Well, Shamoke helped out in the battle of xiaoting, but that's about it; he wasn't much of a king (seeing as he only ruled "five valleys" in Wuling commandery) — and given its location (the same place that JIN XUAN, CONQUEROR OF WORLDS ruled, mind you), he may even be non-nanman. He's mentioned in Lu Xiun's SGZ bigraphy as a hu (non-chinese barbarian), but that also includes the qiang, xiongnu, xianbei, and wuhuan!
For thsoe who speak chinese (aka not me):
諸將皆曰：「空殺兵耳。」遜曰：「吾已曉破之之術。」乃敕各持一把茅，以火攻拔之。一爾勢成，通率諸軍同時俱攻，斬張南、馮習及胡王沙摩柯等首，破其四十餘營。備將杜路、劉寧等窮逼請降。備升馬鞍山，陳兵自繞。遜督促諸軍四面蹙之，土崩瓦解，死者萬數。備因夜遁，驛人自擔，燒鐃鎧斷後，僅得入白帝城。其舟船器械，水步軍資，一時略盡，屍骸漂流，塞江而下。備大慚恚，曰：「吾乃為遜所折辱，豈非天邪！」
Achilles Fang translated the bolded part as this:
“…he [Lu Xun] attacked [the Shu-Han troops] with fire and destroyed them. With this one stroke the thing was accomplished. He [Lu Xun] beheaded Zhang Nan 張南, Feng Xi 馮習 and Shamoke 沙摩柯, King 王 of Hú 胡, as well as others and destroyed over forty of their encampments.”
Don't worry, when Destiny of Jin Xuan comes out I will DEFINITELY release my new stuff for everyone to use. I just don't want someone to swoop in and snatch my new stuff before my DoJX comes out! :paranoid:
Bearded Lu Bu is doable, even for Guan Yu levels of beard; it's just that in the pics you showed, beardless Lu Bu look better. *shrugs*
Nah, just go with Mr. Clean. And to think, you don't even have to put that image on a bottle…
As for Sun Ce, keep in mind that he gained his position at the age of 16 and died at the age of 25; he should be clean-shaven, as for at least half of his playable life he still wasn't old enough to get a full beard, and deserves to not have silly-looking peach fuzz.
…hard shadows just don';t fit in with the others, sorry.
Unless, of course, he paints half his face black, but…
You celebrate christmas but not HuoHu-mas? Heresy! XD
…also santa is facing left, which means that he showed the same type of loyalty Lu Bu showed when you first reached Yuan Shao. :Þ
Aha!
The differences: (1) stat changes and (2) every force is selectable now.
It tends to cause Yuan Shao (and/or sometimes even Cao Cao!) to crash and burn, whereas Kong Rong, Wang Lang, and especially Liu Yao are no longer guaranteed to utterly collapse.
…I'd submit the RoTK2 stats & names fix, but it's a RoTK2 mod not a DoaE mod…
[ultratiny]Also it seems almost nobody here played it…[/ultratiny]
If it comes out in 2012, it's eligible for Huo Hu Awards 2012.
Even if it comes out at 11:58 PM on December 31st.
As much as you like wade-giles, please remember that pretty much everyone else here uses pinyin (so it would be Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao for us, not Da Ch'iao and Shiao Ch'iao). Sure, some of us can translate between the two versions, but others cannot! XD
And yes, I realize that wade-giles matches the pronunciation better than pinyin, but seeing as both chinas decided to follow pinyin instead…
