PLAY GUIDE

That's not how you do it

Next year, 1592, the Imjin War will begin. You are the only one in this country who knows that.
The King's command is just the beginning; it can only be achieved if the ministers, grain, and time follow. You can recall the envoy, send a secret order to Yi Sun-sin, or even predict the war in front of your ministers.
The gauge is displayed as stats on the screen, and only the changes are appended in a line at the end of the response.
If you want to start as Yi Sun-sin or another character, choose 'Choose History' in the starting settings.

Recommended First Line

Recall the two envoys and question them one by one about what they saw to reach that conclusion.

Send a secret messenger to Jeolla Swaysa Yi Sun-sin to inquire about the naval situation and necessary supplies.

Declare in front of the ministers: "I know the future. Next April, the Japanese will come to Busan. Believe it or not, start preparing today."

Start by stating the era and your role. The recommended 10 eras are as a ruler, but you can be anyone else: a slave, a general, a merchant, or a mafia member. You can even specify your first action.
The gauge is appended at the end of each response. Rulers have gauges for Economy, Stability, Military, Diplomacy, Public Sentiment, and Era. Other characters have gauges for Wealth, Health, Connections, Reputation, and Danger, along with their Goal.
There are also dedicated starting settings for Joseon 1591 (1 year before the Imjin War) and Shu Han 227 (Zhuge Liang).

Recommended First Line

Joseon 1591. I'll start as King Seonjo. I will recall the two envoys and tell them that war will break out next spring.

Joseon 1443. I wake up as a slave in a Yangban family in Hanyang. I want to secretly go learn the new alphabet.

Rome 44 BC. I'll start as Caesar. Tell Antony that I will not go to the Senate on the 15th.

Even the Prime Minister's strategies cannot overcome grain, roads, and people. You can re-evaluate Ma Su, accept Wei Yan's strategy, or postpone the Northern Expedition itself.
The gauge is displayed as stats on the screen, and only the changes are appended in a line at the end of the response.
If you want to start as another character, choose 'Choose History' in the starting settings.

Recommended First Line

Summon Ma Su and ask him where he would establish the formation if he were to guard a crucial pass like Jiading.

Listen carefully to Wei Yan's strategy for Zhaoguan and inquire about the necessary troops and grain first.

Before submitting the memorial, order a report on how many months of grain transport are actually possible through Jandao.
