In my previous post, I setup game from prompts shared by others. This time, I’m excited to share that I’ve crafted my own game prompt. The cultural backdrop is the Sung dynasty of ancient China and you are defending City of Xiangyang against Mongol horde!
The game is about Chinese. Can I have the game in Chinese? LLaMA 3 struggles with understanding and writing Chinese. On the other handed, Chinese-fine-tuned LLaMA 3 models lack the ability to take instructions well. As a result, the game is translating text from English to Chinese. Chines game play locates in this section
I have played the game three times. The game endings are very interesting. One is where I escape from the city that’s been destroyed (thanks to a brave solider sacarifying himself), another is where I push a cart full of gunpowder into the Mongol camp and break the siege, and finally there’s one where the Emperor of Sung leads an army to lift the siege and defeat the Mongol invaders!
English Game Play
Below is another creative game plays:
You wake up from a barrack in the city of Xiangyang, feeling a bit groggy from a long night of sleep. As you stretch your arms and look around, you notice that the defense soldiers are gathered near the city gate, looking worried. One of them approaches you.
Defense Guard 1: “Greetings, hero! We’re in a bit of a pickle here. Our gunpowder supplies are running low, and we don’t know how to make more of it. Can you help us figure out what’s going on?”
The defense soldiers are conscripts who cannot read and have no knowledge of chemistry or the modern world. They rely solely on oral tradition and practical skills.
Your Current Situation:
City Defense: 0
Mongol Assault: 2 (outnumbering the defense 10 to 1)
Technological Innovation: 0
What would you like to do, hero?
The defense soldiers exchange worried glances. It seems your “cooking lesson” hasn’t quite gone as planned.
Story Progress: 0
City Defense: 0
Mongol Assault: 2 (outnumbering the defense 10 to 1)
Technological Innovation: 0
Rise of Crisis: 1 (the situation is becoming more dire by the minute)
The defense soldiers start to get restless, and the tension in the air becomes palpable. The city gate creaks ominously in the wind.
**What would you like to do next, hero? Will you try to redeem yourself with a new approach or continue down the path of… creative culinary experimentation?
The defense soldiers start to murmur among themselves, clearly confused and concerned by your suggestion.
Story Progress: 1
City Defense: 0
Mongol Assault: 2 (outnumbering the defense 10 to 1)
Technological Innovation: 0
Rise of Crisis: 2 (the situation is becoming more dire by the minute, and the city’s fate hangs in the balance)
The tension in the air becomes even more palpable as the defense soldiers exchange worried glances. The sound of Mongol drums grows louder on the other side of the gate.
**What would you like to do next, hero? Will you try to salvage the situation or continue down the path of… unorthodox socializing?
Story Progress: 2
City Defense: -1 (the gate is now open, and the Mongols are pouring in)
Mongol Assault: 3 (the Mongols are now inside the city walls, and the defenders are on the back foot)
Technological Innovation: 0
Rise of Crisis: 4 (the situation has reached a critical point, and all hope seems lost)
**You’ve opened the gate to let the Mongols in. The city is now under attack. What do you do next?
Story Progress: 3
City Defense: -2 (the city is now completely overrun by the Mongols)
Mongol Assault: 4 (the Mongols have taken control of the city and are pillaging its riches)
Technological Innovation: 0
Rise of Crisis: 5 (the situation has reached a catastrophic point, and all seems lost)
You’ve abandoned your comrades to flee from the city. The consequences will be dire. What do you do next?
(Note: As the hero, you can choose to return to the city and try to make amends, or continue fleeing from the Mongols. Your choice will determine the outcome of the story.)
You: “Hoo-ah! I’m the greatest kung fu master the world has ever seen! Prepare to meet your maker, Mongol scum!” (You charge into battle, determined to take down every last one of them. The Mongols are taken aback by your sudden bravery and ferocity.)
Combat Begins: You face off against a group of Mongol warriors. Your kung fu skills are unmatched, but their sheer numbers will be a challenge.
Your Health: 100
Mongol Warriors: 10
You start to take down the Mongols one by one, using your incredible speed and agility to dodge their attacks. As you fight, the city’s defenders begin to re-emerge, inspired by your bravery. They join the battle, taking on the remaining Mongol warriors.
Story Progress: 4
City Defense: -2 (the city is still occupied, but there’s a glimmer of hope)
Mongol Assault: -3 (the Mongols are being pushed back, but they’re not yet defeated)
Technological Innovation: 0
Rise of Crisis: 5 (the situation is still critical, but you’ve given the city a chance to fight back)
The battle rages on. What do you do next?
(Note: You can choose to continue fighting the Mongols, try to rescue any prisoners, or help the city’s defenders regroup and plan their counterattack.)
City Defenders: “HOO-AH! WE’VE DONE IT! WE’VE DEFEATED THE MONGOLS!” (The city’s defenders cheer as they emerge from the ruins to survey the aftermath. The Mongols are no more, and the city is finally free from their grasp.)
Story Progress: 5
City Defense: 1 (the city has been liberated)
Mongol Assault: -4 (the Mongols have been defeated and their army destroyed)
Technological Innovation: 1 (the discovery of gunpowder has opened up new possibilities for the city’s defenders)
Rise of Crisis: 0 (the crisis has passed, and a new era of peace and prosperity begins)
You’ve won the battle! The city is safe, but at what cost? The destruction caused by your explosion will take time to repair. What do you do next?
(Note: You can choose to help with the rebuilding efforts, explore the aftermath of the battle, or seek out new challenges and adventures.)
As you teleport back to your own world, you can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. You’ve saved the city from certain destruction, defeated the Mongol army, and even discovered new technologies along the way.
But as you return to your original world, you can’t shake the feeling that there are more adventures waiting for you out there. Maybe in a different time period, or on a distant planet. Who knows? The possibilities are endless!

Chinese Game Play
你從襄陽城的一個軍營中醒來，漫長的一夜睡眠感到有點昏昏沉沉。當你伸展雙臂環顧四周時，你注意到士兵聚集在城門附近，看起來很擔心。其中一人走近你。
士兵1：「英雄，你好！我們在這裡有點麻煩。我們的火藥供應已經不多了，我們不知道如何製造更多的火藥。你能幫我們弄清楚發生了什麼嗎？
應徵入伍的士兵，他們不識字，對化學或現代世界一無所知。他們完全依靠口頭傳統和實踐技能。
您目前的情況：

**英雄，你接下來想做什麼？你會嘗試用一種新的方法救贖自己，還是繼續沿著…創意烹飪實驗？
士兵們開始互相竊竊私語，顯然對你的建議感到困惑和擔憂。

你已經拋棄了你的戰友逃離了這座城市。後果將是可怕的。你接下來要做什麼？
（注：作為英雄，你可以選擇返回城市並嘗試彌補，或者繼續逃離蒙古人。你的選擇將決定故事的結果。
你：“呜呜！我是世界上最偉大的功夫大師！準備去見見你的製造者，蒙古敗類！（你衝鋒陷陣，決心打倒他們中的每一個人。蒙古人被你突如其來的勇敢和兇猛嚇了一跳。
戰鬥開始：你面對一群蒙古戰士。你的功夫技能無與倫比，但他們的絕對數量將是一個挑戰。
您的健康： 100
蒙古勇士： 10
你開始一個接一個地擊倒蒙古人，利用你令人難以置信的速度和敏捷性來躲避他們的攻擊。當你戰鬥時，城市的守衛者開始重新出現，受到你的勇敢的鼓舞。他們加入了戰鬥，與剩餘的蒙古戰士作戰。
故事進度：4
城市防禦：-2（城市仍然被佔領，但還有一線希望）
蒙古突擊：-3（蒙古人正在被擊退，但他們還沒有被擊敗）

戰鬥仍在繼續。你接下來要做什麼？
(注意：你可以選擇繼續與蒙古人作戰，嘗試營救任何囚犯，或説明城市的守軍重新集結並計劃他們的反擊)
城市衛士：「呜！我們做到了！我們打敗了蒙古人！（這座城市的守軍從廢墟中走出來，調查善後情況時歡呼雀躍。蒙古人已經不在了，這座城市終於擺脫了他們的控制。）
故事進度： 5.

危機的興起：0（危機已經過去，和平與繁榮的新時代開始了）
你已經贏得了這場戰鬥！這個城市是安全的，但代價是什麼？爆炸造成的破壞需要時間來修復。你接下來要做什麼？
（注意：你可以選擇説明重建工作，探索戰鬥的後果，或尋找新的挑戰和冒險。）
當你傳送回自己的世界時，你會情不自禁地感到一種滿足感和成就感。你拯救了這座城市免於毀滅，擊敗了蒙古軍隊，甚至沿途發現了新技術。
但是當你回到原來的世界時，你無法擺脫這種感覺，即那裡有更多的冒險等著你。也許在不同的時期，或者在遙遠的星球上。誰知道呢？可能性是無窮無盡的！
