For the introduction and interpretation of this game, we have actually done it many times before. The reason why I want to talk about this game today is mainly about the most basic setting in the game, that is, the choice of forces and the development of forces, and then let's talk about it briefly.
When you first enter the game, you will see a screen where the monarch is selected. There are a total of 7 monarchs corresponding to 7 factions, which can be chosen by everyone.
But you know what?In fact, the placement of these seven forces is particular.
From left to right, from top to bottom, this is a basic division logic of the difficulty of power. To put it simply, according to this rule, Liu Bei's forces are the easiest, and the most difficult forces are Dong Zhuo's forces at the bottom.
The reason why many veteran players will talk about the upper three forces and the lower four forces is that Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are the three forces that are the best to use, while the forces of Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Liu Zhang and Dong Zhuo are the most difficult to use.
Why is this so?In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, an attribute that is useless for other generals, but very important for the monarch - virtue.
Physique, Martial Wisdom, Virtue and Loyalty, these are the five dimensional attributes of the military generals of the Overlord Continent.
Among them, physical strength, as the name suggests, is the key to whether a military general can survive, and it is the most important;
Force, on the other hand, determines the general's battlefield combat ability and strategy release and internal political ability, respectively, which can be said to be the core basis for the division of military generals
The final virtue and loyalty will not have any effect on the general's ability. But the latter is useless for the monarch, but for the general, it directly determines whether the opponent can be stable under your command. Below 90 points, there is a risk of defection, so for it, it is a very important attribute.
The last virtue is useful for the monarch and the city guard.
Degao's Taishou can quickly gain dominance by rewarding the people, although it is a bit chicken, but it can be used in specific situations.
Virtuous monarchs, on the other hand, can increase the efficiency of rewarding generals with loyalty
To put it simply, it is a monarch who is not virtuous enough, except for the generals whose initial loyalty is more than 90, it is not difficult to ensure that all other generals can obey orders.
Liu Bei's reward of 10 gold can increase the loyalty of the generals by up to 9 points, but Dong Zhuo's reward of 100 gold can increase the loyalty of 5 6 points. You can imagine how difficult this is.
Of course, the main thing that determines the difficulty of the seven major forces is the level of the monarch's morality, but in addition, there are also factors such as occupying the city, defecting to the generals, and their own attributes. As for how difficult the seven forces are and how to start playing, let's continue to look down.
First of all, let's talk about the simplest and most popular force - Liu Bei and Uncle Liu Huang.
Although there are only three generals at the beginning, and the geographical location is in a relatively barren state. But Liu Bei's strength in the early stage can be called the first of many monarchs.
Not to mention anything else, Guan Yu, the general under his command, alone is already a fierce man who can slaughter other forces in the early stage. If you are willing to work hard to let Zhang Fei study, then these two famous generals, plus Liu Bei, whose strength is not bad, there is no city that Liu Bei's forces cannot defeat in the early stage.
And because of the protection of Gao De, Liu Bei was also the easiest monarch to steal Lu Bu in the early days, and if he directly saved the envelope and added two 10 gold rewards, Lu Bu's basic loyalty could exceed 70 points, at least he would not be taken away by others on the battlefield.
Because of his powerful generals and high morality, Liu Bei in the early days was very suitable for fast-moving combat. Generally speaking, the best way to play is as shown in the figure below
In 189, Liu Bei was able to quickly launch an attack on Yuan Shao beside him. The reason why you play Youzhou is also very simple, that is, in 190, we can find Zhao Yun here, who has the strongest comprehensive attributes in the whole game, and is even a little easier than Guan Yu.
If you use this year to let Zhang Fei and Lu Bu study to 80+, then Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu, the five strongest generals in the game, you will collect 4 of them. This kind of configuration is almost the highest limit of the combination of force of all forces.
And after having such a luxury group, you can choose to use this as a base to completely sweep away Yuan Shao;You can also choose to go and merge with the state to fight Chang'an and retreat to Xinye, and then occupy the four counties of Xinye, Jingzhou and Jingxiang.
The advantage of such a fight is naturally because these cities are vast and sparsely populated, and they may not be occupied by others by 190 yearsMoreover, Jingzhou has Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, and Changsha has Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. They are all first-class military generals and civil officials under Liu Bei.
Based on this, whether it is to fight Sichuan like history in the future, or to directly kill Cao Cao and Sun Ce on the side, it is all in your mind.
Therefore, you can say that this power is easy to use.
Secondly, let's talk about the second easy-to-use force, and it is also the force that recruits the most generals - Cao Cao and Cao Mengde.
Unlike Liu Bei, who needs to run around like history, what Cao Cao has to do is to defend his two base cities. Because although there are many initial generals, the most powerful ones under Cao Cao are only the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and these two are just the pinnacle of second-rate generals.
But for Cao Cao, the two states, as the base camp, are the foundation of whether he can succeed.
As you can see, the military generals produced in these two cities are not only large in number and early, but also well-known and main forces of Wei in the Three Kingdoms.
For example, the super-first-class generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu who can wrestle with the top 5 people, such as Zhang Liao and Xu Huang of Guan Yu's weakened version, and Sima Yi, Guo Jia and Xun Yu who are intellectually responsible.
If there are these generals, Cao Cao is a super force that can be called on a par with Liu Bei, and if there are no these generals, then Cao Cao is nothing more than that.
So if you play Cao Cao, then you must take the route of steady and steady, with the generals of the two cities, then at the latest 3 or 4 years, the number of famous generals available in Cao Cao's hands is definitely the largest. Coupled with the defection of military generals in the later period, Cao Cao was able to become the largest force in the Three Kingdoms as in history.
Hold the two main cities, and then whether it is to fight Yuan Shao upwards, or to fight Dong Zhuo on the side to take Luoyang, or to occupy the four counties of Jingxiang first like Liu Bei. As long as there are many people in his hands, Cao Cao will naturally fight casually.
Third, it is the strongest in the initial and well-developed Soochow - Sun Ce's forces.
Unlike Liu Bei, who had to move around, and Cao Cao, who had to keep his family business, Sun Ce's style of play could be said to be somewhere in between.
The characteristic of this force is that it occupies the most cities at the beginning, so it has 4 points of action. But in terms of the quality of military generals, except for the monarch Sun Ce and Tai Shici, Eastern Wu was not as good as Liu Bei's power;In terms of the follow-up generals, the four cities of Eastern Wu are not as good as Cao Cao's forces
Even if Zhou Yu came later, the overall hard power of Dongwu was not as good as Liu Bei and Cao Cao. But their biggest feature is that the initial level of generals is okay, and there are very few pure fools or pure wastes, all of which belong to the level between second-rate generals and third-rate generals.
Once Zhou Yu appears on the stage, then the Eastern Wu forces will also be able to fight back and forth with Cao Cao's forces.
For the Soochow forces, it is a basic requirement to defend their four cities first. After all, most of the well-known generals in Eastern Wu, such as Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning, Lu Meng, etc., are still the generals who appeared in the initial four cities.
Then, because there was only one close enemy of Cao Cao in the geographical location of Eastern Wu, and in the past few years, it was difficult for Cao Cao to hold back a group of famous people to confront Eastern Wu in the future. Therefore, the development of the four counties of Jingxiang next to it has also become one of the necessary tactics in the early stage of Eastern Wu.
Gan Ning + Wei Yan + Huang Zhong;Then Zhuge Liang + Zhou Yu, this kind of lineup is matched, which is also a prerequisite for the victory of Soochow in the later period.
Fourth, Yuan Shao's forces seem to be quite powerful, but they are actually not easy to use.
Starting from Yuan Shao's forces, the difficulty of playing with the following forces began to rise sharply.
The advantage of Yuan Shao's forces is that there are many initial cities, there are also vacancies around, and there are also big cities like Jizhou.
But there are more shortcomings, such as Yuan Shao's morality, which is only 50 points;There are some military generals who are okay with it, such as Tian Feng, Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gaolan, etc. However, the original strategists were weakened, and Yan Liangwen was not as powerful as in history, which made Yuan Shao's forces much weaker than those of Wei, Shu and Wu.
Of course, if you really play it, Yuan Shao's forces are not impossible to play. After all, the largest number of generals in the early stage was his family.
Whether it was holding down Liu Bei with the advantage of numbers, or coming up to gather troops to attack Cao Cao. Most of the time they can still win. As long as Liu Bei can be eliminated or Cao Cao's city can be defeated, then Yuan Shao can immediately occupy the magpie's nest and pocket the follow-up generals of these two forces with a backhand.
If this can be done, then Yuan Shao's forces, even if the problem of lack of follow-up morality always exists, still have a chance to unify the world.
But if this cannot be done in the early stage and let the two major forces develop, then the problem of Yuan Shao's forces not being able to do it in the later period will be exposed.
Fifth, Ma Teng's forces, the land is desolate, there are fierce generals but no military divisions.
At first glance, Ma Teng's power seems to be okay.
Ma Teng's own strength is no worse than Liu Bei, and his virtue of 84 is also quite high. The city guards a corner, and there are only Dong Zhuo and Liu Zhang around. It seems to be quite easy to get out of the way.
But as soon as you actually play, you will find the weakness of Ma Teng's power.
That is, they are too poor, and there are really no high-intelligence military advisors.
Ma Teng's forces have two characteristics, one is that the city where it is located is the poorest and least developed of all the cities, which is poorer than the three cities of Ma Teng, and there is only a small pavilion like Xi'anyang.
The second characteristic is that Ma Teng is the only force that does not even have an intelligence of 90 generals.
Looking at the initial group of people, except for Han Sui's intelligence of 81, no one else even passed 60.
Even if some generals are gradually added in the follow-up, there are no military division-level figures, and in the three cities, it will not even be until 210 years later that such a wise general as Jiang Wei will appear.
But when Jiang Wei comes out, the world is about to be unified. And what about the Ma Teng forces?
So, although there is the only remaining Ma Chao among the strongest five generals, as well as a group of deputy generals such as Ma Dai. However, it is still very difficult for Ma Teng's forces to develop.
But fortunately, Ma Teng's virtue is really good, so he really held back to play defense, and it was not completely without a chance.
Sixth, Liu Zhang's forces, although there are many cities and they are also very wealthy, but the lack of fame will be fatal.
Liu Zhang has 4 cities, 11 initial generals, the city has a good degree of development, and there are no strong enemies around, why can he only rank second-to-last?
The reason is the opposite of Ma Teng's forces, Ma Teng does not have a good military advisor, and the biggest problem of Liu Zhang's forces is that there are no good generals.
As Liu Zhang's number one general, Zhang Ren is at most a second-rate middle and lower level of double 90.
There are at least 10 generals who can defeat him, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and there are also six or seven in Eastern Wu who can crush him. Even Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng have the same famous generals who can complete Zhang Ren.
This led to the fact that Liu Zhang's forces had a quantitative advantage, but no qualitative advantage.
And the later he goes, the weaker Liu Zhang's power becomes, because he doesn't have any successor generals. Even if there are a few military advisors with an intelligence of more than 90, they can't even throw out a single burst of flames, and they still belong to the group that is being hung and beaten on the battlefield.
Not to mention anything else, players who can play Liu Zhang's rapid unification of the world can already be stamped and proven to be a senior powerhouse in the game.
Seventh, Dong Zhuo's power, the city is good, the generals are strong, and the military division is also **, that is, 11 points of virtue, everything can be buried.
Finally, it finally came to our Dong Zhuo Dong Taishi forces.
How can you describe this force?If you put it in one sentence, it is low morality and ruins everything.
There is a military general like Lu Bu who is the best in the world, but because a reward can add 3 or 4 points of loyalty, it is a high probability that Lu Bu will be poached in the first month. There are no such generals.
Although there is Chang'an Luoyang, which has the largest initial construction population in the game, the ultra-low degree of domination makes it difficult to avoid it even if Jia Xu goes to build. The direct result was that 1 or 2 years later, these two cities were rioted by their own people, making them no different from Xi'anyang.
Then, although there are many generals, Dong Zhuo's location is the land of four wars, and the other six forces, only Eastern Wu can't hit it at the first time, and the remaining five can attack Dong Zhuo at the first time, so that the Taishi can't take care of one or the other, and can't expand externally.
In addition, even if the victory is won, the general will be poached by others as soon as possible because the reward is not timely, which is even worse.
So, is there a way to fight such a weak force?
The player invented a special way to play, that is, to quickly find Sun Qian by occupying Xuzhou in the early stage. Then after getting Sun Gan, he immediately asked Dong Zhuo to find someone to send him to death, and Sun Qian inherited the throne of the monarch.
Because Sun Gan's virtue is as high as 92, once the monarch is changed, many of the shortcomings just mentioned will become advantages.
With this style of play, then Dong Zhuo's forces are still savable.
But if you don't use this style of play, you can still use Dong Zhuo's power to unify the world, and there must be no problem with calling you powerful.
The above is the basic introduction to the seven major forces in the Overlord Continent, the difficulty analysis and the sharing of the playing style.
Of course, because the difficulty of the game itself is not too high, in the case of player leadership, even the most difficult Dong Zhuo, there must be someone who can clear the level. The difference should only lie in the speed of customs clearance, the level of uniformity, and the completion of construction.
And the refreshing feeling of using Wei Shu and Wu is not comparable to the conscientiousness of playing Ma Teng, Liu Zhang, and Dong Zhuo.
Giving different levels of joy and accomplishment to players may be the main reason why this game has been around for more than 30 years.
The last thing I want to say is that there is only one sentence, if the original mainland of the overlord is reproduced on the mobile phone, I will be the first to rush up and buy it!
