Chapter 0809 - "The Flames of War: Total War"
It seems that the Black Magic Company is planning to take the road of charging equipment and free games for the game "EO", so why can't you see where the other party's profit point is?
The panicked countries can only look at the first country of "EO", the Huangguo version of "EO", every move, hoping to analyze the intentions and trends of the Black Magic Company.
With the explosion of EO's player population several times, the number of registered players in Huangguo alone is as high as 700 million, not counting the new players from neighboring countries.
However, small countries like Silla, Fuso, and Siam have a limited number of players, and they're basically stuck in the stage of the five Hell difficulty pilot expansions, so let's skip it.
And Huangguo players who have cleared the five pilot expansions have ushered in the opening of the official version of "Coming to War: Total War".
What is worth talking about is that the official of Huangguo, who has always appeared in front of the world with a serious image, actually caught up with the trend this time.
It was announced that the Huangguo army was fully stationed in "Coming to War: Total War" for the purpose of exercises, replacing the NPC troops that originally represented the Huangguo official in the game!
In the five pilot expansions, players who have been abused thousands of times by imaginary enemy forces are now hilarious.
And countless player organizations who are huddled together to survive said with tears in their eyes: It can be regarded as having found an organization!
Prior to the official release, all players struggled in the game as civilians as "war survivors".
In the face of the enemy's mechanized troops, the civilians have no ability to resist at all, and can only fight the enemy squad in the ruins of the city in the form of guerrillas.
Although the song is bitterly happy: we are all sharpshooters, and every bullet kills an enemy...... There are no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes us!
But then again, if there is a stable source of weapons and equipment, who wants to play like this?
After the regular troops, which originally existed in the form of a game background, entered the field, a full mobilization was ordered as soon as possible.
In addition to the active soldiers, not only did they use the armed police, firefighters, local police and other lower-level forces, but also enabled all the retired soldiers and civilians with the status of reserve and militia in the game to join the army to counterattack the imaginary enemy forces that fully invaded the territory of the Huang Kingdom.
In addition, not only the regular army's aircraft, artillery, tanks, ships, and other heavy firepower and mechanized equipment poured out.
At the same time, the sealed national reserve was also opened, and resources were airdropped to the survivors trapped in the enemy encirclement, so that the originally unarmed survivors began to have the power to protect themselves, and the strength of the survivor guerrillas suddenly increased!
After half a century of preparation, all kinds of official preparations have finally come into play!
Although it is only a virtual reality game, it is a regular army that has opened up 100% gore mode through the permission of the Black Magic Company.
After going through several more "actual combat exercises," not only will they gain experience in dealing with various situations, but at the same time, the troops that have grown up in peacetime will smoothly grow from a "peaceful army" to an "iron-blooded army" that has experienced a hundred battles!
The efficiency with which the state apparatus has functioned has been phenomenal, having only undergone three month-long campaign resets.
The regular army of Huangguo achieved a successful counterattack from the first comprehensive defeat, to the second reluctant defense, and then to the third comprehensive counteroffensive.
Actual combat without losses is much more effective than any military exercise or military deduction!
But a game is a game after all, and naturally there are game-specific rules.
In addition to the country's economy, national resources, national industrial strength and other factors are truly mapped into the game.
The battle ranking points in the game, or battle medals and battle scores, are also important indicators of a country's combat power after the battle is reset.
The amount of points affects the basic resources at the beginning of the next game, as well as the amount of subsequent military production capacity in the course of the war.
At the same time, the record of the previous game will also affect the opening situation of the next game, in short, there is no battle, the plot development and process are the same, you can never imagine what will happen in the war!
For a while, almost the whole people of the Huang Kingdom were addicted to cultivating immortals and couldn't extricate themselves, and they always felt that every battle was like opening a new posture...... Uh, new experience!
Even with the comprehensive strength of the Huang Kingdom, it is not possible to ensure that every battle can be won, which also provides a large amount of actual combat experience for the regular army, I believe that as long as the battle is brushed more, it can always accumulate enough experience to deal with, no matter what situation it encounters, it can be calmly dealt with, so as to ensure victory in a hundred battles!
And with the accumulation of Battle Medal Points, players are beginning to find that this thing can actually unlock a variety of different campaign modes, unlock stronger weapons and equipment use rights, and even unlock attack modes...... That is, the pattern of foreign wars!
What's even more terrifying is that players stumble upon the fact that Battle Medal Points can actually unlock technology...... It's not a virtual technology in a game, it's a real technology in reality!
This is clearly not discovered by ordinary civilian players, but by the logistics and military personnel of the regular army!
In particular, a group of military personnel had the whimsical idea to transport an enemy fighter plane that was accidentally shot down on the battlefield back to the military research institute in the rear.
Only then did everyone realize that the "realism" of this game was a bit too high!
The things involved in that fighter plane are not accessible to the people, and the Black Magic Company is a non-governmental organization...... Well, the Black Magic Corporation is not a civilian organization, it can only be considered a mysterious organization.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the Black Magic Company can integrate real technology into the game, and it seems to be a matter of course!
And this discovery almost didn't make the official scientific researchers of Huangguo go crazy, this is a great opportunity to plunder the science and technology of other countries!
At the same time, this discovery also made Huang Guo extra vigilant, they can capture the enemy's technology from the game, so does it mean that the enemy can also capture Huang Guo's technology?
Fortunately, the setting of technological plunder only exists in the official official campaign, and the "stand-alone mode" can only harvest external models, and the internal details cannot be disassembled and cracked.
This point was discovered by chance among some players.
The game world of Flames: Total War does not exist in its own right, but in the form of a "regional campaign".
The official is becoming more and more cautious, while capturing, capturing, and plundering the enemy's technology as much as possible, it also protects its own technology as much as possible and tries not to leak it!
