Game rules have been distributed.
"Everyone is randomly assigned an initial territory, and you will become the illusory master of the territory for three hundred years. The territory will be eliminated, the government will be overthrown by the people, or it will be completely merged under the command of other lords. After the game is over, the territory will be eliminated. Scores are made on five dimensions: population, prosperity, technology and culture, military strength, and territory area, and the highest score during the game is taken. The top 300 with a total score advance."
"The top ten players in the previous game will get the best initial territory in this game."
Wu Hui found that all his combat abilities had been stripped away, and all he could control was the body of a city lord. Surrounded by NC villagers with very dull faces.
Wu Hui is familiar with things like management and construction. This game is exactly his strength.
You can see the available population on your hand. Well, it seems like enough officials are needed to get a larger population. Officials will also report data with unknown accuracy due to differences in loyalty and ability.
However, the current population is only about twenty, so you can count them all.
Arrange to farm the land first, and take two people out to explore the resources at the same time. The process is expedited. The territory was indeed good enough, close to the mines, fertile land, and close to the confluence of rivers.
At the beginning, there was nothing much to say, just farming, mining, cutting down trees to build houses, recruiting refugees to increase the population, and encouraging reclamation and fertility. By the way, explore other surrounding gathering places to see if there are other players or NCs.
Don’t rush to fight, start doing business first. Make some money, hire craftsmen, intellectuals, open a school...
It is still a village and there is not much that can be done. There are many resources here, including pastures and fishing. Although the mining area is not a gold mine, the iron ore and coal mines are also very good.
About a few months into the game, Wu Hui's village's population reached fifty. He relied on minerals to exchange for food from surrounding towns and reclaimed a large amount of land. All villagers are overloaded with work.
However, on harvest days, the village's granary is full, and the income from farming on this land is really high.
The next step is to continue recruiting and expanding, and most importantly, building the army. Maybe one day the NPC or other players will focus on this place and start grabbing it. Wu Hui must prepare as soon as possible.
The game lasts for several months, and the player's senses are probably less than one hour. But you can control all kinds of things very well, which is a wonderful feeling. Well, the player is not actually the city lord, but the ruler. In this case, the ruler must be replaced.
Whether it is bloodline inheritance or abdication election. As long as it is within the framework you set and is not violently overthrown, it is not considered an out.
Of course, because the rulers are controlled by players, and players have no selfish desires and just want this power to develop. Therefore, the essence of all political systems in this game is the same-sage dictatorship.
He is a dictator who is dedicated to the public good, has super abilities, and concentrates power in one person's hands.
Simply put, it is a perfect political system that only exists in theory. It is impossible to appear in reality, but it is quite interesting to write it into literary and artistic works or reflect it in games.
Well, it can’t be said that it only exists in theory. Maybe artificial intelligence can do this in the future?
This is the case with business simulation games, and Wu Hui has played many of them. And this kind of game that is closer to the real world and has very complicated situations is exactly what he is good at. After all, Wu Hui has rich business and construction experience in both games and reality.
Become a prime minister, be a prince, be a city lord. Wu Hui has very rich experience in governing.
About the third year into the game, he turned the village into a town of nearly a thousand people. At the same time, he also established a trade relationship with the city-state next door. He paid tribute from time to time. He secretly began to figure out the specific situation of this city-state and bribed the city gate defenders.
At the same time, a militia team of nearly a hundred people was formed, spending half the time training and half the time working. From time to time, they would go out to hunt together or attack bandits.
The population needs to continue to expand, officials need to be cultivated, the army needs to be trained, and the city-state needs strategies.
After slowly developing for more than ten or twenty years, this small town should be able to develop into a city with a population of tens of thousands. But it was still too slow for Wu Hui. He planned to train an army, disrupt the city-state next door, and then enter it as a mercenary to help fight, and finally occupy the magpie's nest.
Well, he played this set in the night game. It is also a bit close to Liu Bei entering Sichuan. However, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang needed mercenaries when they encountered external conflicts. Wu Hui planned to take the initiative to provoke internal conflicts among the enemies so that they would need mercenaries.
Since the current exploration range is still limited, there is no trace of other players. It's good to grow slowly.
Three hundred years is a very long time. If you climb the technology tree in the right direction, if everything goes well, you can reach the steam age or even the early electrical age.
Now, Wu Hui observed that the surroundings were still in a city-state era between the Greek city-states and the Spring and Autumn Period.
I just don’t know what the overall situation in the world is like.
In today's era, let alone global maps, it is not easy to even understand the situation of surrounding city-states. Road construction is essentially non-existent and messaging is appallingly slow.
So this is indeed a good time for players to cover their heads and develop.
At least for the first hundred years, there will only be small-scale player battles. In the second hundred years, there may be players who can build an empire like the Han Dynasty and Rome.
If it can reach that level, it will be considered overthrown or eliminated. The score can definitely reach the top 300.
But things like snowballing must be done slowly. First, you must have a good foundation. A large part of the reason for Rome's final collapse was that it expanded too fast and its base was diluted. Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire had the same reason.
China can continue because it has been slowly expanding since Xia, Shang, Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and then unified. Only in this way can it be preserved in subsequent impacts. Of course, there are also geographical reasons. new
In short, everything is accidental, but the laws behind it are indeed inevitable.
The tenth year of game time. Wu Hui finally got his wish and took control of the city-state with a population of 50,000. He began to implement various policies and continued to develop relying on the rich local resources. He launched waterwheels, developed iron-making technology, and domesticated horses. Develop trade routes.
If there is a real-time ranking, we can see that Wu Hui's development speed is currently the fastest.
It's just that these 50,000 people need to be digested and managed carefully, and then we can start to deal with the surrounding players.
