October 9th. Taking advantage of the National Day holiday, the Athletic League has thoughtfully shortened the schedule, allowing wasteland enthusiasts to enjoy a round of the league during the long holiday. So when the long holiday passed and the fourth round of the league came to an end, there was a small gap in the schedule. The national war of Wasteland Company is scheduled to start on this day. This morning, many people got up early and waited in front of the game consoles, as if they were waiting for the opening of a new area. As soon as eight o'clock passed, all the major cities in the game were flooded with white light. After the white light passed, the preliminary tasks had already been completed, and the players who appeared at various airport terminals boarded the competition-specific aeroboats. These aerospace crafts carried them to the launch site in Noah, and then the spaceships were launched one by one, sending them into space It lasted for more than five minutes, which was completely a cutscene. Players only had to confirm if they chose It is inevitable to be able to watch the drama, whether you rush to the battlefield immediately after completing the mission, or you are not interested in the national war at all. Dozens of huge anti-gravity spaceships were activated and formed a long queue, like a string of bright pearl necklaces, flying into space in an orderly manner. Every player in each region, as long as they are outdoors, their field of vision It¡¯s so open that you can see it as soon as you look up. The national war has begun. This is a major event in the wasteland and must be of such a huge scale. Although players in the national server have been distracted a lot of energy due to various incidents. In the end, the number of people participating is far less than what the game company expected. . The number of ordinary players has been affected, and there are not many game media coming. But those who came here still tried their best to interview. A report was made quickly. In fact, there is no need to broadcast. According to the setting of the Wasteland Company, the carrying capacity of an anti-gravity spacecraft is 10,000 people. The total number of participating players can be roughly estimated by counting the number of huge spaceships in the sky that reflect sunlight. The number of full-level players participating in the China region is about 480,000, which is almost half the size expected by the game company to be at least over one million At this time, players from Japan and South Korea are the main players, and players from Australia, New Zealand, The Japanese and Korean regions are supplemented by players from the Pacific Island countries and eastern Russia. Already entered the national war zone an hour ago. The final count of the number of participants in the war was 830,000. In addition to the technical and legal aspects, for the founding war. Time zones are also a big issue. It is necessary to artificially make up for the inconvenience caused by time difference through settings and other methods. The current plan adopted by the Wasteland Company is the simplest and most direct one adjacent time zones and adjacent strongholds. The Japan-Korea region was the first to start the founding war, an hour later. China Region opens. The strongholds are adjacent; after another hour, the Southeast Asia region opens, just on the other side of the China region; after an hour and a half, it is the Indian region, and a little further back, then Europe and Africa, and finally Latin America and North Americaand so on. ?Some people may be surprised that it is distributed like this. Are the countries at the two extremes destined to have no chance of confrontation? Unless all the surrounding countries are defeated. Insert the entire map? Absolutely not. In order to solve this problem, Wasteland Company carefully created a map with no beginning and end. The National War started so hastily that many settings and details were not perfected. Therefore, we can only adopt some alternative methods. These alternative methods are unique and cannot be copied, but they are enough to at least start the first national war. As for the future we will talk about it later! The first national war map in the history of the wasteland - City in the Sky. It is a giant cylindrical man-made city suspended in space. It has a diameter of 100 kilometers and a height of 100 kilometers. If it is cut and flattened from one side, it will be a rectangular map of more than 30,000 square kilometers of 100x¦Ð. Equivalent to the size of several new districts. But that's not all The giant city is suspended in space, powered by a core of nuclear energy, cosmic rays, and energy from the sun. The huge cylinder slowly rotates around the center of the cylinder to generate centrifugal force and simulate the effect of gravity, allowing people to walk freely on the inner surface of the cylinder. "However, the inner surface with a diameter of one hundred kilometers is only the first layer. The entire cylinder with a diameter of 100 meters is not hollow, but almost solid. Under the outer surface, there are sub-surfaces, and under the sub-surface, there are sub-surfaces The layer-by-layer structure is like an onion, or like a skyscraper on the earth, from the outer surface, all the way to The main axis center line of the Sky City. ? ?? is the entire city in the sky. If all these spaces were spread out, there would probably be hundreds of thousands or even millions of square kilometers! Players from each region were carried by anti-gravity spaceships and flew all the way from their respective maps to this place. Then they got into the damaged gap in the Sky City and put people down. After that, these spaceships did not go back, but stayed, assembled and spliced ??in place to form a city base. When the base was completed and the city defense appeared, the entire cutscene was considered over. The whole process is somewhat similar to the mission of returning to the ground at level 10. The difference is that there are no supply points in the wild here, and there is not even a basic rough map. Although from the outside, the Sky City looks neat and round, and seems to be easy to recognize. Once you get inside, you start to rotate with the fortified city, watching the towering ancient trees on the ground emitting fluorescence, and listening to the dark sound. In the forest, the beasts howl and the birds chirp one after another The environment here is not much different from that on the ground. It is even impossible to judge the southeast, northwest, let alone find the enemy's camp and start a war. The national war is not a war, but a protracted battle. The National War Zone is actually a brand new large map, but the rules of this map are somewhat special. It brings players from all over the world together to compete, and there are no overly powerful NPC forces. Players have to fight here for a long time, building bases, strengthening city defenses, weakening enemies, and enriching themselves by completing daily routines until they finally win the battle. As hundreds of thousands of players gradually settled down and began to walk around the main base, check various NPCs, and receive daily routines, a lot of unpublished information was gradually summarized and sorted out¡ª¡ª= First of all, the national war map is There is a fog of war similar to previous classic real-time strategy games. Players explore the map, draw the topography of the explored area, and send it to every player participating in the battle to know that this is a skill for players with surveying and mapping skills. However, even if the map is opened, it will only show the topography. Enemies will not be directly marked on the map unless there is someone nearby. Terrain angle, field of view distance, detection skill level, whether it can break through invisibility all of these will cause great differences in the intelligence within the detection range of different players. Second, although there are various daily tasks in the main city, from building roads, standing on bridges, felling trees, to skinning, tanning, mining and forging, there are all kinds of tasks, but the most profitable daily tasks are killing, killing Enemy, this is a national war after all! Third, why does the entire map have no borders at all as soon as we enter the Sky City, and it can¡¯t even show the southeast, northwest, and northwest. Players didn¡¯t know it at first, but as the exploration continued, they gradually understood it. After all, this is a national war, not a classic real-time strategy game. Although there is the fog of war and the map needs to be explored, the information displayed on the map is public to both sides. Because the people participating in the war here are ordinary people instead of programmed NPCs. Even if everyone¡¯s patriotism is very strong, there is not a single traitor among hundreds of thousands of people. There are live broadcasts, and reporters¡¯ aerial photography and live broadcasts from various angles and methods Intelligence cannot be hidden at all. The enemy¡¯s It belongs to you, and what belongs to you belongs to your enemy. In this case, as long as there are southeast, northwest, and the boundaries of the map can be distinguished, it will be easy to determine the location of the enemy. The national war that Wasteland Company wants is not a rampage and unreasonable battle between two armies, but a real war with a plan, offense and defense, and of course we must try our best to avoid this happening. Fourth, in order to ensure the fairness of the game, the difficulty level in the wild is quite high. Of course, it is not as abnormal as the third-level ban, but it is definitely stronger than the first-level ban like the master field, and it is basically the level of the second-level ban. Although there are many people participating in the battle, the unpredictable climate, super strong wild monsters, complex and changeable terrain, and the lack of supplies in the wild environment. Once dead, they can only be resurrected from the main base. These characteristics all make the wilderness very difficult. Exploration is quite difficult. So the first thing for players is to build the main base, gradually crack the control system of the Sky City through daily tasks, and suppress the monsters in the wild. In other words, as the level of construction increases, the strength of wild monsters will gradually decrease. Of course, during this process, the player¡¯s equipment strength and playing skills will also gradually improve through the training of wild monsters. When the decline and fall of one reaches a certain pointAt the critical point, the contestants will be able to leave the city freely. After that, all parties will have the possibility of large-scale outdoor encounters. Before that, they can basically only develop independently. Otherwise, the brigade rushed out of the city to rush to the local camp. Before he reached the destination, he was eliminated by the monsters halfway. It would be embarrassing and this construction is the same progress in the world players! Because everyone is cracking the defense system of the same layer of the Sky City, because this is necessary to offset the injustice caused by the difference in entry and exit time. So the first day of the National War was spent with everyone in full swing of construction and in full swing of siege outside the city, until
