Actually, I feel quite deeply about this character.

Most Chinese players think that there are no real Chinese heroes in AOE II, they just want famous heroes in the history books like Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang and so on. I was once one of them, but now I'm trying to change my mind.

Different from General Su Dingfang or King Qian Yuanguan, Wang is just a general who failed. I've been wondering what made such a general enter a world-famous game with little record in history books. Maybe to show the success of Le Loi? When I realized that campaign narrator is him, I seem to have got the answer.

We certainly can't find out historically Wang Tong's real idea of this campaign, but I think in the strict Ming Dynasty, his decision to surrender must take a lot of courage, but also shows his inner desire for peace. On the one of campaign maps of Le Loi, the elder brother was carrying his younger brother on the surface of the sea. Even if big brother never minds, little brother will grow up and want to walk by himself. Big brother must learn to let go on that day.

General Wang Tong knew it and made it.
