May your organs be valuable and your profits plenty,
--Xalavier, Lead Developer

Welcome to the map editor! With it you can create original maps for the game, so show us your best and share it with everyone in the steam workshop!
Here's how:

2.2. Theatre type: choose a theatre type for your map.
2.3. Game Mode: Enable/Disable heroes for your map.
2.4. Map description: Describe your map to inform everyone about its unique mechanism and features.

3. Now it’s all yours, paint your own landscapes with brushes, or implement a random landscape generation.


3.1:"Paint" landscapes, click "paint landscapes" to call the interface.
3.1.1 Brush type: choose between landscape and vexan brushes, with brushes you can create your own landscapes or place enemies for your map.
3.1.2.Brush Size :Square brushes are provided with the editor, switch between different sizes to meet your requirements.
3.1.3:Select Brushes: Choose a brush to paint in your map.(Click mouse right to release your current selection)
3.1.4. Brushes edit layer priority: Vexans>Landscapes, which means that, the vexans generated by the brushes will be placed over the landscapes rather than replacing them. However, brushes of the same type will still replace each other when applied.

3.2.1: Landscape type: Choose the landscape type you prefer to generate.

3.2.6.Evolution correction value：This value determines the ratio of grids during the evolution progress. The value accumulates whenever a blank area is generated, and be referred to prevent dispersed landscapes from being evolved, causing the overall landscape percentage to decrease. (Float:-1 to 1)

Grab them both on sale this week, indulge in some radical 80's and 90's nostalgia, and put your VR detective skills to the test!!

《七雄纷争》喜迎虎年新春与Steam上线，开放「沙场点兵」特别活动，万元现金大奖征召SLG策略之王！

在“沙场点兵”竞技场中，所有君主都重新处于同一起跑线，摒除常规玩法中的所有额外加成，畅玩全部武将，赢取现金奖励，打造真正的“公平对战”竞技场！

【活动时间】
1月26日-2月15日

【活动奖励】
第1名：2万元现金&40万游戏黄金(二选一)



第2名：5000元现金&10万游戏黄金(二选一)



第3-4名：2000元现金&4万游戏黄金(二选一)



其他名次均有丰厚黄金奖励，并且每次升段还有额外奖励，助力君主踏上真策略·称霸之路！

在沙场点兵玩法中，我们将「武将池」和「统御值」都进行随机处理，这使得君主并不会在无限的搭配中寻找到绝对的玩法答案。两个条件不断变化下会搭配出无数新颖的配将组合，提供超高的持续可玩性。



在布阵环节中没有‘格子’概念，君主可以充分发挥策略想象力，创造出意想不到的布阵来影响战局，从战局未开就赢在起跑线！



七雄的常规战斗是半即时方式，在释放技能时会有时间停滞效果提供给君主技能释放思考，但在沙场点兵中我们探索性的开放了完整即时的战斗方式！双方君主战斗操作完全动态化，让战局走势更加灵活激烈，战场变化也更加多样！



当然，在做到完全即时的玩法时，也充分考虑到初次上手该玩法的君主需要适应过程，因此我们也保留了左侧的‘自动释放技能’以及右侧的‘快速行军操作’，让君主也能够平顺上手该玩法。

战斗结束后，除奖励结算外。在这里还为君主提供了详细的战报数据，可用于复盘本场战斗以此改进，同时精彩的战斗可以可以分享给其他君主观摩。



以上就是沙场点兵的玩法简要展示，该玩法将在上线后为君主带来公平的游戏体验，同时它也能为大家带来超乎想象的奖励！



即刻上线，体验「沙场点兵」的竞技魅力吧！
