I'm at an impasse.

I can't take the castle to the Right, because my only helpful ally just can't cut it, and I sure as hell can't do it ALONE. Every time we try to go at them, we get stomped by the defending officers, and that's not even counting the one guy who shows up after the fact with 10,000 troops.

I can't do ANYTHING here, so how the hell do I proceed?

>>164447770
You don't have to expand right next to your starting castle. Perhaps try going west or north? marriages are also a thing so if you're worried about them stomping you raise their trust to 100 and get a marriage so they won't fuck with you and might help you out later.

>>164448903
The game won't let me attack the nearest castle north, and to the west is my only ally.

Screw it, I don't like being all traitor-y, but if I'm gonna get anywhere I have no choice.

>>164449443
>game won't let me attack northern castle
what do you mean? You don't have to use the military tab to attack. What you can do is click on the castle and a fan will appear above it. click the fan and it will ask you how many troosp and in what formations you want to deploy. Once deployed you can order the formation around wherever you want.

>>164449789
Ah.

Well, that's much more helpful, isn't it?

Well, not like it makes much difference. All other castle nearby are much stronger than Nagashima

Since it looks like your next to Oda, perhaps try waiting for Imagawa to start taking their territory on their march to the capital? This is assuming you started at the Birth of Nobunaga start. AI Oda usually sucks and gets steamrolled so you can use that opening to take a few castles. On my custom playthrough as a few Dynasty warriors I've almost managed to eliminate Hojo, but I'm completely surrounded. I grew to fast so Takeda, Hojo, Date, Nagoya, and a few smaller clans have formed a coalition against me. Gonna have to wait it out and hope Hojo doesn't expand while the coalition is active as Takeda and Date have good officers that can stave off my assaults.

Wait what? Im all for revitalizing the franchise after 7 hacky slashies plus spinoffs but is "open world" the way to go.

A giant explorable China to conquer could be cool a fuck if done right, but I worry we're hoping on the wrong trend

>>164453672
Knowing KT, DW9 will probably end up OK, with the open-world being implemented not to it's full potentinal but not completely shit, and will be met with lukewarm reception by the fans. I just don't see how the game could be truly open-world while still trying to convey a focused story. That said we still have no information on the game and it probably won't be released till a few months after Musou stars.

Same, they've forced the toddler pedobait shitters non stop for pedbucks and it's gotten way out of hand and beyond simply annoying now because they're now forcing them as the new MC face of DOA as a whole when it's a desperate cash grab. They've forever ruined DOA with this shit.

>>164456753

the sad part is I used to defend them for their gameplay and it being largely harmless fun. now it's just creepy.

>>164457385
I consider them to be the breakout characters for the series. Honkey having the largest tits apparently and Marie being the anti-thesis of the entire series. Of course they were gonna push them, just like they shove Yuanji and Sanada in everything. It's amazing Zhao Yun didn't get sidelined.

>>164457712
That's because Zhao Yun is the face of Dynasty Warriors. Of course he's got the limelight.

look at this dude

they took a shit character and made him the best in the series, why can't they do this for everyone else?

>>164464901
Yukimura has never been shit, he's bland at worst, not shit. There are a lot shittier characters than him in the series, like Mitsunari for example.

>>164464901
>>164465107
Well, some would argue that bland is far worse than just being unlikable. Even a negative emotion is a sign that the audience cares, but apathy is the worst possible result.

>>164465568
To each his own, I guess. But then you get characters like Mitsunari, who is so shit that he himself admit his shittiness, and yet he still has characters that flock over to him. I consider those kinds of characters to be worse than the bland ones.

>>164465793
True enough. I haven't actually had the chance to play a Samurai Warriors game yet, so I'll refrain from any serious judgments therein until that day comes, but if what you say is true then I must agree; Being shit is one thing, being a POPULAR shit is another.

>>164465793
Why do you call Mitsunari shit?

>>164465926
Okay then, I'll share a little of my opinion then. Musou games have always has bad characterization, mostly due to the size of the roster, but SW suffers from it a lot more than DW for some reason.

Mitsunari is supposed to be a genius with a personality so blunt that that it earns him animosity from others, but the game fails to show off his genius, instead everytime he's on screen, he constantly fuck up and has to be bailed out by others characters, he himself lament about this during the seige of Odawara. And about his personality, his bluntness sometimes comes off as genuine mockery, yet other characters just shrug and be like "Oh, that's just Mitsunari being a tsundere".

And god forbid mentioning Kanetsugu, who's basically Ma Chao on steroid.

Nobunaga's Ambition is one of the best strategies I've ever played, holy shit. I conquered, like, 1/4th of Japan, but those guys, Hojo, are ridiculously powerful. They keep rolling out 10-15 thousand armies, and my maximum is only 8k. What should I do?

>>164466330
Make a marriage alliance with them, and go around conquer the rest of Japan until you're at least 2 times more powerful than them. No, seriously, the Hojo's land gives them massive advantage in both economy and man power compared to any other clans in the game. Don't go challenge them too soon, unless you're very confident in doing Kessen with them.

>>164466330
You don't, by this time the game grounds to a halt as neither of you will ever be capable of putting more than a dent into your defenses, unless you somehow manage to create a massive coalition of minors to the west while gathering a million supplies in the border castles that will be able to feed the armies you're going to amass from your whole territory.

Knowing how to efficiently play in the battles is good too, since you can use this to punch through the frontline in one place and use the opening to mass siege their castles while their main armies are still tied up with the rest of your forces.

Maybe I was wrong to use them as a comparison. But for me, I don't tend to care for characters that the game or the devs want you to like. >>164465107 said it best. He's bland and doesn't really stand out to me too much. Going back to my point, the characters that are shoved in your face constantly over half of the time, are not likeable or are boring compared to the supporting cast. I can give a musou-related example, pic related. She gets more weapons than almost all the cast save for Link and DLC Zelda, she's the focus of the entire game with Link reminding you it's a Zelda title and until Legends, her wearing the Skull Kid costume pissed me off. We could have gotten him with the Majora pack. But then Linkle came along and managed to make her tolerable. Ironically, I like Lana better when she's Xiaoqiao and limited to non-story stages. Basically, I'm a fan of the less popular characters. Seems a bit hipsterish, but I like some flavor here and there.

I'm still ankle deep in SW, so maybe my opinion will change on Sanada, but so far, I'm not interested in him, and I'm damn sure not a Mitsunari fan. If I could, I'd swap him out for Masanori or anyone else.

>>164466768
>Knowing how to efficiently play in the battles is good too
About that, is there a point in manually controlling battles, or the auto-resolve is fine? Generally, I lose more men in the manual mode, but maybe I'm just retarded?

>>164472595
I sorta agree that it's better to just auto-resolve. Only time I actually control battles is if it's a mass battle with over 40k troops involved or I need the battle to end quickly (controlling battles on the field usually ends faster game-time wise than auto-resolve)

>>164472595
The only clue that I found is that the AI is pretty easy to bait, so sacrificing one fast unit (preferably ally or tribal) to lure them into a musketeer crossfire with cavalry making a large detour and hitting them in their backs.

I think 9 times out of 10, the problem is that the devs try so hard to make one character POPULAR, but wind up not giving them any real character out side of the dev's checklist of "Reasons we want you to like this character", while other, side characters get actual, y'know, characterization.

They're so busy making someone popular that they forget to make them interesting, and all that left over interestingness goes into side characters, so we naturally gravitate more towards them.

On further inspection, it seems that Wei is actually sorta fucked. While Wei has lodes of soldiers, a lot of their officers are either sick and dying or already ded. While the all-stars like Yu Jin, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun are still alive many of the competent but lesser know officers have died. Even worse is that Wu still has Zhou Yu and Lu Su who refuse to die and have been successfully destroying Wei skrimishing forces with ease. After pestering Cao Cao for quite a while, I've been put in charge of about 90k men to finish off the Yuan state up north.

After taking Gangling, I've decided to try and bait Yuan Shuan's forces into pincering my main force. My plan is to have secondary armies capture the undefended commadaries cut off the enemy forces while I hold them off at the village of Guangchang for as long as possible. Hopefully the eastern forces can pincer 110k enemy forces from behind but if they can't then the center forces can just retreat.

With victory at the battle of Guangchang Yuan resisentce is now negligable and secondary forces are sweeping across the northern plains to capture the remaining commanderies. Drunk off victory, Cao Cao launches a 140k attack on Wu even against my advice. Lu Su, Taishi Ci, and Zhou Yu are all present and combined form about a 120k force, but Wei's only compenent commanders in the attack are Sima Yi and Cao Ren who are lagging behind. I really don't think the attack is going to go well and it just invites Shu to be a dick and take some castles.

The coalition has taken 3 cities so far, and is currently launching a 5-pronged attack with the aim of taking the emperor in Xuchang, or at least surrounding the city from the west east and south. I personally am leading the defense of Xuchang and sent out proposals to at least defend the cities attacked by Wu in the east. Luoyang, the target of the brown dudes from the west, have gates defending them which I hope slows down the enemy advance enough to mobilize a force from above the yellow river

the dark green is Liu Bei and friends. it says 38 because Liu Bei took all troops out of the city to attack Cao Cao. combined with the 32k in Runan Liu Bei has about 80k men to his name.

The defense of Luoyang was a complete success thanks to Sima Yi, so much that the forces tasked to defend it can go on the counter-offensive against the imbeciles to the west. Xuchang is in a deadlock with more and more troops pouring in on both sides. Langyae and Qiao are now safe but Taishi Ci is trying to force a breakthrough at Xiapai but is being held off by Zhange Liao

Well I generally agree too, but that's really the whole annoying point. There are a lot cooler DOA fighters out there and yet the game has ostensibly become the Maria and Honk show. Hell the game hasn't even revealed there stories yet as far as I know. And this goes ditto for NyoTengu whose existence raises all kinds of questions but "MUH ARA ARA" fags

These characters are being horned in left in right and even series originals Lei Fang and Tina got benched for X3? That's BS.

And Ill be blunt, a lot of the old characters aren't immune to this either. I cannot stand Kasumi. Her whole role in the story is basically to be the special snow flake princess who exists to make sad doe eyes everywhere and have the whole cast tell her how great she is except Ayane who gets yelled out for doing her job.

>>164498821
I see where you're coming from. And I cannot stand the Mary Sue archtype. Does she have any flaws or is she just that perfect?

I remember reading somewhere that the devs were surprised Wang Yuanji became so popular so quickly. As in, people kept asking tons of questions about her soon after her design was revealed, well before the game was actually released.

Zhao Yun and Yukimura being popular is a near given (heroic somewhat-self-insert poster boys), but there's something about Yuanji that just made her click with the fans. I've read similar sentiments about /m/'s Lord and Savior.

Weiryan, Shu Han(glo), Literally Whu?

Choose one you think is the best

And don't choose Shu or Wu

How about making a pastebin for the general that includes information on the various games? We will probably ded soon, but it would be nice to have a base for when Musou stars get released and we get close to DW9 release.

>>164521362
Almost everyone here knows everything about every game plus the related historical literature

>>164521513

We need something acceptable for newfags though, and it would help keep us from being ded by working together on something. I can help out on the history section.

>>164521841
NO FUCK THE NEWFAGS

>>164521841
What should we put in the pastebin though? Anything about the games can be easily find by googling, and anything history-related is just to broad to be included.

>>164521867
Not that I want to defend newfags or something, but that's not how generals work.

>>164521867
I agree. By fucking the newfags, we will grow corrupt and complacent much like late Han dynasty. Eventually the newfags will rise up in rebellion and depose us, throwing /eagg/ into chaos and allowing anons both new and old to become warlords and compete to become emperor.

>>164522004
This is not a general, this is a commandery under Shu

That's why it's dead

>>164521841
History section will be counter productive, people would just skip it and ask here or anywhere else anyway (and it helps for this thread not to die)

Answers to FAQ's like

>What's the best game to start with
>What order should I play the story mode in
>difference between DW,SW, and WO?
>Where can I read up on the real world counterparts of the various characters?

Stuff like that I suppose.

>>164522182
Go away, Cow Cow.

>>164522293
I see.

>What's the best game to start with
So for DW series, the best games to start would be either 5 or 7, since they introduce characters a lot better than other games, avoid 6. For SW, either 2 or 4, for the same reason, avoid 3 and 4-II. For ROTK, either X for the roleplay or XI for the grand strategy.

>What order should I play the story mode in
For DW5 just go withever whoever looks cool would be best, there's a list of who to play to unlock all the characters the fastest on gamefaqs, I'll look it up and added it in later. For DW7, go with whichever kingdom, but save Jin for last. SW2 is the same with DW5. SW4 should be the same with DW7, but save the Legend of Sanada and Legend of a land united last.

>>164523006

Yeah that's a good base, if anyone else has any good questions that should be added to the pastebin feel free to chime in.

Maybe

>What are the warriors games about?

Alot of people get the wrong idea because of modern media dismissing them as buttonmashers, so it might be good to explain why we like them

>>164523006
(cont)

>difference between DW,SW, and WO?
DW is set in the turbulent years towards the end of the Han dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history, while SW is in the warring period of Japan. And WO is a massive crisis crossover between the 2 series, and in WO3 case, even feature characters from other series.

The core gameplay is the same, you mash square most of the time and occasionally triangle or circle. DW has more playable characters, while SW offer more diversity between characters, and WO obviously is the mix of the 2.

>Where can I read up on the real world counterparts of the various characters?
Either google the characters and read their profile on wiki, or go to this guy's tumblr: https://the-archlich.tumblr.com/

>>164523340
I can think up some more questions

>If WO is effectively the mix of both DW and SW, then wouldn't it just be better to only play WO and ignore the other 2?
>What about the anime musou games? Are they good?
>Which game to play next after I've already played the reccomended games
>Any Three Kingdoms or Sengoku-related media that I should get into?

>>164523743

Yeah that's what the pastebin should look like, good work anon.

Started this in 184. War against the Yellow Turbans took a long time, time enough for everyone to get pissed off at He Jin and declare war on him. Eventually the three brothers were executed in battle, and He Jin decided to distribute territory to set up regional warlords, who also declared war on him.

Now were stuck facing off against ever other faction simultaneously. It's dead even, except for Sun Jian. He failed to take any territory from the Yellow Turbans, choosing instead to set out from Xia Pi and absorb the free cities around him, then declaring war on Han. After the Yellow Turban rebellion was crushed, He Jin moved him to Chang Sha. He promptly declared war again and built the Kingdom you see here. He's looking to expand into Shu it seems, and I don't think Dong Zhuo or Liu Zhang can stop him.

I was appointed Governor of Jiangling, but I could only delay Sun Jian's conquest by winning a few battles before he got his act together and invaded with all his might. Didn't help that we were attacked from behind by Liu Biao, either. Now I've been appoint Prefect of Lu Jiang, a small city without much development in the military or domestics. For the moment I'll have to focus more on Liu Biao and Liu Bei, but I'm expecting Sun Jian to be the real threat. Sun Ce killed my friend Dong He so I've sworn eternal vengeance, and half my friends were taken prisoner when we lost Jiang Ling. It looks like we have a ways to go.

>>164523817
Okay, I'll try to create a pastebin later tonight when I'm free and post again for opinions.

>>164523926
Get Ascension, it's basically an improved SoI, the only thing missing from it is the event gallery which was present in SoI.

>I heard there was a gamebreaking bug re: the AI and lumber in Ascension, is that true?
Not really a bug, but the AI is just too dumb to use the iron and lumber effectively in the game, also the AI in Ascension bound to do more stupid shit than in SoI for some reasons.

There's been a breakthrough in the north. Yuan Shao was slain by Gan Ning (who assisted me in the defense of Jiang Ling), and now the forces of the Han are carving up the domains of Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. Zhang Liao is joining in as well, attacking Yuan Shao Territory.

In the meantime, I've been transferred to be Prefect of Han Zhong. Looking forward to Fighting Ma Teng and Sun Jian.

>>164528581
I'm still not sure about how I feel on turning battle deaths on/off. On one hand it makes sense that someone in battle has the chance at getting killed, but if someone like Sun Quan dies it fucks everything up and the whole game will get derailed. I hope the PuK gives us more control over options like tuning the death rate or options on who is allowed to die a-historically.

>>164528581
>Yuan Shao was slain by Gan Ning
He did it, the absolute madman.

>>164529134
The death rate in 13 is really high for some reason. In other instalments, I'd be able to go through the game with only a handful of characters being killed, but in 13, almost every other battle is a bloodbath.

Another coalition has formed against He Jin, who was given the title of King after he subjugated the forces of the Yuan family and Liu Bei. Now Sun Jian is leading 120k each against Zitong and Yuzhang. I've been tasked with going to Zitong's aid, but Ma Teng is sending troops to interfere. I assumed Yan Xing was also advancing against Han Zhong so I pulled back, but now I see he holding his position to block efforts to relief Zi Tong. He'll have to be cleared if the city is to hold.

Sun Quan dying is a good way to make things interesting, but I agree that if it happened to often it would spoil things. Haven't played enough to decide which way it goes.

No, retreat you fool. The distance between where you're fighting and Ma Teng's closest cities mean that Ma Teng's troops will always replenish and go back to reinforcement the battle faster than the rate you can kill them.

The best way to deal with Xi Liang is to send out a sizable decoy to hold the enemy at some faraway checkpoint, and then send another wave of troops on another route to swoop in and take the empty cities. Taking them head on won't work.

Impossible to know how it happened in "real life" given that historical records don't exactly state this stuff explicitly.

However, based on what the records do state, it seems likely that Liu Bei met Zhang and Guan at a relatively early age and worked together for a while, which is more plausible than three adults meeting at a tavern and immediately hitting it off while drunk.

It is also know that Liu Bei was running his little militia, most likely as a local police force/bully squad, for a while before the Yellow Scarves rebellion happened (private "security" groups were standard fare near the end of Han).

>>164551713
So, what you're trying to say is that Liu Bei used to be a gang leader before he started his military career? I thought he was just a sandal weaver.

Instead of working to get allies, try to get along with them enough to ask them for aids, being allies actually doesn't help that much and takes a lot of time and money.

Also, when one of your cities is heavily outnumbered, you deploy an army, and then withdraw them in almost immediately back into the city, time will still flow, but enemy won't be able to lay siege to the castle during that short time. Rinse and repeat until reinforcements come or the enemy runs out of supplies. It's cheap but it's pretty effective.

Hey there, /eagg/. The anon who was trying to come up a pastebin for the thread from earlier today. Here's what I've come up so far:

>What is /eagg/?
Most of the discussion in the thread is usually about Koei-Tecmo’s Musou series, mainly Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi, but due to similarities in gameplay, we sometimes discuss Capcom’s Sengoku Basara too so we can’t exactly name it Musou thread. And due to the settings of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors being the Three Kingdoms of China and the Sengoku period of Japan, respectively, the threads also discuss Koei-Tecmo’s Romance of Three Kingdoms and Nobunaga’s Ambition from time to time, so we can’t exactly call it Hack & Slash General either. So, we settled for the closest we could think of, East Asian Genocide General. Plus, ee-ay-gee-gee just roll off the tongue better than Edge and Ess.

>What’s the differences between Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi?
Dynasty Warriors has its story sets mostly during the end of the Han Dynasty and lasts through the Three Kingdoms period of China (around 184AD to 280AD). It offers more characters to play as but less varieties between characters compared to Samurai Warriors. Though with the latest instalment, some really crazy weaponries have been added in, like arm cannon, or rocket spear.
Samurai Warriors has its story sets during the latter half of the Sengoku period of Japan (roughly around 1560 to 1615). It has less characters than Dynasty Warriors, but the movesets vary a lot more. Though unlike Dynasty Warriors, which tried to revamp its gameplay during the 5-7 interval, Samurai Warriors has been playing it safe since 2, with the gameplay from the latest instalment, Samurai Warriors 4, being an update and more refined gameplay of 2.
Continuity isn’t important in these games, as each new instalment retells the same set of events, just in a different ways and with a few new twists here and there.

>>164560756
As for Warriors Orochi, it’s a massive crisis crossover between Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, and in Warriors Orochi 3 case, even features characters from different series. The gameplay is a mix between Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors with new elements like you play as a 3 member-team that can be switched instantly, instead of just 1 character. Unlike Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors where they are based on actual history and each new instalment retells the same set of events, just in a different ways and with a few new twists here and there, Warriors Orochi offers an original storyline that has an actual continuity.

>What’s the best game to start with?
Dynasty Warriors: Due to the sheer size of the growing cast, 83 playable characters as of Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires, either start with 5 or 7.
Dynasty Warriors 5, available on PS2, Xbox, Xbox360 and PC (Japanese only). Every character has the game has their own story with bits of narration being told by the characters themselves at the start and the end of each stage, so it would be the best introduction if you’re not familiar with the story of the Three Kingdoms. Be aware that Dynasty Warriors 5 is on the PS2, so its graphic and gameplay can be obsolete by today’s standard.
Dynasty Warriors 7, available on PS3, Xbox360, PC (Japanese only) and PSP (Japanese only). The game has the best story-telling the series has to offer, with the stories focus on the kingdoms instead of individuals. Some characters got sidelined but those that got focused on received lots of characterization. Plus, less characters probably would make it easier to remember who is who for those who aren’t familiar with the Three Kingdoms. 7 tried to revamp the gameplay and introduces weapon switching where you can take any 2 weapons onto the battlefield and switch them on the fly. It does have its share of problems like half of the roster being clones of each other though.
Avoid playing 6 if you could.

>>164560843
Samurai Warriors: Either start with 2 or 4.
Samurai Warriors 2, available on PS2, Xbox360 and PC. Similar to Dynasty Warriors 5, the game has stories for every playable characters in the game (except 2 characters, but they aren’t important in the overall narrative anyway) with narration being told at the beginning of each stage, so it would be the best introduction if you’re not familiar with the story of the Sengoku period. And just like Dynasty Warriors 5, it’s a PS2 game so its graphic can be obsolete by today’s standard, but it offers better gameplay than Dynasty Warriors 5 and has aged just fine. There’s a HD Collection on the PSN, but it’s Japanese-only.
Samurai Warriors 4, available on PS3, PS4 and PSVita. Similar to Dynasty Warriors 7, the game narrative focuses on clans instead of individuals. The writing quality varies from clan to clan, but it introduces the clans and overall chaotic situation of Japan during the Sengoku period just fine. It introduces a new attack string called Hyper Attacks, which are sweeping attacks for easy crowd control. Be aware that the game features some of the most linear stage designs in the series.
Nobody in /eagg/ has ever played 3 so we don’t know if it actually exist or not.

Warriors Orochi: The game does have a continuity, but you can start in any instalment just fine as each instalment has its self-contained storyline with only the villains being the one that ties them all, though it is recommended that you played at least one instalment of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, as the fun of a crossover is to see characters from different series interact with each other, that and the game doesn’t even try to introduce characters properly.

>>164560931
Romance of Three Kingdoms: If you like self-insert roleplaying, then go with X. If you just like your usual turn-based strategy game, then go with XI. Though XI is available in English on both PS2 and PC, X is only available in English on PS2. And keep in mind, even though they share the same title, each instalment actually has gameplay greatly differ from each other, so if you don’t like one, you can always try another.

Nobunaga’s Ambition: Sphere of Influence would be a great start. (I want to write more, but NA games doesn't actually offer much choices here)

It's the only NA game worth playing now, it's simply better in every aspect than other games in the series.

There's a Samurai Warriors 4-II on PC, isn't it the same thing with more characters?

>>164561830
I actually prefer Iron Triangle's gameplay over SoI, but IT is only available on PS2 whereas SoI is easily accessable through Steam so it'd be kinda difficult to convince others to go hunt for IT. And unlike ROTK X and XI where I can just say one focuses on roleplaying while one is the standard turn-based strategy, both IT and SoI only has ruler-based play. Telling how the 2 games differ would require a more in-depth review.

>>164562027
4-II is basically an XL without giving you the ability to mixjoy with the vanilla, it'd be a piss poor introduction to someone unfamilliar with the series imo.

Is it just me or is it easier to rack up kills in Samurai Warriors than it is in Dynasty Warriors?

>>164603926
I get crazy kills in WO3U

>>164603926
I think that, too. I think SW is more of the technical series whereas DW is more of the traditional series that had to work things out for the current format. On that note, how many peons you think we'll get for DW9 onscreen?

>>164541351
>>164554032
>>164603323
Where are these from?

>>164605779

How is SW more technical? It has the same gameplay as DW

>>164605779
Given open world, I presume it varies depending on location. At max, though, I anticipate about 6,000-15,000 at a time. Rough guess, though, I'm not so positive on those estimates, and that's still not counting Officers or anything.

>>164606532
Maybe at the base, but my experience with it says that Samurai Warriors requires a bit more precise strategy than Dynasty Warriors.

>>164606532
Samurai Warriors seems to have more of a flashy, stylish format, whereas Dynasty Warriors still keeps things grounded in reality (And I use that term loosely). I wish I could dash around a level in DW with the triangle button. No, really. That is a genius way to traverse and clear out crowds.

>>164606532
Haven't playeed 4, but every character in SW has their own set of special skills. Which have far more versatility than EX attacks due to not being locked to a specific combo. Plus there are 3 different moveset styles (special, normal, charge) instead of just a single one used across the board.

>>164606994
You sort of can. With a pike in dw8 you press square square triangle for a sort of forward moving windmill

>>164607445
You mean the Cross Pike's dash cancel thing? IO use that to chain a bitchload of attacks together, especially Lingqi's EX attack where she gives herself a buff.

well, the first two pictures are from Honey Select by Illusion. A glorified character creator & poser.

I expect about 50-200 in a camp, around 300-1000 at a town or a providence, and at a large capital, from 2000-5000. If day/night plays a part, could the KO counter reset at the turn of midnight?

>>164611303
I would presume there'd be a sort of behind-the-scenes trigger or flag or something that lets the game know when a battle starts or ends without interrupting the Player, so battles could go for as long as there are a certain concentration of opposing forces in one area. Like, if you've just got 50 scouts and 4000 soldiers, it's not a battle, so the KO counter wouldn't even show up, but if it's two armies going at it it'd be different.

I REALLY don't think it will be "open world". I think it will be operated into into instanced provinces and within the provinces it will be open world with the various roads cities and commanderiea within that province.

>>164614221
That makes sense, but I'd love to travel seamlessly through the land.

>>164614221
Yeah, people are reading too much into it like usual. This is KT after all

>>164614221
Yeah, this is the most plausible "open world" I can see Koei doing, but there are people who would just say that that's not "open world"

By the way, anybody know how they handled the open world aspect in DQH2?

Do any of the weapons in SW4 or DW8 have the moveset of Yoshitsune Minamoto from WO3? I really liked his light gauntlets and I would like to know if theres anything like that in more recent games

I would prefer if DW9 didn't become a Lu Bu simulator.
I feel that open-world can really have a huge impact on how the story plays out. In previous games you would just hop from battle to battle, but I feel that open-world would tell a more continual story. For example Lu Meng's invasion of Jing could be told in an open world style with sailing down the Yangtze in boats with the occasional skirmish to defeat Guan Yu's watch guards which can affect the strength and preparedness of the final battle against the guard at Nan Commandery. KT probably won't do this because their KT, but it would be nice for a difference in story telling.

Not neccessarily retarded, it's just that in spite of being emperor, Liu Shan really acted more as an observer than anything else. He appointed people to important posts and left them to their own devices. Sometimes this worked out well, sometimes it was a disaster. I don’t think he was a bad person, and I really don’t think he was as stupid as many sources portray him. Really, I think that he was a man who knew his limits. He knew that he wasn’t qualified to run a country and let other people – ones he thought were capable of it – do that for him. That’s not inherently a bad thing, and the people he selected were often very skilled. But when he put this power in the wrong hands and did nothing to correct his mistake, it all fell apart. He remained too aloof from events, and when the country needed an emperor to step in, Liu Shan just wasn’t up to it.

I have never hate a female character in musou game so much until she got introduced.

Like imagine Shadow of mordor, a pretty shitty game, with all other elements of the game stripped except for the combat, but then even the combat gets stripped of features and it's reduced to spamming one button and one enemy type that gets knocked in the air with one hit and can't retaliate.

I've only played one musou, dynasty warriors 3, and they haven't evolved one bit since then.
