I just created a team and put them online so if you guys ever see Tony Fist, Kevin Strong and Mike Furious around, that was me, and I can only apologize for your immersion. edit - seems like the upload thing lets other people download your characters, so I have no idea if it's necessary to have people appear in other games. Go download Battlesquad today! Thievery fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Mar 2, 2013 |

Downloading guarantees that that officer/team will be added to the pool of things that can show up in Empires mode (like your own created teams and CAWs). Otherwise it pulls down random online officers/teams for each playthrough. And then you can extract the data from your Empire mode save or directly after dwnloading them to add them to your own CAW menu. The download menu shows a big list of uploaded CAWs that match set criteria, showing their PSN user name as well, and even lets you see how the character looks.

After browsing through some CAWs on the download list, I went back to Edit Mode and changed my main dude out of his black wolf shirt, should have known that'd be overplayed  While I'm at it, I have to say that I felt terribly disappointed that the wolf shirt did not look like this:

Personally like the Dark Armor chest piece the best for starting male equipment.  This armor (forgot the name) is actually my favorite male armor you can get through those bonus points.  Totally breaks immersion, but man is it cool looking. I know it's actually an old DLC from DW6:E, but I really like the style of it. This is the look I'm going to stick with for my main caw. I really like the maiden armor, especially in green. It seems to match the rest of the game's style pretty well, while also looking unique and not-generic.  Here's hoping some goons run into my CAWs at some point.

Here are the ones I've made so far. The last two were recently made tonight. I'm not entirely happy with Chen Zhi yet. I think she needs a bit more tweaking. I only upload the characters I've played through with. I don't know if their history gets uploaded as well, so I just make sure they have some just in case. I think the twinkly stars mean they have history, since Zhou Xin and Yi Na are the only two I've done a campaign with yet. I try to keep them from being immersion breaking. Zhou Xin   Yi Na   Yin Xian   Chen Zhi

Yeah, the twinkly stars mean they have saved history. The annoying part is you can't edit the officer at all or the history gets deleted, which sucks. I'm in the process of basically porting over all my created dudes from ROTK XI to empires, like I always do. Most of them aren't 'finished' yet though. Since it seems to be 'post your dudes' time I thought I'd share a few too, plus the historical officers I've modified. Yuan Ke - My regular created Ruler  I wish you could take screenshots in battle because his stratagem face is hilarious.  Bao Bao - His chief Shitkicker  Chi Mou - Ke's rich buddy  Chi Long - Mou's brother, the sailor  Chi Yuan - uh... this guy  I'll link the historical dudes so this post isn't just image after image Chen Gong, because Lu Bu needs a badass strategist Lu Su Yuan Shu Yan Liang Wen Chou Sigh... I'm going to spend so much money on edit part DLC if Koei put out any decent one. We need more beards KOEI, stat!

What would be the best game to get, if one were craving some fresh musou action? I've got warriors orochi 3, but nothing more recent than that. I see the latest Fist of the North Star game came out, as did a new Empires game. Would either of those be worth my time, especially seeing as I lack the base DW7 to bolt onto Empires? Does the game still feel complete, or would I really need DW7 proper to make it worth my while?

Empires is like a spinoff game, so it doesn't have everything. You would probably be good to get DW7 as its pretty cheap now though.

If you want the story modes and such, then DW7 is worth getting at some point. It also has this new and separate conquest mode. It's a giant map of China where they have a mission for each province that you unlock bit by bit. I found that Conquest mode extended my normal gameplay by a good amount, so I'd say it's worth it if you can get it cheap. Never got Xl, though. So no idea how good that is.

So far 8's story mode isn't nearly as good as 7's, but it's presented in more or less the same way, characters talking and stuff blending smoothly into action, which is still pretty awesome, especially when your characters are all charging forward on horses and suddenly you're given control of one of the characters. The Jin story is as depressing as ever, as you mop up the sad remains of the other kingdoms.

Chortles posted:Any specifics about what went wrong with the presentation this time around? i.e. does the allowing of multiple character choices for a given stage degrade its storytelling focus? Do they still have an inordinate bone to pick with Shu? Both are WAY better than 6's though. edit: I guess Shu is treated a little better in their own story, but I haven't gotten far enough into Jin to see whether they really drag out their sad demise.

It's faster paced than the first one, Kenshiro actually mows down mooks like he's supposed to instead of beating them up slowly, and there's oodles of favorite Fist characters to unlock(as well as two modes to play through). While it's not a perfect game by any stretch(the first game did a couple of things better, but I REALLY didn't like how sluggish it played, though some people seem to like it more in that way, and I thought the QTEs were much more excessive on the bosses than in 2), I usually highly suggest it for fans of the Fist series. However, I will say that if you aren't a huge fan of FotNS-for example, if it's just something you like-I'd suggest getting it on a price drop instead. It's definitely a game for die-hard fans like myself, but for people unfamiliar with the series I'd only suggest it full price if you really, really want to know about the series(since it takes you through the entire thing.)

I'm the biggest FotNS fan there is and I think Ken's Rage 2 is pretty terrible. Legend Mode is brief snippets of game in between the story, if I wanted to read the manga again I'd read the manga and I'd rather a FotNS game be a game first and an accurate representation of the story second, not the other way around. And Dream Mode is a bunch of dull prequel stories played out on the exact same 'capture five bases and beat a boss' map. Everything is a step backwards from the first game other than 'Ken moves a bit quicker'.

Samurai Sanders posted:The Jin story is as depressing as ever, as you mop up the sad remains of the other kingdoms. I actually wanted more mopping up of the other kingdoms in DW7. I get that the Sima family had to take and consolidate power within Wei to eventually form/become Jin, but I wanted to see the entire map turn blue at the end. Instead, you finally deal with Shu and then are told "oh yeah, and Wu eventually fell, too." There are 22 or so battles in Jin's story so they could've split them more evenly. Something like: the Simas' rise, dealing with Shu, then dealing with Wu and end showing the full map of China united or something. Finally got to put some real time into Empires. I'm a little lost running around as a vagabond, but getting the hang of it. It's an adjustment moving from being a murder machine in 7 to significantly weaker in Empires (but still getting, like, 500 KOs in the first third of a battle). Any general starting tips? I already switched my Fame from Kind to Brave since that seems easier for a first run. I've formed a vagabond unit with Dian Wei and am currently trying to build up enough Intel to serve a kingdom with a ruler I like. This is in the Yellow Turban scenario. I had a good run where I started becoming friends with Lu Bu and won a couple skirmishes and battles, but then I forgot to save . I also went online and found someone to play with really quickly. We started out staying close, but eventually broke off and started racing to capture bases leading to the main enemy camp. I think he got the final kill to take over the base, but it was fun! Do you get any extras for playing online, or is it just a neat bonus?

From what I understand, Wu just basically surrendered when Jin approached with their massive army. The Sun's family greatness was front-loaded and it seemed like the descendants were just tyrannical pricks.

Make sure you're using the Supports from the Politics menu, since those give you bits of experience for different fame types and resources every turn, which let's you get more stratagems. And make sure you're participating in defensive battles and Invasions when you can, since if you do good in those, the ruler of the kingdom you helps will sometimes send an officer to get you to join without having to pay out the rear end for membership.

I personally think the easiest way to play the game the first time is to just found your own kingdom ASAP. Things are quite a bit easier when you don't have to worry about what the ruler wants to do or whatever.

In 7E, is there some way to choose who you fight a battle as? I'm doing a gathering of heroes, and used a CAW team. Am I stuck only playing as my ruler, or can I pick another person to play as during battles?

Yeah, as a ruler or Marshall you can choose who you fight as in battles. On the screen where your choosing who's in your army for a battle, press x on your ruler and you'll be able to replace 'em with someone else.

You can choose another officer to play as on the battle preparation screen. As far as I know, you cannot change during the battle itself.

By this time it was already downhill for Wu, which combined with the novel's own Shu focus (the last chapter features an almost ten-year time skip about a third of the way through!) probably explains how cursory DW7 is about things after the fall of Shu.

I played as my strategist once. I wasn't able to give orders and I don't think I was able to use stratagems. Maybe someone could clarify the finer points of the ruler/marshal/strategist/prefect dynamic. I've only been playing as a ruler, so I have no idea if appointing people to those positions even does anything.

Does anyone know if DW7 Xtreme legends was released in Australia? I'm having a bit of trouble finding it on shop websites, or was it a PS store thing? I'm slightly bored of Empires and I missed DW7 when it came out, and I miss the storytelling aspect. Is XL worth hunting down or is DW7 worth it alone?
