Introduction to the Technology System in “Sanguo’s Ambition 4: Three Kingdoms”

570 View2023-10-18

The current version of “Sanguo’s Ambition 4: Three Kingdoms” has four technology systems, namely infantry, archers, cavalry, and domestic affairs.

The first three are combat technology systems, which directly affect the combat power of different types of troops in battle. The domestic affairs system is more about technologies that affect resource output and other aspects.

Each system’s technology needs to be developed in order, and development requires the consumption of copper coins and technology points. It does not require time and can be researched immediately. Technology points need to be obtained through government offices.

It should be noted that technology research does not consume points, but occupies points. Each time a technology is developed, it needs to occupy the corresponding points of technology.

For example, if you currently have 10 technology points and have used 8 points for research, if all your government offices are demolished or the cities they belong to are occupied, then the available technology points will become -8. If you want to continue climbing the technology line, you need to rebuild and upgrade government offices or seize cities with government offices to make up for the missing technology points. However, even if the available technology points are negative, the technologies that have been developed will continue to take effect.

In the end game of war, besides competing for resources, the most important thing is to compete for the development of technology. Whether it is the choice of technology development priority in the early stage or the competition of technology development speed in the middle and late stages, it will directly affect the final trend of this game. The reason why you lost this round may be that your opponent developed a key technology a year earlier than you.

In addition to the current four technology systems, future versions also plan a fifth technology line [City Building System]. By developing city building technology, you can transform cities to enhance city durability and offensive and defensive capabilities, and even change the skill effects of city defense. Stronghold defense may be another playable mode in subsequent versions.

With version updates, other series of technologies may enter the game. Please look forward to it. Thank you for reading.
