Chapter 461: New Pattern of Plague(1/3)
In terms of "hard power" in the game, there is really no one that can compete with today's sixth-level Plague City. Even the seventh-level holy city of the human race, the City of Faith~
However, in terms of soft power
The biggest benefit brought by this new alliance is "funds"! A large amount of funds for alliance activities! Even so much that it made other allies restless for a while.
After all, these other old allies are all "made from scratch". There are some who have a certain financial background and are willing to invest large sums of money in the game. However, they are at the level of the Dark Lord. They also have to consider the balance of payments and the recovery of funds for subsequent development.
question.
There are many rich people in this world, but there are still not many who can close their eyes and throw eighteen million into the water. Therefore, although Plague City is developing rapidly, its expenses are not too large, even because
After Liu Yifei helped everyone get through the initial bottleneck quickly, they can now earn some income. This profitable territory is still very enviable nowadays when player lords are everywhere!
But the money earned belongs to each lord himself. They can choose to invest it in the development plan of the territory, but they will not give it to Liu Yifei for no reason~
It is true that Liu Yifei and Plague City helped everyone, but there was a cooperation agreement at the beginning, and everyone paid on the spot. It was an employment relationship, and there was no reason to add additional funds later.
However, these three new allies are not ordinary. Taken together, they have invested 60 million in "alliance arms funds" for the entire alliance!
Sixty million!!!
These are joint coins, not game gold coins!!!
At a glance, three owners suddenly jumped out who were so wealthy that they did not use money as money. Their development almost relied heavily on the other six old allies of Plague City. Naturally, they were a little worried that their allies' seats would not be guaranteed~
After all, if we compare our hearts, each family is obviously willing to see that they have such a powerful ally with a solid pocket.
The same alliance relationship. I am promoted by others, and my contribution to the alliance is limited. Although the "alliance leader" wants to set up a group army and so on, and he is very cooperative in dispatching troops and generals, but in the end this is not the same as others actually giving two
There is still a fundamental difference when tens of millions of "share capital" are poured into the alliance~
Twenty million United coins
There are so many lords in the Plague Alliance who can't even make up this amount, let alone having to spend such a large amount of money to "give" it to the alliance?
In this world, a rich person is not necessarily strong; but for a truly strong person, money is one of the necessary conditions!
For example, people like Liu Yifei who started from scratch and worked their way up, there are really too few of them~ They are heroes who were born by chance.
Let alone others, even if Liu Yifei is asked to go back and do it again now, he may not be able to guarantee that he can still be as successful as he is today~
For him, Plague City and the entire Plague Alliance to reach today's heights can be said to be a unique exception.
And if we look at other well-known player organizations or lord players in the world, they are almost all the results of crazy money spending.
How many young men without money are willing to hang out with this miserable boss?
How much money can be used to raise more and stronger mercenaries without money?
If you don’t have money, then you have fucking subordinates. If you want to arm others, why don’t you spend money?
You can't just say that if someone recognizes you and follows you, you still want them to buy supplies and equipment out of their own pockets, right?
This kind of thing does not belong to an "organization", it is called a "relatives and friends group"~
Moreover, even if it is a group of relatives and friends, there will be some public funds to support group activities.
Therefore, whether you have money or not, and how much money you have can be used as an important auxiliary factor in the game world to measure whether a boss is successful or powerful.
It does not account for the main reason, but it must not be ignored!
Three new allies. One family spends 20 million joint coins, and the total is 60 million!
With such a large amount of money, it is not impossible to build another super alliance~
Of course, it is not unconditional to use it to buy shares in the Plague Alliance.
The purpose of this 60 million advance investment has already been explained, "Alliance Arms Funds". It is used to prepare for the alliance's later foreign wars.
Invincible Heroes OL is a genuine "war strategy online game".
This attribute was questioned by many people during the first half year of the game's public beta.
After all, apart from the strategic map, this game looks like a single-player RPG mode, although it contains a lot of seemingly superfluous and weird settings.
However, now it seems that things are naturally different~
As the number of lord players continues to increase, the connotations of territory management and territory composition have been dug out by players one after another. The various fragmented settings in the world are finally connected together!
Looking at the large-scale ethnic battles that have broken out in various places, the theme of war has already emerged before our eyes. It is so clear that people can even smell the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke!
Now that the game itself has developed to a certain level, the average strength of the player class will also usher in a relatively gentle and calm development period after entering the third level period.
Then the shift of attention becomes inevitable!
In the early stage, everyone rushed for levels, then for equipment, then for various mercenary groups, guilds, etc., and even for territories. But what if everything reaches a development bottleneck?
The level can only be improved slowly, and the equipment is temporarily difficult to update. The mercenary group, guild and even the territory are relatively stable. What happens after everyone has found their own organization?
That is the arrival of the "era of large-scale player conflict"!
Especially now that there is even a personal pet system, which makes the player's individual combat ability stronger!
If you have the strength and don't show off for a while, it must be unreasonable and unreasonable~
If there is any trivial matter between players, especially between organizations, it is now extremely common in games to rush in and beat up a hundred or eighty good guys!
Large-scale wars around the world bring not only turmoil to the overall structure, but also impatience in people's hearts!
If the general environment is harmonious and peaceful, then everyone will subconsciously be unwilling to take action easily. However, if there are fighting and killing outside all day long, and a mighty army of tens of thousands of people sweeps back and forth, will the players still be able to live in peace?
?
He almost didn’t run around with his weapons behind the army all day long~
Someone jumps out to look for trouble?
Damn, just chop him!
And as this "war" mood continues to ferment for a while. Especially when the foundation of the player's territory becomes more solid, the "era of war" in which territories and organizations merge with each other will surely come!
And this time, this "war preparation fund" of up to 60 million is prepared for this matter~
In this war between Solna and the elves, Liu Yifei was lucky enough to grab an important position and master a "golden thread"! Not only did he not spend money to participate in the war, but he could also poach a large amount of benefits from consumers.
!
However, such a good thing will never happen every time, and it is even unlikely to happen next time~
And if it is a battle with player organizations, NPC forces will not even bother you~
Even though Liu Yifei is doing well in the Kingdom of Solna now, if a player similar to him comes to compete with him one day, everyone including Toradre will definitely stand by and watch~
Survival of the fittest is the only rule in this world. Toradere must also be willing to see the birth of a more powerful and effective assistant! Basically, as long as there are no "outsiders" to mess with it, Liu Yifei can only spend his old age. Ben fucks the enemy~
Since you are spending your own capital, income and expenditure are a critical issue.
If you are lucky, you can earn some money back. If you are unlucky, the cost of fighting is not small. Even the 60 million is not guaranteed to be used several times.
But no matter what, with this 60 million as a base, the Plague Alliance has the confidence to spend huge sums of money!
As for the conditions for spending this money?
Very simple~
The first thing to do is to help the three new allies upgrade their territory to level three within half a month!
Or it may be delayed due to an accident, but you must at least be prepared to attack the third-level territory~and you must reach the third-level territory within three weeks at the latest!
Again~
This money is for the entire alliance, not for Liu Yifei’s Plague City family. Therefore, everyone must jointly supervise and manage it. If you want to use it, how much you want to use not only requires a detailed application, but also must go through a meeting within the alliance. Voting. In the voting system, Liu Yifei, as the strongest alliance leader, has the right to double votes, and the other lords have one vote per person.
Finally, the third article is that the alliance must hire a "war consultant" to improve the alliance's war command capabilities!
In fact, if we really want to fight a large-scale legion war, the problem of player commanders is a big problem that needs to be solved first!
It's just that the command system in this game is relatively complete, and the NPC generals are very intelligent. After the introduction of the "Lord Knowledge" system, some rare heroes will have commanding talents, allowing them to command battle formations. Explosive increase in ability~
As a result, the existence value of player commanders is somewhat weakened.
But this is only temporary.
As the territory continues to expand and the army continues to increase, NPC commanders must have their own shortcomings, that is, "their vision is too small."
It might be easier to lead an army and a city~
But if, like the large-scale cross-border battle faced by Solna this time, the war area involved is too wide, unless they are super strong men of the legendary class, how can ordinary NPC heroes take care of it?
But players are different~
There are many ways for players to exchange information: secret chats, emails, phone calls, etc.~
It can be said that as long as more manpower is sent to monitor the entire war zone, the player commander can master all intelligence information without leaving home. At the same time, he can command the army's actions at a higher level and complete amazing tactical coordination!
For example, in this trip to the underground world, Liu Yifei was distracted and took care of two battle situations at the same time, which reflects the importance of the player commander!
In the past, this question was not very necessary, and Liu Yifei, Xue Lan, and Yu Huangquan all had good battle formation command skills, so they just muddle along and ignore it.
But with the outbreak of a new round of large-scale battles and the beginning of the threatening video of the establishment of the "Anti-Cloud Group" issued by Emperor Aojian, the future war pattern will be much larger than before. A professional knowledge and even the actual war
Experienced senior commanders are necessary~
Xuelan has already met and approved this matter. The current intention of everyone in the alliance is to entrust a third-party intermediary to recruit a professional "battle commander" from the European and American markets.
To be continued...
