Chapter 300 Level Design
Everyone followed Lu Zhixing and Qin Shang to the tower of Hulao Pass and looked around, taking in all the scenery around them.

At this time, everyone was surprised to find that this scene had been transformed so much?
The one who was most surprised was obviously Zhang Bei, because he had filmed here before and knew what it was like here.

He knew very clearly that in the original setting, there wasn't much in Hulao Pass. It was just a very ordinary pass with a large open space inside.

After all, this part of the scene is only limited to the front of Hulao Pass. As for the inside, there is not much involved, so when setting the scene, there is no need to make the inside so detailed.

After decades of exposure to wind, sun and rain, Hulao Gate is covered with traces of time, and the situation inside is even more miserable.

And the current state cannot be said to be exactly the same as before, it can only be said that it is completely different!
Including the front and back of Hulao Pass, all areas that were originally open spaces have been decorated.

Before, they took a shortcut directly to Hulao Pass, so they didn't pay much attention to those scenes.

Now I'm looking down from a high place, with everything around me in full view, and I realize that this place has been completely transformed into a huge level!

The structure of the gate city of Hulao Pass is very simple. The front is a gate city and a city wall extending to the mountains on both sides.

The walls were thick and wide enough for several horses to ride side by side on them.

Guancheng itself has a large tower and some miscellaneous buildings inside.

But Guancheng itself only occupies a very small part of the area, because in front of Guancheng, there is a large-scale battlefield and the camps of the eighteen princes coalition forces, and behind Guancheng, there are camps where Dong Zhuo's army is stationed.

At this time, these parts have been rearranged and become a unified whole.

Lu Zhixing pointed to the scene in the distance and introduced it to everyone from far to near.

The entrance to the level is obviously the camp of the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces.

In the official game process, there will be several main coalition NPCs. They will start to march to various areas of the battlefield according to the progress of the battle situation.

Some NPCs will be killed, some NPCs can help players overcome a certain level, and some NPCs will issue tasks, and you can receive rewards after completing the tasks.

In the first stage of the battle, the main goal was to resist Dong Zhuo's army's attack.

Players can choose to follow some stronger NPCs. The difficulty of the battle will be reduced, but the rewards will also be reduced.

Or the player can choose to go deep into the enemy's territory alone and challenge the enemy's heavily fortified area. They can sneak in or be unparalleled.

After achieving key results in these places, the coalition forces will come over to clean up the mess.Although the battles are more difficult, the rewards are often more generous.

After initially stabilizing the situation and making the coalition camp safe, the war entered the second stage, which was the attack on Hulao Pass.

The attack at this time can basically be divided into two routes.

The first route is a side attack.

In this route, players can go to both sides of the battlefield in front of Hulao Pass.On the east side, there are a large number of elite Dong Zhuo Army soldiers and generals. They are all humanoid creatures and are very vigilant. They also have a large number of crossbows and other defensive equipment on the battlefield. Once discovered, they can easily be beaten. It is best to use Solve it properly through stealth assassination.

On the west side, there are a large number of magic soldiers. The individual combat power of these magic soldiers is higher than that of ordinary Dong Zhuo Army soldiers and generals. However, they cannot use equipment and their layout is relatively scattered. If the player is confident in his skills, If so, you can go all the way.

Regardless of whether you break through from the east or west side, you can successfully climb the city wall of Hulao Pass.

After climbing the city wall, you can directly attack Guancheng, and then use various siege equipment on the city wall to attack Dong Zhuo's soldiers or demon soldiers below, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the frontal battlefield.

Another route is to fight head-on.

In this route, generals will continue to challenge Hua Xiong and Lu Bu. Players can choose to fight, or take the two humanoid Gundams Guan and Zhang to fight. If they can defeat Lu Bu head-on, they can destroy all enemies on the frontal battlefield. Morale is greatly reduced, and your own morale is greatly improved. When you attack Hulao Pass again, the difficulty will be much lower.

Of course, there is actually no essential difference between the two routes. It’s just that the difficulty curve and rewards are different. It depends on the player’s choice.

However, the battle at this level does not end with the defeat of Lu Bu.

According to the original plot of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after the battle of Hulao Pass, the coalition forces defeated Lu Bu and gained an advantage, but they were still unable to capture Hulao Pass.

Dong Zhuo tried to lobby against the feudal princes, but to no avail, so he adopted Li Ru's suggestion, burned Luoyang and moved west to Chang'an.

The battle was not over until Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang and the princes captured Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass.

Therefore, when most games involve Hulao Pass, they end with Lu Bu's defeat.After all, the subsequent plot is not easy to show here in Hulao Pass.

However, in the design of "Sword Shadow and Prairie Fire", since the plots in each area are interconnected, there will be subsequent battles after Lu Bu is defeated at Hulao Pass.

Players need to continue attacking Hulao Pass within a certain time limit. This time corresponds to the time when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang.

If the player only conquers Hulao Pass after Dong Zhuo burns down Luoyang, then the plot will progress according to the general plot. After the player rushes to Luoyang, only the burned palaces and various monsters will be left. Many treasures and rewards will also be looted by Dong Zhuo. Empty.

These rewards can only be obtained in Xiwu later.

If the player builds the Hulao Pass when Dong Zhuo burns Luoyang, then when they wait in Luoyang, they will face a burning Luoyang. At this time, the player can fight Dong Zhuo's remnants, save some people, and put out the fire to obtain certain rewards.

The best situation is of course to capture Hulao Pass before Dong Zhuo burns Luoyang. However, it is very difficult to achieve these conditions. Moreover, we will encounter a heavily guarded Luoyang later, and the difficulty of the battle will suddenly increase.

However, compared to the previous two situations, the benefits of conquering the Luoyang level at this time are also the highest.

In addition to this large framework, there are many details in the levels.

For example, on the battlefield and city walls below, there are various mechanisms, different enemies, and shortcuts extending in all directions. Each player can choose a route based on his or her actual situation, and can even use some mechanisms to steal chickens and kill some powerful enemies. Elite monster.

In short, the entire level is made to extend in all directions and contain the universe. Although the overall level is still based on the Hulao Pass building in the Film and Television City, after a large number of magical changes, it has undergone earth-shaking changes from the original Hulao Pass, which was only an empty shell. Variety.
