What is different from previous games is that all station battles will occur based on the final decisions of players and human-controlled NPCs.
In other words, we have moved away from the city battle model where the system started the city battle in the past and the players just decided how to fight. Now it is now up to the players to decide whether to fight, when to fight, and how to fight. It can be said that to a certain extent
Players’ subjective initiative has become stronger.
In addition to being related to the player's decisions, the city owner NPC of each city also plays a decisive and key role!
If we are playing RPG role-playing, then the several city owners are obviously playing SLG, which is what we usually call a war strategy game.
Each of them has relatively balanced resources, including the number of NPC soldiers, their strength, and a roughly equal player base. How to effectively integrate these resources and utilize these resources within a relatively closed main city?
Conquering cities and plundering territories is what these city lords mainly do.
Compared with RPG, SLG tests the overall situation and decision-making ability of commanders and generals.
An excellent commander always has some outstanding talents around him...
As for the fat city lord... forget it, he has a lot of gay friends in bed, and the time he spends in bed obviously far exceeds his office hours.
After carrying the letter from the city lord Fatty, I decisively flew to the Thorn Valley on a gryphon, and then passed through the Moredo Forest connecting Silver Moon City and Red Flame City from the hilly area on the south side of the Thorn Valley, and officially stepped into
The boundary of Chiyan City.
The monster levels in the connecting areas between the two secondary main cities are relatively high, so these places usually become the main battlefields for players from the two secondary main cities to compete for leveling places, such as the Moredo Forest.
.
This is a large gourd-shaped forest running from east to west. There is no clear boundary between where is the boundary of Silver Moon City and where is the territory of Chiyan City. There are large forests on both sides, which looks very dense.
, and the monsters in the forest are quite high-level. Only the gourd-shaped waist in the middle has a relatively narrow passage, which is called Fraser Corridor. Generally, players who want to enter Silver Moon City or Red Flame City will go through it.
Choose to pay a certain toll from here to pass.
Here again I saw Tianhen's method of collecting money. He even had to charge money to cross the city. It was really comparable to the x-news a hundred years ago.
However, when players enter the forest from the hills south of Thorn Valley, the name of the map is just changed, but it does not show Silver Moon City or Scarlet Flame City. It should be a public area. No one has sovereignty, and it becomes a public fee.
income generating point.
After paying the 100-gold toll, I couldn't help but curse inwardly: Don't say they don't come to attack Silver Moon City, I can't bear the toll alone!
Of course, you can also choose to sneak across, which is to cross the forest from the side.
Because I came along the main road, I don’t know what the level of the monsters in the nearby forest is. However, since I dare to block the road and charge fees, the level of the monsters in the forest must be high, otherwise who would be willing to spend this unjust money?
After driving for nearly an hour, we finally arrived at the secondary main city, Chiyan City, located in the oasis in the northern part of the Chiyan Desert in the south!
The construction style of the entire city in Chi Yan City is really completely different from that of Silver Moon City. If Silver Moon City has a bit of the style of a medieval European castle residence, then Chi Yan City is.
A concentrated expression of the desert culture of the Arab world in Central Asia.
The buildings here are not high, the highest is only the second floor, and they all use sand and earth walls built with sand. You can still see the traces of years of friction on the flat roofs of the buildings. Various colorful curtains are just like this
Bamboo poles were used to support the streets along the street. Under the curtains were various items for sale by NPCs. There were also a few shirtless child NPCs playing and frolicking among the crowd.
Similar to Silver Moon City, Chiyan City also has four seemingly empty squares, and the city lord's palace of Chiyan City is also in the middle of the entire Chiyan City. The only difference is that Chiyan City is almost in the desert.
It is built, so it does not have a moat surrounding the city like the City Lord's Mansion in Silver Moon City.
When you arrive at Chiyan City, you will feel as if you are in another country. This exotic customs can't help but make people's eyes shine.
I rushed to the city lord's mansion in a hurry, but I was not allowed to enter. Although I had a high reputation in Silver Moon City, and ordinary city guards would salute me when they saw me, there was only "indifference" in Chi Yan City.
Moreover, the tough soldiers rushed out without giving me any chance to say good things. After all, I was a baron, but I was rejected like this.
This is too disrespectful!
It seems that the reputation parameter is only useful in the corresponding secondary main city. After leaving Silver Moon City, others will not recognize your reputation at all, unless you are in other secondary main cities.
Also complete some impactful tasks.
There is no way, I can't force my way in.
Still have to find the ghost Yaksha.
"Boss? What's the matter?"
"Didn't you leave some people in Chiyan City? What's going on with the City Lord's Mansion in Chiyan City? Why aren't you even allowed in?"
"Boss, have you arrived at Scarlet Flame City?" the kid said in surprise.
"That's not the point! The point is, why is it that the entire city of Chiyan City is under martial law?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Boss, the timing of your visit is unlucky! The lord of Scarlet Flame City was attacked just now, and he must be hiding in his mansion now and not daring to come out!" Oni Yaksha said cheerfully.
"Sneak attack? Who is so bold? Dare to sneak attack the city lord of Chiyan City?" I said a little speechlessly, he is the city lord after all, and the level of the guards around him is not low.
"We just got the news and are investigating! However, the city lord was attacked by a group of masked thieves of unknown origin on the way back from Princeburg. Although he was not injured, he was frightened, so he will definitely not see you now!
"Gui Yaksha said firmly.
Forget it, let's go to Prince's Fort first. If the relationship between the owner of the fortress and the city lord is good enough, he might be able to help with a recommendation.
After making up my mind, I walked around the Chiyan City and prepared to leave the city. At this time, there was a team of individual soldiers near the south gate shouting: "Production Department Princeburg is promoted, looking for a high defense knight.
Come with a physical defense of 1000+!"
They were already barking when I came here before. Now that I am back after a leisurely stroll around the city, they are still barking at the door. I don’t know if there are not many people with a defense of 1000+ or they are
is not popular enough.
I have to go to Princeton anyway, so I just treat it as a drop-in and escort them there as a kind gesture.
So I took the initiative to join the team.
"Priest? New here, why don't you show your ID? What's your defense? We're looking for knights with high defense, not priests."
