232. Flowery Intestines

"What? The fifth race?" Meng Xiao was a little stunned.

Among the versions that Warcraft has been released now, there are only 4 major races:

Night elves, orcs, undeads, humans.

And the characteristics of each race are very distinctive, and players can choose one of the races to fight against other races.

1. The orcs can be described as thick skin and thick flesh. In the story of the monster, the orcs are a brave and warlike race. They came to the continent of Azeroth for the survival of the tribe, and for a long time, they all acted as mortal enemies of the alliance.

The orcs are covered with fangs, tall and extremely brave.

Advantages: The defense is the highest among the four races, the strongest positional battles, the hero combination is very comprehensive, and the ability to open the mine and supply abilities are very strong. The beast race has more blood and high attacks, the single combat ability is the strongest, and the hero's ability to fight alone is the strongest.

Disadvantages: Strong supply ability but overly relying on heroes. If a hero is killed, it will be very embarrassing.

2. Immortality is also called the undead.

In the World of Warcraft view, the Undead Legion believes in the Lich King.

They can transform dead units into their own race, such as the very famous undead hero Sylvanas, who was originally the Ranger of Silver Moon City, but later transformed into undead by Arthas.

The undead race seems very evil in terms of painting style.

First, the base of the undead must be built on the corrosive land, and then the troops are all undead creatures, skeletons, hatreds, gargoyles, and lichs...

It is a terrifying race where you can feel the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere just by taking a glance.

Advantages: Undead units move quickly and have high attacks, very comprehensive troops, fast movement speed, have the strongest single-army Frost Dragon in the game, and their hero skills are very powerful.

Disadvantages: Poor supply capacity, not easy to open a mine, and it is difficult to turn the tables once a hero is killed.

3. Night Elf

The night elves are composed of Cardore and the night elves. They are partly beautiful girls with pointed ears and partly druids. They all believe in the power of nature, and the power comes from the tree of life or the well of the moon.

This race is the most elegant and most beautiful among the four major races.

Advantages: The dark night unit is fragile in the early stage, the later stage is very powerful, and there are many long-range troops, high attacks, and the cost-effectiveness of the troops (not as good as the human race but better than other races). There are many hero combinations, which are convenient for opening ore divisions and have strong supply capacity.

Disadvantages: Single and useless troops, and rely heavily on hero levels.

4. Human race

They are ordinary humans. They arm themselves through technology and weapons, and they also have some mage power.

Advantages: A race with very strong coordinated combat and relatively balanced attack and defense, if a soldier holds a shield, his defense is stronger than orcs, and he can rebound and puncture attacks.

The strongest race in human positions is the strongest, the hero combination is very comprehensive, and the ability to open ore and replenish.

Disadvantages: Human units are fragile and move slowly, and individual soldiers have very poor combat capabilities.

In addition, there are some neutral races.

For example, the Naga tribe, a group of amphibian races living in the water.

Naga was originally the nobles of the night elves - the upper elves. These powerful people were confused by the energy of the Well of Eternity and abused magic uncontrollably. Later, they were confused by the dark Titan Sargeras, and created a portal in the Well of Eternity so that Sargeras could invade the world of Azeroth through it.

The behavior of the upper elves led to the first invasion of the Burning Legion and the outbreak of the ancient war. After that, the Well of Eternity collapsed and the upper elves sank to the bottom of the sea. Most of the upper elves became amphibious monster-like Nagas due to the transaction between Azshara and Nzos.

And Sartre, the troll...

...

But these are not the key points Cao Yang wants to say.

The point is why he thinks that this new race can be developed by the Chinese and can be perfectly integrated into it, which plays a positive role.

Cao Yang blinked his bright eyes, revealing a row of white and neat teeth and smiled, "Now war3 has night elves, orcs, undeads, and humans. I think another race represented by China can be produced."

“Hey?”

This time Meng Xiao was really amazed.

He immediately got the point that Boss Cao would like to talk about next.

"Wow, this is a good suggestion. A race from the far east has very obvious Chinese characteristics. It not only enriches the race and gameplay of Warcraft, but also allows the whole world to see our culture."

"Yes." Cao Yang nodded, appreciating Meng Xiao's statement very much, "So what do you think should be?"

Meng Xiao blinked and soon thought of the answer, "Panda man, there is a panda man from the mysterious east in the frozen throne."

Cao Yang smiled, as if he had acquiesced.

Yes.

The fifth race he wanted to be is the Panda people.

Blizzard first introduced the Panda Man when a panda hero named Chen appeared in the Frozen Throne. Chinese players called it Panda Wine Fairy.

In my previous life, the Blizzard team made this character at the beginning, not to please Chinese players, but simply thought Panda was cool.

They couldn't even distinguish between Chinese culture and East Island culture, so at the beginning, the panda people held two samurai swords and dressed like a ronin.

Later, after the Frozen Throne was released, Chinese players were strongly dissatisfied with this, so they left messages on Blizzard's official website, telling them what Chinese culture should be and what we like, not like the character of ronin with a double sword depicted here, which is Dongdao culture.

After seeing the feedback from Chinese players, the Blizzard team changed the Panda Wine Fairy to what we saw in the end.

That is, holding the stick in one hand and the wine gourd in the other hand. He is wearing Chinese martial arts clothes, looking much more restrained and deep, with the style of some Chinese martial artists.

Then the skill of the Panda Wine Fairy was also fixed, turning into squirting wine, spitting fire, poking people with bamboo sticks... and then they can also become three panda elements with ground, wind, and fire attributes.

As long as any of the little pandas die, the panda wine fairy can be resurrected.

This time, because the copyright of Warcraft was handed over to Bomi, the player had been transformed by Cao Yang in advance before the player could see such a primitive ronin panda.

Now the panda in the frozen throne, overflowing is the final panda wine fairy, and its skills are exactly the same.

What Cao Yang wanted to do was to make the Panda people the fifth race in Warcraft.

"Wow, Panda people, the fifth race."

Meng Xiao's eyes shone, and many associations were automatically generated in his brain.

This time, the story of World of Warcraft has not been completed yet, and nothing is possible.

As long as Cao Yang is willing and they can think of all the details, the Panda people can become one of the huge races.

The grudges, love and hatred of this race, its history, its bond with Azeroth, and a series of stories that arise between the Pandas and the other four races can all be redefined.

This race is no longer because Westerners think it is cool and pandas are cute, so they use their thinking and methods to create and interpret it.

This time, the story of the Panda people will be written by the Chinese themselves.

"Wow, it's so interesting."

Meng Xiao sighed, he was immersed in the new ideas provided by Boss Cao.

"A brand new race with Eastern culture, then we can add everything we have unique features into it."

"Yes." Cao Yang nodded and praised.

"For example, now there is a Panda Wine Fairy, then it can be taken out of the neutral tavern. We can turn one of the panda heroes into Guan Yu, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, and the skills are also related to the sword technique.

In terms of military service, the highest-level unit I can think of, the same level as the Ice Dragon, can use our country's Qinglong..."

Meng Xiao became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and his eyes were shining.

When Li Lanyun saw this, she felt that there should be no major problem, so she got up and left the conference room.

...

Cao Yang and Meng Xiao discussed for one night, and both of them became more and more excited as they talked, and they developed many incredible design inspirations.

In fact, planning is not unexpected, but requires someone to encourage and guide.

It was almost 3 a.m., Cao Yang looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's do it first. Set the Panda race. You can design the specific details. I just need to see the final results."

"Okay." Meng Xiao scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

Who would have thought that they could chat for so long and so devotedly, and they didn't even notice the passage of time.

"Then I'll leave first. Mr. Cao, please go back quickly. I'm really embarrassed to delay you for so long."

Meng Xiao stood up and prepared to open the door and go out.

It was at this moment that Cao Yang stopped him from behind, "By the way, Meng Xiao."

"Hmm?" Meng Xiao turned around.

Cao Yang thought for a while and said, "I only have one requirement. While creating Chinese characteristics, we must ensure good balance. We cannot be biased towards it just because it was created by us.

This is the most important point in competitive games.”

The reason why competitive games are competitive is that they have a high balance. Even if players choose different races, they can still rely on their own understanding of it to formulate tactics, execute tactics, and finally win.

If one race overwhelms others, there will be big problems at that time.

Meng Xiao was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, we will definitely adjust our balance."

...

The next day, Li Lanyun announced the news in the interactive entertainment business group and brought in a program and art team for China Warcraft Studio.
