Get your important characters up to 6 or 7 in their respective stats before doing their upgrade events (e.g. You get +1 Action/Defense books from ransacking cities for gold after conquering them (and gold increases the longer you wait to do it, up to at least 5000 for one province). Go for your 50 Satisfaction Action Point Upgrade as early as you can by conquering houses and triggering H scenes, since you get 1 additional action per Turn and want it as early as possible (160/260 is the second/third). Pick a starting party of Lvl15-20 fighters and gradually Replace them when required and the lower you get for stronger attacks. When you do dungeons, you can switch out characters by clicking them and choosing "Retreat" while in battle, don't waste Action points going there several times. You can get up to 6 chicks that have backstory and are some of the best in combat like that every 6 turns, they also enable more SAT bonuses themselves, so they pay for themselves.Ī lot of important character events (especially those in your main city) trigger by themselves at the start of turns, don't bother losing Action Points by triggering them all manually (there are some you will have to though).
Get "Reinforcements from foreign lands" as Satisfaction rewards early. Go to war early (Turn 1/2), best house to start with is Hara. Some shit I wish I knew when starting out: /lgbt/ - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender.
