The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

There are hundreds of endings, and these are just the videos recorded by the players themselves and posted on the Internet.

These endings are not the kind of shoddy things.

Most of the endings have their own complete story lines, and most of the story lines cannot be selected simply by relying on a few options, but players have different ways of playing in the game, different choices, They even did different things at different points in time to make a joint decision.

This has also led to the fact that most players' game journeys are very different.

There are some plots that will guide players into the famous battlefield in the late Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Salhu. Some players may become a soldier in the Ming army because they were sent to join the army; some may be aspiring to join the army; , defected from Daming, became a soldier of Houjin in the Battle of Sarhu, and fought for Nurhachi...

And the endings are not the same. Some died in battle, and some survived after a hundred battles; some died as deserters and were hunted down, or were executed by their own people; Yes, there are also disarmed and returned to the fields, returned to be held accountable or even beheaded, and occasionally a relatively small ending that can lead to promotion and fortune...

The Battle of Salhu is a key part of the game "Steam Ming Dynasty".

The Ming army used machinery, gunfire, artillery fire, and even some purely mechanical chariots with very punk shapes, and even airships for aerial bombing.

On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of Houjin's side should not be underestimated.

In history, this battle was the great victory of the Jin Dynasty and the disastrous defeat of the Ming Dynasty. It was also such a war that completely reversed the strategic situation in the national war between the two sides. , completely corrupted.

The game "Steam Daming" has undergone magic changes in most places, but the context of the entire history and the general important historical figures are all based on historical facts as much as possible. Then this battle is of course Nurhachi's successor. Kim won.

The army of the Ming Dynasty has undergone magical reforms, and of course the army of Houjin over there has also been transformed. Although they do not have highly developed steam machinery technology, they have something that can fight against it: shamanism.

The game production team strengthened the presence of shamanism in Houjin.

The religion of the Jurchens is Shamanism.

"Shaman" is originally Tungusic, meaning "crazy person", translated into Chinese as wizard.

In real history, shamanism is a kind of shamanism widely distributed in North Asia, including Manchu shamanism, Mongolian shamanism, Central Asian shamanism, and Siberian shamanism. Shaman (Shaman, wizard) was once believed to have the ability to control the weather, prophecy, dream interpretation, astrology, and travel to heaven or hell.

The so-called shamanism does not refer to a specific religion or belief, but a general term for those who have shaman experience and shaman behavior.

Shamanism has four meanings of nature worship, totem worship, ancestor worship and idol worship, so there are many and mixed gods worshiped, and the ways of offering sacrifices are also different.

Even before the founding of New China, in Ningguta and Aihui in the northeast, the Jurchen people still maintained Shamanism.

And the manifestation of these shamanism being strengthened in the game is that they have become really mana. And starting from this point, they have cultivated some so-called supernatural warriors, just like the mechanical warriors on Daming's side. The shamans have also bred some giant war beasts, which are a bit like a combination of an ox and a rhinoceros, but much bigger. They are also covered with leather armor painted with gaudy totems, which seem to be protected by mysterious powers. These behemoths.

And against the airship, there are Jurchen air cavalry. They ride on large falcons that can soar in the sky.

This kind of war, which starts from the original historical battle and then undergoes a large-scale magic transformation, shows a very strong charm. Players who played the plot line of the Battle of Salhu all showed great appreciation for this plot and the story on the battlefield.

Different identities and different plot lines allow players to be on the battlefield, as if they have really become a member of this fantasy world and participated in this battle of national destiny.

Especially for a considerable number of overseas players, through this game, they may learn about Chinese history for the first time.

They hated the corruption at the top of the Ming Dynasty (some people also joined in this corruption), and they were deeply moved by the tragic battle of the Ming army on the front line that was doomed to defeat.

Of course, it is said that there is also a plot line with very difficult completion conditions. The player participated in the Saerhu Battle as a Ming army, and turned the tide of the battle, allowing the Ming army to turn defeat into victory.

However, this plot line is currently just a theory circulating on the Internet, and no one has actually played it - the individual players who claim to have played it have not uploaded the real hammer, only a screenshot, but the screenshot is obviously convincing Not quite enough.

However, there is indeed such a line in the game, and the difficulty of completing it is indeed very high. Players are required to become high-level officials of the Ming court before the Battle of Salhu, participate in the battle as a general, and make the best decisions in terms of decision-making and tactical implementation during the war, and in multiple battle scenarios , to achieve very difficult conditions, can start the final counter-offensive.

As for the final counterattack, the difficulty of the battle was also extremely high.

At present, no one has played it, and Dimension Entertainment, as a game developer and operator, must know this.

The Battle of Salhu is a major event in "Steam Ming Dynasty", with excellent design, excellent story line, grand scenes, and very popular battle levels.

But it is not the only one.

Judging from the endings of the hundreds of plot lines sent by the players so far, only about twenty of them participated in the Battle of Salhu. Others also have different endings.

Another big plot trend seems to be the struggle between Jinyiwei and Dongchang and Xichang; there is also a big plot trend, which is that the protagonist completely breaks away from the original Jinyiwei identity and follows the Jianghu line. The direction of this plot is basically against the officialdom of the imperial court-of course, some people have developed a game of acting as an undercover agent for the imperial court in the Jianghu.

What Dimension Entertainment didn't expect was that after the game was made and became quite famous, it also spawned a lot of "star fans", both at home and abroad.
