Friends who have played the mobile version of 'Dominion of the Overlord' know that this is a pretty good strategy game, somewhat similar in feel to 'Heroes of the Three Kingdoms.' However, for some new players, it's inevitable to feel a bit troubled by the lack of generals at the beginning. So the author would like to share three methods he has summarized. (Not suitable for super difficult mode)
I. The Divide-and-Conquer Method
In the game's diplomacy options, there is a 'Divide' choice, which can lower the loyalty of enemy generals, making them easier to recruit. But what should be noted when using it?
First, the loyalty of the general being divided should ideally be below 90, and intelligence below 80. The general used to perform the division should preferably have intelligence above 85 and virtue above 80. The difference between these two and the enemy affects the amount by which loyalty decreases and the success rate of division. For example, when Zhuge Liang with 100 intelligence and 97 virtue attempts to divide Lü Bu with 70 loyalty and 27 intelligence, it is possible for Lü Bu's loyalty to drop by 10 points at once. But if Lü Bu has 99 loyalty, even Zhuge Liang will find it difficult to succeed, and if successful, loyalty will only drop by a few points. Once a general's loyalty drops below 40, you can choose to recruit them, again with someone possessing both talent and virtue. (Remember to save before both dividing and recruiting, because enemies may raise loyalty through rewards or someone else might recruit them first. After recruitment, don't forget to issue rewards and save.)
Summary:
Advantages: Division does not consume money. After dividing, loyalty is generally above 60, making it easy to retain the general, and their equipment and troops come along as well.
Disadvantages: The division method takes relatively longer and often requires multiple reloads.
II. The Forced Capturing Method
As the saying goes: 'Capture by force, ashes scatter to the wind.' The forced capturing method is a way to bring enemy generals from other factions over regardless of their loyalty, though at a higher cost. So, what are the prerequisites for using the forced capturing method?
First, because the loyalty of captured generals will be relatively low (below 30), you should reserve enough action points before war (preferably more than three), and save both before and after capturing, otherwise such painstakingly captured generals may be persuaded away by other factions after the turn ends. Second, the captured general must be in an adjacent city to yours, the city cannot contain only that one person, and the general cannot be a ruler.Your own city must have available space (a city can hold up to ten people), and remember to leave about 500 in reward money for each captured person. Once these conditions are met, you can start forcibly capturing enemies.\If the enemy you want to capture has a large force or is inside a city, it is recommended that two to three people capture them together, with at least one person staying in your own city to avoid having no way to retreat. First, use strategies or brute force to control the enemy's forces to around 500 (in a version with a maximum force of 3,000), then send your military officer with more than 1,500 troops to attack. Formation can be flexible (personally, I don't like using the second formation when capturing). After the battle starts, the enemy usually has only two cavalry units (one soldier has a maximum of 300 force, equivalent to health; the fewer the troops, the lower the attack). Have your generals and cavalry encircle the enemy, while other forces retreat to the boundary and stand by. If you're lucky, the enemy cavalry and your forces will not engage at the same time, which means you've succeeded halfway. When one of your cavalry reaches the back of the enemy general, success is almost complete. At this point, have your general stand by while cavalry surrounds the enemy general. When two or more units surround him, switch the cavalry to standby, start attacking the enemy to reduce their health below 15, then immediately confirm to switch everyone except the main general to encircle. After about half a minute, the general will be captured. You can also let the general move forward to duel after encircling, requesting surrender during the duel, but it is very difficult to capture those with high loyalty, so I personally prefer to use troops to capture.\After capturing, return to the map and immediately retreat. You will find that the captured general is also within the retreat group. Withdraw to your city, save immediately, then reward them. If they are swayed by intrigue, reload and try several times; soon the general will be yours. (I personally used this method to capture Zhuge Liang, and it worked well.) However, note that enemy generals will start to retreat when their forces fall below 150, so if you want to capture a city governor, you must leave an archer on the city wall without attacking, using arrows to maintain the encirclement.\Summary:\Forcible capture method. Advantages: Ignores intelligence, allows fast acquisition of generals with desirable loyalty.\Disadvantages: Costs money and supplies, limited capture range, prone to accidental injury, and difficulties arise when attempting to capture generals with very high strength.\3.

In the super difficulty of 152, Li Jian is just a joke, almost like capturing the enemy.
I played 152, and once I captured an enemy, someone else took them away, so frustrating~ Also, every time I run away in battle, I lose stamina, but others don't, really annoying!
