ZhanGuo
DescriptionThis is a mod for the cardgame Illiad which is originally based on the Trojan war between the Greek states and Troy over Helen. Changes have been made to convert the game into the 7 states of late ZhanGuo (Warring States) period of China ca. 4th-3rd century B.C. Distinctive elements of late Warring States warfare have been incorporated into the game, whilst trying to stay within the original spirit of the Illiad gameplay. State Banners (Heroes) Tiles Units Yunti Che (Trojan Horse) - 6 cards Pili Che (Catapult) - 8 cards Chuangzi Nu (Ballista) - 8 cards Chao Che x2 (Elephant x2) - 8 cards Cavalry (Chariot) - 4 cards Chariot (Chariot) - 4 cards Nu 2 (.....) - 6 cards Gong 1 (Archers 1) - 8 cards Ping 1 (Hoplite 1) - 6 cards Ping 2 (Hoplite 2) - 7 cards Ping 3 (Hoplite 3) - 8 cards Ping 4 (Hoplite 4) - 9 cards Victory Cards Oracle Cards The following are some of the basic changes and assumptions I've made in the Mod: I've introduced crossbowmen (Nu). I've introduced a new "missile-formation" of archer/crossbow/ping 3-row deep ranks. Only the missile infantry of the first 2 rows of the "missile-formation" can attack. Units killed within the formation are removed and the formation is reassembled downward. Cavalry and Chariots can be attacked by missile troops in "missile-formation". I've also bumped the game up to a 7 player game to match the 7 warring states. The 7 banners of the 7 warring states now replaces the 6 heroes. I've increased some of the unit numbers and decreased others to enable the additional 7th player, to take into account the new crossbowmen, as well as to rebalance the game towards a slightly higher emphasis on missile troops. Gorgon is now 7th Month Hungry Ghost Festival. Thanatos is now Zhan Shen. Helen is replaced by the Mandate of Heaven. City/Tireme replaced by the duality of Civil/Military City/Fortress. Agamemnon, Athena & Poseidon have been replaced by Bian (Tablets),a Bamboo Bian, a Stone Bian (for Civil City) & a Bronze Bian (for Martial Fortress) respectively. Chariots are now split into lower value Cavalry & higher value Chariots. Trojan Horse is now a Yunti Che. Elephant is now Chao Che. Harrows are now Crossbow Traps. All other units remain basically the same except labeled in their Chinese equivalent.
