Officially entering the finals, the twelve people were directly separated from each other.
There was only darkness around Wu Hui. What was in front of him was a glowing screen, which seemed to be a map.
Thirty-six circles are randomly distributed on the vast black screen. There doesn't seem to be much difference between circles. Except for the only one marked with an arrow, it clearly represents Wu Hui himself.
Wu Hui frowned slightly, waiting for the rules of the game to be released.
Finals, Starry Sky Games.
The rules are as follows:
There are a total of thirty-six planets in the galaxy moving in disorder. The position of each planet changes randomly each round.
Including the card player, each of the thirteen players occupies a planet.
Each planet has fifty points of defense. When more than fifty points of damage are received in one round, the planet will be destroyed. The defense points of the planet can be increased through cards.
After the planet where the player is located is destroyed, he will be eliminated from the game.
The player who survives to the end will win.
Each planet will produce two special cards and three regular cards. The player's planet can directly obtain the produced cards, or plunder the cards produced by other planets.
The three conventional cards are defense, purchase and attack.
Each round, the number of each type of regular card on each planet +1.
Everyone gets an exploration spacecraft, an annunciator, and an observer. You can choose to use one of them each turn.
How to use the exploration spacecraft: Use it on any planet. The exploration spacecraft will go at a speed of 1 distance per round. If the planet is not occupied by other players, all the cards produced by the planet will be brought back. If the planet is occupied by another player, you lose the exploration ship and the other player gets the exploration ship. If the planet is destroyed by an attack when the exploration spacecraft arrives at the planet, the exploration spacecraft will also be destroyed. 33
Signaler: Sends out any clear text broadcast signal. The propagation speed of the signal is 2 distance per round. Can be received and cracked by anyone. The other party can know the direction of the signal source but cannot know the specific distance.
Observer: Use it on any planet to observe its properties. You can get information such as the type of cards produced by the planet, whether there are players, whether it has been attacked, etc. However, the observed information will be delayed by distance/2 turns.
The special card produced by Wu Hui's planet is hidden for two turns and produced one. There is also an explosion that produces one after three turns.
In this game, communication and cooperation are very difficult. Although the enemy only has one card player. But you have no idea what planet he is on. As for communication, it is actually a cost-effective thing.
The delay is large, it is unknown whether there will be an echo, and it will also expose yourself to a certain extent.
And everyone can decipher the plain text, which means that passwords and the like cannot. In this way, even if you communicate, you can't be sure whether the other party is a card player pretending to be a chess player.
So the most reliable way to win. Maybe it's to find a way to kill everyone else.
Hide yourself well and be ready to attack. This is a very common ecology in the universe. Due to the grand scale of the stars and the slow speed of light. If civilizations on different planets did not have the ability to communicate and travel at faster than light speeds, it would be easy for them to hide and attack each other.
It is also known as the Dark Forest.
This game is obviously a miniature dark forest. You don't know if there is anyone next to you or where the enemies are. Perhaps through observation a planet appears to be uninhabited. But that may be a thing of the past. It may also be that the other party is hiding.
Maybe there are also special cards that can move between planets.
Sure enough, it is very similar to the audition game. This is a game where all conditions are unknown and can only be assumed. It is countless times more complicated and there are too many possibilities that need to be considered. No one knows what will happen at the end of the game.
Well, at the beginning, use the purchase to hide one, and then use the observer on the nearest planet. The disordered motion of galaxies seems to be gradual, and it may be possible to calculate it, but there are too many unknown conditions, and it will take at least a dozen rounds to calculate it clearly.
Not only that, I don’t know if changes in the map will also follow the upper limit of this information transmission speed. If so, then it would be impossible to calculate the motion trajectories among the thirty-six celestial bodies.
After all, the amount of interaction change between three celestial bodies is very large, and a small error will eventually be magnified countless times in a chaotic system. Thirty-six celestial bodies, that...
Calculation requires energy, and this level of calculation has exceeded Wu Hui's ability.
Maybe only the devil can do it. A poker player, if he does not cheat, collects data and calculations from scratch, and it will definitely take more than ten rounds to complete the work.
Well, you don't need to make long-term and precise predictions, but make rough calculations in the short term. This is fine for Wu Hui, and I believe that it is fine for others.
At least you can roughly guess whether a planet is approaching or moving away from you. Or which direction to move in.
After everyone read the rules and thought about countermeasures, this game, the starry sky game between card chess players, officially began.
Each round has ten minutes for players to make decisions. In the first round, everyone should choose to observe their surroundings. If you are lucky, you may be able to see directly whether there are people on the surrounding planets.
But some people are not sure whether the other party is an enemy or a friend. And after you discover him, you don’t know if he has discovered you.
You don't know if he will attack you, and he doesn't know if you will attack him. Well, this is the famous chain of suspicion. Because of the difficulty of communication, this chain is difficult to eliminate, and in the end it is easy to lead to a situation of attacking each other first.
With such a long distance, it may be too late for you to notice the other party attacking you.
But Wu Hui is very sober. He knows that the only enemy is the card player. So don't attack easily. Of course, since it is impossible to determine who is the card player, it may be necessary to kill everyone else in the end.
This is a game that seems difficult just by looking at the rules. Every move you make will reveal your whereabouts. Everyone is trying their best to hide. I don’t know how many people, like Wu Hui, thought of the most reliable way to win.
Therefore, once exposed to the starry sky, it can be directly attacked and killed by many parties.
At the end of the first round, Wu Hui explored the planet closest to him. The special card produced by this planet is one every three turns. and attack source produce one each round.
The planet is uninhabited.
Some people died, but not completely...
