Recently, the military cultural program "Military Base Camp" broadcast a special program of the "Return to the Empire" mobile game, and this program invited international relations expert Jin Canrong, former PLA Army Colonel Yang Xiaolin and the "Return to the Empire" game planner to participate together. The trio will explore ancient warfare and strategy gameplay in games around the "strategy" of war wisdom that Chinese promotes.
As one of the protagonists of this issue, "Return to Empire" is a full-freedom real-time strategy mobile game developed by Tianmei, which was officially launched on March 29. "Return to the Empire" focuses on SLG gameplay, and under the theme of strategic warfare, it also integrates the micro-manipulation and positioning of RTS games, which greatly improves the player's sense of participation and confrontation. At the same time, the game also uses the 3D engine and PBR extreme rendering technology to create a real battlefield with different strategic terrain, further broadening the player's tactical ceiling. All this also laid the foundation for the application of the "utilization strategy" discussed in the program.
In the program, teacher Jin Canrong pointed out that "making full use of strategy" is the most significant feature of Chinese war wisdom, and flexible application of strategy can achieve the effect of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak. Teacher Yang Xiaolin also confirmed this view again through the classic battle of "Gao Xianzhi Outwits xiao Bolu".
So, how do real-life battles replicate in the game? "Return to The Empire" gives the answer with its own technical power. With realistic in-game graphics and a variety of tactical terrain, players can recreate the strategies of famous ancient battles. For example, with the help of lakes and rivers, lofty mountains and mountains to slow down the march route of the place, or with the help of the woods to hide the army, and then take advantage of the situation to sneak attack and so on. Coupled with flexible and comprehensive free marching, players can experience the full experience of "utilization strategy".
In addition to tactical theory, Teacher Jin Canrong also discussed many details of ancient siege warfare and siege equipment. Teacher Yang Xiaolin believes that the "trebuchet" is the most effective ancient siege "big killer". Trebuchets have powerful destructive power and can produce absolute psychological deterrence against defenders.
In fact, the content of the discussion between the two teachers is also specifically presented in "Return to the Empire". The game team takes the historical materials as a reference, synthesizes the information of the Warring States, song dynasty and other periods, and restores the siege battle and catapult in the game. Players can carry out siege warfare around the "four gates" city pool, the siege party can use large equipment to attack the city gate, and the defender can rely on buildings such as arrow towers for defense. Once the city is broken, the two sides will enter a more strategic street battle or a central city battle.
Throughout the game "Return to The Empire", "live strategy" has always been the core idea of implementing the gameplay, which has expanded the tactical breadth of the game, and also made the flexible use of strategy the key to winning or losing in "Return to the Empire", and allowing all players to enjoy the fun of fully free real-time strategy games. As discussed in this special episode of "Military Base Camp", the use of strategy is the idea of war engraved in the bones of Chinese, and the game that can realize this idea will naturally be welcomed by everyone.
