drat, Wang Yi's animation for her Rage Attack is great. She gets a pained, wistful expression on her face as she braces her sword. I remember Warriors Orochi 3 made a big deal about Ma Chao not killing Cao Cao out of revenge. Woulda been better if Wang Yi had been right behind Ma Chao at the same moment he spared Cao Cao.

Doing the Wei hypothetical: Who the gently caress is Zuo Ci? "What is that? Think this uprising is Sima Yi pulling the trigger on his plots? How cute. Here is a loving wizard." Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 09:00 on May 19, 2014 |

Zuo Ci has most of his story in DW7. And I think that's one of the problems is that you have to fill in a lot of gaps by playing the older DW's. Like, I totally forgot Zhen Ji was in the game until I did the hypotheticals.

Zuo Ci's been out of the series since 5 and been Warriors Orochi exclusive until now because "Historically A Wizard Maybe" was a bit much for even Dynasty Warriors.

In the novel he was a one-chapter wonder, two-thirds of the way down the chapter's length, after Jia Xu secures Cao Pi as Cao Cao's heir.

Man, especially with how much he ends up doing in Lu Bu's hypothetical, I'm surprised they didn't give Hua Xiong some kind of unique appearance. I mean they already have something to work off with the DW7:E look that came about.

I'd reckon come DW9 Hua Xiong just might get his own unique look, but that prediction is based only on his helping Lu Bu in the Hypothetical.

It took them until DW 8 to actually give us all the Five Wei Generals so who knows how long we'll have to wait for Hua Xiong. Me, I'm still waiting for Cheng Pu.

Although they can't exactly excise him from the games since he's literally the character who kicks off the chain of events that lets Three Kingdoms happen in the first place.

Yes, but you can say he was a rabble-rouser and revolutionary as well as maybe a wizard. The Yellow Turbans was a Historical Thing. ...I'm reminded of 4 again. You protect Zhuge Liang's altar, and in the cutscene he says "There is no magic here. I know the wind will blow today." It's weird when you look at everyone throwing out the crazy(Laser beams, for instance), even then. But at the same time....let's take the Yellow Turbans in one of their missions. The winds are windmills, yet the Phantom Army is caused by giant cauldrons of POWER that need smashing. Sun Jian calls this a 'gimmick'. On another note, I'm disliking the nature of how the off-screen is handled in 8XLCE. People are dying in literal seconds with the morale bar only a little on the red side. I know, it's always Up To You, but this is excessive. Add to this bases you capture somehow flipping back in seconds from...apparently nothing, and I have annoyance.

That's a wonky thing in Ambition mode, basically if there are any enemies in a base with no officers or unit commanders, it'll flip. You shouldn't really care about it in Ambition mode because nothing gives a drat about whether a base is taken or not and it just means more dudes for you to mulch.

This is not entirely true. If you want 100% subjugation you need all of the bases. The only thing I know this effects is how many times you'll have to run a map to get over-all 100% (On Normal it takes 3 100% runs to 100% a map).

How to level up Leadership insanely fast: find someone who has Gather Supplies and sacrifice a bunch of generals to his greatness (I used Zhou Tai for that). Stand next to him and spam Gather Supplies as many times as you can. I went from like 45 Leadership to 99 in like 2 or 3 battles.

Oof. Lu Bu's last normal mission is some poo poo. I hope there isn't a 'don't let any fire attack succeed' star or else I'm hosed. Trying to navigate around that castle with a billion things pulsing on the map was rough.

Yeah, the story of Wu seems to be that they're so totally awesome…but being awesome just isn't enough in this crazy world. I'm really liking Chen Gong. His scroll of war is pretty nifty and I love how he's a crazy pretentious strategist who wants to play with the big boys.

Releasing generic officers to power up other officers can only be safely done once you've hit the limit for how much stuff you can unlock via population (it's 700).

Is gaining morale during the extended Ambition Mode campaign battles impossible? I'll hold every base on the map and have defeated every officer but the commander and morale will still be 50-50. Also, the allied AI is horrendous in that mode.
