gah what bout guan xing and zhang bao don't they become playable after all they were more importent then xing cai
and i liked taishi ci in DW6 cause i hated the stupid duel clubs and loved his trident fighting style which resembeld keiji's from SW2
If they went solely by importance, we'd have exactly zero female officers. If you counted the novel, MAYBE there'd be one officer (Zhurong). Both of them turn off female fans, so they have to use a bunch of females (who historically didn't do much because ancient china was very male-biased) as playable officers.
And now the question for DW8…
…where's He Qi? He conquered more land than anyone else in Wu, yet since most of the land conquered was from the Shanyue, people ignore that.
And yeah, his DoaE stats would probably be 235 str, 195 Int, 135 Agi (or something).
sounds like a snide remark at his age with 135 agility and/or "peculiar" label he always gets in the ROTK series
and for some reason, DW8 Lu Bu looks like Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters?
After looking at all these awesome portraits, I was about to say something like:
"Man, it would have been so cool to live in an era when you could be such a bad-ass warrior, but then I stop for a moment and realize there wouldn't be any toilet paper…"
And then I checked wikipedia…
Quote:Although paper had been known as a wrapping and padding material in China since the 2nd century BC, the first documented use of toilet paper in human history dates back to the 6th century AD, in early medieval China. In 589 AD the scholar-official Yan Zhitui (531–591) wrote about the use of toilet paper:"Paper on which there are quotations or commentaries from the Five Classics or the names of sages, I dare not use for toilet purposes".
During the later Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), an Arab traveler to China in the year 851 AD remarked:
"They [the Chinese] are not careful about cleanliness, and they do not wash themselves with water when they have done their necessities; but they only wipe themselves with paper."
During the early 14th century, it was recorded that in modern-day Zhejiang province alone there was an annual manufacturing of toilet paper amounting in ten million packages of 1,000 to 10,000 sheets of toilet paper each. During the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644 AD), it was recorded in 1393 that an annual supply of 720,000 sheets of toilet paper (two by three feet in size) were produced for the general use of the imperial court at the capital of Nanjing. From the records of the Imperial Bureau of Supplies of that same year, it was also recorded that for Emperor Hongwu's imperial family alone, there were 15,000 sheets of special soft-fabric toilet paper made, and each sheet of toilet paper was even perfumed.
Dang… who knew? I'm not sure what the imperial family needed with so much toilet paper though… I guess if I was a member of the imperial family, always being threatened to be invaded by some other army or assassinated in some power struggle, I would be constantly taking a shit in my pants too! :p
On second thought… maybe it wouldn't have been so awesome to live in that era…
