![]() ![]() In East Asian folklore, foxes are depicted as a familiar spirit possessed of magic powers. The nine-tailed fox or Huli jing (狐狸精 literally: "fox spirit") or jiuweihu (九尾狐 literally: "nine-tailed fox"), having been originated from Chinese mythology, is a common motif in the mythology of East Asian countries. The nine-tailed fox (九尾狐) in the Shanhaijing The tip of each tail has a different color from a rainbow. ![]() Just as the myth, she has fox nine tails. She also has a pair of traditional and difficult-to-wear geta(下駄), more specifically, "Tengu geta", which has only a single, thin and tall wooden base, or "tooth", compared to the usual geta. She wears white gradient thigh-high socks with red and blue strokes. She wears a very short red circular skirt with pressed-in ridges. Her top is composed of a white full-length sleeves shirt with a neckline that is cut very low in front, refers to wide, gently curving deep V, white gloves with white fur cuffs, a red ribbon and two red bows, a pocket at each side and at her left breast. She has yellow eyes accompanied with tapered red glasses.Ī giant green rope surrounds her neck with a gigantic bell attached to it. The warrior Lạc Long Quân and his army are said to have killed the fox and built a lake where his layer used to be- that lake today is the West Lake of Hanoi.Nine-tailed fox has white hair with rainbow highlights floating in the air and a purple task on the front of her head. The fox was a smart and cunning but extremely evil he would use tricks to lure humans out of their villages and then eat them when they came into the mountain. It is said that in Hanoi, there used to be a mountain where a nine-tailed fox lived, called the Hồ tinh. Vietnam has a specific story about the Hồ tinh and its influence in the country. Hanoi’s West Lake, known previously as “Fox Corpse pond” (Thi Hồ Trạch) (This trend was also observed in the west after Twilight, when a massive surge of TV shows and movies portrayed vampires and werewolves as attractive rather than scary) There is also the popular character ‘Ahri the Kumiho’ from the game “League of Legends”, a game played in Korea so much than it ranks number 1 in the top 10 most played PC games in the country. Kumihos seem to be especially prominent in South Korean modern culture, and their original images of evil creatures have been slowly changing thanks to their portrayals by the media in Shows or movies such as “My girlfriend is a Kumiho” (2010) and the TV hit “Gu Family Book” (2013). These foxes, like the ones in China, depended on humans for their immortality and would also turn into young girls to lure men, but they would keep their longevity by eating that man’s heart or liver. “Kumiho” in South Korea originally had very bad connotations unlike in China or Korea where these foxes are good-natured tricksters or loyal lovers, the Kumiho in Korea are seen as evil. However, Huli Jing are also portrayed in many stories as fun-loving tricksters who keep their word and can be good and loyal companions.Ī fan of “League of Legends” dressing up as the fox character ‘Ahri’ This belief has also been cited in China and South East Asia as a cause for a condition called Koro, a culture bound syndrome. The “Huli Jing” in China are said to be extremely wise, but they depend on humans to preserve their immortality many stories in Chinese literature portray foxes that transform into beautiful girls to lure men, and suck their life essence through consummation until their partner died. These foxes are a myth known around Asia, but the countries that they are the most popular in are China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam, where they are known as Huli Jing, Kitsune, Kumiho, and Hồ tinh respectively. The image of foxes in western culture portrays them as cunning tricksters, and this is not an exception for Asian culture. ![]() Also, they acquired magical powers that allowed them to turn into humans, usually young beautiful girls. Nine- tailed foxes are said to be ordinary foxes that lived 50 to 100 years, and as their age grew, so did their number of tails. Whether you play games like League of Legends, or grew up watching TV shows such as the Cartoon Network hit “Inuyasha”, you have probably come across this mythical creature before. That is why today I would like to talk about an eastern mythical creature that we see often, but a lot of people don’t really know the origin of- the Nine-Tailed fox. Even myths such as dragons from Europe and the Chupacabras from Latin America seem to be well known. I have always found the folklore and mythical creatures of different cultures very entertaining to learn about they range from scary, to cute, to plain bizarre! Most western mythical creatures are well known by the public- vampires, werewolves, witches, etc. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Later in the game, the War Galley and later Galleon take over as the main water units, decreasing the Byzantines' power relative to other naval powers. On mixed maps, this allows them to gain an early economic edge, which helps alleviate the Byzantines' main weakness of a weak economy. This is due to the faster firing rate on their Fire Galleys, giving them the most powerful Feudal Age water unit, as Galleys lose to Fire Galleys and Demolition Rafts are not an effective enough counter to compensate. On water, the Byzantines are one of the best during the early game. ![]() The Cataphract will be the ideal backbone of a Byzantine army with its solid statistics, though it requires significant investment. Monks are also very strong, thanks to their faster healing rate, giving them extra value when they are not converting. The discounted Imperial Age will help the Byzantines in this regard, as it means they can get the Imperial Age technologies faster than their opponent. In the Castle Age, Crossbowmen and Camels are the Byzantines' best offensive options, as the former has all upgrades, and the latter is significantly cheaper. One should always be careful to keep enough of an offensive threat to prevent the opponent from taking control of the map and securing themselves a position that the player cannot push. Generally, the Byzantines will play defensively due to their cheaper counter units and poor economy. They can flush with any Feudal units, although their Skirmishers and Spearmen are cheaper, allowing them to effectively counter an incoming flush. They are perfectly capable of Dark Age rushing (drushing) or Feudal Age rushing (flushing) if they want to. Typically, Byzantines will try to reach the Castle or Imperial Age as quickly as possible, since that is when their tech advantages shine. Lastly, they lack an economic bonus, which means that they tend to struggle to play offensively outside of their powerful bonuses. While their Cataphracts might seem like a replacement for the Paladin, it performs noticeably worse against cavalry and archers. Their siege weapons are also fairly lacking, missing Siege Onager, Heavy Scorpion, and Siege Engineers. This is aided with a considerable discount when researching the Imperial Age upgrade, giving them a strong power spike.Īge of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties ReviewĪlthough Byzantines have a complete Stable unit tree, their Stable units are considered weak because they lack Bloodlines and Blast Furnace upgrades. They also have great Arbalesters and Monks which, along with their discounted Camel Riders, are great offensive options. The Byzantines also have a strong navy with faster attacking Fire Ship in the early game and a full tech tree later. This pairs especially well with the Byzantines discounted counter units. Their unique unit, the Cataphract, excels at killing infantry and takes much less bonus damage. They also get Town Watch and Town Patrol for free, giving them better access to vision of their base. In addition, the Byzantines' Halberdiers, Skirmishers, and Camel Riders have a significant cost reduction. This makes taking down their buildings more difficult, especially their walls. Their buildings have bonus hit points which increase with every age. The Byzantines' primary strengths are defense and their ability to effectively counter a variety of troop types (infantry, ranged, and cavalry). 5.2 Disadvantages vs other civilizations.5 Compared advantages and disadvantages.3.3 Strategy changes in the Definitive Edition.3.2 Strategy changes in The African Kingdoms. ![]() ![]() Standard is your typical mode that most players should frequently use. It shows the line of where the ball is going to go, and hitting 100% is an effortless experience. The All-Play is perfect for young and inexperienced golfers. There's three swing difficulties in the game. This putting mode gives you just one club, and getting it in the hole is all about how hard and straight you hit it. There's also a brand new putting option, Precision Putting. If not, you need to manually adjust since the putt preview is a one time per hole deal. A putt preview gives you the option to check if your current shot set-up will make to the hole. How far you bring back the Wii remote makes the side gauge rise higher emulating your stroke strength. There's still the Classic Putting mode which has you utilizing a plethora of putters in attempts to sink your shots.

It's not as simple as analog control, but it makes the game that much more rewarding in the end. Thankfully, there's an ability to take practice swings on any shot with the push of a button. Perhaps not bringing the Wii remote so far back or not using as much speed on your follow-through. When push comes to shove, you'll need to adjust your own stance. In fact, some can have your ball roaring past the hole. Not all shots require 100% power to reach the green. ![]() The king of swing in the world of golf readies his shot. It's important to keep your wrists straight because you'll draw or fade the ball if you don't, sending your shot careening unintentionally to the left or right. Then again, 1:1 talk is just relegated to message board arguments anyway, so what it does it matter? It works well, and that's all that matters. ![]() ![]() WM+ reads how you move the club in an almost 1:1 fashion. That is, a soft, smooth stroke is all that is required. To drive the ball with 100% power you need not a strong swing but a smart one. At least not so much with MotionPlus attached. However you could cheat and not perform a full swing. Last year's installment worked adequately, and it read your swing. ![]() Let it be known that this small device clipped to the bottom of the Wii works, and it works wonderfully. Along with Grand Slam Tennis and Virtua Tennis 2009, Tiger Woods is one of the first games to utilize Nintendo's new peripheral. The biggest edition this year just so happens to be bundled with one of the SKUs of the game- Wii MotionPlus. Dropping the All-Play moniker and picking up Wii MotionPlus use, does Tiger Woods still swing with the best of them, or is it high time EA and the gang return to the clubhouse? This isn't the case at least for the Wii version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Usually there isn't a real reason to invest in yearly editions of sports franchises as they feel more like expansions than full-fledged new games. Last year, I was blown away by all of the content, features, and accessibility of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 All-Play. ![]() ![]() ![]() Second single “Take Me Out” exploded onto the international stage, putting the band firmly on the global map and was a precursor to their eponymous debut album which went on to sell nearly four million copies worldwide.Īrtistically always forging forward, their following albums, You Could Have It So Much Better (2005), Tonight: Franz Ferdinand (2009), Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action (2013) and Always Ascending (2018) all offered a new take on the Franz template and saw them work with some of the most pioneering producers around including Dan Carey, Joe Goddard and Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip, Todd Terje and Philippe Zdar.

It then reverses the two sets, placing ", " between them. This splits the contents of the Composer tag into two sections (or "sets"), the divider being the final space (that's the "(.*) (.*)" bit, meaning "any number of characters, then a final space, then any number of characters").

There are many cultivars available and the parent species is rarely seen. If the female plant produces fruits, they are small, black, round drupes that ripen in the fall. Japanese holly is dioecious, meaning that a separate male and female plant must be present for the female to be pollinated and produce fruit. It is also best to plant this shrub in protected areas to prevent damage from winter's cold winds. However, it may not thrive in areas with high heat and humidity such as the southern United States.
