In this article, let's talk about chemical technology.
Chemical technology includes two branches of technology, namely "forging", "smelting", "weapon refining" and "defense refining" of the armor series and "saltpeter", "fierce fire oil", "gunpowder" and "chemistry" of the fire series.
Of course, they have a common pre-technology "public education", which we have already introduced in the previous article, and will not be repeated in this article.
Armor technology
Level 2 Technology "Forging" Effect: Can build a Level 2 Smelter.
Level 3 Technology "Smelting" Effect: Can build a Level 3 Smelter.
This has been talked about before, and the effect is that the output of the Level 2 smelter is increased by 20% compared to the Level 1, and the output of the Level 3 smelter is increased by 50%.
Level 5 Tech "Weapon Refinement" Effect: Guns, halberds, crossbows, and mounted attacks +10%.
Level 5 Technology "Defense Refinement" Effect: Guns, halberds, crossbows, and mounts gain +10% defense.
When introducing these main battle arms technology earlier, careful friends may find that the attack and defense bonuses of the previous fourth-level technology "Elite X Soldiers" are gone. In fact, in this work,It's specially taken out and integrated here.。
However, it should be noted that the actual effect is not "Attack/Defense +10" as in the technology introduction, but "increases the Attack and Defense Factor by 0.1 (i.e. 10%)".
For example, comparing the positions in the upper right corner of the two pictures above, with technology, the attack power has changed from 109 to 119, which is exactly 10 points. However, the defense has been changed from 98 to 196, an increase of only 8 points. As we all know, cavalry is a class with a high attack coefficient and a low defense coefficient.
Compared to these two technologies, the "Weapon Refinement" technology, which is generally sure to increase attack power, has a higher priority.
Fire Technology
Level 2 "Saltpeter" effect: Fire meter radius +2 blocks.
The range of the fire gauge is only one bar at the beginning, and the operability is very poor.
However, after upgrading the "saltpeter" technology, it has become 3 blocks, the coverage area has been greatly increased, and the actual effect is much higher.
Of course, in reality, the effect is still not good. Because the practicability of the fire meter itself is relatively low.
In my opinion, there are two main functions, one is to light the fireballs and tinder that the enemy has made and have not yet taken care of the light, so as to save the enemy from burning himself. This is the most valuable part of this three-bar range fire meter. However, if you have the Arbalest technology, the Crossbowman is up to the task, too.
The other is to light the fireballs and tinder that I have made myself. Needless to say, fireballs actually make no difference between 1 and 3 blocks. The most useful thing is to light the fire, so that the troops who set the fire can be in a relatively safe position.
As for burning the city like the fire plan in the original, forget it, it's not the icing on the cake.
Level 4 Tech "Fire Oil" Effect: Base Fire damage increased.
This is the fireball damage of 324 without the "Flame Oil" technology.
This is the fireball damage of 470 with the "Fierce Fire Oil" technology.
The damage has been significantly increased, and the damage can be increased by 45% with a simple calculation. However, it doesn't make much sense to know that this damage increase ratio is very meaningful, because the fire damage is very complicated to calculate in this game, and there are base damage, additional damage, floating damage, dominance falloff, and so on. So, just know that the damage has increased.
However, the initial fireball damage is still not enough to see.
If the opponent has 1W+ troops per capita, how long do you have to burn it? I'm afraid that the enemy will not give you this opportunity at all.
Level 5 Tech "Gunpowder" Effect: Can use traps [Flame Seed, Flame Ball].
[Flame Seed, Fire Ball] is an upgraded version of [Fire Seed, Fire Ball] with a larger damage range and damage ability.
For example, [Fireball] can roll a 5-block radius, while [Fireball] only has 3 blocks. The damage has also been slightly increased, but it doesn't mean much.
The explosion range of [Flame Seed] has been changed from 1 square of [Tinder] to 2 squares, and the damage is the same as that of [Flame Ball], and the difference is nothing more than a floating value.
However, playing with fire, in fact, the main thing to play is to play [Tinder], [Fireball] only has a good effect in some special places. In addition to dealing damage, [Tinder] has a larger range of damage, which can cause a wide range of fire areas, which can effectively block the advance of enemy troops, and is an excellent choice to block enemy attacks in open areas.
Level 6 Tech "Chemical" Effect: Traps can be used [Karma Tinder, Karma Fireball].
[Karma Flame, Karma Fireball] can further increase the damage of the fire trap, and has significantly higher damage than [Flame Seed, Flame Ball].
Of course, this damage is still about half the same as the original.
However, [Karma Tinder] has a 50% chance of being stunned, which can more effectively block enemy attacks. For that alone, the effect is still very explosive.
It's just that it's a bit too late to come up with a sixth-level "chemistry" technology. When it comes to this period, it basically means that the game has been broken.
epilogue
This is the end of the tech series. There are still some unfinished areas in it, and I will write a few more articles to introduce them later.
Although the reading volume is not very high, there is not a single comment, which is strange.
I am hanging on the hook for a hundred years, thank you for your support.
