In 184 AD, a shout of "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand" resounded throughout the Central Plains. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court was foolish, the autocratic eunuchs, and years of natural disasters and heavy taxes made the people suffer. Zhang Jiao, a native of Julu, founded the Taiping Road with medical skills and religion as the link, and formed the "Thirty-Six Parties" based on hundreds of thousands of believers in the Central Plains, intending to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Although this largest religious uprising in Chinese history, the Yellow Turban Uprising, was defeated by generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun within a year, it completely tore the foundation of the Eastern Han Dynasty and laid the groundwork for the separatist rule of the heroes and the three kingdoms.

History is always full of drama. Before the Zhang Jiao Uprising, the incident was in a hurry due to disciples' reports. Although the uprising army was huge, it eventually failed due to loose organization and weak combat power and the encirclement of the official army. However, the aftermath of this uprising lasted for more than 20 years, with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans such as Black Mountain and Baibo, which eventually promoted the decentralization of the Han Dynasty to the state governors and accelerated the rise of local warlords. This history was not only a turning point in the decline of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also a source of inspiration for later literature and game creation.

From History Books to Games: How SLG allows players to "experience" the Yellow Turban Rebellion

In recent years, more and more Three Kingdoms theme SLGs (strategy games) have tried to integrate this famous historical event into the game, but the Yellow Turban Uprising often appears as a background or a tutorial for beginners, but few works can truly restore their strategic depth and historical tension. More SLG games are still stuck in "numerical confrontation" or "general collection", while ignoring the contradictions and games behind historical events. Until last year, an SLG mobile game called "Three Kingdoms: Deciding the World" emerged. It quickly accumulated millions of players with innovative gameplay such as "multi-professional strategy" and "burden reduction design". In the S7 season "Hanzuo Huangtian" launched this month, it deeply integrated the historical logic of the Yellow Turban uprising with the game mechanism, and delivered a full-score answer sheet of "history + strategy".

"Asymmetric Confrontation" is the biggest highlight of "Three Kingdoms: Plan the World" this season. This season is based on the famous Yellow Turban Rebellion in history. Through the first asymmetric confrontation script, many players can join the Yellow Turban or Han Dynasty camp and personally participate in this war that changes the course of history. As we all know, the Yellow Turban Army, which lacks resources and hastily uprising, has a huge gap in strength with the orthodox and the Eastern Han Dynasty court, which is well-resourced. Just as the Yellow Turban Army relies on the support of the people and flexible tactics to fight against the official army, the asymmetric confrontation of the three strategies restores this real history. In the game, players also need to formulate completely different development routes based on the characteristics of the camp - either "multiple-point surprise attack" like Zhang Jiao, or "steady and steady" like Huangfu Song.

The most content season in history: a double breakthrough between immersion and strategy

The Three Kingdoms: Plan the World" S7 season "Han Zuo Huang Tian" is not only an innovation in gameplay, but also a large amount of new content to reconstruct historical immersion.

First is the official promotion system. Players can upgrade from "Captain Captain" to "General" or "General of Heaven" through their military achievements, unlock exclusive abilities such as "Recommendation of Generals" and "Reinforcement Training", and reproduce the epic feeling of Liu, Guan and Zhang's "is awarded a marquis for pacifying the Yellow Turbans". Secondly, the third plan creates the AI ​​gameplay of SLG games and joins the AI ​​elite camp. Yellow Turban players can build "Yi Shi Camp" and Han players can create "Elite Battalion" to dispatch AI troops to dynamically support the battlefield, which not only reduces organizational pressure, but also increases the variables in the battle situation; the game also adds new generals and tactics during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The three famous generals Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Zhang Ning appear with tactics such as "planning before acting" and "Huang Tian Kuang Heart". Unpopular generals have also reborn due to the "recommendation mechanism", and the players' teaming strategy is unlimited.

This season, the player alliance cooperation has also made innovations. The Han Dynasty’s “lightning rescue” and the Yellow Turban “guerrilla teleportation” form a difference in offensive and defensive rhythm. The alliance coordination can trigger the characteristics of the camp. The fighter planes on the real-time battlefield change rapidly, making this virtual Yellow Turban chaos particularly exciting.
