The scene in the video changed and it cut to the shot of the scribe's copy.
“Next, let’s talk about the scribe copy that I cleared through the wasteland.
"Obviously, the scribe defined by the game "Dark Sand" is also different from the scribe in the traditional sense.
"In this dungeon, players have to go through many difficult tests. In addition to surviving in prison, they also have to refute three types of people.
"The first type is the opportunistic literati headed by He Xueyi. These people study only to get promoted and make money, and they work around the world. Although they maintain integrity and have a good reputation on the surface, this is just a means for them to get promoted. In
After Yang Yan was imprisoned, not only was he unable to stand up and support Yang Yan, but he also wanted to refute Yang Yan according to Emperor Zhao of Wei's wishes. He even wanted to cause a political turmoil and bring down several big shots so that he could take the opportunity to ascend to power.
"The second type is corrupt officials and powerful ministers like Wang Chong. They have their own set of logic. They use the theory of 'saving the people first to save the officials' to describe the entire officialdom as a big dye vat, a place where filth and evil gather together.
He rationalized his corrupt behavior and even wanted to use this fallacy to corrode Yang Yan's ideals and beliefs.
"The third type is an emperor like Wei Zhaodi. He regards the world as private property, the officials as domestic slaves, and the people as livestock. As an emperor, he only has his own selfish desires in his heart and does not care about the people of the world. To officials, he has always used the word "Yangtze River"
"Yellow River Theory", in fact, to put it bluntly, let honest officials and corrupt officials check and balance each other, let corrupt officials do dirty work to make money for themselves, and let different forces fight among themselves. He always holds on to power and sits back and relax.
"In the dark dungeon, looking at my broken body, looking at those officials who are all high and well clothed, it is really not easy to stick to your beliefs.
"But only by persevering, only by implementing the beliefs of a scholar, can one be remembered in history. Regardless of He Xueyi, Wang Chong or Wei Zhaodi, they can only remain infamy and be despised by others.
"In the game "Ansha", it is not emphasized that scribes must be loyal to the emperor. That is a kind of foolish loyalty. On the premise of playing a good role, as long as you have a firm belief, a clear conscience, and always stand on the side of the people.
Completed his mission.
"As for the Martial Soldier dungeon, Zhao Haiping has said a lot before. As a clearer of the Martial Soldier dungeon, he has deep experience, so I won't go into details.
"The next step is the focus of this video: What kind of game is "Dark Sands"?
"In fact, we can clearly feel that the four identities actually have one thing in common: they all regard the common people, fairness and justice as their first goals!
“The assassin assassinated Emperor Yan Ling because Emperor Yan Ling was a coward and a tyrant who acted recklessly and made the people miserable;
“The purpose of guarding the border towns with military soldiers is to resist the Beidi barbarians from wreaking havoc southward, so that the people on the border can avoid the pain of war;
"The scribes advised Wei Zhao Emperor because Emperor Wei Zhao favored Wang Chong, which led to extravagance and corruption in the entire court, so that the victims could only eat bran and grass;
"The reason why the knights killed Xue Tianba was because Xue Tianba was causing trouble to the village and was running rampant, but the court was unable to restrain him.
"So, we can roughly summarize the connotation of the game "Dark Sand".
“Through this game, players can travel into the bodies of ancient historical figures and complete their necessary missions.
"The identities we travel through and the events we experience should all be things that have really happened in history. The criterion for selection is whether the character has fulfilled his mission and is worthy of the common people.
"So why is this game so difficult?
"On the one hand, it is because it emphasizes realism. Since it is 100% real, the enemies must be very smart, otherwise it would not be real; on the other hand, it is to allow players to more clearly feel the difficulty of these people.
"Just like in many action games, the difficulty curve is deliberately raised to enhance the player's sense of accomplishment after completing the level.
"If the difficulty of the game "Dark Sand" was lowered, and the AI of the NPCs in it were also adjusted very low, and players could easily succeed in assassination, or they could refute Wang Chong and Wei Zhaodi through a cutscene, then it would not be as good as it is now.
of this effect.
"Actually, the current difficulty of this game has been reduced compared to the real history. After all, not only can we get various magical gift blessings of the Orderer, but we can also consult historical data for reference. It can be said to be an open-book exam.
Already.
"The most important thing is that we can try different methods over and over again, and as long as we persist, we will always pass the level. And those figures in history only have one chance.
"In short, I think this game is indeed unique. Although it has high difficulty in three aspects: historical knowledge, combat effectiveness and acting skills, its precise depiction of historical details, 100% realism and extremely high enemy AI are all outstanding.
It constructs an extremely real historical scene for us, allowing us to experience the unknown history of the past in a way that is almost like time travel.
“From this point of view, this game is an unprecedented and excellent work in the history of games!
"Finally, let me talk about the meaning of the name "Ansha" that I guess.
“When I first started playing the Assassin dungeon, I thought it was a homophone for ‘assassination’, but now it seems that this idea is too simple, and it is definitely not the case.
"Actually, 'sand' can be understood literally: its original meaning is a small island formed by accumulation of gravel and coral debris in the sea, slightly lower than the low tide line or at the same level as the low tide line. It can also be understood as a special kind of island.
Reef.
"According to my understanding, the reason why this game is called "Dark Sand" may have two meanings.
"The first implication is that if our world is a vast ocean, then the history we have experienced is an island. Most of this island is under the sea, submerged by the sea, and only a small part of history is left.
What we remember is the 'undersand'.
"Just like there is an idiom called 'the tip of the iceberg', most of the icebergs are hidden under the sea surface, and only a small part is exposed on the sea surface.
"The same is true for our history. This game originally showed the history exposed on the sea level. We can use this to trace the origins, pursue a longer and more ambiguous history, and explore the part of the dark sand below the sea surface.
"Another metaphor may be to compare the millions of common people to grains of sand. History is an island. It is not entirely created by princes, generals, heroes and heroes. It is made up of countless common people.
And those heroes are just a larger piece of countless gravel.
“So, this is a game with a historical theme, and it is also a hymn to those ordinary people who silently create history, and those heroes who stand up for the common people!
"I am now a loyal player of this game, and I am looking forward to the future updates of this game, because there are many touching people and events in history. When I think of being able to experience it in this game, as a person who has experienced it, I travel to
I was really excited to play these heroes in the past!
"For other players who have not been able to pass the level or want to give up, I hope everyone will persist and cherish their closed beta qualifications, otherwise when the official takes back the closed beta qualifications of inactive players,
It's too late to regret it.
"Finally, I hope everyone can have fun in "Dark Sand", and I also hope that the official "Dark Sand" will seize the time to open new game content!"

Du Gang finished watching the video and refreshed it again. This post has been pushed to the front page of the forum by players, and the number of replies has skyrocketed.
The response has been overwhelming!
After carefully watching the content of the video two or three times, Du Gang lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
"Okay, the content of the report is available.
"It seems that this game is indeed more complicated than imagined. The division of these four identities is not only the difference in combat ability in other games, but also represents the different choices of the four people in history.
"When encountering a foolish king and powerful ministers in power, the assassin's choice is to assassinate the king and kill the driver, the scribe's choice is to die to persuade him, the ranger's choice is to uphold justice for heaven, and the soldier's choice is to defend the border town no matter what happens, to protect the country and the people.
"Furthermore, the four identities and four choices also depend on the player's personality and abilities.
"This game is not just simple entertainment, but also has a profound cultural heritage and feelings about family and country, which is really valuable.
“However, I still don’t know what the developers of this game have in mind, and there are many black technologies that cannot be explained at all.
"In short, the content of today's report is available. But we still have to find a way to contact the designer of this game as soon as possible."
Du Gang put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and continued typing on the keyboard.

At this time, Meng Yuan was carefully watching the players' clearance videos.
The ginseng merchant was chewing an apple beside him.
"So, when will I know the specific information about this historical slice?" Meng Yuan asked.
The consultant replied: "Just a few more hours, and it should be enough to wait until this historical slice is closer to reality. At present, it can be determined that this historical slice should not be too long in history, at most it is the middle and late period of the Dasheng Dynasty, and
It won't be a well-known event either.
"Of course, we can't take it lightly. After all, no matter how weak the monster is, it is still very troublesome for us now."
Meng Yuan nodded: "I know."
During this period, Meng Yuan has repeatedly confirmed with the consultant the overlap between historical slices and reality, and is formulating a combat plan based on the progress of the players.
That is the version update plan of "Dark Sand".
According to Shang Shang, history is like a river connecting ancient times and the present. Demons occupy the history of ancient times. If they want to come to reality, they must penetrate step by step.
Therefore, even if the historical slice briefly overlaps with reality under the influence of demons, there is still a long process.
What overlaps at the beginning must be only a very small part of a historical slice close to reality. Those who can successfully enter reality should only be a very small number of forces in that slice.
For example, several squads of barbarians controlled by demons.
As the degree of overlap between historical slices and reality continues to increase, the power of demons that can enter reality will gradually increase.
Therefore, Meng Yuan, the sequencer, needs to achieve two goals next.
The first goal is to organize players to eliminate demons that enter the real world and ensure the safety of people in this world.
The second goal is to select players to enter the slice controlled by the demon, correct the wrong history, expel the demons in that slice, and use this as a springboard to continue tracing back to the longer historical slice, and enhance the process in the process.
