Submitted by: Raz

Once you complete the first level, you would be allowed to choose where to
go next, choose to attack shinja's fort first, then without building anything
send Kenji and Otomo(if you are with the dragon clan) Or send kenji on his
own(if you are with serpents) up to the very top of the land where shinja is,
you shoyld find his keep there, then select his keep and press CTRL+D to
destroy his keep and shinja will escape and you will win the level very
quickly, when you are on the next level, send kenji and otomo east until
you find shinja's base and shinja would be on a tower, destroy the tower
with CTRL+D and send kenji and otomo to attack shinja, keep using their
battlegear and you will have won both levels very quickly

First make sure you have the three brothers in your army. Next get the brothers
and try to attack it in nearby water... you will see them turn and make spins
that will trigger yang acquisition. now use your ying/yang to upgrade your units
defense and offense or make heroes to blast your enemies to smithereens.

First Build Towers And Place Your Desired Brother Type On The Tower (I Would
Prefer The Three Of Them) Then Destroy Your "Crypt Of Brothers Building". This
Way The Brothers Will "Only Die!!!" If Thr C.O.B. Will BE Destroyed. And Now
You Have Up To 9 Brothers!!! Wow!!! More Upgrades To Make!!!

Train a Ronin and let he learn Yin Blade. Now let him fight a tree and actived
his battle gear. And you will have a HUGE Yin (A tree for 5 Yin first time).

Excellent strategy Choco-Bob I play very similarly. I also think upgrading your Dojo
and Archery with special abilities also helps a great deal (Zen Accurary etc). Also
round up a few horses - they provide 2 very useful purposes-:

1. Peasants can use them as pack-horses thus allowing you to carry more water/rice
back to your Huts. The quicker you have your resources the quicker you get your
army.

2. Put your prized units on mounts and their attack rating goes up. Also you now
have the trample ability which I have found very handy in melee situations.

I also love Archers. As Choco-Bob advises use CTRL-1 (Or whatever) to group your
Archers then make them stand their ground. An enemy no matter what their Unit
type quickly crumbles under a hail of 10 or more arrows. I use CTRL-2 to also
group my Melee units and also use their special powers in battle (Intimidate,
Shield).

And yes - always save before a big battle. I also concentrate on the towers first,
then Enemy Archers, then Enemy Melee then structures. Weather the initial storm of
the Enenmy attacking you then sit back and build. It sometimes takes finesse but
that's half the fun!


Try the following:
------------------
1. Build more peasant huts. The more you have, the faster they spawn, the faster
your army grows, etc. More huts also increases your resource capacity (as does
building a Town Hall), so that your gatherers can be constantly building up a
fat rice/water bankroll, so you'll always have resources when you need them
(like when you need heroes, NOW).

2. Use battle gear. Both offensive and defensive. Even on your geisha. Equip
everybody and use it in combat.

3. In single-player, save early and often. Make Ctrl-S (quick save) and Ctrl-L
(quick load) your friends. I always quicksave before I invade a base. I wasn't
in the habit of doing this in Starcraft or AoE and it cost me a lot of time.

4. When invading, focus on towers first, then peasant huts, then barracks
(training buildings). Rush your melee guys up to the towers, and keep your
ranged guys AWAY from them. Towers have awesome range, but the unit atop the
tower can't fire at units attacking its base (i.e., there are no AoEII-style
"murder holes"). Tower charges (their battle gear, of sorts) are a bitch, too.
When attacking a tower, send one or two units in first, in the hopes that your
opponent (or the AI) will trigger the tower charge, then send the rest of your
squad against it.

5. Fire! Fire! Fire! Burn stuff. Dragon Warriors' flaming sword, Serpent
Raiders' torches, Wolf Pitch Slingers' pitch, and Lotus horse Infernal Breath
(among others) all have the ability to ignite structures. Use it. There's
nothing more confusing to your opponent (or the AI in single-player) than
to have some fire units run around their town igniting every structure they
see.

6. Use hot keys. B to activate batttle gear, S to stop, N to stand ground, G
to guard, O for non-agressive. Go into Options/Controls and study the whole
list. This also includes creating groups and assigning them hotkeys as well.


Destroy building without Attacking:
-----------------------------------
Once you see the enemy base without the fog covering it. Select the enemy
building that you want to destroy. After highlighting it press CTRL+D and
keep pressing it till you see the building destroyed. You can do this to
your allies to! (Evil Laugh)

Hey there strategy fans.We all know that there are two types of win. To cheat

building without the fog of war press left click on it and then ctrl D a

HOW TO GET YIN IN LOTUS:
------------------------
Submitted by: popot

Quickly build a Tomb of the Brothers and summon Lythis, one of the brothers
of the crypt. Just have him attack a tree and watch yin points add up.
This trick works well on a stage with lots of trees.

Unlimited Brothers:
------------------
Submitted by: popot

For the Lotus Clan:
1. As soon as possible build the Crypt of Brothers.
2. Train all 3 Brothers (you can use the Yin Farming to make it easier).
3. Build 3 Watchtowers.
4. Put the 3 Brothers on the 3 Watchtowers.
5. Destroy your Crypt of Brothers (CTRL+D x2).
6. Rebuild your Crypt of Brothers.
7. Build the 3 Brothers again.
8. Remove the old 3 Brothers from the Watchtowers.
9. Put the new Brothers on the towers.
10. Repeat.

* Notice * The brothers only use Yin, Rice, and Water. If you destroy your
Crypt of Brothers while the 3 Brothers are on foot, they will die with it.
That is why if they are one the towers, they dont die. This also makes the
computer think they are dead so it allows you to train new ones.

In skrimish mode you can secure your base more than before.build your base
with your ally team.example: In centar ring map build your base with ally &
build watchtower in two entrances.Use long range unit in watchtower(Cannoner,keg
Cannoner,Balastista Man or Unclean One).Your watchtowers will guard the entrances
& Allie's watchtowers will guard inside your base.Your soldires & Your Allye's
soldires will do enough to protect the base.Use a peasent with horse to collect
water for your ally.
if u play with Lotas use Hero sabon to creat golem.Use golem to cut rice for your
ally.Use Zymeth to call rain for rice field.After rain fall putting Zymeth in a
watchtower will be a good thing.

-----------------------------------------
First, make the Crypt Of Brothers then summon the three. Then, use the Yin

healers in Lotus that ride on horses.

Invisible + Multiple horses:
----------------------------
Have a peasant construct stables and let it catch just one horse. After the peasant
returns the horse back to the stables, get it back again to be used as a pack horse
but don't go away from the stables.
Get a warrior close to the stables then have the peasant return the horse to the
stables. Just before the horse disappears, click on the warrior then right click
on the vanishing horse. You must do this quickly for it to work. If not, your warrior
will get the horse from the stables.
If you do this correctly, you will see that the warrior is not standing on its 2
feet but instead, it is floating.

Infinite Lotus Consuming Trick:
-------------------------------
First, train a Second Tier unit, at least 20 units then command them to eat one
peasant. After that, click immediately 'The Peasant' and let it enter the watchtower.
The Second Tier unit will probably eat the base of the watchtower. If you click all
of the Second Tier unit that ate the watchtower, they will have Battle Gears without
killing the peasant.

How to Summon Kenji in Skirmish Mode?:
---------------------------------------
First, make sure that your population is 39/40.
Second, build a keep while the last peasant is generating from the Peasant Hut.
Third and last, make sure that when the last peasant comes out from the peasant house,
the keep is already built.
Note: the peasant should come out at the same time with the keep done in building.

Submitted by: Kenji

1) Want to destroy any kind of building in one key command? If your dragon or wolf go any
where near your opponents base if you see a base click it then use ctrl D.
NOTE: It is much easier for lotus and serpent because they can summon ninjas use
invisibility then go to your opponents base and use ctrl D, everywhere ha ha ha ha joke,
Ps:it may only work on battle realms v.1

2) Want infinite in in lotus? Summon only brothers tausil and lythis not sek it does not
work on him use force attack at the water using lythis and tausil keep trying until they
start moving at the water try it its fun you can summon any zen master you like but i
still worry about your rice and water though.

3) Do you know who is the greatest heroes in battle realms i know it because i've been
playing these for the last 6 years!DRAGON=Otomo because of his innate abbility (recovers
stamina) SERPENT=Kenji of course but in skirmish Shinja because of his poisonous swords,
LOTUS=Koril do you know why he can't be hit by (archers, crossbowmens, powder keg cannoneer,
samurai's arrows, raiders, musketeers, chemists, cannoneers, leaf disciples, unclean ones,
hurlers, pitch slingers, balistamans, druidress roots and even zen masters that are missile
type warriors or range type warriors. Thats all for the next edition of cheatbook and maybe
next time i will tell you how to finish kenji's journey dragon's path or serpent's path.
