Chapter 113 I seem to see a big pit
As one of the customized maps for the standard version of simulated war chess, the offensive and defensive battle in Sierra Leone City is basically an essential element for every war chess. It not only simulates the racial war that existed in historical facts 467 years ago, but also due to the complex and changeable terrain, it has been improved and simplified by later generations, and is full of extremely high playability, which is a classic among all war chess maps.
The map of simulated war chess can be divided into multiple grids to facilitate the settlement of the battle group in the game round. The grid scale ranges from a small map of 16×16 to a giant map of 128×128. Of course, these two extreme situations occur very rarely, and the length and width of the map are usually not symmetrical. For example, this extremely classic Sierra Leone City offensive and defensive battle, the map scale is a rectangle with a specification of 32×64.
The most special thing about simulated war chess is its extremely free background. Under the general rule framework, each map has completely different terrain, climate, historical background and other factors: for example, the map in the water area will have a greater bonus to the branches of water magic, while the fire magic will be suppressed. For example, the comparison between the two sides of a certain battle in history will affect the initial resources of different camps.
Of course, there are more interesting things than that. Players can even buy blank maps in the store to draw their own overhead chess boards and freely formulate the background of the map. Therefore, although this game is both brain-consuming and time-consuming, it has become the hobby of most free people, and has even formed an enduring trend in the upper class. Most importantly, it has practical value, not just a toy toy to pass the time.
However, the disadvantage of this game is also very obvious, that is, as a game game, it is too complex, so it has been simplified again and again over the past few hundred years. What Su Wen saw now is the simplified version of the fifth generation of simulated war chess. It is said that the original war chess has dozens of dice that simulates random events, ranging from 6 sides to 60 sides...
Su Wen probably might not be able to stuff that kind of primitive chess, not to mention a rectangular box, even a suitcase.
As for Kalito's proposal, Su Wen only thought about it for a moment before answering it.
"Both sides choose the human camp. I choose the attacking side. The initial resources and conditions are based on the preset map."
"No problem, then, start drawing cards."
As he said that, Calito picked up the 240 standard decks that had been taken out of the box, fully shuffled them at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and then divided them into three groups, with the back facing up and placed them in the center of the map.
"Please choose a group."
Su Wen picked up the most central stack of cards, and Calito took away the leftmost one, and the remaining group was placed outside the field as a waste card.
These cards represent various professions and characters. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the protagonists in the war chess game. They will be screened by Su Wen and put into the battle group for game. The reason they are war chess rather than war cards is because the game is on the map, which is other small pieces representing the battle group, rather than the pile of cards themselves. There are eight card slots arranged in sequence on the edge of the map. Su Wen only needs to put the selected cards upwards into the card slot, which means that the corresponding battle group has been created successfully.
There are 80 cards in total, and the maximum number of players in each battle group is 10, which is just the maximum. However, referring to this map is only a medium-sized map, with initial resources first, and it is unlikely to actually send 8 battle groups, unless Su Wen sacrifices quality to make up 8 groups of weak chicken battle groups that do not even have advanced magicians, the number of players will not be able to reach full due to the card limit...
"Start build a battle group."
After Kalito finished speaking, he brought an opaque partition and placed it horizontally in the center of the map. The not-so-high partition completely blocked the sight between the two, so neither side could see the chess game on the other side.
Su Wen looked through the cards in his hand, which were the same as the magic crystal. Most of the 80 cards that caught his eye were sergeant-level on white background, 11 knight-level on blue background, and 4 big magician-level on purple background. As for the top orange cards, those with names in history, Su Wen knew that it was impossible to add them in this new basic package. If you want them, it is the same as the blank chess map, which is available in major brands in the country, but you don’t guarantee that you can buy what you want.
In other words, thrust.
As the saying goes, a battle group without a purple card can only be considered a salted fish, so Su Wen does not intend to play non-mainstream. Since he has drawn four purple magician cards and is not lucky or bad, he will be divided into four battle groups to fight. These four purple cards are "Fire-type advanced magician (offensive), specializing in fire-type magic, providing a 12-cost mana limit", "Water-type advanced magician (comprehensive), specializing in water-type magic, providing a 10-cost mana limit", "High-level magician, specializing in long-range sniper, providing a 8-cost mana limit", "Light-type advanced magician (offensive), specializing in light-type magic, providing a 12-cost mana limit". Their weighted values are all 5 points, and Su Wen did not forget that he was online at the 120-point weighted value of this map, and began to select the underlying cards.
In this map, the attacking side - that is, the historical elves and orcs coalition forces, need to break through the human garrison defending Sierra Leone City. The victory condition is to cross the walls of Sierra Leone City, or get a higher score when the game is forced to end, and choose one of them. Compared with Calito, Suwen has more resources to choose from, but the former as the defensive side has a better geographical advantage. Therefore, although the initial weighting value is only half of Suwen, it does not appear unbalanced.
In fact, although he is a beginner, Su Wen has already understood this classic map, and he also vaguely remembers several excellent starts from the offensive side. Therefore, it is not difficult to find four marching routes that can cross the most resource points and event points. And the cards that choose relative to the terrain naturally have a clue after determining the route.
The terrain of Sierra Leone City is relatively complex. On this 64×128 medium map, four different landforms appear, namely swamps, forests, plains and mountains. Moreover, the four landforms can eventually lead to the direction of the city wall. If you want to obtain the greatest resources, you naturally cannot rush to attack. Therefore, Su Wen decided to operate in the fourth line. For the first battle group walking in the swamp area, in addition to the purple cards of the light-type advanced magician, Su Wen chose three blue cards: "Fire intermediate magician × 3", "high-level fighting spirit warrior × 2" and "intermediate magic gunner × 3". The remaining white cards are composed of low-level water magicians, intermediate and low-level fighting spirit warriors and elite infantry, with a total of 10 cards, with a total weight of 27.
In the second group, forest terrain, Su Wen's main force chose the water magician because the fire elemental magic will have bonuses here, and in order to prevent Kalito from coping, restraint is needed.
The third group, plain terrain, is suitable for cavalry to advance quickly, improve their movement as much as possible, and have a broad vision. However, considering that this is an offensive and defensive battle, Su Wen chose to use advanced magic archers as the core, and the main forces are archers and cavalry archers.
For the fourth group, mountain terrain, I honestly chose the fire method and the main force to advance, because this is the closest road to the city wall.
Soon, Su Wen formed four formed battle groups and placed the four decks in a suitable position. The chess pieces representing the battle group were placed at the starting point of the computer room of the chessboard.
"I'm ready."
"So let's start. The first 10 rounds are the dark chess stage, and then the war curtain wall will be demolished." Kalito's voice came from the opposite side, although Su Wen couldn't see his face at all, "You should understand the rules of the legion's action power, right?"
"Understand, with minimum action as the standard."
"That's good, the first round."
The sound of chess pieces being moved came from the opposite side.
"……Finish."
"First round." Su Wen also said, and then moved four pieces at the starting point respectively. The third group of battle groups moved 3 grids, and the other two groups moved 2 grids, "End."
In the second round, Su Wen's Plain Team occupied the first resource point, obtained a 5-point score and a 1-cost public mana limit. He grabbed two markers from the card warehouse as proof, and placed a flag on the resource point.
In the next five minutes, Suwen and Calito were marching silently, with only the number of rounds and the ending sounds from time to time. In the tenth round, Suwen's Plain Legion was approaching the midpoint of the map, and the swamp legion was slowly advancing in the depths of the swamp. The other two legions were in a double-team state on the left and right sides of the map, touching two points 4×16 and 27×18.
"Finish."
When Su Wen recited this word for the tenth time, Calito took away the war curtain wall and the entire chessboard suddenly became clear. Looking down, Su Wen suddenly discovered that there were eight battle chess pieces on the defensive map of Calito, three of which seemed to drive straight out and come straight towards Su Wen's Plain Legion, only less than 10 blocks away. The other five were near the city wall, looking huge...
“…”
Su Wen did not forget that the defense of this map should be weak, and Calito only has half of his weighting... In simulated battle chess, although eight groups of battle chess look huge, players can only control up to four groups per round. Therefore, if they do so rashly without weighting, they will undoubtedly be destined to be defeated one by one, and it is almost impossible to win on the front battlefield.
Su Wen looked at the public magic value in his hands. Although the Plain main battle group was the strongest combat power, he had no chance of winning at all when facing three battle groups with unknown backgrounds.
In the 11th round, Calito took the lead.
The closest to Suwen's Plain Chapter is the 3, 5, and 7th battles of Calito. According to the color of the chess pieces, they are all large battle groups with more than 100 people. The front-end battle group No. 3 traveled forward in 2 blocks in succession, then moved forward in 1 block in a diagonal direction, recording a total of 4 blocks. This is the highest movement power among all the battle groups, which means that almost all the blue and white cards are composed of cavalry. In this way, the 3rd battle group has entered the range of Suwen's Plain Chapter, but because there is a group of mountains in the middle to block the position, Suwen cannot attack.
The 5th and 7th teams slowly advanced forward three grids, and maintained a distance of within five grids with the 3rd team. There was no barrier between Su Wen's team and them, but due to the range, it was still impossible to launch an attack. According to this posture, Kalito obviously wanted to give up the advantage of the defensive party and fight a dignified encounter outside the city wall. There was only one team of Su Wen here, so he naturally did not dare to fight him easily, but if he was dragged down, then Su Wen's other three teams could quickly advance straight into the city.
Su Wen thought about this situation for half a minute. Unexpectedly, Kalito had a difficult problem for himself at the beginning.
Should I fight or drag the battle?
Or, what is the virtual and real team of Calito's 3, 5, and 7?
