Becoming a Marshal?

[Chau]

How do you actually become a marshal, I joined Cao Cao kingdom. Fight in every battle, defend every battle, and finally Cao Cao decided to put Guan Yu as Marshal and I'm as a prefect

prefect prevents becoming strategist/marshal i believe (i may be wrong) you have to complete more battle objectives and guan yu cant be the marshal, otherwise you will NOT get promoted (get him captured or slander the crap out of him)

No, I tend to go from common to prefect to marshal or strategist, depending on what you did the most.

I might be wrong here, but to get marshal you need to fight the battles AND complete the battle objectives all the time. Same with strategist, except with strategy objectives in mind.

Of course, if the AI has already appointed officers to marshal or strategist, you really need to slander to get them out of it.

Conditions for Marshal are linked with your way of life.

Achieving Flying General way of life will pretty much guarantee a promotion to Marshal.
Other ways to boost your standing include slander and assassination quests (Regional Lord). You can get rid of those pesky peons that block your way to the top.

Strategist I found tougher to get, but it seems to link more with your way of life, so if you complete too many Brave titles too early, it takes longer to recognize your strategic accomplishments.

Also, if you are looking for a simple way to get the title that comes from being a vagabond straight to Marshal/Strategist - get to that status, leave the faction, rejoin and increase merits accordingly. This should happen within 6 months otherwise the ruler has appointed someone else more than likely, and will offer you a lower position =/ If that is the case, you can turn down the position and assassinate/slander the poor sap who took your job, and wait for your leader to promote you again. Rinse and repeat. Also, I've found being friends with a ruler helps this somewhat, although I'm not sure how MUCH this affects it.

To become a Marshall you need to achieve most of your battle objectives. In other words, stuff like defeating a number of officers or capturing a specific base... As for becoming a Strategist, that one is based on strategic objectives, such as making alliances, building facilities, recruiting, etc.
