Game Masterpiece Inventory: Balance is the top priority

  In today’s world where new tactics are constantly being developed, it is almost impossible to maintain the perfect balance of the game. At the same time, patches will cause some bad consequences for the game, which is why most players insist that the old version is better balanced. Looking at the great games of the past, it is worth taking a look at the works that developers prioritize balance and make players happy.


  The originator of Civilization Series 4X


  The 4X concept system refers to a rather popular and mature system concept in PC strategy games: exploration, expansion and development, management and development, and conquest. Civilization is a typical representative work. It has a wide range of performance content, rich changes, and easy operation, making it an insurmountable peak for other game works. As the best round strategy game, its short game mode, standard game mode, and round epic mode all make it the most influential game. The influence of the 4X concept can be described as far-reaching, artificial intelligence has been greatly improved, and the peculiar combat style and gameplay have made the battle between computers and people more balanced!



Orion, the king of space


  Indeed, "King of Orion" has had a huge impact on our lives, and you may be addicted to it, to enjoy, to experience, to excite, to sigh. Relying on the player’s leadership ability, you must do everything in your power to survive. At the same time, build a powerful starfleet, defend, scout, conquer, and guerrilla warfare. Ships are the ultimate root of players. The mutual constraints of warships, galaxies, and tactics are the reason why players play for hours on end. Explore entire galaxies, explore planets, study technology trees, connect with new races, and go to war with those who are unwilling to cooperate. This delicate balance is everywhere.



Warcraft, who has the final say in balance


  The Warcraft series fully demonstrated the fun of "fighting with people". From then on, the real-time strategy networking mode laid a very good foundation for future strategy games, and competitive games also had a beginning. Every progress of "Humans and Orcs", "Tide of Darkness", "Dark Gate", "Rule of Chaos", and "Frozen Throne" has witnessed the correction of the balance of BLZ. The four major races are interlocked, and who has the final say in the battle between operation and technology?



Hero Invincible Online, where is the balance?


  "Heroes Online", which is also a strategy game, is full of a strong magical style. The army is composed of various orcs, rangers, dragons, etc., and the battle is also full of various gorgeous magic effects. When searching for treasures and gathering resources, you can experience the new balance design brought by multiple castle systems, magic systems, races, arms, hero attributes, etc. However, in team PK and competitive qualifying, Ubisoft has full support for the balance design of PVP, which may be a good start.



  Many classics were legends created by players. After countless revisions, the product was not just about speaking widely, but also about the pursuit of balance based on the game map, arms, heroes, magic, PK, etc. The right location, important position, competitiveness, and fun were all based on players!

The mobile game "Against the Cold Water" pioneered the meta-cosmic advertising model, and Geely China Star became the chief implanted brand.

Recently, Netease’s first open-world martial arts game "Going Against the Water" was announced, and China national automobile brand-Geely China Star became the chief implanted brand of the game public beta. This represents that the game official once publicized that "using the game meta-universe advertising to make profits and reducing the dependence on players’ recharge payment" has officially become a reality.

The mobile game "Against the Cold Water" has repeatedly introduced to the players that it "does not force Krypton" and "completely gives up numerical payment", and relies on appearance payment and pass to get part of the income, and the rest of the difference will be earned by implanting advertisements in the game. The profit model of the brand gold master advertising fee with Meta Universe.

In the previous test of the game, the subversive reform of the game in terms of gameplay content and the game mode of neither liver nor krypton have indeed been confirmed. However, because the embedded advertising system has not been formally applied, many people still have doubts about whether the "meta-universe advertising" model can make up for the game revenue gap.

The fact that Geely China Star became the chief embedded brand in the public beta of "Going Against the Water" proved the possibility of this model.

As the flagship game project of Netease, the mobile game "Against the Water" itself has some embryonic forms of "Metauniverse". The production team wants to attract players into the game world with a lot of game content and excellent gameplay design, and then achieve a kind of "traffic realization" effect by planting advertisements.

This kind of cross-domain linkage is not a low-level operation such as "watching advertisements jump off" in the traditional sense, but relies on the immersion and appeal of the game itself, and accurately delivers advertisements from different angles without affecting the player’s game experience and destroying the game atmosphere.

According to the official of "Going Against the Water" mobile game, the "car-tour linkage" with Geely China Star will be carried out by setting up a "virtual image spokesperson of Geely China Star" in the game to interact with players, help players understand new car information, make an appointment for a test drive, and receive exclusive car purchase subsidies for mobile game players.

In order to ensure the seriousness of the game atmosphere and the integrity of the player’s experience, there will definitely be no cars that are out of date in the game, and there will be no systematic notices of the nature of car promotion. Of course, "there will never be any game content that needs to be bought to experience."

Geely China Star, the first time to test the advertisement of Shuiyuan Universe, also specially invested in the exclusive car purchase benefits for the mobile game players of "Against the Water" for this implantation. According to the official disclosure, the benefits are quite strong, and the mobile game players of "Against the Water" can receive them in the game after the activity is launched.

Wu Xuan: "Dig" N mobile phones and reward half a bag of potatoes.

"I’ dug’ another mobile phone. Whose is this?"

"My, my! Hold it for me first … "

This is a fancy game full of fun. Everyone grabs potatoes with all their heart and soul, so that some people’s mobile phones slip out of their pockets and fall to the ground without noticing it.

On March 8th, wuxuan county Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security and Dongxiang Town Trade Union jointly launched a series of activities to help rural revitalization. More than 100 women and enthusiastic male guests punched in the potato planting base in Luliang Village, Dongxiang Town, and had an unforgettable March 8th Women’s Day.

At the event site, laughter and laughter came one after another. Not much to say, there are pictures to prove it.

Dig up potatoes

Input is the greatest respect for the game. Tear off the vines and pull open the soft soil layer, and one khaki potato will appear in front of you. Returning to the pile, bagging and carrying it to the weighing place, although these girls are usually gentle and seemingly helpless, they are also good at farm work.

The activities include potato "big" competition, potato "quantity" competition and potato peeling competition. In each group, the largest potato is selected for volume measurement, and which group has the largest potato is compared; In the specified 10 minutes, see which group has the heaviest sum of potatoes; In the specified 1 minute, see which group peeled potatoes quickly and well.

After a fierce competition of "big", "quantity" and "fast", the top three winners were decided respectively, and half a bag of potatoes was awarded.

Half a bag of potatoes, weighing at least 50 or 60 Jin, is really "rewarding".

At the end of the activity, everyone will also make the dug potatoes into various delicacies. The dishes are rich and exquisite, and the aroma is diffuse, which is mouth-watering and memorable.

Dongxiang Town has a warm climate, and the cultivated land is mostly alluvial sandy loam, which is fertile and breathable, and has natural advantages for potato growth. The yield of commercial potatoes is 3000-6000 kg per mu. At the end of last year, the potato planting area in Luliang Village was 302.3 mu, and potatoes were basically planted in the winter fallow fields, covering 100% of the farmers in the village who worked at home.

Nowadays, potatoes have ushered in the harvest season. At present, the market price of potatoes is about 2.4 yuan/kg, and the average income per mu is 2,400 yuan, calculated by the yield of 3,000 Jin per mu. Excluding the cost, the net profit per mu is above 1000 yuan, which effectively increases farmers’ income and promotes rural revitalization.

"Family, I am now in the potato planting base in Luliang Village, Dongxiang Town, wuxuan county …" On the day of the event, Dongxiang Town made full use of the advantages of "internet plus" and invited the network anchor to bring the goods live with the theme of "claiming a piece of land and harvesting a hope".

Through the way of "webcast+interaction", consumers can directly claim and dig potatoes online, understand the growth process of potatoes in an all-round way, establish close ties with farmers, further broaden the sales channels of agricultural products, drive local farmers to increase their income and get rich, let "Golden Bean" take advantage of the east wind of live broadcast with goods, and activate a pool of spring water for the integrated development of "agricultural industry+red research+rural leisure".

Soft shoulders shoulder heavy responsibilities, and women are blooming. There is a kind of beauty called "her strength". There is more than one side of her life. She is a mother, a daughter and a companion … She is gentle and delicate, sincere and tenacious, elegant and intellectual …

Five self-driving companies fell in half a year, and the American technology circle ushered in a "change"?

Globally, the United States has been in the leading position in artificial intelligence technology and application for a long time, and the development of driverless driving originated in Europe and America earlier. However, judging from the development of self-driving enterprises in the United States in recent years, layoffs and resignations have occurred frequently, and even more self-driving enterprises have gone bankrupt.

According to the new strategic low-speed driverless industry research institute, in the past six months, many companies in the American driverless industry have announced a large number of layoffs and filed for bankruptcy, including Ibeo, the originator of lidar, and Embark Trucks, a self-driving truck company.

Embark Trucks: from valuation of 5 billion to near bankruptcy only16 months

Embark was founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Francisco. It was co-founded by Alex Rodrigues and Brandon Moak. It is understood that Embark’s initial plan is to build a self-driving shuttle bus for university campuses. Soon after, the team began to turn to self-driving trucks applied to highways.

The market for self-driving trucks has broad prospects, and Embark has quickly gained the favor of venture capitalists. During the period from 2016 to 2019, Embark raised funds including: 2 million USD seed round financing led by Maven Ventures, 15 million USD Series A financing led by DCVC, 30 million USD Series B financing led by Sequoia Capital and 70 million USD Series C financing led by Tiger Global.

In 2021, Embark began to seek listing. In the transaction report, Embark said that they plan to realize the operation of self-driving trucks in the southern industrial zone of the United States from 2024. In November 2021, Embark successfully went public with a market value of about 5 billion US dollars and raised about 614 million US dollars.

However, this 7-year-old enterprise has never really started its business, let alone generate revenue or make profits. According to foreign media reports, Embark has announced the end of its operations and laid off most of its employees.

Locomation: nearly 70% of employees have been laid off, and the product has not been put into commercial operation so far.

Locomation originated from the National Robotics Engineering Center of Carnegie Mellon University and was founded by five co-founders in 2018. Locomation is developing the formation driving technology of heavy trucks-ARC Autonomous Relay Convoy. This technology allows a pilot truck with a safe driver to lead a second truck, in which the driver can rest or do other work.

In February this year, Locomation failed to raise additional investment capital, which led to layoffs. It was once rumored by the outside world as bankruptcy. In this regard, Locomation denied the media reports about the closure, but admitted that it did fire most non-engineering personnel. It is not clear how many of the 122 employees estimated by Locomation are facing dismissal. It is reported that there are 80 employees, most of whom left on February 24th.

?etin Meri?li, co-founder and CEO of Locomation, said that the company will not close down, but it has indeed reduced most non-engineering personnel in the face of economic headwinds.

For the development of the company, Finch Fulton, vice president of policy and strategy of Locomation, said that the company had recruited many smart employees, practiced strategic solutions and had some customers, but now the result was that it could not raise funds and the products could not be put into commercial operation, so it was necessary to make this decision.

Quanergy: Apply for bankruptcy liquidation and seek maximum value.

Founded in 2012, Quanergy is one of the first companies to develop LiDAR devices for automotive applications. Quanergy’s mission is to create intelligent LIDAR solutions with powerful functions and reasonable prices for Internet of Things applications to improve people’s experience and safety.

In December, 2022, Quanergy announced that the company started the orderly sale procedure of its business. In order to promote the sale and maximize the value, the Company applied for protection to the United States Delaware District Bankruptcy Court ("Bankruptcy Court") in accordance with Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Law ("Bankruptcy Law"), and intended to sell its business in accordance with Article 363 of the Bankruptcy Law.

Before submitting the bankruptcy protection case, the board of directors and management evaluated a series of strategic options to maximize the value of all stakeholders. The company also reduced operating expenses and settled a major patent lawsuit with Velodyne. Now with the protection provided by Bankruptcy Law, the company intends to expand its marketing efforts of potential buyers interested in specific business sectors or assets, and continue to seek continuous sales of business.

The company is expected to continue to operate in the process of bankruptcy protection and seek to complete the rapid sales process with the approval of the bankruptcy court. In order to help fund and protect its operation, Quanergy intends to use the available cash on hand and normal operating cash flow to fund the operation and normal costs after the application.

Argo AI: layoffs are closed, and investors "start a new stove" to receive.

In October 2022, Ford officially issued a statement: Argo AI, an autonomous driving company jointly invested by Ford and Volkswagen, will be closed and dissolved, and employees and some parts will be accepted by Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen Company respectively.

Argo AI, an autonomous driving technology company from Google’s unmanned vehicle team, was founded in 2016. A year later, it was acquired by Ford for $1 billion and introduced Volkswagen investment in 2019. Argo AI, backed by two mountains, can be said to be a star unicorn in the field of autonomous driving.

The valuation was as high as $7 billion, and the accumulated gold was $2.6 billion. The team size was as high as 2,000. However, it is such a potential L4 autonomous driving technology company that layoffs and bankruptcies are reported, and after the dissolution, Argo AI’s employees and technology may be taken over by Ford and Volkswagen.

So far, Ford has indeed done this. Just last week, Ford Motor announced that it would set up Latitude AI, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and recruited hundreds of employees for the new company from Argo AI, which it had previously invested in.

According to Ford’s statement, Latitude, located in Pittsburgh, the former home of Argo, will focus on developing an autonomous driving system for millions of cars with hands-free, eyes-off-the-road. Ford said that Latitude will focus on the automatic technology to assist human drivers in the short term, and will not completely replace human drivers with autonomous driving technology.

Velodyne: completely quit after merging with Ouster.

In 2016, Velodyne Lidar Division was separated from Velodyne Acoustics Company and became an independent company. In order to get the goods first, Ford and Baidu jointly invested $150 million in Velodyne Lidar Company. Since then, Velodyne has successively signed contracts with companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai Mobius and Boston Dynamics.

In the laser radar industry, Velodyne has always been in the leading position as the first laser radar in the world, and considers itself as "the only laser radar enterprise that can mass-produce wire harnesses." As more and more enterprises poured into the laser radar track, the products became more and more involved, and Velodyne began to decline.

Especially in terms of price. Velodyne mainly sells 64-line, 32-line and 16-line lidar, and the official prices are $80,000, $40,000 and $8,000 respectively. Because Velodyne chose the agency mode in the sales mode, the buyer also needs to pay taxes and agents’ service fees. As a result, the final price of a Velodyne64 line lidar was nearly 700,000 yuan. Other companies can provide more cost-effective products.

In February this year, Velodyne said that it had successfully completed the "merger of equals" with the lidar manufacturer OUSTer, which took effect on February 10th. The company will keep the name of Ouster and continue to trade under the company’s stock code "Oust". This also means that Velodyne has launched the historical stage.

Although autonomous driving start-ups have fallen in the past six months, the exploration of autonomous driving in the United States is still overweight. According to foreign media reports, the American Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association released a policy framework on March 1, outlining the key priorities of federal autonomous vehicle legislation and supervision.

The framework proposed by the association includes several suggestions to the US Congress and the Department of Transportation to guide the federal government to take corresponding actions and promote the deployment and commercialization of self-driving cars in the United States.

Jeff Farrah, executive director of the association, said: "Self-driving cars are being tested and operated in various States in the United States, taking passengers and goods where they need to go. The United States is currently the leader in autonomous driving technology, but other countries are also making rapid progress. " Members of the association include Aurora, Cruise, Ford, Volkswagen, Waymo and Zoox.

With the continuous promotion of China’s position in the global political arena, China’s scientific research achievements in the field of autonomous driving have attracted worldwide attention. In 2023, China and the United States will have a new round of science and technology competition, and the industry will wait and see.

Camara disappeared, many people in Rome were abandoned? Going his own way, Mourinho’s embarrassment and stubbornness

A paradox lies before Mourinho.

Is Rome useless or useless? In March, halfway through the Devil’s schedule, Mourinho is worried about a long list of injuries. At present, there are important players absent from the third-line positions except the goalkeeper. The media are talking about the need for Rome to make a rotation, but this is Mourinho’s embarrassment.

Rotation. Who? Take the midfield as an example. I’m afraid Marty Camara himself can’t remember the last time he played. Mourinho would rather let Cristante and Ma Diqi fight repeatedly than send him to play. Even the teenager Tasirovich has temporarily replaced him, while Camara has almost disappeared. Some media rumors that he is injured, but since 2023, he has been healthy enough to enter the big list and sit on the bench. Some critics say that Rome will use him only if it is necessary, mainly because he is worried that his appearances will be full.

Not only Camara, but also young players such as volpato and Tacirovich, who had been highly anticipated by Mourinho, have lost their chances in the standing list after a period of tempering. Young Beauvais was once in Mourinho’s plan, but he still couldn’t play the main role after the game was tempered. Rome had hoped to use him and volpato as additions to the purchase of Fratesi during the winter transfer.

Also gradually disappearing in the starting lineup is celik, the winner of the bid. celik has not played in four games since he came out after Rome defeated Verona’s substitute Solbakken 1-0 on February 20th. Some media have analyzed that the confidence of Turks has been affected since the goal against cremona, and the strong comeback of Karsdorp and the rapid growth of Zalewski have compressed the space of celik.

Of course, for coach Jose Mourinho, he is more aware of different tactics and player arrangements for different opponents, just like when he played against Real Society, he used Karsdorp accurately, which inspired the fighting spirit and energy of the Dutch. Similarly, Camara, Tasirovich and celik do not mean that they have been completely abandoned. They can only play when Mourinho thinks fit. In the past, many media questioned that Mourinho often went his own way and didn’t know how to rotate. In fact, Rome suffered from rotation at many times this season. In the two games against cremona, it happened that Mourinho tried to rotate, and the result was without exception.

This is also Mourinho’s embarrassment, rotation? Losing, not rotating? Lack of physical strength may lose the game. In desperation, he had to give up his own ban, so as to encourage and infect the only main lineup, and let them believe that they have the ability to conquer everything and believe in the strength of team and blood. However, his inner helplessness has long been revealed. At the press conference after the Europa League match, he envied Bayern’s substitute lineup and said that even if those people only gave him one player, it would be good. This is also his difficulty to some extent. In Rome, it is not that no one is available. The real problem is that some people are really useless.

The city’s fresh technology shares WiFi, which is a new choice for intelligent and convenient service in stores.

Founded in 2018, Wuhan Xianshi Technology Co., Ltd. is a technology-driven company. Its business segments include shared charging treasure, shared charging pile, unmanned container, life service, aggregate payment business, cloud computing and other industrial fields. With independent development capability, strong technical team, customer service team and rich experience in operation and promotion management, we are committed to the research and development of Internet technology and artificial intelligence equipment.

The city’s fresh technology sharing WiFi pays more attention to landing operation, which means that your customers are the end customers. All you have to do is push the ground, invite the merchants to settle in, and open the Wi-Fi code for the merchants (replace the Wi-Fi in the store). Paste the Wi-Fi code corresponding to the merchant according to the number of tables in the merchant’s store.

The business entry system is also divided into shares, which is quite attractive to developers or platform operators. Entering this area is completed by developers, because developers promote business entry with a share of profits.

For the platform operator, as long as the customers in the store scan the code to link WiFi successfully, you will get a profit, and this part of the profit is calculated automatically. Your profit is settled by Tencent’s traffic, and the following will form the effect of automatic operation. When others connect WiFi, you will get a profit, and the system operator will just enjoy the profit.
