First Look: The SGS English Guide Booklet

My jaw hit the floor when I saw what my graphic designer did.

An ancient secret manual?

Artistic talents are rare. In this aspect, my graphic designer is a true genius. I assure you the graphic work for the contents of this booklet is incredibly impressive. Of course, his services don't come cheap, but i'm willing to even make a loss for the creation of this booklet. Does not make sense to you? Let me explain.

FAQ Arbitrator needed

Know the game rules well? Take it to a new level.

It began about 2 weeks ago. In the 5 months leading up till then, I only received a question here and there about once a day. These questions primarily centered around character ability ambiguities and game rules. Suddenly, the floodgates opened about 2 weeks ago and i've been swamped with questions since. Just yesterday alone i received close to 20 questions! I'm left wondering... what happened? 

The Singaporean Influx

According to my blog statistics, the number of readers has been increasing steadily, with the most significant group of new visitors coming from none other than my home country, Singapore. Boy am i proud that my fellow countrymen are asking all the questions they can. After all, haven't we always been criticized for being passive learners? 

War Elephant 南蛮象 (nán mán xiàng)

Description:
Elephants are seldom part of Chinese history. Flip through 3000 years of wars and you will see countless mention of horses, but few about elephants. This is similarly reflected in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where only 1 chapter out of 120 mention this beast.

In chapter 90, the King of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Huo 孟获, has been repeatedly humiliated by Zhu Ge Liang 诸葛亮 in battle. In his desperation to revenge, Meng Huo receives news of another barbarian king known as King Mu Lu 木鹿 and asks for his help to defeat Zhu Ge Liang. Mu Lu rides on a (you guessed it) white elephant. Though there was little mention of other elephants beside the King's ride, it can  be understood that there are elephant warriors in the midst. One other barbarian king that appears in the same chapter is King Wu Tu Gu 兀突骨, also riding atop a white elephant. Both these kings were killed by the Shu army in the battles of Meng Huo vs Zhu Ge Liang.
