It should be noted that the above strategic actions can only select one enemy unit as the attack target. If the target is out of range, Basaka can transform into a red dragon and fly over to attack, and then fly back to his own position.
Flying back and forth does not require additional actions, but you may be attacked by nearby enemies during the flight and lose some HP.
In strategic mode, unless assassins are dispatched to execute the "assassination" command, neither the enemy nor we can actively attack the general.
Only when one side's troops on the battlefield are completely defeated can the defeated general be pursued.
Gao Fei also has four lieutenants, who are his teammates from the previous adventure - Jiang Feng, Eve, Al and Wush.
Jiang Feng's monk, as a foreign aid, has no connection with any troops on the battlefield and cannot improve the morale of the troops through passive abilities.
Fortunately, she can use this passive ability to activate the "Tian Er Tong" to monitor the movements around the headquarters and prevent the enemy from sending assassins to carry out assassinations.
Jiang Feng also has two "strategic actions" in each round, and can use "Scorching Glory" or "Sun Flame Palm".
If Jiang Feng wants to attack enemy troops in the air or far away on the battlefield, he can first use "Wind Step" to take off, then use "dexterous movements" to quickly fly over, and then fly back after the attack.
Or use "Void Escape" to teleport directly to the enemy's formation and launch a wave of surprise attacks.
Similar to the general, the deputy general runs back and forth in front of the two army formations. If they have to pass through the area controlled by the enemy troops, they will be attacked by opportunity and may lose their health points.
The second lieutenant under Gao Fei is Sister Eve.
Eve's passive ability is to improve the morale of the Druid troops. She takes two strategic actions per round and can be used to perform the natural magic she is good at.
The passive abilities of El and Ush can improve the morale of your own Bear Warrior troops and gain advantages on attack rolls and Will saves.
As for the strategic actions of these two brothers, it seems that they can only stomp their feet to launch "earth shock", which is of little use.
On the enemy's position on the opposite side of the battlefield, the main force consisted of 2,000 fully armed orc infantry, 100 tall and powerful frost giant warriors, and 30 young white dragons circling in groups in the air.
The orc infantry is not as good as the berserkers and bear warriors when fighting alone. It is better because of the strength of numbers. There are also frost giants who are good at throwing flying rocks and are like a hundred "human cannons". Generally speaking, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Goofy.
Out a lot.
After all, this is the first big battle in the module, and the game designers don’t want to make it too difficult for novice players who are new to the “Strategy Mode”, so they only assign the enemy army with the commander of the old white dragon August.
August didn't even have a named lieutenant under his command, which made the comparison of combat power between the enemy and ourselves even more balanced.
In strategic mode, Gao Fei cannot detect August's detailed data and can only see his command skills as a general.
The challenge level of this old white dragon is as high as 15, and its passive ability is "the whole army is immune to the fear caused by the dragon's power".
"What a fool! You are obviously targeting me!"
Gao Fei couldn't help but curse secretly.
Old Bailong is taking command, and his "Dragon Power" is gone, which is a bit hurt!
August can also perform two strategic actions each round, and can choose "Dragon Power", "Dragon Breath" and spell casting.
Lao Bailong's spellcasting ability is equivalent to that of a level 6 warlock. Among them, spells with higher tactical value include "Cloud Mist", "Wind Creation", "Invisibility", "Fire Resistance Barrier", and "Fire Resistance Barrier".
The 5-level "Freezing Mist Technique" can only be awakened by "old" white dragons!
August can also use "Mage Armor", "Shield", "Freezing Ray" and "Magic Missile", but this type of spell is only suitable for one-on-one combat and cannot be used on a vast battlefield where two armies are confronting each other.
How useful.
After reading the novice guide, the battle of Holy Ax Town has officially begun!
In the first round, the leaders of both sides roll to attack first.
Goofy's agility attribute is 15, which provides a 2 modifier for initiative.
The twenty-sided die rolled out 11 points, and the final initiative roll was 13. It is not high or low.
Next, it is the enemy's general August's turn to roll to attack first.
The agility modifier of this old white dragon is also 2. From this, we can infer that his agility attribute is either 14 or 15, which is similar to Goofy.
As for the initiative roll, Lao Bailong was not very lucky and only rolled 5 points...
"Okay! Got the first move?!" Gao Fei was secretly surprised.
However, he soon discovered that he was happy too early.
As soon as the dice result came out, August activated his specialty "Proficient Initiative". The initiative check was calculated into double proficiency modifier, equal to an extra 10, and the final check result = 17!
"Wori! What a waste of joy!"
Gao Fei was a little depressed.
What’s even more depressing is yet to come.
Since Lao Bailong is good at "proficient in first attack" and successfully takes the lead, the first round of attacks launched by his troops has an advantage!
Gao Fei finally discovered that although the specialty of "Mastery of Initiative" was of little use in the RPG adventure mode, it was very useful in the SLG strategy mode!
It's a pity that there is no strategic mode in reality, and it is not common in games. It is just a supplement to adventure. Otherwise, this specialty should really be chosen as an elective.
Augustus, who successfully seized the opportunity, ordered his frost giant troops to line up in a horizontal line, each picked up the boulder, and threw it hard towards the high-flying side's position on the opposite side.
One hundred huge stones flew across the sky, falling like a meteor shower on the heads of Gao Fei and his soldiers, who were forced to dodge with their heads in their hands.
The originally neatly arranged formation was scattered by a shower of falling stones.
Thirty soldiers were knocked down on the spot by flying rocks. Most of them were seriously injured and fell unconscious in a pool of blood.
Nearly a hundred people were slightly injured by the splashing of gravel.
Gao Fei quickly ordered his water and fire druids to cast spells to rescue the wounded.
He did not let the sky druids and earth druids participate in the rescue, because these two arms also shouldered more important tasks.
Under Eve's command, the 25 sky druids in the army controlled their wind element partners to turn into 25 groups of circling and whistling whirlwinds, arrayed in front of the position, and together they formed a whirlwind tent, exuding a powerful force.
The air currents deflected the flying rocks, shielding the troops behind them from bombardment.
The 25 earth druids in the army also followed Eve's instructions and collectively performed the 2nd level "Stone Shaping Technique". In just three seconds, they joined forces to build a solid breast wall in front of their own troops, blocking the flying missiles.
gravel.
With the two protective fortifications of "wind wall" and "stone wall", subsequent stones thrown by the frost giants will not pose a threat.
When Gao Fei saw that his troops had stabilized their position, he ordered the wind elements to collectively raise their flight altitude, like raising a transparent rolling shutter door, leaving an attack window for the berserkers and bear warriors behind them, and they threw hard at the enemy position.
Javelin, launched a counterattack.
The flight trajectory of the javelin was lower than the stones thrown by the frost giants. It was not blocked by the wind wall. It crossed the battlefield at low altitude. With a series of whistling winds, it penetrated the orc infantry standing in the front row.
My heart was cold, and I screamed and fell down piece by piece.
