Before pressing start. Make sure you have these settings:

Difficulty: Beginner (Higher chance to get your ultimatum accepted) Fog Of War: / (This is not really important since you are only going to send Ultimatums, but you can change it if you want) Game Speed: 200% (Setting your game speed high reduces the amount of turns you need to skip) AI Agressiveness: / (This does have impact but not that much so they wont acccept Ultimatums. I usually ignore this option but you can change it if it's easier)

If you have these settings, press start and your timer at the same moment.

What you want to do is spam your space-bar key till you get around 30k money. If you go higher you are alot safer but you also lose time.

You start the game with your capital selected, what you do now recruit an army at that capital. If you did the first recruit, go the next turn and you recruit again. 2 recruits is usually enough, if you want to be safe you do this for the third time.

I explain the process here if you have Chu

It's now time to send countries Ultimatums. What I usually do is beginning at the left (Ba, Shu and Qin). After that you go to the right, around Chu (Han, Wei, Song and Yue) and then you want to go up (Qi, Lu, Zhao, Zhongshang and Yan)

Start by sending insults first if that's needed, it's the best to keep the 'insult screen' close to the 'send insult' button to prevent moving your mouse a lot. Once you did that, send an ultimatum. After that make sure you go to the next turn.

Now repeat this process with all the other countries.

My tips:

If you don't have enough diplomatic points, I recommend skipping at least 3 times instead of 1.

When you are in the middle of the run, make sure you skip sometimes thru it.

Don't look if someone rejected your Ultimatum, just keep going till the end first and then fix the problems if needed.

You usually want to focus on your left side of the screen more, that is where all the action is happening for the run. Ignore your right part.

Making a misclick is OK, just go back to what you want to go and continue on, if you accidentally clicked on something that wont hide unless you do it yourself, try to ignore it but if it's really annoying, you can click it away.

Make sure you make as little mouse movement as possible, try to keep all your clicking targets in a small place. (I play with low sensitivity to make my precision better, but this is up to you).

[section=Conquer China, Victory%]

With this run, you do the same steps as above but you need to do a little more work. So with this run, you want to send another ultimatum, but this time about annexing.

So first of all, you have 2 ways of ending the first part (Vasal):

Send all countries the first Ultimatum, getting the victory screen, then going back. (Safe) Skipping alot more while doing the first part so treaties run out. (Skip victory screen, faster but riskier)

Both options are fine, just look for yourself which is better.

So sending countries another Ultimatum is simple. Start with the countries you sent the first Ultimatum first. Then do the same as you did with sending the vasal Ultimatum but this time you do it with the annexation one.

Ignore it if countries don't accept your annexation and try again once you sent everyone an Ultimatum.

[section=NME, Victory%]

Before pressing start. Make sure you have these settings:

Difficulty: Beginner (Easier war) Fog Of War: / (This is not really important since you are not the one going in war, but this is optional) Game Speed: 200% (Setting your game speed high reduces the amount of turns you need to skip) AI Agressiveness: 50 (Chu will be easier to get as ally)

The ideal civilization for this run is: Yue

If you have these settings, press start and your timer at the same moment.

Start by improving relations with Chu. You do this until your diplomatic points run out. Then skip some turns to get it back and do this again. If you have around +50. Ask them to be allies.

Now Chu is your ally, the trick here is to let Chu do all the war. Start by declaring war on Han, make sure you call Chu. Then keep skipping turns until Han is conquered. Then you do this same process with Wei, Song, Qi, Lu, Zhao, Zhongshang and Yan.

If you did this correctly, you now have a victory.

My tips:

If you don't have enough diplomatic points, I recommend skipping at least 3 times instead of 1.

Making a misclick is OK, just go back to what you want to go and continue on, if you accidentally clicked on something that wont hide unless you do it yourself, try to ignore it but if it's really annoying, you can click it away.

Make sure you make as little mouse movement as possible, try to keep all your clicking targets in a small place. (I play with low sensitivity to make my precision better, but this is up to you).

If Chu doesn't accept your ally request, just keep improving relations.

If you see that Chu gets beaten in a war, don't reset yet. They may make a comeback.

You can send money to Chu if you have it. This makes your run safe but it will cost time.

If your civilization gets attacked, let Chu handle it.

Some civilizations can't be taken at once, just wait out the treaty and attack again.

[section=NME, Conquer China]

With this run, you are the one being 'Chu' now.

Before pressing start. Make sure you have these settings:

Difficulty: Beginner (Easier war) Fog Of War: Off (See what your opponent has) Game Speed: 200% (Setting your game speed high reduces the amount of turns you need to skip) AI Aggressiveness: 50 (Easier war)

The ideal civilization for this run is: Chu

If you have these settings, press start and your timer at the same moment.

What you want to do is spam your space-bar key till you get around 30k money. If you go higher you are alot safer but you also lose time.

You start the game with your capital selected, what you do now recruit an army at that capital. If you did the first recruit, go the next turn and you recruit again. 2 recruits is usually enough, if you want to be safe you do this for the third time.

Start by taking Han, since your troops are at the capital.

After that, generate some money and train troops around Wei.

Repeat this process in order: Song, Yue, Qin, Ba, Shu, Zhao, Zhongshang, Qi, Yan

With this run, the chance is high to get attacked yourself, don't consider this a bad thing, this makes you even faster.

After you conquered everyone, you completed the run!

My tips:

Making a misclick is OK, just go back to what you want to go and continue on, if you accidentally clicked on something that wont hide unless you do it yourself, try to ignore it but if it's really annoying, you can click it away.

Make sure you make as little mouse movement as possible, try to keep all your clicking targets in a small place. (I play with low sensitivity to make my precision better, but this is up to you).

Use your move to button instead of move.

Spam your space-bar when in war.

Some civilizations can't be taken at once, just wait out the treaty and attack again.

Spread out your troops around the civilization you want to take.

This guide also works with the new Asia map, it just takes a little bit more time since there are a lot more provinces.
