SECTION --- SELECTING AN ADVISOR
=============================================================================
=
When you begin a game, you must choose an advisor. Once you have selected an
advisor, any time during the game you can consult with the advisor for advise
by pressing the Up or Down Directional Buttons. Each advisor has his or her
own personalities and attributes, however they all offer the same advise at
their roots. The following documents each message that is given by each of
the advisors.
----------------------------------------------------------JADE THE
ENLIGHTENED
1. If treated properly, monsters will fight well for us
2. A band of mercenaries could be useful in battle
3. We need more gold to maintain our stance
4. We must provide more food for the people
5. We lack supplies of food and gold
6. Province [#] will fall to you with little damage
------------------------------------------------------------JASPER THE
RIDDLER
1. Mercenaries fight with skill; hire them or others will
2. Employing monsters for defense is an act of common sense

6. The thing to do of course is build our fighting force
7. Investing to prevent disaster helps our power to grow faster
8. Bad harvests are at hand unless we improve the land
9. To protect your royalty improve the people's loyalty
10. Province [#] we must attack; it's too weak to push us back
11. You ask for me to help you rule? I'm a joker, not a fool!
12. At last the deed is done: all the lands ruled as one
---------------------------------------------------------------ELDROW THE
WISE
1. The time has come to attack province [#]
2. Monsters are dangerous, but can help win wars
3. Hire crusaders to defy your enemies
4. Our security depends on the size of our army
5. Find a means to earn gold
6. Your people will starve before long
7. We are poor in gold and food
8. A wise ruler is generous to the people
9. A wise ruler prepares for sudden disasters
10. The fields require cultivation
--------------------------------------------------------------ZORAX THE
MIGHTY

2. Recruit more soldiers for our army
3. Seize province [#] before it's too late!
4. Let's add mercenaries to our forces
5. Our soldiers cannot fight on empty bellies
6. We cannot wage war without gold
7. You must earn more gold and harvest more food
8. The people have little faith in you
9. Cultivate the fields or the crops will die out
10. Invest to protect our troops from natural disasters
