Many players have always believed that the plot of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that we played was taken from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". After all, there are many classic battles in it, such as: the Battle of Bowangpo, the Burning of Xinye, the Flooded White River, the Battle of Nagasakapo, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Huarong Road.
However, what is surprising is that the plot is from Hiroshi Hongomiya's manga "Heaven and Earth Devouring". Of course, this comic has cited a lot of the plot of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" during the creation process, so we will naturally make up these plots when we play games.
The name we saw in the game hall was "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the name we saw on the simulator many years later was "Devouring Heaven and Earth II". It was also a long time before I learned that it was divided into asian, Japanese and world versions (American versions).
The influence of Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Asia is very far-reaching, so the game directly uses Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The Japanese version of Devouring Heaven and Earth uses the name of the manga. The Japanese version and the Asian version of the plot are basically no different.
The World Edition (US Version) is a completely different plot. The title was changed to Warriors of Fate, and the literal translation was "Warriors of Destiny.". The characters who appeared in it were all replaced with Mongolian backgrounds. After all, this is the plot they are familiar with!
How spectacular the Mongol Iron Horse swept across Europe.
World Edition:
To tell the truth, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is an irreplaceable classic in the eyes of the Chinese people, the game is very local, and the sense of substitution is very strong. But it is far less popular abroad than "The Punisher", "Kombat Whirlwind", and "Dinosaur Kombat".
The status of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the minds of foreign players is equivalent to "Storm of Violence" in our eyes, and it is very popular but not the top.
The game completely abandons the original plot and references the story and characters of Mongolia.
The five protagonists we chose were:
Guan Yu: Batu Sain Khan, grandson of Genghis Khan.
Zhang Fei: Hassel, brother of Genghis Khan
Zhao Yun: Su Butai was one of the four pioneers under Genghis Khan.
Huang Zhong: Kadan Khan, the son of Wokoutai
Wei Yan: Grandson of Tuolei and great-grandson of Genghis Khan
It's all bloodthirsty! How many territories have been touched and how many innocent people have been killed.
So, what is the plot of the game?
Attila Khan (Cao Cao) was the ruler of the Shangluo kingdom, and in the eyes of the world, he was a dark emperor who killed people like hemp and was extremely evil. Under his rule, the entire empire was in a miasma and plundered the land all year round.
(The historical Attila was the leader and emperor of the Huns in ancient Eurasia, which europeans called "The Whip of God".)
For many years, the army of Attila Khan has been invincible, no one has ever dared to resist, and basically all other countries have become vassals, subservient to them to keep their lives. Only the leader of the neighboring countries, Emperor Guan (Liu Bei), dismissed him and repeatedly blocked Attila's army!
One day, Attila Khan planned to attack his neighboring country (Liu Bei's side) and take down this fertile land. But attila Khan did not know that behind the righteous Emperor Guan (Liu Bei) there were five powerful warriors, who were invincible, invincible, and invincible.
With the help of these five warriors, Emperor Guan embarked on an indomitable legendary journey.
This picture of merging the two is unique to the World Edition:
The enemy soldiers encountered in the game are all from history.
Their names are either historical figures, mythological figures, or place names that the Mongols once invaded.
Next, let's take a look at what bosses are doing!
GAIDU (Gaidu)
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was Li Dian, the first to send a head in the Battle of Bowangpo.
In the world version, it is called Gaidu, and this name is famous. He and Subutai were both generals of Genghis Khan, known as "ten thousand enemies" in the battlefield, which can be said to be able to fight good battles, always exert extremely strong combat effectiveness on the battlefield, and even become the key figures in reversing the war situation many times.
Later, he became a loyal protector of Genghis Khan and played a great role in the major battles launched by Genghis Khan.
But I didn't expect to put such an important person first, and I couldn't even ride a horse.
LHAZE (Lazi)
I have consulted a lot of information, but I have not found the origin of this character, it is likely to be a place name!
TARANIS (Taranis)
This boss has a relatively long history, and is one of the gods of ancient Roman Celtic mythology, the god of thunder.
That's right, you haven't seen it. The Xu Chu in our eyes has become a god in the world version. No wonder it's so beaten!
Sure enough, anyone with a hammer can be a god of thunder!
IZIA、AHIKA、SAN-JIN
Neither the "Devouring Heaven and Earth" manga nor the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" related novels has ever appeared in the existence of Sanmei.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the chance of women appearing is relatively small, almost all of them are short-lived, except for The Big qiao, Zhu Rong, Wu Guotai, Zhen Mi, Minced Cicada, Cai Yan, Zhen Mi, Lady Fan, Bu Trainer, Sun Shangxiang and Lady Mi have some scenes, the other women are passers-by!
By the way, there was also Zhang Xiu's widowed sister-in-law Lady Zou, who made Cao Cao suffer a small loss in Wancheng.
Three handmaidens appear in the manga, but they seem to be far from the image of Mimi.
曹操：Slay kuan-ti，bring me proof of his destructionz
(Literal translation: Kill Emperor Guan (Liu Bei), and then bring me the evidence after his destruction)
So what is the origin of Sanmei? According to the official introduction is:
IZIA（美美）The leader of Akkila Orkhan's female assassins.
ARIKA（美伢）One of the female assassins of Akkila-Orkhan.
SAN JIN（美玲）One of the female assassins of Akkila-Orkhan.
Translated, Mei Mei is the female killer leader trained by Attila Khan, and Mei Ling and Mei Ling are the female assassins under Mei Mei.
No wonder, if you kill Meimei in the end, you will get thousands of higher pass points, it turns out that she is the leader!
Below, the female killer assassin leader Meimei: Guan Di, you stop me, you can't go!
美伢：By order of lord Akkila-Orkhan,we are sworn to kill you!
On the orders of Attila Khan (Cao Cao), we swore to kill you.
Mei Ling: Prepare yourself!
Get ready to die!
After completing the Japanese version, Sanmei will also appear to celebrate!
ATIKA (Cao Ren's name)
This name can not be queried, it should also be the name of a famous battle!
BAIDU (Baidu)
What the? Baidu? oh! It should be: Baidu
There is such a figure in history, he is the cousin of Haihedu, the sixth monarch of the Ilkhanate. (After the overthrow of the Haihe by the pro-Muslim Mongol nobility, Baidu was forced to ascend to the Khan's throne.) ）
Baidu eventually died in a civil war with Ghazan Khan.
In addition, the name Chun Gan Dao in the Asian version, including pinyin is also chun gan dao, should be written wrong.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there is really a character named Chun Yudao, who is Cao Ren's subordinate, the combat effectiveness is quite good, he caught Mi Zhu in the Changsaka slope, and as a result, he was robbed by Zhao Yun halfway and beheaded on the spot. Chun Yu's plot coincides with the plot in the game.
Look at who the celebrities of Changshanpo are, Xiahou En specially sent Zhao Yun the Qingyi Sword, Xiahou Jie was scared by Zhang Fei and spat out bile, and Yan Ming was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun in two rounds... The result is that they all become the bosses of this level. Therefore, the appearance of Chun YuDao is completely reasonable!
Six-level BOSS: JERREK, DASADAS
Two more unnamed characters, presumably two unknown places!
Why are Yan Ming and Xiahou Jie, the two scum of the war, so famous, in fact, they are still too weak to have a bottom line.
KUBLAI-DAKAN (Kublai Khan)
Didn't expect it! The Seven Levels BOSS is actually the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty who destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and Dali.
The characters of his level are only the seven-level BOSS, so who appears in the back level to suppress the scene?
KAI'BATAAR
BATAAR means Warrior, Kai Warrior is his name, which seems to be a random character name!
TEMUJIN-KHAN (Genghis Khan)
It is strange that the five protagonists are related to Genghis Khan, and even have direct blood, why do they have to face him in the end!
How exactly is this plot set up? Or is it that Temujin is controlled by the evil overlord?
Akkila-Orkhan (Evil Overlord: Attila Khan)
The world version of the plot is much less, not only cutscenes, but even in the final armageddon can not choose to kill and release.
For our generation, games are not just technical things, but have become a special symbol of the times, integrating our emotional memories and precipitating the changes of the times.
The demolition and repair of the old streets in that year, the things are not human, only the game, is still as wonderful as it was then, every frame of the picture, every character, has not faded with the changes of the times, on the contrary, more and more distinct.
