And can Zuiho have like 8 con so she can at least wield lightning without slowing down? Also gave her a lightning to carry.

Actually, Bards in this hack will have 6 CON, and since the Lightning tome has 6 Weight it will fit their constitution perfectly. Hope it’s great enough, since I don’t want to go too overboard with what they, as well as Dancers, already can do.

Wait i just realized that Josiah is the boss for chapter 24/26 Unfulfilled Heart. Should I write some battle quotes and defeat quote for Josiah in that chapter?
Also i did update Josiah growth rates to reach up to 305 like you said.

Also I know this may be a weird request but can Zuiho get Athos lock? Like I think it could be cool for her to be able to wield Athos’s light tome in the final map. I don’t want Zuiho to be the only one but I think it could be a cool way to show the player her true power, she won’t be secretly a dragon or something like that but she is an user of the Athos light tome. (Plus it could be a fun option to reward players who trained her, as she probably can’t reach s rank light tomes she isn’t excluded from being a dragonslayer. Because as we know she will be gone for a big part of the game because of Ninian.)

Luckily you don’t need to worry about it Tritra; The ‘Athos Lock’ check only considers the Forblaze tome instead (something that I’m still working on restrictions, will depend on the Athos replacer).
The Aureola tome, the one that you mentioned, can actually be used by any S Rank light tome user in vanilla, even if it starts in Athos inventory, and this will not change in this hack. So Zuiho will indeed also be able to wield it, provided she can get up to S Rank like you said, all good!
Yes actually! Oh and also, since you gave Josiah a Tomahawk in his inventory, i can make his boss version wield a ‘Uber Tomahawk’ as a replacement of Vaida’s ‘Uber Spear’.
Will be quite a coincidence if @Dex makes a Leila replacer that has as one of their characteristics be drunk on the job or something like that lol.

I made Robin hate drunks as a reference to how apparently if Robin dies in Gaiden, Gray becomes an alcoholic. But thats a funny coincidence.

Although… Unpromoted units can only go to A-rank. If I recall correctly so Zuiho won’t be able to reach S-rank. But I still suppose it is fine, a bard is already pretty based in it of itself. (Though there may be a patch removing that or bards count as promoted.)

Another Zuiho note is that like… her foresight will be motivational speeches.
She tells you the challenges and how you can beat them easily.
“Don’t worry, the enemy may have tons of mages but mages are weak to our willpower! If we rush them with our strongest knights even if they were sages it would not be of any use! [Tactician], show them why you were ace of your class! Oh? I don’t care if you actually were, if you can make people think you are the best of class you are the best of the best out here on the battlefield!” an example.
btw I think I would love to write an Amelia / Zuiho support. Especially since getting it would be hell lol. Like you only get Zuiho in Eliwood mode a few chapters before the end and you can just stop and grow a support between Amelia and Zuiho.
But I genuienly think it could be a sweet support, about how Amelia is Zuiho`s ideal human being. Amelia being a nobody who went above and beyond. A zero to hero.

Whoops! Talk about an oversight, lol. In that case I’ll re-think who I wanna take the slot of and come with somethin’ fresh.

So both Marcus (which Amelia is replacing) & Ninian (to be sure that no bugs happen when Nils inherit Ninian’s stats) have less support partners than the limit of 7, which means there is free space for the both of them and i might be able to insert a new support convo between Amelia and Zuiho.
Feel free to write it then post here. Do hope it works well! 
Looks awesome! Can’t wait to have it working in the hack, and I’m also fine with both bases since the 0 Lck is quite the challenge to overcome plus you already counted the boons/banes which is great.
One thing uhhh, the Trickster’s Con is… quite a lot lol. A lower Con will be serviceable from what i can tell as the Spd is very solid, plus it would be a detriment for some units to be able to rescue her (also, i actually lowered Sol Katti’s Weight by -4 in this hack, i believe you put it with that in mind?)
If you could adjust the promo gains for a total of +18 sum (including Con, Mov doesn’t matter) while lowering the Con to let’s say 9-10, everything will be A-OK by me, even the 7 Mov!

When [Lundgren Replacement] orders Malloy to stop Aireth from reaching Caelin. Malloy ends up running away and only return once the conflict was over.

Also here’s Josiah battle quote for Unfulfilled Heart.
Josiah: Hate me all you want, it won’t matter! I’m only doing this for the name of House Cornwell. We been in Lycia shadows for far too long! It time for a change. Fight onward!
Here’s his defeat quote as well.
Josiah: You fought honorably. I will leave you alone for the time being. I must report my failed attempt to defeat you to my brother Marquess Cornwell at once. He not going to like what i have to hear.

Ty for the Josiah quotes, will make sure to put them correctly! One thing, in vanilla Vaida is actually gone for good if you manage to kill her as a boss, so do you want the same to be true for Josiah or you want him to still appear later even if players defeat him as a boss (since his defeat quote can actually go both ways)?
Now for Malloy well, both Reissmann & Hausen are reserved for Lyn replacer, in this case for @Taylor, and I don’t want the NPC thing to happen again as I don’t even have anything as compensation left lol.
You could repurpose Malloy as a boss if you wish, as you still have a boss slot left.

Btw will it be ok for me to rewrite the augury as well? Basically like have zuiho speak her lines? And like how will the story be btw? Will it be rewritten at all? Trimmed down?
These things are important to me because Zuiho replaces a key character in the plot one that is even featured in a CG! (Ready to redraw that too lol.)
3 Likes
Yeah, I will rewrite the story, even why is there ‘Personality’ in the templates to help me!
Feel free to send me as much of the augury lines as you think you can, the CG too (that would be awesome). Would help me a lot, and I’ll definitely credit you in the Readme when i finish the hack.

Okay! I will do so!
Btw I recommend making things easy on you if possible. Like rewriting a whole game is tough, so you can do things that reduce the workload such as certain support conversations being skipped if you don’t have something for every pair.
I can also go a bit more into detail for Zuiho if you need. But I hope what I gave and will give with the support convo and sugary will help you!
Good luck and stuff! I really hope Zuiho will help this hack and be worthy of a “major support character”.
Like I don’t just want to slap her in because “she is the protagonist from my rom hack” I want to make her a character that works within this game.
And then there is Amelia, who I hope to be an interesting addition in her own right. Mostly because I like the idea of a trainee unit reversing her role and then being rewarded for her work and becoming the jagen.
I want to make them both work.
I will get to write their stuff soon.

Description: The Marquess of Zem joined Daimler regime and became his right hand man. He performs some awful experiments on his victims.
Battle Quote: Relax! I’m not going to kill you. I just want to bring you back to Zem. And make you a permanent soldier in my army!
Death Quote: Gwaa… haa… killing me won’t do you any good… Daimler will succeed in his goal… to take over all of Elibe… you have already… failed…
Personality: Dreyfus is the Marquess of Zem a house of Lycia that doesn’t have many resources nor the soldiers as well. And Dreyfus doesn’t want to spend much money on hiring sellswords for the job. So he goes around Elibe and kidnap anyone he could find and bring them back Zem where Dreyfus experiment on them. They are brainwash to become unquestioning soldiers with no free will of them own. And the failed experiments the ones that failed to become Dreyfus soldiers are drop off in some bandit hideouts where there are most likely killed. Making Dreyfus far more evil than Daimler who had regular soldiers instead. And is so hated by everyone that even his own allies are disgusted by Dreyfus experiments. Such as Adira Norton Josiah and even Daimler himself. After Adira is killed at the Dragon’s Gate and was able to locate Thorne, Anthea and Aireth at Badon, Daimler send Dreyfus and his whole army there to stop them. Not because he hoping that Dreyfus would win, will a little bit yes but mainly so he can have Dreyfus killed. Daimler doesn’t want him by his side anymore.
Inventory: Silver Axe. Spear. Elixir. Light Rune
Boon: Str
Bane: Lck
I want Josiah to still appear in Cog of Destiny even if you do manage to defeat him in Unfulfilled Heart.
