Chapter 46 Trial!
“My treasure friends, let’s change the taste today and play some games.
“Treasure appraisal? I won't give it a try today. The main reason is that you never have any good products. You always bring some jade Ultraman and pure gold gourd dolls to me for evaluation. The key point is that they are all a group of men. This is so boring.
"What? Urging you to update the video of the Three Kingdoms series?
"Don't rush me, don't rush me, you didn't see that I was drawing materials.
"I have never played this company's games, but I heard that they have a good reputation. They are a very imaginative company."
"Let me take a look, oh, the games made by this company are quite complicated, and they cover a wide range of topics." , quite similar to me.
“Okay, let’s try playing “The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon” today. I’m very familiar with the Three Kingdoms! This kind of strategy game is my strong point, so I have to clear it without any damage.
"Let's set a small goal first. First, keep Jingzhou and Guan Erye, and then help the Prime Minister support the Han Dynasty. When these two goals are achieved, let's see if we can help Cao Cao pick up wives from all over the world.
“I don’t know yet whether this game supports playing like this, but I heard that this game has a high degree of freedom. Give it a try.”
Chen Tingquan said as he officially entered the game.
The game opens with a simple CG cutscene.
The clouds and mist dispersed in the sky, and when you look down on the large map of the ancient Three Kingdoms, the outlines of the Thirteen States are clearly visible. Between the cities, you can vaguely see various villains representing pedestrians, merchants and troops. A moment later, black clouds appeared in the sky, and a large amount of demonic energy entered the cities of the world, possessing various historical figures.
A rather simple and even scrawled cutscene CG roughly tells the story background of this game, and then enters the official game content.
“This game doesn’t look like a big production.
"Don't make it too simple, it will make my wisdom useless."
Chen Tingquan complained a few words. As a history lover, he has played a lot of strategy games, so Still quite confident.
Obviously, "The Legend of Wolong" cannot be compared with classic strategy games such as "Three Kingdoms". It can only be said to be a streamlined and miniature version.
Chen Tingquan is also a little worried that this game is too simple and will be boring if you can complete it in one go.
When you officially enter the game, you will see a very simple and crude explanation interface, as well as options for four historical periods.
[At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were in dire straits, plagues were raging, and demons were rampant. 】
【Demons possess historical figures, and they have only one goal, and that is to kill the "man of destiny" Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and plunge the world into eternal ruin! 】
【Please play the role of "Wolong" Zhuge Liang, protect Liu Bei who is also a "Man of Destiny", develop and strengthen your own power as much as possible, defeat all demons, and finally complete the goal of supporting the Han Dynasty! 】
【Notes:】
【1. Please remain highly vigilant at all times, the people of destiny are enemies in the world, and all monsters will kill you and Liu Bei at all costs! 】
[2. This is a highly free world. All characters have their own ideas and goals. Major events in it are likely to be inconsistent with history. Please make your own judgment. 】
【3. Properly use your resourcefulness and "Wolong Strategy" to survive as much as possible in this troubled world! ]
[Please select the time when the game starts:]
[1. Do not use Qianlong (189-197)]
[Representative event: Dong Zhuo’s entry into Beijing , the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces attacked Dong, and Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou]
[2. Gongping Nanyang (197-207)]
[Representative events: Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan]
[3. Wolong came out of the mountain (207 -223 years)]
[Representative events: Three visits to the thatched cottage, the Battle of Chibi, Guan Yu's shock to China]
[4. The Minister of Tuogu (223-234 years)]
[Representative events: Seven Captures of Meng Huo, Six Out of Qishan, Autumn Wind in Wuzhangyuan]
“Oh? You can choose the historical period.
“My dear friends, please pay attention, the real game starts from here It started in a moment. Don’t think that this game is the same no matter what time period you choose, it’s definitely not the case!
"I guess, the difficulty of these four periods must be different."
Chen Tingquan feels like he is possessed by the famous detective Sherlock Holmes at this time, just from the current situation Within the limited information, the key conclusion that "the difficulty of the four periods is different" was drawn. "Obviously we should choose the first two stages!
"In fact, Ji Han gathered so many heroes. Why didn't he revive the Han Dynasty in the end? The most important thing is time! There is not enough time!
"I, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty, started too early. It's too low. He only has a stable territory at a very old age. By the time Zhuge Liang left Qishan, he had already mined nine mines, and he only had ten years left in his life.
“So after all is said and done, there is still not enough time and the starting point is too low!
“Inferring from this, the game must be easier the further forward, and the more difficult the game farther back.
"My dear friends, let's think about it. In 189, Zhuge Liang was only 8 years old. If we could control Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Bei at this time, what would happen in 223 years, during these thirty years? Then what would happen? The picture is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it!
“So friends, if you also play this game, you must remember that these four stages are from easy to difficult. "
After Chen Tingquan analyzed it, he felt that what he said was very reasonable.
Then he decisively chose stage 1: "Do not use Hidden Dragon" in the barrage of praise. That is, it starts in 189.
“My dear friends, I am not a coward. After all, it is my first time to play this game and I need to understand the game mechanics first. When we become proficient, we can then take on more difficult challenges, okay? ”
...
When the game officially starts, the first thing that comes into view is still the huge map of the ancient Three Kingdoms.
There are thirteen states scattered on the map, as well as many large and small cities.
Of course, even if the game's large map is shrunk, it can never be displayed on one screen. You still need to drag the map to see all the details.
The game uses keyboard and mouse operation by default. Click on these cities to view their detailed status.
The basic information of the city includes: population, taxation, grain storage, etc.
After clicking on a certain city, you can also see a list of the main characters in the city at that time. The list includes not only those historical figures with surnames, but also some NPCs, BR county magistrates, county captains and the like.
Between the cities, you can also see farmers farming in the surrounding fields, merchants coming and going, marching armies, etc.
Of course, in order to facilitate players' understanding, these large map elements have been scaled to a certain extent, which is somewhat similar to the representation of airplane and ship routes in "Plague Company".
At first glance, it feels like it is full of vitality and everything is competing.
But if you pay careful attention, you will find that the BGM at this time is full of dangers and even has a certain evil spirit. And the heads of many historical figures in the city seem to be evil, and some of the more serious ones even have a "demon surrounding" special effect.
Obviously, this is the "demon rampage" mentioned in the background story.
At this time, there are two highlight effects on the map, one is in "Yuzhang" and the other is in "Youbeiping".
The former is the location of Zhuge Liang, the man of destiny. At this time, his uncle Zhuge Xuan is serving as the governor of Yuzhang; while the latter is the location of Liu Bei. At this time, he is following Gongsun Zan and has not yet joined the fight against Dong. In the coalition forces.
Then, the game provides simple teaching and guidance on the information on the interface and the operations that players can currently perform.
To put it simply, there is a round every three months in the game, and there are four rounds in a year.
Each round, the forces in the world will take turns to act.
Players can only control the forces of Zhuge Liang and his subordinates. Each general or civil servant can act once.
In other words, the greater the power, not only the more resources it has, but also the more things it can do each round.
There are three main types of operations that players can perform.
The first category is conventional internal affairs operations, such as farming, collecting taxes, recruiting refugees, eradicating thieves, etc.
The second category is conventional military operations, such as training, attacking, defending, or using special formations or strategies.
There are many types of strategies here. For example, among the thirty-six strategies, the strategies such as "Darkness in Chen Cang", "Troubled Tigers Away from the Mountain", and "Fish in Troubled Waters" are all present.
This type of strategy can be used by all generals with relatively high intelligence, but each general has different strategies, and the effects will be slightly different.
For example, "Hidden Chen Cang" can make a certain troop march in concealment, "Turn the Tiger Away from the Mountain" can lure a certain enemy troop away, and "Fish in troubled waters" can take advantage of the melee between two hostile forces. .
However, the system also directly explains that players can only choose a certain strategy, but the specific execution and results are all done by AI calculations. It is not ruled out that some brain hemorrhages may occur.
The third category is special operations, which is "Wolong Strategy".
These can be regarded as powerful skills that only Zhuge Liang has. They are divided into seven types, namely stargazing, tips bag, farming, tongue war, fire attack, empty city, and stars. Each round players can Choose any three to execute.
