Time for the 0.9 release. As far as when 1.0 will come out, it may be a bit. I realized these last couple days I have far too much of a perfectionist attitude, so I want to take care of that first.
The changes in this release (from vanilla) are :
-
Lilina has a new lord class, can seize, is involved in story like Lyn or Hector in Eliwood’s campaign, has 2 prf weapons (both of these, and Roy’s Rapier, are given through events). like Roy, and it is game over if she dies (she is not required like Roy is).
-
Lilina’s lord class can use staffs, Roy can use lances from the start of the game. Roy also promotes with Knight Crest. They both start with 6 move and get 7 upon promotion. Same for thieves(rogues). Bard/Dancer, and Fae’s manakete all have with 6 move.
-
Male and Female Rogue class has been added. They promote with Hero’s Crest.
-
Status Staffs are dead (unusable). All player obtainable status staffs are replaced with Physic.
-
“Bad” units like Roy have had their growths redistributed, and some had bases boosted. A few units like Hugh, Oiger, Barth, Astolfo, and Sophia are pre-promotes. All units come at a (hopefully) reasonable level for the time they join.
-
Fog of War removed.
-
Ambush reinforcements moved to player turn. Along with this, repeated reinforcements removed. In the late game the one and only wave is promoted.
-
Throwing Axe animations use regular (bigger axes)
-
A few small map changes. These include annoying mechanics like desert treasures were removed from ch. 14 and spread out through out the game, Sacae ch 18 random reinforcement removed. Sacae ch 19 made easier to traverse (shown in screenshots), Chapter 20x of Sacae only has one seizable point, Ch 21x chests actually have treasure and are not trapped, and 12x “treasures” (besides the white gem) have been changed to red gems.
-
Gaiden (x) chapter requirements overhauled. No turn limit, and the only living unit requirements are from the chapter before the gaiden (no more forgetting to recruit Ziess).
-
Final battle redesigned. Screenshot at bottom of post. Nothing is effective vs final boss, but it is always treated as if you beat final boss with the binding blade.
-
route splits chosen by yes/no prompt. Optional casual mode available the same way.
-
Staffs give 20 exp as default (double) and staffs only take 10 uses to rank up.
-
Cit boost was disabled and killer weapons and wo dao’s crit was lowered by 10 points.
-
Fae’s dragonstone has 50 uses and more can be bought for 15k a piece from both secret shops.
-
Hard mode option available from the beginning.
-
Bows have 1-2 range, and only shortbow and aircalibur is effective vs fliers.
Other than what is listed, unless I forgot something, everything else is same as vanilla.
Now for the thanks :

-
circleseverywhere & 7743 for the casual mode flag
-
Hextator & 7743 for the 01command hack (used for loops in custom animations).

DC version credits :
Weapon EX lock by 7743
Delphi shield negates all special effects by Fe6 analysis material.
Now for the link. Note that everything in the resources folder is free to use, so long as I am given credit for whatever part of it is mine in the end. Also, for those who don’t know the fixed growth version is a mod where growths are fixed, which tends to make the game less RNG dependent, but more difficult since you often end up with less stats at max level. Without futher ado here is the link :

Thanks all for the kindness you’ve shown me!
