When the screen goes black after the H2 > reading bar ends, and the screen lights up again, the first thing that catches your eye is the sky that seems to be burning.

At this point, the time in the game seems to be evening, and the sky at dusk is filled with shattered clouds of fire. As the camera quickly zoomed down, you were greeted by the barren land next to the forest and the barracks, which were still very rudimentary.

There were not many soldiers in this barracks, only a row of lightly armored swordsmen neatly arranged outside the quaint tent painted with dragon patterns. Some laborers in coarse cloth clothes are scattered in all corners of the camp, and they look "confused" and know that these people have nothing to do now.

"Let's start building."

Quickly dispatch laborers next to the headquarters to begin construction of "stables" and "arrow towers". Sending a handful of infantry to explore the way, Zhao Nuo began to quickly review the features of this RTS (real-time strategy) game while developing his military strength:

First of all, in this game, troops can be formed into various formations:

Once the player has reached a certain number of soldiers, they can choose to form them into the most basic infantry phalanx, or any other formation. Only soldiers of the same type can use the formation system, of course, it is also possible to operate separately, but if you are a novice player, it is generally convenient to form a formation of soldiers to operate in a unified manner.

Second, there are also "hero characters" in this game.

In the game, in addition to ordinary soldier units, players can also recruit heroes from their own faction through guò "war", which are much higher than ordinary units in terms of attack and defense, and blood volume.

However, there is also a "phase" between these heroes, and letting two heroes with "blood feuds" fight side by side will greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, and may even turn against each other.

The next thing to note is about the setting of "Fog of War":

Since it is an ancient war, the map of this game also has its own fog of war, and there will be no situation where you can see it at a glance from beginning to end after exploring the road once. And if it's terrain like a forest, it can also be used to hide soldiers.

Soldiers hiding in the woods will not be able to attack them even if they use ranged attacks, and in order to find the enemy in the woods, they must build "lookouts" nearby to break them out of disguise, or set fire to them or use siege weapons to destroy the woodland.

Finally, the class restraint in this game is also obvious:

In the battle of Tyrant Archon, more people are not always better, and it is important to consider that the classes are fighting each other. For example, even if a hundred light infantry is sent, it is no match for ten heavy cavalry. But in the face of a terrifying phalanx of spears, the heavy cavalry would also suffer heavy casualties.

Although he was revisiting the characteristics of this game, the operation in his hand was not ambiguous at all, and Zhao Nuo's original humble military camp soon erected several buildings, and the types of soldiers began to increase rapidly.

The "Eastern Visitor" faction is actually much more complicated than the introduction in the faction selection menu. In addition to the troops of the ancient Central Plains and the Xiongnu, other more famous Asian troops also appeared in this camp.

It's no wonder that some people say that the biggest attraction in this game is the Asia-Europe showdown, where the Cossacks and American Indians are all playing soy sauce, because the battle between the "European Rangers" and the "Eastern Visitors" is the most eye-catching.

Now there are dozens of brown horses next to the stables, as well as nomadic warriors riding on horses, holding short scimitars and carrying bows and arrows behind their backs, needless to say that they are the light cavalry of the Huns.

For Zhao Nuo, who doesn't like the simple and crude "heavy cavalry concussion charge" tactics, light cavalry is undoubtedly the best choice.

These nomadic warriors, who grew up on horseback, sacrificed their armor for flexibility, but they were also very flexible in their fighting style - when they were not close to the enemy, the light cavalry could shoot with guò bows and arrows, and when they were close, they could draw their swords in close combat.

Although cavalry continued to be produced in the stables, Zhao Nuo knew very well that the main force of the war this time was not these skilled riders. But......

He looked at the "Bow Barracks" with a dark blue banner on the right side of the map, and a "sinister" smile appeared on his face.

The map for this engagement is the "Tesque Basin", which has complex terrain and many ambush locations, as well as many forests and secret passages for crossbowmen to hide.

Since it was this map, Zhao Nuo felt that there was no need to think about any tactics anymore.

——————————————

If the camp of the "Eastern Visitor" in the game is developing rapidly, then the camp of the "European Rangers" is always shrouded in an atmosphere of disharmony.

"Oooo

I saw a giant man who was more than two meters tall and had a shirtless beard wielding a battle axe that was bigger than a normal person in his hand. The light infantry armed with swords and shields next to them stepped back one after another, and the only one who was not afraid of this guy was the one who had just stepped into the barracks:

"Get out of the way, disgusting Germanic."

The young man who spoke had long flowing light gray hair, and his handsome face looked more like a nobleman than a warrior, but his scarred iron gray light armor and leather leggings, as well as the two Roman daggers stained red by blood on his back, revealed his identity:

"Carthaginian wretch, if you die, I will insult your corpse!" The Germanic axe man next to him roared arrogantly.

If it was in the gladiatorial arena, the young man would have drawn his weapon and fought the barbarian to the death, but now that both of them belong to the same army, the Germanic man should also be a hero recruited by the general. So I can only endure it for the time being.

Spat at the Germanic man's feet, the young man walked straight to the makeshift command post made of animal skins in front of him, intending to meet the general he had recruited.

His name was Garnier, and he was originally just a Carthaginian soldier who was captured by the Romans and thrown into the gladiatorial arena to become a gladiator with two swords.

He couldn't remember how many fellow slave gladiators he had killed in that huge, bloody open-air cage before he finally earned himself the glorious title of "King of Gladiators" and the long-lost freedom. But Garnier knew very well that he was no longer interested in anything other than killing.

So this time, when the general of the European Expeditionary Force called himself, the murderous gladiator champion immediately rushed to the barracks in the Tesco Basin without saying a word, ready to start a new killing.

When the curtain of the Persian-style tent is lifted, you are greeted by heavy infantry in silver armor and heavy helmets, with their hands on the hilt of their swords, and two young women in black light armor sitting behind a long table.

Although it was rare for a maid to wear armor, Garnier looked around and asked, "Where is the general?" ”

"We are the generals." The two girls said.

"Huh?" Garnier didn't hear it for a moment.

"The two of us are generals, and this time you will serve us." One of the women stood up, drew the short knife hanging from her waist and swung it down, and with a thud, the knife was stuck on the wooden table in the tent.

"I've never worked for a woman."

Just by listening to the tone, you can judge that Garnier is still a little unconvinced by the words of the woman in front of him.

"It doesn't matter why people work, you just want to kill people, right?" The girl in black armor glanced at the gladiator champion flirtatiously, and then raised her voice abruptly:

"Those vulgar Orientals, dare to stand in front of us, let them see the strength of our elite army this time! Kill them all! Let their blood soak every inch of the soil of the Tesco Basin! ”

"Kill them all!" The heavy infantry next to him roared and drew their swords, and the air was suddenly filled with a breathless sense of terrifying oppression.

Seeing this scene, Garnier's originally expressionless face also flashed an imperceptible smile:

"I see."

He nodded and turned to leave, the twin swords behind his back flashing with a strange blood light.

RTS games feel so hard to write, and I think it's kind of a Chinese New Year...... Right? So the recent update is a little slow, and please be considerate ~R1152
