Downloaded this the other day, got stuck in the "punching a dude" tutorial, although alt-tabbing fixed this. Then got stuck in the "press M for map" part, alt-tabbing fixed it, too. Currently I'm stuck in the "send your guys to raid the enemy base" bit of the second map because the enemy general won't appear.

Does this game get any better after I manage to get past the tutorial? I really want to not-M&B. Slashing above the heads of infantry really brought up memories.

Man, my spearguys are horrible at actually killing things. I pretty much have to run in and help them murder things with an axe while they tie enemies up forever.

I only unlocked the spear guys to get the long Lance to poke horses before the rider can even hit me or stab people from 2nd/3rd row. very useful secondary weapon. My dudes and I are going full axe berserker otherwise as it seems only metal offers good protection against that and metal seems pretty much nonexistent at tier 1 to 3 where I mostly play.

Tried this yesterday and i really enjoyed it since i'm a M&B fan.
Started as a roman leading chinese troops, makes total sense.
The only downside is see (i have only tried conquest mode) is just the fact that to me it seems just a rush forward and pick the points rather than a tactical game. It's probably just my bad and i should study roman strategy

I thought so too, but there is always a recruit point at your base, and depending on the points on your flank, retreating from a battle, regrouping and re-attacking is a valid option and has won me a few battles. Something that is impossible in the other area-type games I play, like War Thunder or other F2P tank games, cause I like tanks and medival weaponry.... turns out, I'm also fine with ancient chinese weaponry.

At least if all of those are really weapons of the time, otherwise I'm fine with whatever nice weaponry they collected from whatever time and or place.

It does, for some reason the tutorial in particular is a mess. I believe the plan is to disable it for now, but you must've missed that window.

What's the difference between an elite and a non-elite unit? Also, matchmaking does not take into account your gear, just your unit, right?

Oh, actually that make take a little longer than I thought. Still too low level to actually join.

Edit: Oh, by the way - How do you actually select a different formation? I see the list when I press f4, but I'm not sure how I use any of them.

AFAICS the Elite status means you have everything unlocked for that unit.

Matchmaking is kinda wonky imo, I get put with people of quite varying levels in PVP and PVE. Maybe 5 levels in the difference v0v

Maybe it's a population/server population thing?

Hit detection on horseback is awkward and the angling of attacks/blocking makes me mad. Enjoying the game a lot though so far!

You cycle through the list of formations by tapping f4 and just leaving one selected will activate it.

Oh and they're tied to your adjutant so if you can't use any it means your adjutant doesn't have any formations for your troop type.

For the wu berserker problem, shu troops with shield wall seems to do pretty well since the wu berserkers will tire their selves out hitting shields. They don't break them very well.

I hit real wu beserker nirvana today and it's awesome. Yangzhou Sailors *obliterate* everything else at that tier (or maybe nobody else bothers using troop specials?): I've been regularly pulling 40-50 kills per game and they really leave you a lot of space to focus on enemy players.

2. Halloween-themed Quests
Two newly added tasks: Halloween Surprise and Halloween Carnival!
3. Halloween-themed Items
Three newly added Halloween pumpkin heads which can be obtained through accomplishing tasks or purchasing in the store.

Balance Adjustment

General
Charge is an efficient way of breaking the standoff of a battle, but it’s more powerful than necessary. So we adjusted the Charge effect to make it less influential in the battle while still able to exert its impact.
Charge CD is increased for another second.
The collision effect of Charge is lowered.
The charge damage of hammers and axes is decreased by 10%.

Soldier
The ranged capacity of Bingzhou Heavy Cavalry is decreased by 10%.
1-4 level soldier 's catapult ability has been removed
1-4 level soldier add some ability according to their force


BUGs Fixed

PVE interface cannot show soldiers’ ammo.
No camera shake effect when hit on the head by ranged weapons.
Deduct the score even when Cao Chun and Cao Ren attack one another in Parry Talent.
The cheers anomaly in tutorial.
Hitting target anomaly in Specialized Training - Archery .
General name anomaly in battle disposition and TAB interface.
Challenge fails to finish normally or restore position due to high ping.
Increased the score of Guan Yu, Cao Chun and Cao Ren in Parry Talent.
Score anomaly in Challenge.
Data anomaly in Career.
Try to fixed English input method anomaly

Input Method

Sorry about the inconvenience caused by input method anomaly!
For Chinese windows 7 operating system: if stuck, please press shift.
For Windows 10: we do not recommend you to enter the game under Wubi input method since it easily leads to progress jam.
If you enter the game under other input methods and still meet such problem, please switch by pressing ALT+Table.

About client Install location

We suggestion you do not install the client with non English catalogue

Operating systems

We suggestion any 32bit Operating systems do not open DX11, this will use up more computer memories

Adjustment

Skip the tutorial
We do not suggest player skip the tutorial but you can do this now when you quit the battle field and choose skip tutorial, you still can’t skip it directly. Pay attention you can’t get the reward when you do this but you still can finish this and get the reward by choose the tutorial mode.

Able to jump to the upgrade line of equipment.
Tiger Knight differs from many other games. The equipment cannot be purchased
even though it’s visible before it is unlocked in the upgrade tree. It confuses our players as we noticed
from the feedback. So we added the Quick Check functions, by clicking the purchase
button in the market section, it jumps right to the upgrade tree, for leading the players to perceive
the way to obtain the equipment.

Splitting my Command time between Wu and Wei, gotta say I'm diggin Wei wei (heh) more right now though (currently T4 in both).

Every time I get into a T5 game, it's usually like 4 units of Wu sailors and 1 unit of something else. And when they make those dudes charge into my line of pikes, they die vuryvury fast.

Digging the metal armor from Wei. Most people bring stuff that hits leather/cloth. Not many dudes seem to bring crushing. So I take a lot less damage from most generals currently.

PVP mode is an absolute joke right now though. It's literally just 15v15 (or 20v20?) mosh pit where whoever stays in a zerg together more effectively wins. I unlocked the first 2 pvp EXPLOIT weapons, but I don't think I can grind the third. I don't have that kind of tolerance.

I enjoy the Siege mode quite a lot though. Lots of room for strategy. It also feels good sniping enemy generals with the ballistas and stapling them to a wall.

The sailors really benefit from a square formation/melee def formation or flanking. Something to keep in mind if you see a square formation of them coming is that they can power right through any pikes and spears and just annihilate them if the player times the multi-strike right.

I can't help but feel that the game's going to forever be scrublord pub matches in the early levels. Maybe once the initial rush wears off more people will get organized but right now people are more focused on grinding out new troop types and gear.
