12 Cooperation
After introducing each other and temporarily removing the hostility, 6 Bing invited him to his camp to take a break.
Qin Xiaobai picked up the big stick thrown on the ground, followed 6 Bing out of the jungle and walked into her camp. It's just not the same feeling to be in the jungle and in the camp. The foliage of the jungle blocks out the sunlight, making it damp and the view narrow and dim. And the camp is illuminated by the sun, dry and empty, with a wide view.
Only then did Qin Xiaobai see 6 Bing's appearance more clearly.
Her beauty is stunning, the Oriental appearance and well-proportioned figure, every inch of skin and every curve seem to be extremely beautiful, ruddy and moving, and the beauty is like nature. Wearing a short mocskin coat from the primitive era, most of her delicate curves are exposed to the transmission of light, which is crystal clear, and her beauty is expressed to the extreme.
Qin Xiaobai was a little moved, he was very surprised to meet such a beauty as a neighbor.
However, Qin Xiaobai smiled, beauties are beauties, but this doesn't mean anything at all, maybe they will become opponents in a few days.
All the barbarians who were working in the camp looked at Qin Xiaobai curiously. In Empire, there are three basic relationships: neutrality, alliance, and hostility.
In the novice map, all players are initially in a neutral relationship, and the NPCs of both tribes will not actively attack at this time. Once there is a war between two players, the tribes of both sides will immediately turn into hostile relations, and the NPCs of both sides will take the initiative to attack when encountered. If two players form an alliance, it will become an alliance, and the NPCs of both sides will get along amicably. In a neutral situation, the barbarian peasants would not take the initiative to attack Qin Xiaobai.
6 Bing invited Qin Xiaobai to sit in her camp, after all, they were on the same island, and if they didn't think of conflict, it was important to maintain friendly exchanges for the time being. As the owner, 6 Ice seems to be down-to-earth and generous.
Qin Xiaobai looked around the camp, as if he wanted to find out something. It's a pity that there is nothing to hide, there are too few farmers logging wood, and the girl in front of her seems to be planning to build a fence wall first, so it is still far from building a barbarian barracks.
Speaking of 6 ice's plans to build a fence, a small explanation is needed here.
During the closed beta of Empires, players who participated in the closed beta came up with four basic tactical ideas for the Stone Age.
The root cause of these four basic tactical ideas lies in the lack of wood. Due to the small number of Stone Age barbarian farmers and the slow pace of cutting wood, the player has very limited wood to build all the important buildings of this period at the same time. So it's very important to build a certain building based on the first time.
There are four important buildings in the Stone Age: Barbarian Barracks/225 Wood, Ferry/100 Wood, Fence/1 Wood 10 Meters, Barbarian Temple/225 Wood, and 50 Stone. Because of the different order of construction, it evolved into four different tactics: 6 tactics, sea tactics, defensive counterattack tactics, and evil tactics. (There is also a stone workshop, 225 wood, used to produce weapons.) )
6 tactics: give priority to building barbarian barracks, send out barbarian armies, attack from 6 places, and give priority to controlling 6 places, which is the tactic of fighting for hegemony in 6 places -- the advantage of this tactic is that on the same island, whoever sends out the barracks first can usually grasp the initiative first. The disadvantage is that the beasts and berries on the island are very limited, and the wood is consumed on the barracks, which delays the construction of the ferry and the fishing at sea, so the productivity is definitely worse than that of the players who go out of the ferry.
Sea tactics: give priority to building ferries, small rafts, war rafts, fishing, sea battles, and expeditions to other islands. Giving priority to controlling the seas is a tactic for maritime hegemony -- the advantage is that if you go to sea early, there will be more fish in the sea, and you will naturally get more food. The disadvantage was that after the construction of the ferry, wood was also required, which was essentially tantamount to abandoning the construction of barbarian barracks in the early days. Due to the abandonment of the barracks, the sea was strong, but the defense of the 6 places was very weak. This tactic, if you encounter a player who has priority out of the barbarian barracks on the same island, it will be over, waiting to be slaughtered.
Defensive counterattack: build a fence, rely on the fence to protect yourself, use the peasant uprising to defend yourself (the barbarian peasants are still very strong in combat), and then quickly go out of the barbarian barracks to counterattack. This is a defensive counterattack tactic adopted when there are many players, it is very chaotic, and it may be attacked by unknown enemies at any time. It doesn't take much wood to build a fence, and after building a fence, you can build a barracks or a ferry according to your needs - the advantage of this tactic is that it is the most robust and adaptable to all changes, and it is nicknamed a universal tactic by players during the closed beta period, and is loved by many players. The disadvantage is that it is one step slower than the construction of both 6 tactics and sea tactics. One step slower is equal to slow every step, and you can only control others.
Evil Tactics: Building temples and producing sorcerers and prophets, this is a very "evil" tactic. Wizards master herbalists and plagues. Prophets master prayer and calamity, both of which are terrifying divine powers - the advantage is that they are too "evil" and "powerful", a single wizard can paralyze the entire tribe of enemy players with a plague, and a prophet can make the sea boil and the earth crack; However, the disadvantages of this tactic are even more obvious, because recruiting wizards and prophets requires a large amount of silver, and a large number of farmers have to be sent to collect silver mines, which seriously delays the acquisition of food and wood, and spreads more slowly than a snail. Because of this shortcoming, few people will give priority to leaving the temple, and it is a wise choice to stay in the barracks and build it.
6 Ice gives priority to the fence, and the use of nature is a typical defensive counterattack.
Qin Xiaobai commented on this.
Psychologically speaking, people who lack a sense of survival security will subconsciously prioritize instinctive self-preservation rather than attack. Qin Xiaobai nodded secretly, it seems that in this girl's consciousness, defense is in the first place, and offense is in the second.
He himself did not put the offense first. Because he did not intend to build barbarian barracks or walls, but planned to build ferries directly, go to the sea to fish for food, recruit more barbarians, and rush directly to the Bronze Age as quickly as possible.
In this way, there is no natural conflict of personality between him and her, and it is not without the possibility of cooperation.
After determining that there are only two people on the entire island, and that the other is also a strong player, he prefers to cooperate.
Two players are masters, and once they fight, it is very fatal. One side is killed, and the other side may not have a few breaths left, so what is the difference between winning and losing? This is an online game with hundreds of millions of players, not a stand-alone game that determines the outcome of a battle. Those are two completely different concepts.
Qin Xiaobai was confident that he could defeat her in the short term, but he would definitely have to pay a huge price.
If you are not sure, try to avoid a premature outbreak of war.
So he wanted to convince 6 Bing that the two would have a "preliminary" cooperation.
6 Bing seemed to guess what Qin Xiaobai was thinking, and said with a light smile: "It's only the second day of the game, and I haven't built more buildings here." You were just in the jungle outside the camp and said you wanted to work with me? ”
"Yes, cooperation! We don't have hatred for each other, and there's no need to fight to the death. If we start fighting, we will be on the same island, and we will all be prone to great damage and seriously affect our own construction. The most important thing is that there are a lot of players from other countries on the islands around us, and you can play against them. You say, don't you? ”
6 Bing thought for a while and asked, "How many peasants do you have now?" ”
"There are 20 more."
Qin Xiaobai underreported a farmer. In this way, with the addition of the farmer who was "bitten to death" by the wolf, his number of farmers is exactly 21, as many as 6 ice. He also hints at this number: I am one less than you, and only one less. Even if it's not aligned, it's the same. What to do, you see.
6 Bing was quite surprised, Qin Xiaobai's number of peasants was actually as many as her, not as weak as she imagined. Too weak to form an alliance, that will only drag her down. Since the family is not weak, there is a basis for cooperation.
cooperation, which is a huge attraction for her.
As the guild leader, she has achieved excellent results in the world's top game in Empires, which is very important for the interests of the guild as a whole, boosting morale, and even ensuring her status in the guild. If you can cooperate with players on the same island, your power will be doubled, and you will be much stronger than players who can fight alone. Even a three-year-old knows this.
Qin Xiaobai was not in a hurry at all, he was confident to convince her.
Qin Xiaobai waited for her to make a decision.
Who the girl is, he doesn't know yet, but she should be smart enough to make a choice.
6 Bing solemnly thought about it for a while, determined that it was very beneficial to him, looked at Qin Xiaobai seriously and asked, "Do you have any specific cooperation proposals?" ”
She asked, apparently tempted.
Qin Xiaobai was very satisfied, she only needed to add another fire, it was impossible for her not to agree.
He smiled and said: "In this way, both of us will build a ferry first, so that we can directly eliminate the hostility of the two sides that may send troops, and there is no need to worry that the other party may send troops to sneak attack." This is the first step to build trust with each other.
There are many advantages to building a ferry first, and you can get a lot of food by going to sea as quickly as possible, and it is impossible to get much food by staying on this isolated island. Besides, the sea is so vast, and there are too many potential competitors and enemies on the surrounding islands, so it would be unwise for us to fight for territory on this small two-person island. ”
6 Bing looked at Qin Xiaobai again, of course she didn't have much trust in a strange man she had just met. Even if they are all players of the same nationality, it doesn't work. In global Internet games, wars between players of the same nationality are very common, no less than wars between players of different nationalities.
She secretly thought to herself in her heart: although she didn't know if he could be trusted, but he proposed that both families should build a ferry first, which means that he has enough sincerity to eliminate the possibility of a war between the two families in the short term.
I have to say, it's a great way to do it.
