Chapter 125 Short-Term Planning
Three hundred thousand words, it's not easy. To be honest, I never thought I would have the perseverance to write this book until now, and I actually firmly believe that I will keep writing. I won't say too much, it's over three hundred thousand words, please encourage me~~
————————————————————————————————————
The last unit that the Ancient of Wind can train is the Elf Dragon. In fact, when Yu Fei first played Warcraft, he didn't know much about the Elf Dragon. He felt that this unit was useless, with low attack power and anemia. It was clearly giving experience to the enemy; so Yu Fei rarely used the Elf Dragon in battle.
However, later, when a Warcraft expert in Yu Fei's high school dormitory taught Yu Fei to play Warcraft, he explained to Yu Fei the role of the Elf Dragon. In Warcraft Frozen Throne, the Night Elves were designed to be collectively anemic. They finally had a hard-skinned mountain giant, but it was medium armor. So in order to restrict the spellcasting units of other races, Blizzard designed the Elf Dragon.
The disguised movement skill of the Elf Dragon is to make up for its anemia. When attacked, the Elf Dragon can temporarily hide in a subspace to escape the enemy's attack - this is equivalent to temporary invincibility. However, when the disguised movement is activated, the Elf Dragon cannot move, attack or cast spells. This skill is a bit similar to the effect of a hurricane, but it is cast on the Elf Dragon itself.
In the game, disguised movement is generally set to be released automatically. But the duration of disguised movement hiding in the subspace is only 1.5 seconds, and its cooldown time is as long as 6.5 seconds. Therefore, the Elf Dragon often uses disguised movement under the enemy's first attack, but is destroyed in the subsequent concentrated fire attack.
But in the real world, it is fine. The Elf Dragon will naturally judge when to use disguised movement to avoid the skills that cause the most damage to itself, so that the effect of this life-saving skill can be maximized.
The value of the Elf Dragon as a soldier lies in its other skill - Magic Flame. When using Magic Flame, a magic magnetic field will form around the Elf Dragon's body. Within the range of influence of this magic magnetic field, the enemy's spellcasting troops will receive certain damage when casting magic or consuming magic points.
According to the data in Warcraft, within the range of the magic magnetic field, the enemy will receive three points of damage for every point of magic consumed, and the hero unit will receive one point of damage for every point of magic consumed. Because the sound and light effect of the magic magnetic field formed when casting the magic flame makes the elf dragon look like a light egg at this time, the magic flame skill is also called "egg transformation".
When "egg transformation", the elf dragon cannot move, and when casting the magic flame, the elf dragon cannot use disguised movement. In this case, the anemic elf dragon is easily killed by the enemy, so "egg transformation" has an additional effect-an increase of twelve points of armor.
The attack power of the elf dragon itself is very low, and its output mainly relies on the magic flame skill to cause damage to the enemy's magic troops. But it should be noted here that the enemy unit affected by the magic magnetic field will only be affected by the magic flame effect of one elf dragon at the same time. In other words, the effect of magic flame cannot be superimposed.
Yu Fei could understand this. If the effects of the Mana Flame could be stacked, the Night Elves would just produce a bunch of Elf Dragons. When encountering magic heroes like the Prophet, the Elf Dragons would all turn into eggs, and then the Prophet would kill two Night Elves archers with a Lightning Chain, and at the same time he would be electrocuted by a bunch of Elf Dragons.
So when playing Warcraft later, Yu Fei learned to produce two or three Elf Dragons in the middle and late stages to contain the enemy's magic troops, and the effect was quite good. In this continent of Eslaze, the Elf Dragon is the nemesis of all spellcasting units. You know, like the Dryad, the Elf Dragon has the passive skill of magic immunity~~
Yu Fei could imagine the dilemma of human mages and priests when facing the Elf Dragon. Once the Elf Dragon turns into an egg, the magic unit will be asking for trouble if it casts a spell - you know, the magic system is originally synonymous with weak constitution and anemia. And if you want to attack the Elf Dragon to get rid of the dilemma of self-injury when casting spells, the Elf Dragon is immune to magic. Yu Fei was also entangled.
Well, the three arms of the Ancient of Wind are all quite useful, but the Hippogryphs need to study the skill of taming Hippogryphs to form the Hippogryph Riders. Since the formation of air power is not very urgent, Yu Fei decided to first produce Raptor Druids from the Ancient of Wind. The number of elven dragons does not need to be too large, and it is okay to train them later.
By the way, speaking of air power. The future Hippogryph troops can be led by Little Red. The dragon is the overlord of the sky, no one else. In Warcraft, any air unit of the four major races will definitely die if they fight against the dragon alone. Of course, except for those who are shameless enough to bully the third-level dragon.
Speaking of the battle to sweep the Warcraft, Yu Fei did not let Little Red participate. First of all, Little Red's dragon power is too ostentatious. Those low-level Warcraft beasts who sense Little Red's dragon power from a distance may run away directly. How can the night elves get the magic crystal? Secondly, little Reid was growing rapidly during this period and would fall into a deep sleep from time to time, so he was indeed not suitable for fighting.
As for the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, of course, the Mountain Giant will come out first, the peerless meat shield. However, we must first study its technology. Only with hardened skin and resistant skin can the Mountain Giant be truly called a meat shield. But why are the prices of these technologies so ridiculous?
Researching taming horned hippogryph: 7,500 units of energy and 7,500 units of wood are needed.
Researching hardened skin: 10,000 units of energy and 17,500 units of wood are needed.
Researching resistant skin: blood medicine consumes 5,000 units of energy and 10,000 units of wood.
Energy will be fine, but there is too much shortage of wood! Yu Fei sighed in his heart, but he still has other technologies to study. Yu Fei is not in a hurry to study the shooting technique that increases the attack power of archers, because in addition to shooting, the intermediate moon power in the hunter hall can also increase the attack power of several types of soldiers including archers. The wood consumed by studying the intermediate moon power is the same as shooting, and the energy consumption is even less.
But the Moon Blade of the Huntress must be studied. If this is not studied, the power of the constant attack characteristic of the Huntress above the Elite level will be difficult to be reflected. Therefore, the Moon Blade must be studied, and the consumption of studying the Moon Blade is 10,000 units of energy and 15,000 units of wood.
This means that the taming of the Hippogryph, hardened skin, resistant skin and Moon Blade that Yu Fei wants to study add up to a total gap of 5,000 units of wood. After calculating this number, Yu Fei couldn't help but groan in his heart. God, based on the current 900 units of wood per hour for thirty elves, 50,000 units of wood need to be collected for almost fifty-six hours.
And studying these technologies is secondary, the wood consumed by the rapid troops is also very large. Not to mention anything else, the meat shield brigade composed of fifty mountain giants in Yu Fei's plan requires 1,000 units of wood for each mountain giant. There are also a lot of other technologies to be studied, such as druid training, moon power, wild power, etc. With the current speed of wood collection, it may take a long time to form the large-scale combat power that Yu Fei imagined.
Yu Fei thought again and again, the gap in wood is indeed too large, not to mention that if you want to increase the number of soldiers, you have to build more moon wells, which will consume a lot of wood. Therefore, the elves should be expanded. Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, Yu Fei decided to expand the elves who collect wood to 100!
With 100 elves collecting wood, Yu Fei can harvest 3,000 units of wood per hour, which is a terrifying speed~~ Yu Fei thought carefully and really needed to make a plan for the next step of development.
Although the main resource gap is wood now, the demand for energy will be very large in the future-because in the training of soldiers, the energy consumption will be a huge amount. Then, we need to consider finding new energy mines. After Tyrande and the others have a day off, let them go find energy collection points again. They can directly use the light balls on their bodies to build a sub-base, and the energy collection speed will be increased.
As for energy and wood consumption, Yu Fei decided to lean towards technology climbing first. Yu Fei thought, after all, it is not like in the game where we are racing against time and may be attacked by the enemy at any time. If you don't train soldiers and just upgrade technology crazily, you can only be slaughtered. Now the environment I am in is still relatively safe, and no one will discover the night elves. Gargant and the others fled to the Warcraft Mountains because of an accident, and if Tyrande hadn't saved them, they would not have been able to reach where they are.
Let's take a step back and say that even if they are discovered, what can they do? Small groups of enemies can be easily wiped out with the current strength of the night elves. And the mobilization of large troops is not so easy. Even if it is fast, it will take ten days or half a month, right? It's still time to switch from climbing technology to massing soldiers after being discovered.
Besides, it is not so easy for a large army to enter the Warcraft Mountains. Yu Fei does not believe that the average strength of the army on the continent of Eslaze can be as high as that of the night elves. The ordinary soldiers with low strength and large numbers will definitely die quickly under the magic of Warcraft, not to mention that Yu Fei is now in a place that can be called the inner layer of the Warcraft Mountains.
The advantage of climbing technology first is that if you wait until you have climbed the technology and then build troops, the units that have just been trained will immediately have strong combat effectiveness, which is much stronger than ordinary people. After climbing the technology, you must build moon wells crazily to prepare idle population for the rush of troops. After these two tasks are done, it is the stage of rapid expansion of strength. While completing the two plans of climbing technology and building moon wells, you can also do some chores, such as
