"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14" was just released at the beginning of this year, as a long-term play strategy game, many players are probably still busy "Kuang Fu Han Room", not happy. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series of games produced by Glory Company, there are many strange cold knowledge and allusions, which even the old players of the series may not all know. Next, I will pick a few more interesting talks, new players may wish to take the opportunity to open their eyes, and old players can also check and fill in the gaps along the way.
<h3>First, the indissoluble relationship between Song Xian and Fang Tian's painting</h3>
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11" is a generation classic, which can be called one of the most popular games in the past in China. There is often a strange event in the course of this game that puzzles players - that is, Lü Bu will always reward his weapon Fang Tianhua to his subordinate Song Xian.
How can you Song Xian he de, by what?
There are indeed many curious netizens
Although treasure rewards are not uncommon in the game, for example, Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army often rewards Zhang Bao or Zhang Liang with the Taiping Technique, and Sun Jian often gives sun ce or Sun Quan the Art of War. However, these things are easier to understand, after all, they were given to relatives or heirs in his own career, but Lü Bu's gift of Fang Tian's painting to Song Xian was really confusing.
In my opinion, this is likely to be an Easter egg buried with glory.
Why? This has to start with a mistake in the early days of Glory - because Glory is a Japanese game production company, after all, the understanding of Chinese history is somewhat limited, so some military generals whose names are similar in Japanese pronunciation are often confused by the production staff - for example, in the 1994 production of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4", Glory once regarded Kong Xiu, the Dongling Guanshou general whom Guan Gong encountered when he was riding alone, as Kong Ling in the Eighteen-Way Alliance, thus mistakenly making Kong Xiu one of the princes of the "Anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance" script.
Song Xian was also mistaken for the same character as the Eastern Wu general Song Qian because of his name, and until the GBA remake of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms" produced in 2001, Guangrong did not know that they had made things wrong.
Well......
Coincidentally, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Song Xian threw the Fang Tian Painting Blade down to the city after Lü Bu was captured, and the Eastern Wu general Song Qian just used a Fang Tian Painting Blade! The early glory was probably due to this small coincidence, thinking that Lü Bu's Fang Tian painting was henceforth owned by Song Xian.
Glory must have known later that he was wrong. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11", the reason why Lü Bu always rewarded Song Xian with the Fang Tian painting was probably a small mistake in commemorating the past.
<h3>Second, Hou Cheng, who has a "good name"</h3>
Hou Cheng was quite inconspicuous among the warriors of the Three Kingdoms period. Because there are very few records of Hou Cheng in the Zhengshi and romance of the Three Kingdoms, in the general impression, Hou Cheng is also "one of the dragon trio mixed with Wei Xu and Song Xian".
In the newly launched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14", Hou Cheng's strength is quite unexpected, the two positive and non-negative characteristics are second only to Zhang Liao, Chen Gong, Gao Shun and Sable Cicada among Lü Bujun's subordinates, and the number of tactics, the number of formations, and the ability values such as intelligence, politics, and charm are obviously stronger than those of Hou Cheng's old brothers Wei Xu and Song Xian, who have similar experience.
People are more angry than people
Of course, looking at the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series, you will find that Hou Cheng's treatment has always been good. In the GBA version of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms", the heads of Wei Xu and Song Xian are all villains, except for Hou, who has grown up with thick eyebrows, big eyes, heroic, and a face of the protagonist.
It's pretty righteous...
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4" and its various transplanted versions, Hou Cheng not only appeared until the era of the Three Kingdoms, but also rose step by step, being set as the Taishou of Anding City; in the well-known "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11", some netizens have suggested that Hou Cheng is difficult to be confused and seems to have hidden intelligence bonuses.
In the game, Hou Cheng seems to be favored
Why is Hou Cheng so special, as an ordinary dragon set to get glorious has always been favored?
The answer is that it may be related to Hou Cheng's name. Hou Cheng's name is pronounced "コウセイ" in Japanese, which is pronounced "KOU SEI" in Roman. The first and last two letters of this writing form the glorious name "KOEI".
Guangrong has a preference for Hou Cheng, perhaps because of a "good name".
<h3>Third, the glory of super play</h3>
In order to meet the challenge needs of different gamers, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series generally sets 3 difficulties: normal, superior, and super. There are some hardcore players whose challenging requirements break through the sky, and the super difficulty can't meet their needs. Among these player groups who like "extreme challenges", the two most popular ways to play: one is "one city against the world", the player only owns one city, and then goes to fight against the big forces that rule almost all other cities; the other is "May Day Resident", the player plays the commander, force, intelligence, politics, charm are all 1 super weak warriors.
What many players don't know is that Glory has introduced these two gameplay methods in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" canon.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4: Enhanced Edition of Power" has an additional script of "Rape And Usurpation of the Han Throne, King's Landing in the World", in which all cities and their subordinate warlords belong to Cao Cao's forces, except for the three small cities of Xiliang, Xiangping, and Guiyang. At the same time, because the player in this script cannot play Cao Cao, he can only start with a new martial artist and choose one of them to fight against Cao Cao, who is sitting in the whole world.
The player's brain hole, glory himself has long been opened
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms 7, players can unlock some special warriors by entering a fixed preset name, including a special warrior with a stat of 1. Not only are the abilities so weak that they explode, but even the official character biographies read "Stupid." Is Heaven testing him? "Such a super over-the-top evaluation.
The road we thought of, it turned out that the official had already gone through...
<h3>4. Liu Adou password</h3>
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" throughout the ages, Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Han Dynasty, has always been one of the weakest warriors in the game. The difference is that in different works, the abilities of the weak such as Yang Song, Huang Hao, and Cen Di often change slightly, but Liu Chan's ability values are stable most of the time, maintaining the values of "Commander 3, Force 5, Intelligence 9, and Politics 4".
The reason why there is such a stable ability value is because the humble Liu Chan has always had the status of a mascot in the series. As a result, his ability points become an easter egg in the game – in Japanese, "three five nine four" is pronounced exactly as the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Similarly, from liu chan's charm value, it can be seen which work of the series this is: for example, Liu Chan's charm in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11" is 56, the reason is 5+6=11; the charm of Liu Chan in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14" is 68, also because 6+8=14.
"Happy here, don't think about Shu"
<h3>Fifth, Tao Mao, the king of Yan Art</h3>
Of course, the Japanese people are very fond of the Mikuni characters, otherwise the game would not have been out of the 14th generation. In addition to the classic images of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Zhuge Liang, there is an unknown soy sauce warrior who is quite popular in Japan, and he is the Eastern Wu warlord Tao Mao in the late Three Kingdoms period.
Tao Mao's unexpected popularity stems from his thick and demonic head in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10.
That's it......
Because Tao Mao's yan art is too popular with Japanese players, Glory even launched related memes
Not only that, but at the official event of Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13: Power Enhanced Edition, Glory organized a fan vote to select two of the classic avatars of the past that most want to be reproduced to join the fourth free DLC. The Japanese players selected in this vote are amazingly skilled, and Tao Mao of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" version squeezed out the popular martial generals such as Guan Erye, Boss Cao, Zhuge Wuhou and Lü Bu, and successfully promoted to the replica general in the limited-time DLC with Zhao Yun in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11" version...
This is ultimately the effect
<h3>Sixth, the fierce brother's favoritism over the other</h3>
Hua Xiong, Yan Liang and Wen Ugly are representatives of the second-line fierce generals in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series. Although these 3 have no record in history, they are brave and fierce in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which sets off the wise divine martial arts of the second master, so in most of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" games, there can be more than 90 forces.
In the series before Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13, historical events generally default to following the trend of historical facts when they occur, and rarely give players the opportunity to choose. For example, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10", which can play as ordinary warriors, if you choose to operate Yan Liang and Wen Ugly in the script of "The Battle of Guandu", you will also trigger a head-to-head event with Guan Yu, and will be killed by default (the only difference is that the protagonist will not die in battle, but become seriously injured).
However, if the player chooses to operate Huaxiong in the script of the "Anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance", the Battle of Shuishuiguan will become an actionable single challenge. If the player is skilled, he can even complete the hidden plot of "Huaxiong Knocks Down Guan Yu".
This line is very Japanese friends...
And the proud Huaxiong responded like this...
And Lü Bu to mend the knife...
The reason why there is this favor of Huaxiong and favoring one over the other is also very simple - Huaxiong is very popular among Japanese players. For example, in the popularity vote of the official fierce general modeling of "True Three Kingdoms 6: Empire", Hua Xiong successfully won the championship and obtained a special modeling image.
Of course, the top 10 votes are also seven, seven, eight
After playing this, Huaxiong's peerless road is smoother. Lü Buchuan Zhonghuaxiong of "True Three Kingdoms 7" has added a large plot, and "Huaxiong's survival" has become one of the conditions for achieving a perfect ending. In "True Three Kingdoms Matchless 8", Hua Xiong officially became a peerless warrior in the supplementary DLC. In the face of this scene, Yan Liang and Wen Ugly could only cry silently on the side.
Hua Xiong: Sorry, but the popularity is really you can do whatever you want
<h3>Seventh, the invincible Grand Marshal of the world</h3>
As mentioned above, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 7, players can enter a fixed preset name to unlock some special warriors, including a warrior such as "Pig Eight Commandments".
Due to the merging of commander and force into the ability value of "battle" in this game, and the setting of the ability to exercise, the initial value of Lü Bu, which has the highest "battle" value in the game, is only 98 points, while the initial "battle" value of the Pig Eight Commandments is as high as 99 points.
Marshal of the canopy!
As a result, through the cross-world comparison of "Xian Xia Novel" and "Historical Novel", Pig Eight Commandments successfully achieved invincibility in the Three Kingdoms period (but there are still stronger hidden warriors, that is, The Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu, whose initial battle value is as high as 100).
<h3>You never understand my sorrow, like the darkness of the day and the night</h3>
Starting with Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4, each generation of works has a power enhancement version with the editing function of the warrior ability and city data, and the player can change the warrior ability to the value they see fit.
However, unlike the pure editing function in later works, in the original Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4: Power Enhanced Edition, when the player modified the martial arts ability value, the modified martial artist will talk to the player. Abilities change differently, and conversations will vary.
If you increase your ability points, the modified takeshi will be happy. If the ability value is lowered, the modified warrior will get angry and even start threatening the player. If you lower the strength of the fierce generals and improve their intelligence, the military generals will also feel strange; some military generals who do not smile will only tell you 3 words in a serious and long way: Don't change it blindly.
Everyone likes to listen to good words
But how can you put the player?
People don't talk much
<h3>epilogue</h3>
In addition to the above mentioned, there are some interesting little things about the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". For example, the spoof warrior named "Yakiniku Set"; the super powerful warrior who made the boss of the glory company Shibusawa Hikari (i.e., Yokoichi Shogawa) with a full ability of 90, and equipped with the stunts of business talents and rich people; the "villain" Wu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11" will enter the rumor to frame himself because of procedural errors; as a brother series, "True Three Kingdoms Matchless" even launched the "Sparrow Three Kingdoms Matchless" such a magical work with a huge brain hole in which the three kingdoms warriors gathered in a circle to play mahjong; and so on, due to space limitations, I will not elaborate on them here.
I'm not lying, there really is
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14" has been released for more than a month, is there such an interesting little detail in it? I think there should be, and we can slowly find out in the later play...
