They say that the taller a strategist hat, the better the strategist is. That, or he could be related to the Conehead family. XD

That's true. I guess Sima Yi was lucky that Zhuge Liang died from illness. Otherwise it would be a whole other story. So does that mean all the Wu strategists are incompetent? If that's true, I'd say Lu Meng is a terrible one, all the way. XD

Shu depended too much on Zhuge Liang cause most of their competent officers were dead. Someone needs to give those Wu strategists awesome headgears. Those men are pretty (Fact: Zhou Yu is prettier than his wife) making Wu look like a kingdom of fairy.

At least Shu didn't have Zhuge Ke with them. Now that would be embarrassing. I have to say that, despite being able to survive that long, Wu had got the worst of it. Especially when their own family kills each other more than fighting the enemy. I would say that they had a better chance under Sun Ce. Although, I do imagine a lot of hypotheticals on what happens if Wu, Wei, Shu, and Jin, even if it's historical. Like if Shu would of never attacked Yiling. Obviously Wu and Wei would of crushed it, without hesitation. Despite it failing, Wu believed itself to be beyond Wei. Or if Shu didn't take Wu's offer of alliance, of an arranged marriage between Liu Bei and Sunsanxiang. Shu could of been the ones to unite the land in two, but it would be impossible to keep it all together if they move too fast. Especially when Cao Cao could take down Liu Zhang. And what if Shu would of concentrated their efforts on taking down Wu, after Sun Quan died. They had many opportunities to take Jing back, and further their objective towards their capital. It's not like Wu could stop them so easily. I just like the topic of hypotheticals of history. As well as history itself, of course.

Whoever conquer the entire Jing province, they win because it's the most strategic area. I feel like I want to play Romance of the Three Kingdoms game now. T~T Make my own character, join Cao Cao's Forces, take over the throne and conquer China. I miss that strategy game so much.

And yet Wu was so fixated at attacking Hefei for so long. You think they would attack Fan Castle, while Zhuge Liang's fourth expedition. I actually found something very interesting, while reading on the history of the three kingdoms. Cao Cao has a daughter named Cao Jie. I never knew he had a daughter. If so, you think they could use her in the next game? It would be very interesting to know. So did you play that game before?

It's no surpirse that pimp Cao Cao had a daughter. He had multiple wives and concubines. XD I watched a movie based on Three Kingdoms, more specifically Liu Bei's Forces vs Cao Cao's Forces at Changban (if I remember correctly). Cao Cao's Forces was led by a female general, Cao Cao's daughter. She was the Cao and definitely she was depicted as the villain. It would be interesting to see more female characters in the next DW game but then she could be seen as a waste addition. I played two RoTK games. I can't remember which ones. *fails at Roman numerals*

Well when a war lord gets the chance to take over China, with the possibility of death along the way, I'd try to do what I can before I die. I can't really imagine her as a villain. If she were, Cao Pi would be terrified. Except for Sima Zhao, I think. XD No, the worst waste addition would be if Yuan Shu was a playable character. He was a terrible leader. Especially when he declared himself as Emperor.

A Cao is often portrayed as villain in movies/TV shows/video games. XD Even though Yuan Shu was terrible but you gotta admit that he got big balls. He declared himself as emperor when the true emperor was still alive and he was supported by many high ranking generals/ministers.

I would have liked Guo Jia if he wasn't blonde and wore a decent strategist robe. He looks like some anime boy and his smile is creepily unnatural. I prefer Sima Yi wearing purple. You know his outfit main colour scheme is always purple except in DW7. The first time I saw him in blue, "o_o Is that really him? I WANT PURPLE!". I was glad his outfit was back to purple and a little bit of blue in DW8.

Well at least it's better than Jia Chong. I never played as him because he was really pale. He looked like Guo Huai, only healthy. Especially when he's some psychopath that kills randomly. Those were Sima Zhao's kills. I actually prefer Sima Yi in blue. The only one who did wear purple in DW7 was Jia Xu, and he looked like a serious Jack Sparrow. Plus, didn't they give anyone the option to change Sima Yi from blue to purple, in the gallery? Blue is my favorite color, after all.

Jia Chong looks like a vampire with that grey-ish skin tone. Jia Xu is the Chinese version of Jack Sparrow. XD My friend called him Jafar (from Disney). Players have the option to change Sima Yi from blue to purple but that doesn't change the fact his main outfit is blue. I wonder if the artists who did character designs intentionally made him awful. Who gave him the princess hat?! >_< His DW8 design is more decent and I think it is his best design so far.

Look at this princess hat design - s3.amazonaws.com/muzy-posts/i/… I know Sima Yi's hat is not cone but it looks similar - tall hat and cloth emerging from the top of the hat. XD the 'what if' scenarios are great in DW8. People would get bored if the game is too repetitive and predictable.

Why do I get the feeling that it sounds a bit more than just a princess's hat. Like something that most people would consider him, if he's saying he's better than everyone all the time. XD I know what you mean. I didn't even understand the whole hypothetical thing until I saved Xiahou Ba from going to Shu. It was way easier to get ride of Shu, since Jiang Wei, Xing Cai, Guan Suo, and Yueying tried to win. I even knew that Wen Yang was going to be playable. Especially when everyone kept saying he's stronger than his father.

Is it because his hat is that tall? XD He is so arrogant. He always thinks he is the most intelligent and better than Zhuge Liang. I find it funny when he boasts a lot. I wonder if Liao Hua would be playable. So many fans talked about him.

Grace-Zed In reply to TheLucky38 [2015-08-07 14:26:29 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, Liao Hua lived long. Idk how much contribution he made while serving Shu. When Sima Yi fell into a trap (most likely Zhuge Liang's plan), he and his army fled and Liao Hua chased after him into forest. Sima Yi dropped his golden helmet and Liao Hua took it. Not sure if this was true or only a made up story for Romance of the Three Kingdoms (this is Shu biased anyway).

To me, that sounds like Loki stealing Thor's helmet. A lot of people said that Hua Xiong should be playable, but he's only good for one battle. Two battles if it includes Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian fighting in Xiliang. If I had to say who would be playable. It would be anyone in Jin.

I am okay if Hua Xiong would be playable or at least make him unique and not a generic officer. XD They could make 'what if' scenario like Dong Zhuo defeats the coalition army at Hu Lao gate, he controls Luoyang and takes over the throne, has absolute power and imperial army, his great generals (Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong) defeats Cao Cao's forces in Xu Chang, Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

I had thought of what would happen if Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao at Guan Du. He would then head off to fight against Lu Bu, declare himself Emperor, for obvious reasons, and deal with Liu Bei and Sun Ce along the way. From there, it's anyone's guess. The only difference between hypothetical Yuan Shao and historical Yuan show. Making decisions on the spot. XD

That means it would be possible Guan Yu get killed during the battle at Guan Du. Zhang He doesn't defect and Zhen Ji is loyal to her husband. With Guan Yu's death, it would make sense that Liu Bei seeks revenge.

It's possible Yuan Shao's sons be playable. They don't play much role but it's video game. They can make up story. Guan Yu is a man of honour. He wouldn't join Yuan Shao's forces and fight Cao Cao. He owed Cao Cao's kindness or something. He paid his debt by fighting alongside Cao Cao and other officers. Cao Cao let him live and go back to his brothers after the battle. Hence, he didn't kill Cao Cao when he had the chance during Sun Quan and Liu Bei's forces pursuing his enemy after the battle at Chibi.

Do you think they might play a similar role to defend their home, like Lu Bu did in Xia Pi? I mean I doubt that they could last that long. But hopefully they can at least try to put up a fight. Then again, anyone that can defend better than Sun Xiu's forces is enough for me. It was easy to take down Sun Xiu's forces as Sima Zhao, during the hypothetical route. Even more easier than Cao Cao's forces against Sun Quan, after Chi Bi's hypothetical route. You're probably right. Yuan Shao would kill Guan Yu rather than allow Liu Bei to know of his involvement in Cao Cao's forces. I'd say a third party might happen during the battle, besides Liu Bei's forces. Perhaps Yuan Shu, after he meets up with Yuan Shao. Though I'm pretty sure Yuan Shao will force him to relinquish the title of Emperor before letting his forces join with his. The Yuan's have some serious family issues.

They can make hypothetical story like Cao Cao's relatives seek revenge after they heard Cao Cao died in battle. They invade Yuan Shao's home base. I remember when playing DW4 as Xiahou Dun, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei was on Yuan Shao's side but later they didn't do anything after hearing their brother was helping Cao Cao, and Lu Bu joined in the battle all of sudden because I didn't choose to kill him and let him flee instead during battle at Xiapi. Guan Yu left the battlefield after paying his debt, the player had two options: kill him or let him flee (this triggered a 'secret' battle after that: the player must defeat Guan Yu before escaping 5 gates). The battle at Guan Du was chaotic and fun. XD That is why I like DW4 a lot.

I can imagine that it would be like Yuan Shao's wanting revenge on Cao Cao, only reversed. Though I doubt they could attack Yuan Shao's homebase. They would rather defend the Emperor, to keep the de facto power that Cao Cao had left behind. Did Lu Bu fight for Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, or for himself? I always like a three-way battle. It makes things a lot more fun. Whether you can convince them to fight for you, attack them randomly, or enjoy watching everyone else kill each other. XD

Apparently Lu Bu was on Yuan Shao's side. You know how the map works when it shows your allied forces and enemies and there was no three-way battle back then. Lu Bu never said he was fighting for Yuan Shao though. He wanted to revenge for what Cao Cao had done at Xiapi. He went berserk going straight to the main camp. The player had two options: 1) kill Lu Bu so the main camp will be safe. 2) Ignore and kill Yuan Shao quickly. Lu Bu was a pest. XD

Grace-Zed In reply to TheLucky38 [2015-08-12 04:00:15 +0000 UTC]
Sorry. By going straight to the main camp, I mean Lu Bu would kill Cao Cao. The commanding officer often stayed at main camp in every battle. Unless the player was Cao Cao, Lu Bu would find the player. In DW4, people could play as characters from 'Other' faction, e.g. Meng Huo defends his home from invaders, fights Liu Bei's forces, invade the land of Wu and later Wei, unite the land under his rule. It was kinda like hypothetical route.

TheLucky38 In reply to Grace-Zed [2015-08-12 13:21:41 +0000 UTC]
Oh. I was going to think that Lu Bu would of taken over the main camp, thus losing Guan Du and possibly all the central plains. Thus leaving Cao Cao surrounded by them, forcing him to withdraw from the battlefield. It's kinda weird how Meng Huo would take over the land. He'll be more focused on Nanzhong, and his dominant wife. XD

Yes, the policies in DW4 suck. What makes DW4 special is it has duel system. There are some fun side battles for player vs player too. I missed playing the game with my cousin and constantly defeated him. XD

It was pretty good. I wish they did that in other DW games too. Especially if you want to capture an officer for being a burden against your forces. I like beating other people in video games. It proves to them that I rule the gaming world, no matter how hard they try.
There really good. The cinnamon is in the swirl of bread bun. The center is always the best part, especially when it's heated. They can melt into taste buds like a wildfire, only it will be of deliciousness. I tried iced tea, that's kind of the same thing. And no, I rarely drink coffee. I usually drink pop. Sometimes I go through a 12 pack in less than an hour, 2 if I want to savor it.
