The rules of Wizard Auto Chess invented by Husky are actually relatively simple.
The third time Jean Annan came into contact with this game, he defeated the Huskies by a large margin——
The chess pieces placed on Annan's side are the gold-level Maria and Annan, and there are also three other different bronze-level disabled wizards.
On the chessboard on the Husky side, there are seven or eight silver-level wizard legions.
As a result, at the very beginning of the war, Mini Maria stirred up a storm - a hurricane that could actually roll up Annan's hair. It blew the wizards to pieces and made it difficult to cast spells. Incomparable.
And Mini Annan suddenly transformed into a pure white dragon about one palm high...with a breath of frost, most of the silver-level wizards were sent away.
"Damn it, is this what it feels like to have a good brain..."
Husky looked unwilling: "Why can you be so lucky even if you have good brains... Maria and Annan are obviously the rarest chess pieces..."
Annan is a bit subtle.
To be honest, he actually doesn't think this game has anything to do with IQ...
And in fact, after Huskies advance to Silver, there will no longer be a situation of "insufficient IQ".
The so-called silver body is the "blood of the elves and the pure soul after taking the elves' fountain of youth" described in "Praise to the Name of the Sky Car". If you simply compare memory and logical thinking ability, Husky will now go directly to the most beautiful place. There is no problem with a strong brain.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with her IQ, it's just that Husky subconsciously chose not to use it...
"I think your game still has a lot of room for improvement."
Annan coughed slightly and made some comments: "There is no problem with the idea... but is this game too simple?
"The 'faction bond' you mentioned - I have already felt its effect. For example, every two, four, or six incapacitated wizards will increase the power and control success rate of the incapacitated spell... But Why is there no 'blood bond' between me and Maria?
"And can we also use countries to form certain attributes? For example, three Noahs, three Winters, etc... If it is only composed of simple factions, it will actually be difficult to attract those wizards to buy it."
"I have actually considered this issue..."
Husky's eyes suddenly lit up and he sat closer to Annan.
She took out all the chess pieces and placed them on the table.
——That is not a physical figure, but some kind of phantom projection. Just like a pirated Amiibo, you can summon the projection by placing it on the chessboard.
Approximately every chess piece is similar to the size of a Pokémon circle card. There is a circular vertical painting on it, and the spell school, identity, name, and effect are marked directly below.
The bronze level is exactly the same chess piece, with one to three layers overlapped, while the silver level is four to six layers stacked together, and the gold level is seven or more layers...
These pieces can be combined or split at any time. When they are attached to their own side of the board, they will be realized when the next round starts.
When they fight, these circular chess pieces will not move. If any chess piece loses, they will flip over on their own, back side up. Wait until the next turn, the opponent can continue to turn the card back and adjust the position or It is a merger and split.
In the battle phase, when all the face-up chess pieces of a certain side are turned over, they can get all the points equal to the "number of face-up cards" of the losing side...that is, [winner takes all].
This point is not deducted from the opponent, but obtained directly. However, it is not feasible to completely avoid the battle and not release chess pieces to curb the increase in the opponent's points.
In order to simulate the environment of "with the wizard tower at your back and no way out", at most seven wizard chess pieces in your hand can be idle - all other chess pieces must be played. But the points can be stored.
In the waiting period after each round, everyone can draw five cards, and can use points to draw additional cards. The first extra card of this round is worth one point, the second is worth two points, and the third is worth two points.
Zhang is four points...so although the points can be stored, they cannot be completely stored.
At the same time, excess cards can also be disposed of. By putting the cards in your hand into the waste pool during the preparation stage, you can get symbolic points at the recycling price of "one card is worth one point".
But compared to using this method to score points, "getting rid of the lagging rookies" is a more important purpose.
After five rounds of this, or one of the teams gets fifty points first, the game ends.
When these chess pieces are fighting, they are driven by AI and cast spells automatically. But they are not completely auto-chess... because they can still be "limited manual".
Players can activate the special effect written on the card by ejecting a card stacked on a certain mini wizard into the discard pool during battle - this is equivalent to permanently removing a card.
Or a chess piece.
Mini Annan's transformation into a dragon has this effect.
Husky's idea is to use this method to simulate the wizard's "trump card" or non-universal abilities such as "distortion spells".
You could say it's auto-chess, with some super elements...
"That's it, Your Majesty. I've thought about it before, but..."
Husky said seriously: "The nationalities of wizards are not scattered. For example, disabled wizards are basically in the Principality of Winter, and most of the destructive wizards are from the United Kingdom.
"In such a situation where countries and schools of thought are extremely overlapping, it is easy to be imbalanced when determining 'bonds' based on country. A slight problem with the values will lead to a certain school of thought being particularly strong, or a certain school of thought being particularly strong.
Some are particularly weak. And our game is sold to all wizards, so balance is very important."
At least you can't openly say that a certain school of thought is a novice...otherwise it will be suspected of openly causing war.
"But even if we don't use place of origin as attributes and bonds, we can still have bonds in some special circumstances. For example, relatives, masters and apprentices, lovers, comrades, etc... In short, we need to make two sets of attributes.
, the second set is best to be cross-school.
"Another one is that the frequency of powerful chess pieces will appear less... or the attributes should be lowered. Gold is much stronger than silver, which is reasonable, but it is unreasonable that powerful chess pieces can produce gold..."
"Actually, I adjusted the probability quite low. There are more than 200 cards here, and there are only nine Annan in total. As a result, you drew eight in the third round..."
Husky made a grimace: "I think this is obviously not a question of probability. It is your Majesty who has a problem..."
"Then I'll give you twice as many unknown rookie cards."
Annan made a prompt decision and made a sound that polluted the card pool: "Further reduce the probability of powerful cards...or, in other words, shuffle the decks with each other at a standard of about 'two hundred cards per person'.
"Actually, I think this game is not as fun to play with two people as it is with multiple people. You should try to create a multiplayer battle mode. If you can get six to eight people, you can use 60 to 80 cards per person.
Baseline, mix them together to draw cards. You can even let them prepare their own decks, so you can sell cards easily, right?"
"...Do you mean to sell cards in packs?"
"What if?"
Annan made an expression as if he hated iron and said, "Do you still want to buy it out at once?"
"I originally wanted them to buy a chessboard...the production cost of this card is not high."
The ignorant new planner Husky made a pure voice: "I plan to let them buy the chessboard, give them the matching 600 cards, and then let them try to streamline the deck and shave off the unnecessary ones..."
Annan immediately reprimanded: "Idiot, the price of the chessboard can be lowered. Find a way to make an identification code for the chessboard, and then charge them the cost price... It is enough to give them a hundred cards initially. Give them powerful cards.
They gave it a try and stuffed in eleven named wizards with a 33% probability, but only gave three to each. The special effects could be better and they called them "color cards".
"Then make a blind box, with a pack of thirty cards, giving about one to five colored cards per pack. When those wizards realize that powerful wizards cannot advance to silver, they will buy cards
box. When wizards use the gold-level effects of powerful chess pieces, they will definitely be happy enough to buy other card boxes.
"The card box doesn't have to be too expensive, although wizards are very rich - even if you exclude the transformed wizards, the monthly income of other wizards generally exceeds twenty silver coins. So the recommended retail price of the card box, you can buy about three boxes
The price of a silver coin.”
"no problem."
Husky quickly replied: "The cost of this kind of card is very low, because the projection ceremony is actually on the chessboard, and only data is stored in the card... It is estimated that making a thousand cards only costs about one silver coin.
"And in fact, if they are silver-level idol wizards, they should be able to change the card data by themselves... This encryption can block most wizards, but it cannot block idol wizards of the same level as me."
"It's not a big problem, let them change it. Anyway, the main players are still wizard apprentices, or low-level wizards."
Annan shook his head: "They thought they had an advantage... Actually, they didn't. We don't make money from chessboards or card boxes. We make money from this concept... It's not even making money, it's publicity.
"Because even if wizards spend money, they will not become stronger - in the end, when they play chess, they still have to mix everyone's decks... So when one person has a strong deck, it actually improves
It is the game experience of all wizards. Then he can become the main body of discourse within a player group.
"If this game is very popular, then there will also be a trend of exclusion among wizards - if a person's deck level is too low, other little wizards may not play with him. This will create a kind of social pressure
.
"Oh, yes, you also need to create an 'attribution code' so that after they open the package, the chess pieces can be logged into their own chessboard and returned to the chessboard with one click. This will prevent them from not being able to find their chess pieces after the game is over.
"Then reserve an exchange function, but limit the number of exchanges per month. In this way, let them draw cards and then collect and trade them. In this way, all the wizards who are playing this game will have new ones among them.
Common topics, so there is a new way to socialize, and a new social circle can be easily formed...
"Well, I have another idea. Don't you have a lot of games?
"If the quality of your games is good, I will hold a ceremony for the mysterious lady to ask if I can establish a shared, permanent magic based on the mysterious field. Its effect is to record your game data, including which of your games have been played.
Game, how many hours have been played, and what is the winning rate.
"Oh yes, you can also add an 'achievement system'! Let players who achieve special achievements in all the games you create permanently obtain an achievement badge or a counter - for example, in this Witcher Auto Chess game,
'How many people were frozen using the incapacitation spell'; or in that mecha game, 'How many attacks were evaded'..."
"If you make a lot of fighting games in the future, you can also use your game as the main body to create a worldwide competitive competition with wizards as the main body. The competition will be held in the middle of winter. It just so happens that I have some money recently.
For investment...
"You have to work hard, Husky! Try to make your game's competitive competition attract wizards from all over the world - the wizards screened out in this way will definitely be the wizards who are short of money. Then this gives us a
The opportunity to win over them also gave them a chance to get to know the Principality of Winter again.
"After all, in the previous Principality of Winter, the tradition of encircling and suppressing wizards was too old and the time was too long. Not counting the elven era, in this era, wizards - especially those who transform and shape the two families, are the greatest productivity.
Source. The Principality of Winter also needs a lot of wizard resources now.
"And starting from my generation to end this tradition, it is difficult for people to think that I am fishing... It is better to use this competition as a gimmick and let them see for themselves what the winter is like after the end of winter.
Prosperity', using personal experience to dispel errors - or, in other words, 'outdated' perceptions."
Looking at Annan who was constantly sharing his experience, Husky's pupils trembled violently.
——He also said that he was not a conspirator!
She has never been exposed to games on Earth, but after seeing more than a dozen games she has made that are still in their embryonic state, she can directly think of such an unscrupulous but perfect operation method...
You can even switch from the Witcher game to the political situation of winter - and according to Husky's speculation, Annan's plan seems to be really possible...
These are things that can only be told to an outsider like her!
Husky couldn't even imagine how many subsequent conspiracies Annan had hidden in his heart...
"By coincidence, we are almost at the Lava Forbidden Tower."
Annan made a quick decision: "When we get there, go sell this game to them."
"But it's not like I haven't changed it yet..."
"It doesn't matter. When the battle is over, I don't think many of them will survive."
Annan said in a deep voice: "We mainly use them for internal testing, and we don't expect to make money from them - the destruction wizard is not very rich. We just want to see how the price is and whether they can accept it. After the test, you
You can try to sell other games to them and try to sell them at a high price.
"After all, when the battle is over, their property will probably be submerged in the volcanic lava. Then it is better to give you an advantage and use it for your subsequent development.
"It just so happens that we can use you as a cover to sneak in first."
If you hit it directly from the outside, it is equivalent to challenging the external defense of a wizard tower.
Annan did not want to be used as a stake to challenge the achievement of "With the bonus of the Wizard Tower, how much output can be produced by all the destruction wizards in the Lava Forbidden Tower who focus on one target".
Using the friendly and silly face of the Husky as a shield, the probability of them sneaking in is much higher - if they see Ingrid and start a battle, if the battle ends quickly, there may be some survivors.
…
And Husky's intuition allowed her to capture Annan's meaning immediately.
Her pupils trembled violently at three times the speed.
You also said you are not a conspirator!
I gave you the game to play, and you even wanted to use me as a shield!
