The plot content of "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven and Wolong" is quite rich, with a total of 200 generals and 30 cities.

Of course, there are some of the more famous places in history scattered around each city.

If you look at the volume of strategy games, this is nothing at all, after all, the "Three Kingdoms" series often has seven or eight hundred generals and more than a hundred cities.

But "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven" is a small game, and with the gameplay being fully castrated, 200 generals and 30 cities are already quite considerable.

The game still takes place on an ancient Three Kingdoms map similar to "Three Kingdoms", but the size of the map has shrunk.

The game is turn-based, and every three months, the player and other NPCs can act in a way that is presented in the form of "Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter 221".

And at the end of each year, the major events of the year will be displayed in a concentrated manner.

Unlike most strategy games, Destiny is a game where players can do very little and choose between a limited number of actions, which means that each round ends very quickly.

Even from the beginning of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing in 189 to the autumn wind Wuzhang Yuan in 234, it is only more than 40 years, and according to the speed of this game, the whole game can be ended in almost an hour.

This time can be even shorter if the player chooses a late start time or makes a decision quickly.

This is fundamentally different from the strategy game that often "plays from 9 a.m. to 8 a.m.".

If you want to extend the player's game time, it mainly depends on the player to keep reopening and exploring different directions and possibilities.

From this point of view, "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven and Wolong" doesn't feel so much like "Three Kingdoms", but a bit like "Plague Inc".

Similar to some classic Three Kingdoms strategy games, "The Legend of Destiny and Wolong" can also choose the year of the beginning, but it is not divided by major events such as "Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing", "The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass", and "The Battle of Guandu".

It is divided by Zhuge Liang's age and experience.

The first stage is called "Don't Use the Hidden Dragon" and started in 189 years.

The major event in the world during this period of time is "Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing", Zhuge Liang at this time was only eight years old, just lost his father, followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to Yuzhang to take office, and later the Eastern Han Dynasty sent someone to replace Zhuge Xuan's position, Zhuge Xuan went to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

The second stage is called "Cultivating Nanyang", and the starting time is 197.

During this time, the world's major event was "Yuan Shu called the emperor", Cao Cao failed to defeat Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shao occupied Ji, Qing, You, and four states. At this time, Zhuge Xuan died, and the young Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong.

The third stage is called "Wolong Out of the Mountain", and the starting time is 207 years.

During this period, the world's major event was "three visits to the thatched house", Cao Cao broke Wuhuan, unified the north, and prepared to conquer Liu Biao in the south. At this time, Zhuge Liang began to participate in the world's major events.

The fourth stage is called "The Ministers of the Orphans", and the starting time is 223 years.

During this period of time, the world's major events were that Cao Cao and Liu Bei died of illness one after another, and Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister, began the southern expedition to Meng Shu and the northern expedition to the Central Plains.

Players can choose any one of the stages to start the game, but the goal of clearing the level is the same, that is, to complete the ultimate goal of "Kuang Fu Han Room".

The background of the story in which this game takes place can be seen as a modified version of the Three Kingdoms, where demons are rampant and possess these historical figures, and the goal of these demons is to kill two crucial Mandate of Heaven: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!

And this is also the origin of the name "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven".

The player plays Zhuge Liang, who can mainly perform two operations.

The first is the conventional domestic and military gameplay.

When there are other generals in the player's faction, different internal and military tasks can be assigned to them according to their attributes.

But how to execute these generals mainly depends on the system calculation, and the player can only give a general direction, and cannot operate the specific details.

The second is the original gameplay of the game, which is called "Wo Long Ce".

Zhuge Liang, as the Mandate of Heaven and Mr. Wolong, has seven unique "Wolong Strategies", and these strategies all have very powerful effects.

"Stargazing": You can continuously check the data and details of the target commander for 1 year.

"Tips": Giving a strategy to a specific person may enhance their domestic or military capabilities, and may also affect the AI's decision-making and actions.

"Ploughing": It can greatly increase the income and grain output of tuntian.

"Tongue War": You can try to convince the enemy to temporarily become an ally or take the initiative to retreat.

"Fire Attack": In the case of a suitable environment, it can directly cause great damage to the enemy army, and the narrower the formation, the higher the power and the stronger the lethality.

"Empty City": If the number of troops is much smaller than the opponent, you can try to scare the opponent away, but the success rate will be greatly reduced if you use it continuously.

"Star": Directly use the seven-star lamp to extend its lifespan, but if it is attacked by the enemy, it will be interrupted, and the success rate is not high.

Each turn, players can choose any three of these seven "Wolong Strategies" to execute, and then cooperate with the regular internal and military deployment, and then what to do is to watch their capable generals continue to expand their territory and conquer the world like "Plague Inc".

Gu Fan simply finished reading the basic gameplay of this game, and he actually felt that it was not bad.

If you look at it as a small-scale game, as long as you can complete these gameplay methods in a down-to-earth manner, it can be regarded as a good work to pass the time.

You can play a game in less than an hour, and the strategy choices are quite diverse, so Tu Yile is no problem.

But since this is a game designed by Lilith, how can there be no pitfalls?

Gu Fan thought about it for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the pit of this game should be buried in this basic setting, right?"

According to the background of the game's story, demons are rampant and possess historical figures, and the goal of these demons is to kill two crucial Destiny people: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"That is, the player will attract full-art hatred at the beginning?"

Lilith was delighted: "Huh? You are really smart! I actually saw it.

"That's right, in this game, NPCs don't give the player any time to develop at all. I naturally set a higher hatred value for the two characters, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, to attract hatred from the whole map.

"In other words, the other NPCs will kill them at all costs!"

Gu Fan pointed to the division of the "four stages" in the design draft and asked, "Will this be the case in the first and second phases?" ”

Zhuge Liang in the first stage is only eight years old, and in the second stage, he is only living in seclusion in Longzhong, and in these two stages, Zhuge Liang has no power of his own at all, but whenever a certain general touches it, he will send it directly.

Lilith nodded: "Of course!" ”

Gu Fan was a little shocked: "Doesn't that player have no way to live at all?" ”

Lily didn't care at all: "It's okay, I trust the ingenuity of the players. Isn't there still a "Wolong Strategy", as long as it is used properly, there is still hope for Gou to survive. ”

Gu Fan was speechless for a while, what a frustrating setting!

It's like Zhu Yuanzhang was holding a broken bowl around Huangjue Temple to ask for rice, but he was suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of Mongolian iron horsemen, this kind of scene makes people feel collapsed when they think about it.

Obviously, these four phases seem to give the player a choice, but no matter how you choose, the result is likely to be sent.

In the first two stages, although Zhuge Liang was young and had enough time, his men had no soldiers at all, and they were full of hatred, and any NPC could lead to the end of the game.

What about the last two phases? There are soldiers under his command, but at this time the enemy's power is also unprecedentedly strong.

And the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang's lifespan is so long, it seems that he will live to 234 years at most.

If he chooses the fourth stage, Zhuge Liang can only live for another ten years, and if he acts every three months, he will act at most 40 times. At this time, how can it be enough to support the Han family?

Although "Wolong Ce" seems to be powerful on the surface, after all, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

In the case of balance of power or small disadvantage, Wolongce may be able to turn things around, but when the disadvantage is too great, this thing can't do anything!

If the soldiers really come to the city, let alone three Wolong Strategies per round, thirty Wolong Strategies are useless!
