Cathay INTEL
INTEL
There are three INTEL trees in Cathay, each with 19 different skills. Each skill has between 1 and 3 levels. Initially, only one hex is available to upgrade in exchange for INTEL (gathered passively during exploration). To make any hex available, an adjacent hex must first be fully upgraded. Additionally, some hexes have a "release condition" required before it can be unlocked. Below is a list of all Cathay INTEL.
Recommended Upgrade: Wei, Shu, and Wu tiles 2 and 4 increase SPD and Prestige earned in their respective kingdoms, so this is a great start. Tile 9 also unlocks the Key Clue necessary for Sima Yi. Besides these, tiles 6 and 8 for each area, if raised to level 3 early on, could reduce the number of necessary explorations to 100% the realm.
Recommended Upgrade: Tiles 1, 3, 7, 12, and 17 in each Kingdom unlocks their generals and getting these unlocked asap is important. Tiles 16 unlocks new areas within Cathay.
Recommended Upgrade: Wei tile 9 unlocks the Key Clue necessary for Sima Yi, and Shu tile 9 unlocks the ability to pay respects to dead generals. Get these as soon as possible. Wu tile 14 triggers a special event that rewards a great gear for Cathay, so the sooner the better. Finally, Wu 5, 9, and 11 are great for more resources and 19 gives a strong orange relic as well.
