<p>Esben Kolind: </p> <hr /> <div>1. Strike a balance between protecting persons from events and getting victory points. Preventing all losses is inefficient, but losing several persons in one turn is devastating.<br /> <br /> 2. Turn order is important. Staying in the lead (or near it) on person points can be a major advantage, if you aren't sacrificing too much for it.<br /> <br /> 3. If you are far behind on person points, it's a good idea to have a lot of yuan. Having two or more tax collectors will help.<br /> <br /> 4. Plan ahead. If you are counting on getting a particular person or doing a particular action, don't wait until the last minute.<br /> <br /> 5. Know which persons are expendable. After a person has served their function, you can safely let them go.<br /> <br /> 6. If you have less than 3 yuan, skipping an action might be better than collecting taxes. 3 yuan can guarantee the next turn's action or pay most of an Imperial Tribute.<br /> <br /> 7. In the early game, consider things that give VP every turn: privileges, palaces, court lady.<br /> <br /> 8. Be sure to pay attention to what the other players are doing!<br /> <br /> 10. In the midgame, don't go after scholars. It's a trap.</div>
