《三国志战略版》【闲聊】我在S12服 S1-2的体验

My review of Three Kingdoms Tactics 三国志战略版 in English

Season 1
I was first attracted to this due to my decades-old memory of Koei RTK pc s. The official graphics supported by Koei does not disappoint. But to my surprise, this online is much more addictive and harder than what I expected!

As the first timer, I joined S12 server as player天蝎 at the start of season 1 and chose to be born into 巴蜀 Bashu province. Even though I was just a beginner, I was lucky that the top alliance in Bashu风流天下alliance leader 血战accepted me. The alliance style is 。Our leader always says, 我不养农夫的! This is afterall a war , not happy farm . So my story begins…

Guanzhong
Rushing to develop your own castle, generals and lands during the Beginner period of 48hrs was very crucial. The first week was a crazy frenzy to rush into 关中Guan Zhong province which is the richest in resources and nearest to capture the capital洛阳Luoyang as the season champion. Other top alliances such as Suzaku and 灭神 from 河北 Hebei were also developing fast and entering Guan Zhong.

This requires you to conquer the lands square by square. So after breaching the gates to enter guanzhong, everyone is laying the road 1 by 1 which requires 5mins for each square to be conquered. Each troop has limited stamina too. So everyone got to help lay the roads to different destinations and some players help do it overnight which is 10mins per square from 12am-8am! It was a major land grab by the fastest finger first.

Suzaku was fast approaching our area and an all-out war is imminent. They are very organised and strong. We have 2 battle fronts A and B with them. The top players fight it out at A aka 米奇小岛 (named after 米奇 who is a excellent player with 天下枪) and beginners like us at B. Every single day and over-night, we fight square by square, build and di antle defences, replenish troops and fight again non stop. It was a battle of wills to see who can last longer.

1st betrayal
We had a Bashu ally called 天下lead by北极 fighting in Guanzhong. During one of the key battles where we concentrate all our forces to break the imp e with Suzaku, they didn’t show up. We burst out to attack but were still unfortunately defeated by S.

A ceasefire was later negotiated by 血战 and 天下 was later destroyed by us and we took over their lands in Guanzhong. However, with the constant fighting and just finished attacking 天下, we have yet to recover and now need to defend against the new enemy 灭神.

Evacuating Guanzhong
Face off with 灭神happened in a narrow valley and they attacked at the time where most of our troops are already exhausted with the recent sweep of 天下. Unfortunately, we were not able to block the flood of their troops coming down the valley despite everybody #039;s brave efforts. Most of us are probably feeling dejected that night wondering about our future.

Very soon, our leader made a decision to withdraw from Guanzhong. There we go migrating our castle back and rebuild our lands. As we migrate, some players stay in guanzhong and left the alliance to join our opponent.

2nd betrayal
Within a few days, our leader announced that we will be entering 荆楚Jingchu, the province connected to Bashu. So here we go again, by this time we entered their gates surprisingly without any resistance. But with the gangster style, the route and stamina were not used efficiently. Soon the alliances in jingch ealized what #039;s happening and started to defend.

But with the long period of fighting, our players generals’ lvls are not trained high enough compared to those in jingchu with the luxury of developing their castle and generals in peace with more resources. While we had the upper hand initially, it soon became a hard battle as time goes by. As the distance for our troops to replenish and return was longer, the opponents soon overwhelm us with their numbers. Later then we realised that the alliance 灭神 that we gave up guanzhong territory to, did not keep their words to attack jingchu together. Thus we have to call off our invasion.

From Enemy to a Trusted Ally
The next day, our leader announced a shocking decision. He wants to take revenge against 灭神 and bring our top 20 players to join Suzaku in defeating them in guanzhong. He asks us to leave and join our ally 勿忘初心. I felt dejected to see everyone leaving after going through the battles together. A few members still stay behind. We can only wish our leader and buddies all the best in defeating 灭神 and return to Bashu soon.

Bashu on fire
The funny thing is I was all prepared to join our ally the next morn but seeing our friends left behind, I rejoin back 风流天下. After a few days I had decided to leave again and join our new ally again as there was really not many active players left.

Difficult but memorable period
At that time, 天下归心 from Jingchu was invading bashu from east. 天策from Xiliang was also itchy at west. 灭神 also entered the north border. At that time, I was trying to help 初心leader negotiate with 归心 but to no avail. And to my surprise, the leader handled over the alliance leader position to me!

I was in no position to be the leader. I have no idea how to defeat 3 alliances, I don #039;t know the well, my generals were weak losing the battle most of the time against other players, I don #039;t know the members and worse of all, the core team is non-existent. I tried to activate the members, form teams to resist the enemies but most gave up and joined them. Nobody wants to stay and gets imprisoned. As a prisoner, you lose the benefits of being in an alliance with resources buff. Once imprisoned, you have to wait for other alliance players to rescue you or pay a hefty ransom.

Slowly, day by day, people are leaving. But I know our leader 血战will honour his words and return someday to Bashu. I got to hold out to that day. I managed to create a team near to my castle and we started resisting though it w tres ul. I was even imprisoned tw . Greatly appreciate our 掏老二 players who rescued me. They started the 掏老二 movement in S1 and several players also renamed their name in S2 to end with 掏老二....haha...

Despite the hard times, I got to know great buddies who stick it out with me. That was my consolation and I considered it an enjoyable period.

Return of the Prodigal Son
True to his word, after helping lead the battles with Suzaku to fight 灭神, Sukazu was victorious. He is also returning to Bashu with our strong brothers and even sacrif the season champion reward.

With our allies #039; help, there were multiple frontlines penetrating 江汉Jiang Han, Jingchu and 西凉 provinces. Meanwhile in Bashu, we try to clear the lands and hide in castle nearby the gates to ist. On the late night, our Bashu brothers have succes ully breached the gate and the floodgate is open to defeat the alliances from Jingchu and Xiliang.

Reuniting Bashu
One by one, the cities start to fall to 风流天下. Soon 天策 and 天下归心 aliiances collapse with the players returning back to their original Bashu alliances.

And can you imagine all these happen in just 1 month or so? Very soon, entire Bashu province is wiped clean of enemies by 风流and初心. When that was done, I have requested to return to 风流and 初心 leader position was handover to SNTW eventually. I was igned by 血战 as 太仆 and a team leader and I started to recruit the ex-归心 players to join us. Many were mentally exhausted and lost interest in the . I was glad to see them becoming active players again after joining us. Most of the time, we were busy setting up defences and clearing the cities in our region.

初心 new team organised by SNTW had done an excellent job in management and execution working closely with 风流. I am very impressed by them and also grateful for their hard work to bring up the alliance again.

Entering Jing Chu and Jiang Han
It #039;s time for revenge! We soon invade into Jingchu together with 初心 and Suzaku #039;s help. But this time the opponent is 三国乌托邦. That was little resistance and we took over Jingchu in a fast pace by conquering 2-4 cities a day. Sukazu #039;s attack at 山东 Shan Dong gave them alot of pressure. Also 新月 was invading from Jiang Han and linked up with our forces. 三国and their allies in Shandong and Jiangdong eventually collapse.

With some time left before the season end, we decided to have a quot;friendly quot; match with 新月 with the entire Jianghan province as the prize. It was a long intense battle as if we were real enemies. Our cities were all far away so replenishing the troops to battle was a challenge. We did not have the upper hand and were under pressure from 2 main are eparated far away. Whereas 新月 players were mostly in Jianghan and have more lands at stake to win. Eventually after a long exhausting battle, both sides agree to call it off before we really become enemies. :D

Preparation for Season 2
After knowing our S12 server will be merged with S11 with 咸酥 being an extremely strong alliance whose players cash-in really alot, we had meetings to plan on which province to be born in, change our style and management. 血战 had spent great efforts in convincing our former enemy 三国 renamed to Google in S2 to cooperate.

On the last day of season 1, I decided to cash-in by myself for the which I never did for my past few decades of play so that I can be of more help to the alliance.

Season 2
Our new main alliance name is 风流传奇 and the first day, everyone standby handphone/PC so as to be born into a congested Hebei with our ally Sukazu and Byakko before it #039;s full. I was igned to open the sub-alliance 风流天下.

Our allies Google (三国）and Prime were in 西凉 so that our borders are safe. Why we choose to be congested in Hebei which proved to be the right decision, was due to 破千军 (S11 season champion 咸酥 ) and 天庭 Tian Ting were in Shandong and Jiangdong respectively. We expect a big fight at Hebei borders and we were right.

The 1st 48hrs w uper hectic to accept and kick members so as to increase the alliance level while I also need to occupy lands for resources/train my generals. I managed to form a few half-decent teams for battles this time round.

After a few days, when we were prepared to enter guanzhong, I left the sub-alliance to enter the main alliance. I was given the rank of 太仆. But the occupation of guanzhong was well organised, slow and steady, different from S1 method. We will occupy 冯翔郡 and Suzaku will occupy 京兆郡. Our opponents were going in via Jianghan to enter Guanzhong 安定. Their pace was fast. Suzaku was not occupying the lands in guanzhong fast enough. Soon the enemies were at the 白马 bai ma and 高唐 gao tang gates. Suzaku had a long hard battle as their castle and troops were not well developed yet.
Kudos to Suzaku members who withstood the onslaught

Meanwhile, we were fighting 破千军 Po Qian Jun at gao tang. After a few days, we managed to penetrate deep and fast into Shandong with Byyako. Po Qian Jun had a hard time and soon we were going to take over the whole Shan dong and started entering Jiang han from 江夏 Jiang xia. I was leading the Shan dong team to execute the plan. It w uper hectic. Despite all that, we had a temporary ceasefire due to our opponent alliance commander h omeone in the family p ed away. This shows that even though we fight as enemies in this virtual world, we are still human.

We progressed oothly to control Shan dong and eventually breach the gates to enter Jiangxia. Once into Jiangxia, it was a hard battle in Jianghan. Everywhere there are battles in Jianghan. As we slowly ate up Jiangxia, we were able to support our allies Google, Prime and Suzaku.

The Big Bet
The war is in our favour as Po Qian Jun and Tian Ting were desperate as their home base is getting attacked. They decided to launch a surprise attack on level 8 gate 上洛. In S2, the difficulty of attacking city/gate has increased. Early in the where the generals were not fully developed, it was a big risk. But they had no cho since they are being surrounded and attacked by us all the time. Moreover, with their home base destroyed, they had no cho but to open new war front in Guanzhong and boost their resources too.

Fortunately for us, their brave attempt did not succeed though it was really very close. We let out a big relief. It was a high level gate for a reason afterall. We drove them off away from that gate. A few days later, they had gathered at level 9 gate 武关 to attempt entering 司彔郡 where the capital Luoyang is. During lunch time, they launched their attack and most of us are probably staring at the screen. Alas, it did not succeed though they were really very close. Although we wish they will fail, we respect their unimaginable attempt as that is likely to change the whole war direction. There was a outpour of respect flooding the world chat channel. That #039;s when we also decided to enter this province asap to defend against their possible invasion.

侠客 play
With that failed attempt, our opponent leaders decided to turn into 侠客 Xia ke. In S2, this greatly favours the xia ke. It #039;s a different play compared to regular player. I heard in most of the servers, luoyang was captured by Xia ke. Imagine 2000 xia ke in entire server vs 800 regular players, it was definitely a hard battle in other servers. But this scenario did not happen for us.

When they converted to Xiake, battles were everywhere in the country. They can choose where to be their new castle location (provided the gate in that province was open or it is your home province) after we destroy their 1-square size castle. When they burn your lands, it cannot function so we can #039;t build defenses on it. When they shut their castles and block the entire valley, it is painful to wait for many hrs and try to clear. They can recruit soldiers fast only if they can often win battles in order to gain resources. Thus they must keep fighting. All Xia ke can link their lands irregardless of which Xiake alliance they are in and they cannot attack each other. Despite all that, life as Xiake is not so easy if you do not have powerful teams lead by the right generals and matching tactics.

Every day we were also busy clearing them near our castles. They were unfortunately let in by Bashu alliance who let go of the gate.

Can you imagine all these happened in just 1 month?! OMG!

2nd mth of S2，天水之战
Suzaku and us supported Google to capture Luoyang and other key cities by repelling the Xiake everywhere. When xiake grouped together in 1 area, we have to organise as a multi-blade sword formed by our allies and us to repel them. Finally after almost 1 mth of fighting over all the places, they finally all congregated in 天水 at Xiliang province. They managed to break through Google loose defence in their home province and blocked all the valleys to 天水city with their castles. It was constant battles with no end in sight. With just a few days left to S2 results calculation day, many more regular players also decided to become xiake and join the battle.

We were finally overwhelmed by the sheer numbers at 榆中 and had to give up entering the valley. Several of our brothers #039; castles got burned when they migrated there to support the battle. We had to make the painful decision to withdraw and return to our S1 home province Bashu for battles. Time to vent our frustration on Bashu Xiake haha....

WIth the end of S2 coming, we can only say that in S2, we were lucky to not get overwhelmed by Xia ke and not to have been defeated to be forced into becoming Xiake.

More about 风流传奇
About our leader 血战
He is fast furious like Oda Nobunaga 织田信长. He goes all out and put in full efforts in whatever he does just like his name. He means what he says and greatly appreciate the brothers that stick with him through thick and thin. So every battle he is 1st to appear and lead from the front. Even when he is sick or in pain, he still played on till past midnight. He had to spend alot of time coordinating with various alliance leaders and plan the strategy/attack routes.

After season 1, he has matured alot in season 2. Many players from S1 changed their opinion of him for the better as compared to the gangster style haha. A strong core team is also formed in people, land and battle management. This helped us in defeating the very strong enemies in S2.

He don #039;t focus on recruiting the top players. He only accepts those who are able to work together and loyal to the alliance. So we do recommend potential players to develop and ensure all our players grow. Since S1, we have seen some new players with pretty raw troops developed into very strong players in S2 that contributed over 100k 战功.

Fun facts
1. 血战名言：我不养农夫的！
2. We have quite a number of players who renamed their player names to end with 掏老二 which you can also see some from our core personnel list. So you can understand if we are especially kinder to ladies. :)
3. We have the habit of 偷跑. When attacking city or launching an attack on enemy lands, many like to start ahead of the announced time. Everyone can #039;t wait to eat the meat in front of them first....lol

Our core personnel
小生，查理王，冬姬，风吹动，鸿海茶业，气定神闲，林书豪掏老二，眼镜宅，游侠子龙, 珍珠，夜雨声烦，龙赛，阿刀, 盖惀，赵子龙掏老二，曹孟德掏老二，血荴芢。

What I like is this doesn’t mean that only top players who paid the most will win. It is a of unity, tactics, cooperation and friendship. You can even say it is a test of character. I enjoyed friends in this be it friend or foe.

That’s why I agree with the motto 有胆有谋有兄弟 and take this chance to thank all my brothers and sisters who played this like a full-time job. Even though I am a weak player, I know I can depend on them for help.
It has been a wonderful journey and I look forward to many more seasons with all of you. And to all the players who think they were not able to succeed in this due to being a no/low-cash-in player, there is always a chance for you to enjoy the experience and friendship.

PS: In case you complain why I wrote this article in English, it #039;s because it will take forever for me to write it in Chinese haha and maybe it will attract more English-speaking players too....if you want to help translate, most welcome. :)
