There will still be red bars for life above enemy officer heads right? I really really hope so. I hope so
I think in the trailers they just removed it in options?

I've always enjoyed Xu Huang myself as well, but even I have a hard time trying to determine good relations he can have with other characters. Even if its just a stretch of my own imagination, I'd kinda like to see Wang Ping (hopefully a future addition) be a student of sorts to Xu Huang. Wang Ping serves Wei and under Xu Huang directly before he defects to Shu, I'd kinda like to see Xu Huang be a teacher to Wang and try to lead him into making his own path towards becoming a true warrior which in essence leads to Wang Ping joining Shu.
It'd be a pretty decent attempt at giving Xu Huang extra relations, and it would give Wang Ping a foundation to begin on as well.
lol, the only problem with that scenario was that Xu Huang was a block head and arrogant, he tried to copy Liu Bang's fame commander Han Xin when Han Xin lead his outnumbered troops against Chen Yu and Zhao Xie during the Chu-Han contention era and put his troop's backs against the water in the battle of Nanzheng against the Shu army. He thought that putting his troops to certain death situation would motivate them to fight harder against Liu Bei's troops, just like Han Xin did which brought him victory. lol he was wrong. When Wang Ping tried to convince him that it was a disaster to order such a plan, he ignored him and when he was defeated, he tried to kill Wang Ping for criticizing him, thats why Wang Ping defected to Shu. Xu Huang wouldn't have been a good role-model. lol, no offense to any Xu Huang admirers here, I do like Xu Huang "IN" DWs games. lol thats just what superiors do. as a lower rank he had no right to critisize him

Xu Huang wasn't very bright in my opinion, he was only good for fighting.

The quest for knowledge is the guy in my sig. *points down*
But yeah, best to leave him to fighting and such. I'm perfectly okay with that- I'm just glad they keep him mellowed and sensible about it as opposed to just making him some rageful meathead.
We got enough NPCs for that role, thank you very much.

I think I remember reading something about Xu Huang avoiding making friends in history. ing ing ing.
Even then, he needs something to spice him up as a character. He was no doubt an epic general fleshed out even further with the novel's additions to his merit. Should Fan be split into two battles for Wei, the first part should go to Cao Ren, the second to Xu Huang for utterly breaking Shu's army.
Earlier someone mentioned how because of relationships and honor Guan Yu let Cao Cao go at the escape from Chibi, then how Xu Huang cared for none of that and fought Guan Yu at Fan. Really nice comparison, I never really thought of it that way.
ya but when xu defected to wei the soldier sent to him told him to kill his old leader before he left but xu thought that would be disrespectful so he didnt so theres a line there somewhere Mmhm, I remember the scene well enough. During the fight between Li Jue v. Guo Si v. Yang Feng/Han Xian v. Cao Cao and others, after the day's battle, impressed with Xu Huang's might, Cao Cao sends for someone to recruit him to their side. Man Chong, an old friend of Xu Huang's, volunteers and in the night stows away to the camp of Yang Feng.
Man Chong presents the offer of defection to Xu Huang and also requests that he slay Yang Feng, but with a sigh Xu Huang rejects, since it'd be dishonorable to slay his lord.
But what did you mean by "theres a line there somewhere"? Your quote was too broad for me to know.
You mean him avoiding making friends?

Cao Cao and others, after the day's battle, impressed with Xu Huang's might, Cao Cao sends for someone to recruit him to their side.

But what did you mean by "theres a line there somewhere"? Your quote was too broad for me to know. You mean him avoiding making friends? ah sorry, we were talkin about how the moment guan yu left just like that he went after to kill guan yu. but he wouldnt kill his old lord back then. so theres a line somewhere that he wont go over if its his duty to do something

Haha, Chibi you're so funny.
Lu Meng was a pretty well balance and all around general. I wish Koei would have made his design a bit better.

Warrior and strategist, combined into one! But, then again I suppose I have somewhat of a biased opinion on the matter.

Wandering scholar...(He still needs to shave. lol)
But yeah he's a cool character, I do think this design was better than his previous designs in past DWs. (Just my opinion)

What I liked Lu Mengs moveset it was simple but it fit he perfectly in my opinion an i liked hes weapon to The only thing I thought was kind of stupid was Lu Meng's Charge Attack 1, the fire ball, it was so crappy 
BTW, how come it seems everyone is talking about Xu Huang and his great axe? I thought he has some weird pike or something? (from the video and screenies, he doesn't have the epic axe anymore D:)
Kind of not wanting to read through 3 pages of extremely long paragraphs, at night lol
Too bad the game is coming out a week later, makes me getting the game even slimmer. I just hope best buy will make the right choice and put it for 39.99 after a week or two to through out some copies (they did it with War For Cybertron, 39.99, it sold out fast, but I doubt many will buy DW7, so THAT'S A +!)

Eh, all the strategist or strategist-like characters had that charge in DW4, DW5 and WO, from what I remember. Always preferred it in 5 because you could set up little bombs, but yeah, those were never really THAT effective. Good for stunning, but otherwise not that great.
As for how the Xu Huang conversation started... I honestly can't remember. I'm sure we've seen him with an Axe, but chances are it's the same moveset as the Pikes. Just the appearance is different.

Xu Huang was actually decently smart he just isn't portrayed that way in the novel because the author is very heavily shu biased and made every wei guy seem, arrogant, evil, or stupid. I have one friend who likes the games but he isn't really into it. He thinks the game is fun but he couldn't really get into a full conversation about the era like I could. He tries to understand though so he started reading RoTK about 2 months ago. But ya almost all my friends play halo, CoD, sports games, racing games, and WoW. Most of them think dw is gay for some reason, maybe because the names are really asian? I'm not sure though, something about the game though is usually unappealing to the average American teenager.

Xu Huang ain't no blockhead!
The dude had great tactical successes as well.
That scene was just a case of his cartoonish ideals of might getting too warped for him to control.
Other than that, it's really difficult to fault him for anything--especially not as a fighter, as he did even better against Xu Zhu than Dian Wei did.

That's a pretty bold statement to make without much historical evidence. =P. Keep in mind that DWs games are based of ROTTK(the novel). Also at least 70% of the content in the novel is pretty in line with the historical records if you have read the Sanguo Zhi(Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms). There are only certain things that Luo Guanzhong changed just to make the story enjoyable to the general audience at that time.

That's exactly why every American or western game critic or website gives the game a crappy rating everytime DW games comes out. Most western audience aren't into Asian based historical games. If you ever go to Asia, the Dynasty Warriors francise is so popular practical every teen or gamers has at least heard about the game or played it. DW is extremely popular in Asia compared to the western world.

DW is extremely popular in Asia compared to the western world. he was pretty smart. he made han fan surrender without any blood shed by writing a letter of persuation and shooting it on an arrow into their castle. also while facing guan yu Knowing that most of his soldiers were composed of new recruits without training, Xu did not go into battle straight away but camped behind the enemy to impose a deterrence effect. Meanwhile, he instructed his men to dig trenches around the nearby enemy city of Yancheng () in a pretense to cut off supplies into the city. The enemies were deceived and abandoned their position. Xu then established a foothold in Yan. so ya he was a pretty smart guy

Are you talking about the Dynasty Warriors(the novel) or the exact history?
I don't think using sources from wikipedia is pretty reliable. lol.
Keep in mind we're talking about Dynasty Warriors(the novel based game), not the history of Xu Huang's achievements, which I agree he was a bit more brighter in history.
