Although Glory's latest Romance of the Three Kingdoms with "role-playing" elements is Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13, and players can work in multiple professions in the 13th generation, Yun Youji still believes that the ten generations are the best RPG-style Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Before Yun Youji once complained, although the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" allows players to play in the wild, but the content that can be played by individuals is actually not much, many times the only value of the wild game is to cultivate personal ability, to prepare for the future of the marquis, and the ultimate goal of "Three Kingdoms 10" Although this is also the case, and after marriage, the wife will also urge players to make a career, but this generation of personal play is actually quite rich, even if you don't invest in what is the lord, there are many points that can be played when a person is in the wild.
The theme of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has always been to end the chaotic world and unify China, so even if there are some changes in the gameplay, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in previous dynasties is inseparable from the two points of internal affairs and military, one is to ensure logistics, the other is the means of conquest, and both are indispensable.
However, compared with the game's changes in domestic politics and military, Yun Youji, who prefers role-playing, is actually more concerned about the ten generations of wild play.
Complex and interesting mini-games
Like Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8, players do not necessarily have to choose the monarch at the beginning, and choose to be an ordinary warrior, or even a white body in the opposition, they can still enjoy the game. The fun of playing in the wild state of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" relies heavily on small games and a variety of events, and these two points "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" do very well.
The first is the event, in addition to the random event in the wild, this generation of players in the wild, can take on missions in the tavern.
With clear mission goals, you can also gain experience, money, and even treasures. Taverns don't all take on errands, and some include fun mini-games like tongue wars and heads-ups.
In the past, Yun Youji was only suspicious, but looking back at "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10", Yun Youji was convinced that when Guangrong designed the tongue battle for the game, he definitely referred to Zhuge Liang's tongue battle group Confucianism and the bridge section of scolding Wang Lang.
Because, the opponent of the game's tongue warfare teaching is Situ Wang Lang, who also has a dialogue asking the other party "how to cure the classics".
Compared with the simple and rough tongue warfare of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13", the tongue warfare mechanism of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" is more complicated. Players must not only consider the size of the number, but also consider whether the instructions used can form a combo attack on the chessboard in the lower right corner, and analyze the instructions that the computer may use in the next move from the color of the opponent's instructions, which are much more interesting than the rock scissors cloth such as "rebuttal" and "truth".
Of course, there are also many unbalanced skills in tongue warfare, if the player does not have the active skills of "provoking" and "angry scolding", even if the character intelligence is high, how good you are at this small game, you may also be killed by ai for a set of unreasonable combo moves, so it is essentially a numerical game, after mastering many tongue fighting skills, there is no need to fight wits and courage in the later stage, and direct scolding will be finished.
However, Yun Youji still thinks that the ten generations of tongue warfare is a very good design.
Not only is the war of words, but the heads-up of the ten generations is also doing very well.
The commands that can be used in the game are subdivided into six offensive commands, one evasion command, one defensive command, one escape command, and a martial arts system.
Players can set three commands in order in one turn, "sudden" instructions gram "chop" and "cut" instructions, "chop" instructions gram "cut" instructions, "cut" instructions can interrupt avoidance, "avoidance" can dodge martial arts and "sudden" and "chop" commands, and after dodging can also make the enemy dizzy for a turn. The "Defense" command can reduce the damage taken, and as long as the specific instructions are collected this turn, you can use specific martial arts, martial arts restrain offensive instructions, but can be evaded and dodged, and the order of attacks from different martial arts is not the same.
Although the core logic of the head-to-head is still scissors and stone cloth, it is speculated that the opponent's moves and reasonably assigned their own commands, so that the randomness of the heads-up is reduced a lot, and the fun of the game is greatly increased.
Like tongue wars, although heads-up also requires players to guess the instructions that the other party may use, but due to the existence of force values and martial arts, it is not easy for low-force characters to defeat players with high strength, and if you want to experience the fun of heads-up, you still have to go head-to-head with a martial artist with similar force.
Of course, when the gap between the player and the opponent's strength exceeds 30, then the player has the probability of starting a knife to cut it under the horse, which is a little time to save the time of brushing the victory.
NPCs and towns
With enough interesting mini-games to fill, the game environment must also change, after all, it is a generation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that emphasizes role-playing, and the sense of substitution of players still needs to be taken into account.
The Glory Productions team naturally understood this, so the developers added a large number of NPCs with different personalities to the game.
Although these NPCs in the game cannot become warriors to kill the enemy on the battlefield, these characters are closely related to the player's character growth and are very closely related.
For example, if you beat a drum and scold Cao, if the player wants to learn the "face scolding" in the tongue argument, he must find him, and he is very characteristic in the game.
As long as the player talks to him, he will definitely be stinked, even if the favorability increases, he will damage you, basically a Three Kingdoms big watering can, see who scolds whom, the mouth is so smelly, so only he can teach "face scolding".
There is also Cai Yan, this talented woman is very cold and not easy to get close to, but after having a good relationship with her, you can learn from her the skills related to internal affairs and (except for face scolding).
There are many such NPCs, such as Zuo Ci, Hua Tuo, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, etc., these important NPCs are very distinctive, and they are also related to the skills that players can learn.
In the past, Yun Youji played "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" only to see the characters in the game as a combination of values after another, but in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10", she felt what it meant to be "flying in front of a vivid face".
Not only NPCs, but also different towns have done differentiated treatment. Most of the cities around Jiangnan are surrounded by rivers and green grass; the yellow sand around the northwest towns is full of yellow sand and the land is desolate; the towns of Bashu are lush with trees and fertile fields. With the blessing of the glorious artist, this description, which only exists in the book, is presented in the game, and the player no longer goes from city A to city B, but really from Yecheng to Stable.
Moreover, the towns in different regions not only have different shapes, but also have different values according to the city values, and some cities have their own special facilities and can provide different services.
Special facilities stargazing pavilions can predict natural disasters and divine the life of military generals; large merchants can buy and sell goods; learning institutes can carry out five-dimensional exercises; and the organization of offices can strengthen the arms...
When the town reaches a certain stage of development, it will unlock special facilities, and some special facilities can only be built in specific cities. This also makes some cities have more strategic value in addition to providing money and food and troop dispatch points.
Domestic affairs and military
Although you prefer the gameplay when you are in the wild, but as mentioned at the beginning, this game will eventually be out of the game, even if you do not go out, after marriage, your wife will take the initiative to find someone to persuade you to become an official, the player's play in the wild is rich, the personal attributes promoted are still prepared for being an official, and the game cannot be like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13" to achieve the end as a non-military general.
After becoming a warrior or monarch, the burden on the player's shoulders is heavier, and he has to worry about the development and construction of the entire city, so the player comes to the familiar internal affairs.
This part of the content is not very different from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8". It is still that setting, depending on the identity of the player, the permissions to perform the operation are different.
Ordinary military generals can only suggest that Taishou can decide on matters in the city under his jurisdiction, so that the monarch can decide more diplomatic and military content, and deal with the people's opinions.
The player proposes as an ordinary warrior, after the proposal is passed, the player must complete the arranged tasks within the specified time, feedback to the superior after achieving the goal can obtain merit, according to the actual effect to decide how much merit to obtain, and according to the number of merits to determine the player's official rank, the number of troops that the player can lead and the number of lulu are also related to this.
The benefits that the player can achieve in internal affairs, in addition to being related to the five dimensions, are also related to whether there are skills of the internal affairs department, if the corresponding skills can achieve the effect of half the effort, otherwise if you want to quickly brush up the merits and promote the ranks, you may also have to pay for urban construction at your own expense.
After the urban infrastructure is done well, with enough funds, grain and grass troops, it is time to expand outward. Thus, the player comes to the eternal theme of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - war.
Unlike in the past, when only one city could be occupied, this generation of players can launch a large-scale "campaign" and attack all the cities in an area in one go.
For example, the Hebei area includes Xiangping, Beiping, Ji, Nanpi, Yi, Pingyuan, Beihai, Jinyang, Shangdang, if the player is strong enough, logistics supplies are enough to fight a protracted war, you can launch a campaign, while attacking the cities in this area.
Of course, the original mode of fighting one piece by one is still there, and the battle mode of the campaign is also different from ordinary battles, using a large map turn-based wargame mode, the leader of the legion and the general are uniformly displayed as a unit, and the player can better observe the deployment of the army in the entire area.
However, the launch of the campaign also requires the player's title, only people with the rank of general and above can launch the campaign, and ordinary monarchs can only fight one city and one city.
This kind of large battle will be faster to fight, but it will be more difficult than attacking a single city, and if there are multiple forces in an area, the player will have to face more than one dozen situations.
This reminds Yun Youji of the recently played "King of the Crusaders 3", in which a duke's collar is divided into multiple counts, and when the player's knighthood is high enough, there is a chance to take down a whole duke's collar in one go.
In addition to "battles", "battles" are more traditional battle chess battles that can only be fought in one city. Players attack a single city, encounter enemies or enemy cities in the wild, will open a separate battlefield, the leader and his generals will appear on the map, and are divided into a separate unit, the player can use the strategy is also very different from the "battle", overall, the difficulty of "battle" is much lower than the "battle".
Although the content of the "battle" part is not exactly the same as the previous game, such as the addition of cavalry infantry, infantry infantry, archery and cavalry restraint, and various special classes derived from these three classes, but the overall framework has not changed, after the introduction of so many issues of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" military content, compared to the previously mentioned single head, tongue war, campaign this part of the relatively large new mechanism, "battle" has become the least worth talking about.
end
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" is not so much a sequel to the Ninth Dynasty, Yun Youji feels that it is more like an upgraded and evolved version of the eight generations, the complexity of the game mechanism exceeds the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is not an exaggeration to say that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" is the closest generation to "Taikoku Lizhi 5" in addition to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13".
As before, Yun Youji still has difficulty in introducing the entire content of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" in just one two- or three-thousand-word article, ten generations of unique marriage systems, treasure acquisition, powerful version of the historical reality mode, wandering army gameplay, warrior bondage system, class type and restraint relationship, town building system, military general's hidden attributes, military technology system, wild triggerable events... These elements are not something that can be said in one article, each system is enough for Yun Youji to write an introduction of thousands of words, and every time she wants to expand the big talk, considering the length of the article, it can only be hurriedly concluded.
However, this series is not a game review, more is Yun Youji's personal review of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series, and due to the different gameplay, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" such a rich game, everyone's experience is also very different.
In Yun Youji's view, compared with the previous "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 10" works of the same type, the most eye-catching points of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are single-handed, tongue battles, NPC teachers, town differentiation, and unique campaign modes, and the others are either in the previous works or slightly changed on the basis of the previous works.
Therefore, in the end, Yunyou Ji's main text only mentioned the above points, and what changes in the specific content should be left to the players to feel for themselves, and according to these exquisite game screenshots shown in the article, Yunyou Ji privately thought that it should be able to attract many modern players to experience this work of more than ten years ago.
Well, the above is all the content of this issue, the next issue of Yunyou Ji will be introduced to everyone, by the majority of Chinese players as the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" series of the most classic "Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11", interested partners welcome to pay attention to the follow-up content update.
