Seems like Tao Qian had a son named Tao Shang. >_>
Almost done with Chapter 3, Sun Jian was a decent challenge, though I lost nobody on my team. I'm at level 12 or 13, I believe, and with Zhou Yu's meat shield we're sort of boosted high. Scorch FTW.
I expected all of Yuan Shao's family to be able to level up. Seems like it's not the case for Yuan Tan. Maybe you can boost his strength a bit and give him minor level-ups?
I've gone through Chapter 2, beat Lu Bu fairly easily with Scorch. Beat Chang An at level 10, and I got that dude with the really long name. Uh… ZhouYu Renmng or something? I thought he was supposed to be Zhou Yu, styled Renming. >_> Anyway, put Yuan Tan in the billeting, my party consists of:
ZhouYu Renmng
Liu Bei*
Yan Liang
Guo Tu
Wen Chou
Maybe you should raise Zhang Bao and Zhang Jao's intelligence just a tiny bit, 144 INT for Zhang Bao seems somewhat unfitting. Though it is just a start, it might be an easy boost for new players, as long as the second chapter is difficult enough. I got crushed by Lu Bu, so I'm going to go get myself a Scorch (Ye Huo). Though I am afraid Li Ru and Cai Yong will use Douse too many times.
Nice job, I've burned through Chapter 1 really quick. You know, with the high troop count and a variety of great officers, it's actually fun and moderately easy at the same time. So far so great, though I did chuck Liu… Pi? back in the billeting after he served his Han Zhong part. Yeah, too scared to attack Qing Zhou head on. At Level 7 myself, beat Hua Xiong and Si Shui, and am going to hit Lu Bu now. ;)
Aw I'm still in Shu. Do you like to play video games LYS? XD
It's sort of weird how NONE of the party at the end are part of Dong Zhuo's army. 3/5 are Wei, 1/5 Shu, and the final 1/5 is some odd old sorceror dude. >_>
Short post, trip to Shu.
I've encountered Cao Cao. 10,000+ troops. Same STR/INT. An Sha. AN SHA. A.N. S.H.A. Argh I hate you Cao Cao. :P The original Lu Bu killing battle was actually pretty easy, but this, this is really damn hard. It felt so great seeing Cao Cao die before my eyes saying his life was an essay in betrayal. MWAHAHA. Die Cao Cao. I also ran into several other Shu generals, eventually had to Gullwing back to Chang Sha to go to the inn and to Gui Yang to save before continuing on again. Smoke pot…
Finished Chapter 5.
I remember the Jin Xuan battle from the original DoaE as one of the easiest battles in the game, just like Ma Yuan Yi from Chapter 1. But here, Wei Pin (no idea who that is) and Kuai Liang are way mightier than Jin Xuan and Wang Lei. Pin with his 200+ STR and Lei with 200+ INT, thank goodness it's only the two of them. I did recruit Kuai Liang I think, or at least tried to, just for the sake of removing him from the random encounters. Then I went to Chang Sha.
Gee, Liu Qi was right. "This castle will be very difficult to conquer." First of all, Liu Qi has An Sha. AN SHA. At Chapter 5. At Jing Zhou. An Sha. In case you didn't hear me correct, I repeat. An Sha. That's spelled A.N. S.H.A. Yeah, that's right. The thing that can kill you in one blow. And Lu Bu falls for it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I thought he was supposed to be non-An Sha-able? Anyway with his 55 INT he died on the second round, had to revive him. And other than Liu Qi there's Huang Zhong, beastly once again, and I think you lowered Wei Yan's STR? And Huang Zu isn't too much of an easy kill either.
But I made it through, battle wasn't as hard as Ji Zhou in my opinion, but still pretty difficult nontheless. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are good additions to my party, especially Zhong, though both are unfortunately unable to level up. Oh well, I assume it's part of not being plot-related. So I go on to Gui Yang, to Cai Mao's "offer you a sleeping quarters" thing. Well, that battle was actually easy! After all that I've gone through, it was honestly a sort of break for me, with no big threat.
The last castle, was it Wu Ling or Ling Ling… LOL Liu Zong doesn't even have a portrait? It's just all black. :P And Liu Biao has An Sha. Again. >_> Damn. But oh well, got over that castle. Encountered Pang Tong on my way to Gui Yang, the same Pang Tong with 7003 soldiers or something, no big change to that battle. Still difficult, but quite managable with a party of several heavy hitters and power pills. His 240 INT doesn't really match Jia Xu's 245, but I have to stick with it as Xu left just then at Gui Yang. WHY OH WHY?
Ma Liang and Ma Su, still Ma Liang and Ma Su, were just… not really content with them. Su levels up, but he has just decent stats, and Liang has a 230 INT that's better than Li Ru but on the other hand he doesn't level up. Anyway, got Zuo Ci, who replaces Zhuge Liang. LOL He has 10 STR. That's even lower than Liu Chan! As well, his 250, NOT 255 INT won't give him Jin Xian, I know that. I've been playing DW5 today with Zuo Ci, one of the two strongest weapons in the game, and here I get 10 STR. LOL!
Awesome chapter once again, with great recruits. (You indeed should boost Li Ru a bit, he's not quite suitable for the party at times.) :D
Oh yeah, and Tiger Wang's still there!
Finished Chapter 4.
Noticed that you haven't changed any portraits here other than the Yuan brothers, changed to a blue color. Guo Si was a great addition to my party, once again too bad he doesn't level up. Bo Hai was pretty OK, no extremely difficult enemy officers other than the 1k+ troop count, which had existed in the original DoaE. And then I got Jia Xu. OMG, the best recruit so far. 245 INT, 1k+ troops, as well as STR that surpasses other strategists. Why does he have to leave later…? D:
Anyway, Xu Shou's fortress was the polar opposite of Bo Hai, with Yan Liang and Wen Chou continuously heavy hitting me. And Lu Bu always gets hit with whatever tactic Xu Shou throws. Gotta do something with his intelligence, it sucks. But thank God they're recruitable. I indeed have them both, but I honestly suggest making Liang and Chou unrecruitable, since they're… Yan Liang and Wen Chou? I mean, it's what you did to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Chapter 2, why not here? And with Liang and Chou existing, it means two of the plot-related officers will just stay out until the entire party reaches a troop count way over Liang and Chou, far into Jing perhaps.
At Guang Zong joins Gongsun Zan. He makes me just forget about Guo Si. 210 STR and 190 INT, along with Zhao Yun's pretty face :D. Just love him right now, he's practically great at attacking and casting tactics, and he's a heavy hitter that doesn't get hit with every single tactic (LU BU).
Ji Zhou was something to remember. Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Zhang He, Ju Shou, and Cao Cao. Of course, we've met Shao, Shu, and Cao previously, all overpowered supermen in some way. And Zhang He, only 1 STR behind Yuan Shu's 220, with Ju Shou's overpowering INT. D: Usually there should be an easy kill among the enemy ranks, but this time it's just… overwhelming. And fun. Yeah, I had previously killed off Yuan Shu, eliminate him. I died once or twice, but in the end I succeeded in wiping out the enemy army and getting Yuan Shao's head. Ji Zhou was certainly the best battle so far.
Only one typing suggestion. Yuan Shao shouldn't say "You killed my brother" at Ji Zhou, but instead he should say "You defeated my brother." This is because while sometimes you indeed can choose to kill Yuan Shu, sometimes you choose not to. And when Shao says "You killed my brother" and Shu's just there right beside him it's sort of… weird.
Anyway great job once again on this chapter, on to Chapter 5.
Chunyu Qiong and Lu Yi should be recruitable, no need to keep them away from the player. I probably would never try and get them anyway.
And by Yuan Shao leading the coalition, I meant that I meet Yuan Shao in the burnt Luo Yang, near where Zhang Cen (I believe) is standing. He says he's the leader of the coalition, but apparenly he's an ally? That's what I meant. He's supposed to be an enemy. Correct me if I'm wrong.
As well, almost forgot, Fan Chou has like 220 STR, and yet he has a strategist's portrait? And I don't think Huo Hu's powder line really suits a heavy fighter. Just saying.
Chapter 3 finished.
I see that you haven't boosted the officers' stats here too much; well, at least not that much compared to what I just got through in Chapter 2. Just a bunch of guys with large troop counts here, is all. Well, other than Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, two beasts there. It's great that everyone's recruitable in this area, especially when I feel like using a meat shield when fighting Yuan Shu and the feared Cao Cao.
Only text suggestion might be changing Xu Yuan Zhi (a.k.a. Xu Zhe/Shu) to someone else, though I guess Shui Jing/Sima Hui can pretty much fit in as a neutral hermitish guy anyway. As well, instead of having Shui Jing say Fu Long and Feng Chu, thus referring to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, why not just have him say the names of the new ZGL and PT?
