As one of the customized maps of the standard version of simulated war chess, the siege and defense of Sierra Leone City is basically a necessary element of every war chess, it not only simulates the historical race war 467 years ago, but also due to the complex and changeable terrain, after the improvement and simplification of later generations, it is full of high playability, and can be called a classic in all war chess maps. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The map can be divided into multiple grids to facilitate the settlement of warbands during the round, and the grid size varies from 16x16 small maps to 128x128 giant maps. Of course, these two extremes are rare, and the length and width of the map are usually not symmetrical, such as this classic Sierra Leone siege and defense, which is a 32x64 rectangle.

One of the most special aspects of the simulation game is its extremely free background, under the general framework of rules, each map has a completely different terrain, climate, historical background and other factors: for example, the map of the water area will have a large bonus to the branch of water magic, while the fire magic will be suppressed, and for example, the comparison between the two sides of a battle in history will affect the initial resources of choosing different factions.

Of course, the fun doesn't stop there, players can even buy a blank map in the store, which can be used to draw their own overhead chessboard and customize the background of that map. So while the game is both brain-consuming and time-consuming to play, it has become a hobby for most people who have free time, and has even become an enduring trend in high society, and most importantly, it has practical value, not just a plaything to pass the time.

It's just that the shortcomings of this game are also obvious, that is, as a gambling game, it is too complicated, so that it has been simplified again and again for hundreds of years, and what Su Wen sees now belongs to the simplified version of the fifth generation of simulated war chess. It is said that in the original version of war chess, there are dozens of dice that simulate random events, ranging from 6 to 60 sides......

That kind of primitive war chess, Su Wen estimated that it was not a rectangular box, and even a suitcase might not be able to be stuffed.

As for Kalito's proposal, Su Wen only thought about it for a moment before answering.

"Both sides choose the human side, I choose the attacking side, and the initial resources and conditions are according to the preset map. ”

"No problem, then, let's start drawing. ”

As he spoke, Kalito picked up the 240 standard decks that had already been taken out of the box, shuffled them at a speed that was difficult to read with the naked eye, and then divided them into three groups, placing them face up in the center of the map.

"Pick a group. ”

Suven casually picked up the central stack of cards, Carlito took the leftmost one, and the remaining set was put off the field as a waste card.

These cards represent a variety of classes and characters, and it is not too much to say that they are the protagonists of the war chess game, and they will be screened by Su Wen and put into the battle group for play. And the reason why they are war chess and not war cards is because the game on the map is played by other small chess pieces representing the warband, not the pile of cards themselves - there is a row of eight sequential card slots at the edge of the map, and Su Wen only needs to put the selected cards face up into the card slots, which means that the corresponding warband has been successfully created.

There are eighty cards, and the maximum number of cards per clan is 10, which is just the maximum. However, referring to this map, it is only a medium-sized map, and the initial resources are prioritized, and it is unlikely that 8 warbands will be really sent, unless Su Wen sacrifices the quality to make up 8 groups of weak chicken warbands that are not even high-level magicians, and the number of people is impossible to reach full strength due to the limitation of cards......

"Start building a warband. ”

With that, Calito brought an opaque partition and placed it horizontally in the center of the map. The not-so-high partition completely blocks the view between the two, so that neither side can see the game on the other side.

Su Wen looked at the cards in his hand, which were the same level as the magic energy crystals, and most of the 80 cards in his hand were sergeant-level with a white background, 11 knight-level with a blue background, and 4 great mage with a purple background. As for the top orange cards, that is, those who have names and surnames in history, Su Wen knows that it is impossible to add them in this brand new basic pack, if you want, like the blank war chess map, they are available in major brand stores across the country, but there is no guarantee that you can just buy what you want.

In other words, pump, pump, pump.

As the saying goes, a war group without a purple card can only be regarded as a salted fish, so Su Wen doesn't plan to play anything non-mainstream, since he has drawn four purple great magician-level cards, and his luck is not bad, then he will be divided into four war groups to fight. The four purple cards are "Fire Advanced Mage (Offensive), specializing in Fire Magic, providing 12 mana cap", "Water Advanced Mage (Comprehensive), specializing in Water Magic, providing 10 mana cap", "Advanced Magic Archer, specializing in ranged sniping, providing 8 mana cap", "Light Advanced Mage (Offensive), specializing in light magic, providing 12 mana cap". They all have a weighted value of 5 points, and Su Wen did not forget that he was on the 120-point weighted value of this map, and began to select the underlying cards.

In this map, the attacking side, the historical alliance of elves and orcs, needs to break through the Terran garrison defending the city of Sierra Leone, either by crossing the walls of the city or by scoring more points when the game is forced to end. Suvin has more resources to choose from than Carlito, but the former has a better geographical advantage as a defender, so while the initial weighting is only half that of Suwen, it doesn't seem unbalanced.

In fact, even if you are a beginner, Su Wen already knows this classic map, and vaguely remembers several excellent openings as an attacker, so it is not difficult to find four marching routes that can cross the most resource points and event points. And the cards that are selected relative to the terrain will naturally have a clue after the route is determined.

The terrain of Sierra Leone is complex, and on this medium 64x128 map there are four different landforms, namely swamps, forests, plains, and mountains, all of which can eventually lead to the direction of the city walls. If you want to get the maximum resources, you naturally can't rush to attack, so Su Wen decided to act on four fronts, for the first battle group walking in the swamp area, in addition to the purple card of the light senior magician, Su Wen chose the "fire intermediate magician x3", "high-level fighting spirit warrior x2" and "intermediate magic spearman x3" three blue cards, and the remaining white cards are composed of low-level water magicians, intermediate and low-level fighting spirit warriors and elite infantry, a total of 10 cards, with a total weighted value of 27.

In the second group, forest terrain, Su Wen's main force chose the water magician, because the fire elemental magic will have a bonus here, and in order to prevent Kalito's response, it needs to be restrained.

The third group, the plain terrain, is suitable for the cavalry to advance quickly, try to improve their mobility, and have a wide field of vision, but considering that this is an offensive and defensive battle, Su Wen chose to use high-level magic archers as the core, and the main force is archers and cavalry archers.

The fourth group, the mountainous terrain, honestly chose the fire method plus the main force to advance, because this is the closest road to the city wall.

Soon, Su Wen formed four formed battle groups, placed the four stacks of card decks in the right places, and the chess pieces representing the war groups were placed at the starting point of the machine room of the chessboard.

"I'm ready. ”

"So let's get started, the first 10 rounds will be the dark phase, and then the war wall will be demolished. Kalito's voice came from the other side, although Su Wen couldn't see his face at all, "You should understand the rules of the legion's mobility, right?"

"Understand, with the minimum mobility as the criterion. ”

"That's good, first round. ”

There was the sound of chess pieces being moved from the other side.

“...... Come to an end. ”

"First round. Su Wen also said, and then moved the four pieces at the starting point, of which the third group moved 3 squares, and the other two groups moved 2 squares, "End." ”

In the second turn, Su Wen's Plains Warband took the first resource point, gaining 5 points and 1 public mana cap, he grabbed two markers from the card bin as proof, and placed a flag on the resource point.

For the next five minutes, Suvin and Kalito marched silently, with only the occasional round count and end sounding. By the tenth turn, Suven's Plains Legion was approaching the midpoint of the map, and the Swamp Legion was slowly marching through the depths of the swamp, while the other two legions were on the left and right sides of the map, showing a trap posture and touching the 4x16 and 27x18 points.

"The end. ”

When Suvin pronounced the word for the tenth time, Carlito took the war curtain wall away, and the whole chessboard suddenly opened up. Looking down, Su Wen suddenly found that on the map of Callito's defenders, there were eight war group chess pieces, three of which seemed to be driving straight out, heading straight towards Su Wen's Plains Legion, only less than 10 blocks away. The other five were near the city wall, looking like they were imposing......

“......”

Su Wen didn't forget that the defenders of this map should be weak, and Carlito only had half of his weighted value...... In simulated chess, although eight sets of chess may seem huge, players can only control a maximum of four sets per turn, so if the weighting value is insufficient and rashly do so, it is undoubtedly doomed to be defeated one by one, and it is almost impossible to win on the frontal battlefield.

Su Wen looked at the public mana value in his hand, although the main wargroup of the Plains was the strongest combat power, but in the face of the siege of three warbands who did not know the details, he had no chance of winning at all.

In the eleventh round, Carlito took the lead.

The closest to Suwen's Plains Warband were Kalito's Nos. 3, 5, and 7 warbands, all of which were large warbands of more than 100 people depending on the color of the pieces. I saw that the No. 3 wargroup at the forefront continued to move forward 2 squares, and then advanced diagonally forward 1 square, a total of 4 squares were moved, which is the highest action of all warbands, which means that almost all blue and white cards are composed of cavalry, so that the No. 3 wargroup has entered the range of Su Wen's plain war group, but because there is a group of mountains in the middle for the reason for the stuck, Su Wen cannot attack.

The 5th and 7th regiments advanced three blocks unhurriedly, and maintained a distance of 5 blocks from the 3rd regiment, and there was no barrier between Su Wen's group and them, but due to the range, they were still unable to attack. According to this stance, it is clear that Carlito wants to give up the advantage of the defenders and fight a dignified encounter on the perimeter of the city walls. There is only one battle group of Su Wen here, so naturally he doesn't dare to be tough with him easily, but if he is dragged down, then Su Wen's other three battle groups will be able to quickly drive straight in.

For this situation, Su Wen thought for half a minute. Unexpectedly, Carlito gave himself a problem at the beginning.

Is it a battle, or is it a delay?

In other words, what is the reality of Carlito's 3rd, 5th, and 7th warbands? )
