"Friends, let's change our taste today and play a game for a while.

"Treasure? I won't check it today, mainly because you always don't have any good goods, and you always take some jade Ultraman and pure gold gourd babies to come to me, and the key is that they are all a group of men, how boring this is.

"What? Urging the Three Kingdoms series of videos?

"Don't rush, don't rush, don't you see that I'm taking this material.

"I haven't played this company's games, but I heard that the reputation is not bad, and it's a brain-opening company.

"I'll see, ouch, this company makes a lot of games, and it covers a wide range of games, which is quite similar to me.

"Okay, try to play this "Legend of the Mandate of Heaven" today. I'm clear about the Three Kingdoms! This kind of strategy game is my forte, and it has to be done without harm.

"Let's set a small goal first, let's protect Jingzhou and Guan Erye first, and then help the prime minister Kuang support the Han family. When these two goals are achieved, let's see if we can help Cao Cao get a wife in the world.

"I don't know if this game supports playing like this, but I've heard people say that this game seems to have a high degree of freedom, so try it."

Chen Tingquan said as he officially entered the game.

The game opens with a simple CG cutscene.

The clouds and mist dispersed in the sky, overlooking the large map of the ancient Three Kingdoms, the outline of the thirteen states was clearly visible, and between the cities, various villains representing pedestrians, merchants and armies were faintly visible. A moment later, black clouds appeared in the sky, and a large amount of demonic qi entered the cities of the world, possessing various historical figures.

A fairly simple and even scribbled cutscene CG that roughly tells the background of the game's story, and then enters the official game content.

"This game doesn't look like a big production.

"Don't make it too simple, let my wisdom be useless."

Chen Tingquan complained twice, as a history lover, he usually plays a lot of strategy games, so he is still quite confident.

Obviously, "The Legend of the Mandate of Heaven and the Dragon" cannot be compared with classic strategy games like "Three Kingdoms", and can only be said to be a miniature version.

Chen Tingquan is also a little worried that this game is too simple, and if you clear the customs at once, it will be very boring.

Officially entering the game, it is directly a very simple and crude description interface, as well as the options for four historical periods.

[At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people were struggling to make a living, the plague was raging, and demons were rampant. 】

[Demons possess historical figures, and they have only one goal, that is, to kill the "Mandate of Heaven" Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and let the world fall into eternal destruction! 】

[Please play the role of Zhuge Liang, who is also a "Destiny Man", protect Liu Bei, who is also a "Mandate of Heaven", and develop and expand your own power as much as possible, defeat all demons, and finally complete the goal of supporting the Han Dynasty!] 】

【Precautions:】

[1. Please remain highly vigilant at all times, the Mandate of Heaven is the enemy of the world, and all demons will kill you and Liu Bei at all costs! ] 】

[2. This is a highly free world, all characters have their own ideas and goals, and the major events in it are likely to be inconsistent with history, please make your own judgment.] 】

[3. Make proper use of your wits and 'Wolong Strategy' to survive as much as possible in this troubled world!] 】

【Please select the time when the game starts:】

[1. Don't use the hidden dragon (189-197)]

[Representative events: Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, the 18th Route Coalition Army to discuss Dong, Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou]

[2. Cultivating Nanyang (197-207)]

[Representative events: Yuan Shu called the emperor, the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao broke Wuhuan]

[3. Wolong Izumi (207-223)]

[Representative events: Sangu Thatched House, Battle of Red Cliff, Guan Yu Megatron Huaxia]

[4.The Minister of Orphanage (223-234)]

[Representative events: seven captures of Meng Huo, six out of Qishan, autumn wind Wuzhangyuan]

"Oh? You can choose the historical period.

"Friends, pay attention, the real game starts from this moment. Don't think that this game is the same for any period, definitely not!

"I guess, the difficulty of these four periods must be different."

Chen Tingquan felt that he was like a detective possessed by Sherlock Holmes at this time, and just from the limited information at present, he came to the key conclusion that "the difficulty of the four periods is different".

"Obviously, the first two phases should be chosen!

"In fact, Ji Han has gathered so many heroes and heroes, why didn't he recover the Han dynasty in the end? Time is all about time! Not enough time!

"My Han Zhaolie Emperor started too low, and he only had a stable territory when he was a lot older, and when Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, he was already one mine and nine mines, and his life span was only ten years.

"So, in the end, it's still not enough time and the start is too low!

"By inference, it must be that the earlier the game, the easier it is, and the further back the game, the more difficult it becomes.

"Friends, do you think, in 189, Zhuge Liang was only 8 years old, at this time, if we can control Zhuge Liang to assist Liu Bei, then it will develop to 223 years, a full thirty years, what kind of development will it be? I can't even think about that picture so beautiful!

"So friends, if you also play this game, you must remember that these four stages are from front to back, from easy to difficult."

Chen listened to Quanquan's analysis and felt that what he said was particularly reasonable.

Then in the praise of the barrage, he decisively chose stage 1: "Don't use the hidden dragon", that is, the beginning of 189.

"Friends, I'm not cowardly, after all, this is the first time I've played this game, and I have to understand the game mechanics first. When we're proficient, we'll challenge the high difficulty, understand? ”

……

When the game officially started, the first thing that caught your eye was still the huge map of the ancient Three Kingdoms.

There are thirteen states on the map, as well as many large and small cities.

Of course, even if the game's large map shrinks, it is definitely not displayed on one screen, and you still need to drag the map to see all the details.

By default, the game uses a keyboard and mouse, and you can click on these cities to see their detailed status.

The basic information of the city includes: population, taxes, food stocks, etc.

After clicking on a certain city, you can also see the list of main characters in the city at this time. The list includes not only those historical figures with names and surnames, but also some NPCs, BR county captains, and the like.

Between the castles, you can also see farmers farming in the surrounding fields, merchants passing by, marching armies, and so on.

Of course, for the sake of player understanding, these large map elements have been scaled to a certain extent, somewhat similar to the representation of airplanes and ship routes in Plague Inc.

At first glance, it has a sense of vitality and competition.

But if you pay close attention, you will find that the BGM at this time is full of dangers, and even has three points of evil. And the avatars of many historical figures in the city also seem to be full of evil doors, and even some of the more serious ones have a bit of "demonic surrounding" special effects.

Obviously, this is what the backstory calls "demons run rampant".

At this time, there are two highlighting effects on the map, one in "Yuzhang" and the other in "Right Beiping".

The former is the location of Zhuge Liang, the Mandate of Heaven, and at this time his uncle Zhuge Xuan was serving as the Taishou of Yuzhang; The latter is where Liu Bei is located, at this time he is following Gongsun Zhan and has not yet joined the coalition army against Dong.

After that, the game provides simple tutorials and instructions on the information on the interface and what the player can currently do.

To put it simply, the game is a round every 3 months, and there are four rounds in a year.

Each turn, the forces of the world will take turns.

The player can only control Zhuge Liang and his subordinate forces, and each military general or civil servant can act once.

In other words, the greater the power, not only the more resources you have, but also the more things you can do each turn.

There are three main types of actions that players can do.

The first category is the routine internal affairs operations, such as tuntian, tax collection, appeasement of displaced people, extermination of thieves, and so on.

The second category is conventional military operations, such as training, attacking, defending, or using special formations or strategies.

There are many types of strategies here, such as "Darkness Chen Cang", "Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain", "Fishing in Troubled Waters" and other strategies in the Thirty-six Strategies.

This type of strategy can be used by all generals with relatively high intelligence, but the strategy mastered by each general is different, and the effect of using it will be slightly different.

For example, "Darkness Chencang" can allow a certain army to march in concealment, "Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain" can lure a certain enemy force away, and "Fishing in Troubled Waters" can take advantage of the melee between two hostile forces.

However, the system also directly explains that the player can only choose a certain strategy, but how to execute it and what the result of the execution is all done by AI calculations, and it is not excluded that some cases of cerebral hemorrhage will occur.

The third type is a special operation, that is, "Wolong Ce".

These can be regarded as powerful skills that only Zhuge Liang has, and they are divided into seven types, namely stargazing, tips, ploughing, tongue warfare, fire attack, empty city, and star, and players can choose any three to perform in each turn.
