Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 160
53. Insight (2)
About 20 minutes ago.
The Viking team’s waiting room.
They were all talking about curve shots.
“Do all Joseon archers shoot curve shots?”
“I think there were at least 15 people.”
“It’s safe to say that’s all. “The average number of armed troops in the 2nd era is about 50.”
It’s inevitable that the curve shot is a technique that can ignore even shields and target the Viking’s vital points.
“If it goes like this, in theory we can’t win…”
In theory, Joseon was a civilization that had significant strengths against the Vikings.
Nevertheless, this is why Joseon’s Viking war is underrated.
No, in general, this is why all civilizations find it easy to deal with Joseon.
This is largely divided into two reasons.
1. There is no resource faction.
This is the biggest.
There were no factions related to economic production.
Joseon has always had less resources than other civilizations.
Even if they had excellent weapons and technology, only a small number of them had them.
2. It is not practical.
Joseon’s bow damage boasts the highest damage in the civilization thanks to the highest grade faction called ‘Concentration’.
But when it comes to cover, it becomes too vulnerable.
Shoots an arrow once every 3 seconds, but is blocked by cover?
That’s almost 6 seconds of being an idiot.
“But if you have a curve shot, the story is very different.”
The curve shot technology that perfectly compensates for these shortcomings of shipbuilding.
This is neither a faction nor a combat method promoted by game companies, but a technique of pure individual skill that is perhaps close to expedient.
It is a technique that gives the arrow a curve like a baseball to go around cover and hit the target.
It is almost a miracle to be able to achieve such a critical strike.
No team plans a strategy assuming such miraculous dexterity would exist, and the same goes for the Vikings.
But that actually happened a little while ago.
Everyone used curve shots and destroyed the Viking first line.
So I couldn’t help but consider it.
“How did this happen? If this happens… it becomes too difficult to deal with archers, right?”
Even the assistant commander ‘Northman’, who rarely gave negative opinions, was the first to say this.
Everyone starts spitting out one word out of fear of curve shots.
“no.”
Jesse came forward and said it wasn’t him.
“I’m not saying I can shoot all curve shots.”
“what? So what happened to us? If we hadn’t used Operation Become a Corpse, everything would have happened. “This wasn’t originally intended to be used in the first game.”
“So… I memorized it so that I could only do it on the spot.”
“?”
The other Vikings snorted at those words.
“under. Does it make sense to memorize the positions in Civil M?”
“I don’t understand what you mean in the first place.”
It was worth it.
Jessie isn’t sure if what she thinks is really true.
“That’s…”
At this, the general commander, X-Master, stepped forward.
“under. Was it something like that?”
Everyone looked at him with question marks.
X-Master explains this.
“The valley won’t change. Sometimes there are maps like that. “Some places do not change in order to maintain the color of the map.”
“!?”
All the other leaders are surprised by those words.
This is a fact that cannot be known unless you see everything from above like the general commander.
“Is there such a thing?”
“okay.”
“this. Crazy… make a proper game!”
Norseman gets angry and stands up.
“If this is the case, the map selection is too important!?”
The reason why no one had any complaints even when the map options were given as best dressed.
That was because the maps in Civil M were always random.
Now that major premise has been destroyed.
“….”
Jesse also said nothing and just looked at the ground.
Should I say that I feel guilty for no reason? I could have taken first place back then.
“Don’t be so mean. “Anyway, the important thing is that we can now assume that they don’t shoot curve shots freely.”
A particularly large man scolds Norseman.
This is another assistant commander, Clearing.
“that. “Are you sure?”
Vinter asked, turning his head towards Jesse.
“You can’t hit a curve shot properly if you’re not in that spot.”
“huh. but. “You know, one exception.”
“okay. “You already know that.”
They had all looked at the data on almonds.
“I can handle one person.”
“Then what I saw was correct. I couldn’t shoot a curve shot if I wasn’t in that spot. Moreover, the moment I left that spot, I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t shoot from the angle I was normally good at.”
The general commander nodded and stood up.
“As expected, you have good observation skills. proposal. “Then I don’t think there’s any need to worry about curve shots this time around.”
As they reached this conclusion, the complexions of all the Vikings turned bright red.
“This is not a battlefield they chose. “Let’s finish it off!”
When the general commander gave a loud shout, everyone shouted along at the same time.
“Waaaa!”
* * *
Meanwhile, similar discussions were continuing in the waiting room in Joseon.
Cookie was only meeting with the archers who had fought in the valley battle, leaving the remaining soldiers to get more intoxicated with the energy of victory.
He wanted to hear the details of the situation during the battle.
“You were seen through?”
“yes. “It was definitely a move like that.”
Carrot explained to Cookie the flow of battle he saw on the scene.
Because Cookie couldn’t see the battle in person at the time.
“It was a move where we knew we were locked in a position. They all came together and rushed towards each other. “If the Vikings follow the manual for dealing with long-distance soldiers, this should never happen.”
“uh. “I felt that way too.”
Pangeo also says a word and nods.
“At least the guys from the west knew. “I don’t know about the east.”
Cookie sighed briefly and leaned back.
“Hmm… It’s not good that you’ve already been caught.”
The reason I honed my region-based curve shot so much wasn’t just to use it for one game.
“We should have created awareness that we know how to shoot curve shots.”
“I think that would be too much.”
The carrot was cut into pieces and an opinion was expressed.
“Because it was all revealed in the end… Yeah. I guess so. “Then it would be unreasonable to rely on that kind of psychology.”
Cookie rubs her chin and is lost in thought.
‘They say it was discovered at the scene…’
The general commander didn’t analyze it and find out later, but reacted immediately at the scene.
In that case, someone among the Vikings figured out their strategy right on the spot.
To do that, he would have had to have observed the movements of the Joseon army in the valley for quite some time.
In such an extreme situation, you persistently observe the other person and eventually analyze it. This person is truly skilled.
Cookie moved away and headed towards Almond.
“almond.”
“?”
“How are you feeling?”
Almond changed out of his sweaty clothes and put on new clothes, but his hair was still moist.
“It’s okay so far. But… it’s not as good as the first game.”
This means it won’t be like the first game.
The frequency with which Almond participates in battle had to be gradually reduced.
In the long run, this should have been applied unconditionally.
“….”
Cookie nodded silently, lost in thought.
‘It’s not easy.’
It seemed like the second game wouldn’t be easy.
The number of battles in which Almond could participate had to be calculated to be approximately two.
No, it’s a best-of-three match.
Considering that it could go to the third game, it had to be limited to one episode.
“Players! Please enter!!”
Before I knew it, time was up.
* * *
Waaaaaa!
Inside the stadium, the cheers of the audience echo like echoes.
The giant hologram began constructing the terrain again.
“ruler. What about this map!?”
This time, neither team knows what map will come out.
Not only the players, but also the broadcasters, viewers, and spectators could not help but be nervous.
– ㄷㄱㄷㄱ
– Indeed
– It will start again after a short commercial!
[Rich granary area]
Shoot…!
A wide field of reeds blowing in the wind, creating golden waves.
The sunset over the horizon, the wide plains, green mountains and animals running through the fields.
“Ahhh! This time, a map with a completely different character has come out!?”
“That’s right! “It’s completely different from before, except that there are more food resources!”
Each camp was located along the diagonal length of the map.
The caster briefly explains the game outline.
“Vikings at 2! northeastward! Joseon at 8 o’clock! It’s southwest! As expected, they are positioned diagonally, just like 1:1! King Gyul! “Please briefly explain the composition of this map!”
“yes! First of all, just like you said! Completely different from before! “It’s a completely different composition!”
“Yes!”
-ㄹㅇ
-This isn’t easy ㅠㅠ
-Can you use archers at will
? -There’s a lot of food, so you won’t be controlled again, right?
-I will use words instead.
Kinggyul began his explanation while looking down at the scouting movements of each camp.
“The rugged mountain valley earlier was a map with a really unique character, right? But this is a relatively plain map. “It’s a ‘low’ difficulty map that beginners will often encounter when playing against AI for the first time.”
-Mite difficulty haha
-Oh, brain difficulty haha
-It looks easy just by looking at it
haha “I see? “So, on this map, the odds between both sides are 50-50?”
“Hmm… If the map is flat, it will eventually lead to compatibility between civilizations, right? Then, of course, it should be considered 50/50. As I said in the previous game, Viking and Joseon have a golden balance where they bite off each other, right?”
“ah. Yes. “You said yes.”
Kinggyul emphasized that there is a high probability that the map will not be very important this time.
“What becomes important in this case is the race against time in the typical Joseon vs. Viking structure, right? How long did the Vikings eat until they reached the 3rd Joseon Dynasty? This is it…”
“Oh, right? The 3rd era of Joseon’s promise! And the Vikings are, in another sense, the Third Age of Promise!”
– Hahahaha
– Different meaning haha
– It’s a race against time
– Time is on our side!
“The Vikings can almost monopolize the enormous food resources on this map at first, right? “It’s not a mountainous area like before, so Joseon soldiers can’t hit and run based on their movement speed.”
“ah…! okay!?”
In the first game, Joseon used the ‘Mountain People’ faction to the limit.
“Among the indicators analyzed earlier, the mountain people faction surpassed concentration in terms of faction utilization!?”
“That’s right. This means that the faction that showed such strength is now useless…”
– Huh
– That’s right, how do we keep food in check now??
-But this is the original structure
-ㅅㄱ
-In the end, it was a fashion victory…
-The first game was a fashion cup haha.
As Kinggyul’s explanation continued, viewers began to think that Joseon would not win.
This may be because they had a lot of fun in the first game based on their fast movement speed.
“No, actually, nothing that was fun in the first game was there!?”
“That’s right. But since when did Joseon win a game as a mountaineer faction!? That map from earlier too! It was a map that was not particularly advantageous to the bow civilization!? But I still won!”
“ah. you’re right! Shipbuilding! I was always the underdog! “We did it!”
“Let me tell you from Joseon’s perspective! We must somehow stop the Vikings from recklessly monopolizing food! Like the way the Vikings rob the guard post when they are not paying attention! “We have to figure out a way!”
-In the end, there is a food fight
-You have to keep robbing hunting posts
-It’s difficult to rob from the beginning
. “Ah. Yes! If hunting posts are expanded indiscriminately, it will be difficult to defend them individually!? “The buildings have to be a certain distance away from each other to produce gold, so once they exceed a certain number, they spread out across the map!?”
“yes! The board was like that a little while ago, but it collapsed because it wasn’t managed well! What will happen to the Vikings this time? Protect the hunting post! Will Joseon protect its base while suppressing hunting posts until the 3rd era? “It’s going to be a fight like this!”
“Ah, while I’m talking! “Vikings, there’s already some major movement!?”
Red dot on the northern minimap.
Many of the Vikings gradually began to come down.
It seems like a move to expand.
“Viking expansion already? Isn’t it unusual?! Are you confident about this map!? “Bold!”
Numerous hunting posts begin to be built simultaneously around the Viking base.
“Is this really being greedy!?”
Kinggyul’s upper body jumped back in surprise.
“Why are they building a hunting post like this!?”
“Yes! There’s no need to build it this quickly, right? “You just need to get over 10 from the 2nd era.”
Kinggyul had seen this movement build order before.
“ah…?”
If the Vikings advance by expanding their hunting post like that in the 1st Age.
“This… Are you trying to use humane tactics as soon as you reach the 2nd era!?”
The method was to target the early 2nd Age, not the early 3rd Age, which is where Viking usually wins.
“We are planning from now on so that the food pumping maximum will come out early in the 2nd era! this! If Joseon doesn’t know about this, they will be punished!? It’s really sharp! X-Master!? In fact, if you lose here, you are eliminated! A game-winner!?”
“Exmaster! I sharpened my sword after losing the first game! Is this it!? No, I sharpened the axe!”
“Yes! We are not going to the lost third era! We will just make time stop in the bubble era!?”
-No, it’s Japan hahaha
-Vikings are also making excuses
-Wow, what should I do with this?
-The original Nalville civilization
-Japan in the world that did not attack Pearl Harbor ㄷㄷ
-Can’t stop this???
-Wow, if you lose one game, it’s over.
