please note that in order to direct them 'properly' in this game you usally have to position yourself and then issue derpy escort, defend or advance orders to get them moving in the right corridors. compared to actually just beating up the other army its a lot of micromanaging nonsense.

which is the best way to level up characters?

Zilong17 8 years ago

Battles provide a nice chunk of Merit, especially if you can get all the high paying Battle Objectives, though some aren't always feasible. The strategy objectives are usually pretty easy. If you're a ruler you can dedicate training to your officers to raise the Merits as well. You can also get still more Merits from Quests and Raids.

I'm not sure how the Free Mode works in Empires, I haven't used it. It is an Empires tradition hwoever that each new "Empires game" resets your characters unless you use bonus points, however, so I would assume the answer is no.

You could always assume direct control and have the AI play as your main guy while you control the subordinate.

When you're weak, be stronger. It's as simple as that.

Battle Hints

Bases

There are both allied and enemy bases on the battlefield. Defeating the enemies within a base causes its Durability to decrease, and when it reaches 0, the base will be captured. Capturing a base will increase allied morale and also give you additional troops. Bases have spot turrets. The more spot turrets you have, the higher the Durability of the base. And the higher the number of troops of the army controlling the base, the more spot turrets it can have. You can also increase the number of spot turrets by using stratagems. The six types of bases are listed below. Offensive Bases, Defensive Bases and Supply Bases can provide your forces with beneficial effects if you have at least five or more of the same kind.

Standard Base A base with no special features. Offensive Base A base that increases the Attack ability of allied officers and troops. Defensive Base A base that increases the Health of allied officers and troops. Supply Base Reduces the rate of decline in allied troop numbers. Secondary Camp A special kind of base that only appears on the defending side of battles. Capture this and even if you do not achieve the victory conditions for the battle, you will earn a Successful Raid and will gain an advantage in battle for a set period of time. [You will not gain the territory, but you will not lose the battle either.] Main Camp Capture this to win the battle. However, when invading territory containing a Ruler or Prefect, the victory condition will be to defeat the Ruler or Prefect, not capture the main camp.

♦ Instant Bases

There is a stratagem that enables you to create simple bases wherever you like, such as catapults that can attack the enemy, or healing turrets that can heal nearby allies. Attacking an Instant Base will destroy it.

*A certain amount of space is required to make an Instant Base.

Troop Strength & Returning to Battle

Troop Strength & Returning to Battle

When an officer is defeated, they will be forced to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield. However, if they still have troops remaining, they will be able to return to the battle after a set period of time. Returning to the battle one time will consume one troop strength marker. Officers who are defeated when they do not have any troops remaining will be forced to retreat. Additionally, defeating an officer in areas where allied influence is extremely strong can enable you to capture officers that have troops remaining, or force them to retreat. If your playable character is defeated in an area where the enemy influence is extremely strong, you will be forced to retreat and lose the battle, even if you have troops remaining.

Battle Orders

When you are the Commander, you can give orders to your subordinate officers during battle. If you are not the Commander, then you can ask for certain actions to be performed. There are "Army Orders" and "Individual Orders" available during battle.

♦ Army Orders [Commander only]

You can give orders to your entire army by using .

Advance Order your entire army to attack nearby bases. Defend Order your entire army to defend nearby allied bases. Escort Call the nearest allied unit and have it protect you. Delegate Allow your entire army to act on their own orders.

♦ Individual Orders [Commander only]

You can also give orders to individual units. Use "Individual Orders" from the Info Screen [] to select a unit and give the orders.

♦ Request Action

If you fulfill certain conditions during battle, you will be able to use stratagems. First, press to switch to the Select Stratagem/Usage screen. Then press and to select a stratagem, and to use it. Using a stratagem will deplete the Stratagem Gauge. The amount used up by the gauge differs by stratagem. Once a stratagem has been used, it will take a set period of time before it can be used again. The amount of time required between usages also varies by stratagem. Some stratagems can only be used once per battle.

♦ Large Scale Stratagems can change the course of the battle in an instant!

There are also Large Scale Stratagems that can instantly capture enemy bases, or inflict heavy damage against the enemy army. Large Scale Stratagems are highly effective, but they require a large amount of time between uses. Furthermore, in order to make the necessary preparations, a number of units will need to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield. Be sure to plan the usage of these stratagems carefully, such as times when you are certain you will not be defeated before the stratagem can be prepared. Of course, the enemy can also perform Large Scale Stratagems of their own. When the enemy begins preparing to use a Large Scale Stratagem, try to defeat the officer responsible or use a stratagem designed to lessen the impact of enemy stratagems in order to minimize the damage against your forces.

Supply Routes & Territory

Supply Routes & Territory

The paths that connect bases are known as supply routes, and the area surrounding supply routes connecting the allied main camp to each base is known as territory. When in their own territory, the abilities of allied units increase, and it is easier to capture enemy officers. Conversely, when you are in enemy territory, the enemy's abilities will be increased, and it will be easier for allied officers to be captured. In addition, the more troops you have, the more territory and allied bases you will start out with at the beginning of the battle. If the enemy captures one of your bases, the supply route between that base and your main camp will be cut off. Bases that have been cut off become isolated and their effects will be weakened.
