Here I am at the end of Legend Of Cao Cao, and I have to kill Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan.
This is the the enemy placement.
My troops are divided between the three gates to the city, and it is not possible for me to attack in any direction without my troops being flanked by some enemy unit or another, and some catapult firing on them from a distance. This is insanely messed up. This is no longer strategy, this is "How long can you keep you troops alive in the face of endless slaughter?" Being limited to narrow entrances into which enemies can choke you in, and pick you off one by one, this is madness.
And incidentally, why was Zhuge Liange, Kongming such a huge dick? I don't get these Romance Of The Three Kingdoms characters. What the hell does Kongming want? When Liu Bei and his brothers all got killed and decapitated by the agents of Southlands, and Liu San only wanted to surrender to the more powerful Cao Cao, he did not allow him to do so. And then Liu San gets killed in battle. Kongming, who was just supposed to be a strategist and not the ruler of the kingdom, just conveniently decides to decide for the ruler what is best for him. And yet, when Liu Bei ran off to attack the Southlands, he consented to it, as if he was just a subordinate, and not the one running the kingdom. What sort of asshole takes authority and then gives it up whenever it is best for him? And you'd think that after the western kingdom is destroyed, he'd join Cao Cao, but no, he joins the Southlands, the exact people who beheaded and defeated all of his masters. As if he just plain hates Cao Cao. But why? What did Cao Cao ever do to him? :evil:
