So many people having an issue with having to babysiting the general, so I uploaded the full run of my latest run on Hero difficulty.

You can call me being petty on my part, but I just wanna show that if you did it right, you don't even need to stick with anyone in this battle.

Spoiler, Lu Bu did beat me in the first time. XD

It's amazing to see how easy the outcome of the final assault can be depend on how much allies you have. I hope that main game will be the same so I can replay each big battle to see how much outcome it has per each one.

AND HOLY HELL GUAN YU JUST WIPED ALL THE OFFICER IN THAT FINAL ASSAULT!!

I still don't like that I have to mash to cheer horse to increase the stamina, could dev please adding an option hold the button instead? XD

Also I just found out that if you stick with your troops, the amount if soldier in tactics will exceed the cap. Good reason to stick with them on final assault.

You can definitely tell morale plays a big part in how your allies/enemies perform, since typically Hua Xiong killing those generics drops your morale to the losing portion, which creates a snowball effect for the enemy officers to defeat your allies and keep dropping your morale.

Also nice for keeping Kong Rong alive, since he always gets himself killed attacking that base with 3 enemy officers xD

Good to see someone engaging with the morale mechanic instead of complaining about difficulty. Morale was completely useless in prior games.

yeah idk. if i dont rush to the generals side he dies. even if im beating everyone up everywhere else. if you're killing the people before they can get to him, thats still babysitting. its the same with every dynasty warriors game. your army will sit there and die, and you'll be the only one doing anything. of course i was playing on hero so idk if its different on the easier difficulties? morale was always supposed to matter but never really did. the way to boost morale was always to just beat up the bad guys, but whats the point of boosted morale if you still have to be the one to take everyone out.

whats different with this game is that if you keep people alive they will get special events that allow them to actually do things. so thats fun. looking forward to the full release, the demo definitely got my hopes up.

You shouldn't have to rescue Yuan Shao more than one time on Wayfarer or Hero difficulty on a good run.

The players concerned about babysitting implied they were revisiting Yuan Shao multiple times and/or just hanging out near him. But that scenario tends to occur as more allied officers die. Versus a player that is taking out key officers on the field and allowing your allies to mop up the weaker ones and start to join forces.

The default outcome is everyone dies without the player's intervention. And the player can comfortably save 2 of the 3 major forces. Or with enough aggression and strategy, all 3 major forces. And doing the latter makes the last half of the battle much easier.

the horse regains stamina while not sprinting. I think the cheer is just a boost.

I could've make another thread but nah it's a waste of time, not to mention people in this forum being so damn negative about this game that make Reddit feels like a wonderland in comparison. XD

So, after 12 hours of playing demo. I decide to spoil myself a bit and look into those preview on Youtube, especially on Hu Lao gate....We're pretty much overlevel in this demo. XD

All weapon mastery are at level 8, not to mention some decent equipment heck there's even a ring that has 35% chances of auto parry.

4 weapon that we got in the demo are widely different enough to feel different, not to mention it as their own mechanic/gimmick. I am surprise that I found myself enjoy wheel so much with it's "perfect timing" gimmick. Cresent Blade trigger my DW6's Renbu level 1 PSTD a bit tho. XD Can't wait to try the others in the main game especially to see how Spear my main weapon will play.

And according to the leak we got, it has surprisingly a lot of stages. We spending a LOT of time on Yellow Turban Rebellion and Doug Zhuo uprising.

So call me a tool if you want but despite all the negativity in this god forsaken forum. Im still very much looking forward to this game.

Btw, someone seems to mod the demo to be able to play other officers that's not available in the demo.......
