Technology:  You'd better upgrade the following battle related technology to at least Lv9 (Lv10 to be safe) Battle Skill Iron Defense Leadership Battle Curing Archery Navigation Riding Espionage

Hero: a main hero at Lv70 over 150 Courage (better legendary hero) and 5~6 minor heroes at Lv30+ with 100+ Courage. leadership is particularly important here, it determines if the hero bonus can be shared with the whole army. (his attack/courage will give bonus to army attack, and his Intelligence/defense will give bonus to army defense)

Items: Military Flag: to increase the marching amount. with a lv10 Rally Point, you can send out 125,000 troops. Medical Literature: to increase wound rate. usually it will be 10% on player side against a npc city. it will increase it to 40%. so when you lose 10,000 Cataphracts, you will get 4000 Cataphracts in Field Hospital instead of 1000. Combat Rune: to increase hero attack, so Leadership Rune: to increase hero leadership, so your army get more bonus from the hero. optional: War Horn Kekkai Wisdom Runes
