MMORPG: Rise of The Dungeon Master.

Chapter 125 War General And Their Limits...

"I know about the taking advantage of other players, but brother, it's not about that only."

"Oh! What more in that?"

"It's about compatibility. The team that I created will have more compatibility than the one that you give me, and I believe I can expand my team in the future."

Roan looked at Dhruv's face and said, "You are right about compatibility and all. But lil bro, do you have that much time?"

Dhruv looked up at him in confusion. "Time?"

"You knew you are already 1 year behind others. Now, when all the top players were exploring and becoming stronger, do you think your method will help you catch up to them?"

Dhruv asked with confusion, "but brother, you told me not to rush and take my time."

Roan shook his head and said, "That is only till level 10. After that, you need to rush as fast as possible."

Dhruv scratched his head. "Brother, if I rush with an unknown team, I will be weaker than other war War Generals. You know that for war, War General, having a good teammate was very important?"

"Who said that?" Roan looked at Dhruv.

Dhruv shook his head and said, "Brother, it's a common thing that a War General with a weak soldier is a weak War General."

Roan shook his head. He sat down and looked at Dhruv and asked, "Who said that War Generals need to train a powerful army and they need a strong team around them?"

Dhruv saw his brother was not joking, but serious. He sat down and said, "many pro players and even in my research reach to this conclusion that a strong War General needs a powerful army."

"This is only the one side of the coin?"

"What are you saying?"

Roan thought for some time and said, "Well, smartass, let me give you an example. You know the history, right?"

"Yes"

"Good. let take a stronger War General throughout history and now what we do is to change the army of War General with another army of some other strong War General?"

Dhruv asked in doubt, "Do you mean like we give War General A army B and War General B with army A."

"Right? So now tell me what you think happened in that situation?"

Dhruv started thinking, and Roan just looked at him, saying nothing. There was silence in the room.

Dhruv looked at his brother and said after some time, "well brother, there will be different outcomes based on the type of War General, but one thing was that all of their effectiveness decreased for sure."

Roan nodded his head and said, "Brilliant observation, but you missed one thing."

"Oh, what is that?" Dhruv asked in confusion.

"See, even in real life there were many cruel War Generals throughout history that won the war while sacrificing a large number of soldiers right?"

"ah, yeah."

Roan nodded his head and asked, "Now in the next war those War General needs to train other soldiers right? So at every war, there were many new soldiers that War General need to adjust with right?"

"But the top executive did not die in the war," Dhruv said.

Roan nodded his head and continued, "In the game, all the players you make your team around will get revived and you will have the same team in all the fights you will do in the future."

"Yeah, kind of. "

Roan nodded, "see this is why everyone in the game says making a team was necessary for the game. But in real life sometimes the War General needs to deal with new soldiers after every war. Now you tell the pro of real-life War General over game War General."

Dhruv rubbed his forehead and said, "I think the only advantage the real-life general had was that they were versatile in their thought processes. But bother even in the game if you add more soldiers in the army this add-on will work as the army expansion that is an immense advantage for the game general."

Roan shook his head and said, "You see, the one simple thought that in a war any of their commanders may die makes those generals far more dangerous."

Dhruv looked at him with doubt on his face. Roan sighed at that, "Smartass, Let me tell you. The biggest weakness of a War General was the team he created around him. That team made him predictable after some war."

Dhruv started thinking and said, "you are right brother, but if I use different tactics, then that may not be a problem."

"Well, you may develop 10s of tactics, but I know the power of each of your teammates no matter what tactic you use. I can guess what you will be up to when I looked at the position of your top-level teammates."

Dhruv had his eyes wide as he realized that Roan point at him, "You may come with 100s of tactics but can your teammate be able to follow all that with their specialized style?"

Dhruv looked at his face, not speaking anything. He continued to do that for some time and said, "Oh, now I get it. I may come up with different strategies but my teammates will all have a specialized style. This put a limitation on the number of tactics I use with them. To add more variety, I need to add stronger players but…"

Roan said with a smile on his face, "But the thing is how many can you train in that limited time?"

Dhruv nodded his head. He frowned a little and looked at Roan and asked, "So the war general class was nothing but a support class. There is nothing I can do without powerful players. There would be no point once they understand my team…"

"Whoa whoa, no need for this hopelessness." Roan moved his hand in front of Dhruv's face to grab his attention.

Dhruv looked at him and asked in a panic, "brother what to do not make me this predictable."

Roan said with a smile on his face, "Simple, do not focus on making a team but more on different strategies and how to use a different type of player in different physical and mental strategies. "

Dhruv shook his head. "Brother, what you were saying was theoretically good to hear but if I did this, I may become flexible but I will always be lower than those that make a solid team."

Roan nodded his head, "Well that is true for the start, but hey now you will not be restricting yourself to one team. You need to become like a chess player that knows the power of every piece on the board, but he did not care about the piece, he only cares to win the war. Your opponent will remain confused to find which piece does which work. This is what I think will be best for you."

"Be like a chess player and focus on the power and strategy. This will be very tough." Dhruv mumbled.

"Well, maybe but hey you want to beat me right?" Roan said that and just lay back on the sofa and closed his eyes to let Dhruv think about all this.
