Ayy, thanks for the effort fellas! I’ve noticed your work, but I thought it would be more appropriate for your squad to announce the completion of the project. I’ve also noticed that you made a couple of small changes to the game, which are quite welcome. AVT can be kinda unforgiving to certain players, so having a “redux” version is very very appreciated. Do ya mind if I link the spanish translation page in the front of this thread?

Which difficulty would you recommend I play if I’m not good at Fire Emblem? Is Hard mode fair in most places?

There is only normal mode wich is hard enough.

Absolutely stellar hack.

Loved almost every minute of it. I can’t say I’ve ever played something that loves to toy with one’s greed so much. Both in map events and the weapons you have access to.

So much can go right or wrong in this hack and it’s just fun. It’s breezy. I care about the cast and looked forwards to seeing what everyone had to say to paint a clearer picture of this wide world we only get to see a sliver of.

The gist of the plot is little generic but it’s done and experienced in such a unique way.

Zeke kept me entertained from start to finish. A real charming rogue who lives on the edge that perfectly sums up of the adventure he and his crew went on.

Tbh I’d love to highlight my favorite units but I’d be here all day, you have a real talent for creating specialized units. Bonus shoutouts to Carmela finding fucking mushrooms to use. Idk what the fuck inspired those.

I just started this hack and really enjoying it so far (I’m in chapter 3). Question about promotions - am I expected to promote units right away at level 10? Since the game is only ten chapters long (and chapters don’t seem to be longer than usual), I feel like the standard strategy of promoting units at level 16-20 won’t be feasible.

I’m entering the final chapter now. Very nice hack - good story and gameplay. I only wish it was longer c:

Here are the units I used throughout the game with some commentary on each:

Units

image
I really enjoyed the concept of a thief lord. Pretty good combat utility with magic swords, especially after feeding him a couple stat boosters.

image
Thief 2: Electric Boogaloo. Sword users with high avoid are always useful, so I kept him around despite his redundancy with Ezekiel.

image
Kind of slow, but carried some situations with her Prf bow in early chapters and was always good for some chip damage.

image
Strong boi good at capturing enemy units.

image
I used him because his unexpectedly high con allowed him to be good at capturing too. His high HP makes him a pretty solid tank.

image
Really interesting concept to have a mage warrior. Again, I chose him over other candidates because of his con. I also like his name (I assume it’s a reference to the monk in Journey to the West).

image
With the game being rather short, Paragon is an extremely valuable skill since it allowed him to jump ahead in levels quickly. Very good frontline combat unit - I fed him some stat boosters.

image
What a tank! I gave him the Speedwing for the last chapter and am expecting good things.

image
Damn, this guy is ugly. But staff users are always helpful, and his ability to use Physic as well as combat magic got him a spot in my final squad.

image
Typical staff user with good utility due to his personal skill. I subbed him out for Yehoshua for the final chapter since there’s limited deployment slots.

image
Good combat unit, but I always shy away from fliers if there’s other comparable units since they’re so squishy against archers, so she didn’t make the final cut.

image
Swordie healer? Very cool. Also, booba.

image
Good at providing chip damage from range, and usually doubled enemies due to his speed.

I can only highly recommend this hack, so much fun, so much love to details, I enjoy this the whole time.
All the little secrets, it’s so well done!

Hi Is there a secret guide I can look up to know how to get these secret events ? I hate missing out on contents

I can’t tell you how much I love that this Hack has a Map with Location written on it :heart_eyes:

rescuing Schmidt from his cell made the UI’s color Goes to white:



:rofl:


Talking to Alyssa with Liquirizia to recruit Her caused this bug
Talking to Alyssa with Coventry does not cause this bug

Hello there! There is no secret events guide. If you want some hints, you will have to ask around! Thanks for reporting the issue. I am prepping a version with all of the necessary fixes, I am just too lazy to compile it. Stay safe!

Finally I finish the Hack Thank You for creating such a enjoyable experience for me and everyone. I will miss the adventure of Ezekiel and his band of Thieves. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
See ya chief, have a good one :grin:

Below are my Thoughts about the Hack

Ezekiel is the most colorful protagonist I have ever met. You did so well to write about his characters and bond with the other members of the group. It is funny to me how a band of thieves doing their regular routine ended up saving the country from a Dragon Wrath. :joy:

My Favorite Chapter was the Nightshade Prison escape. You had to split your units up to turn on the 2 switches while securing an escape path when Ezekiel was out of his magical cell, It really made my Heart Race in a good way. The Map that show the Group movement across the country was a really nice touch I really appreciate it.


My Favorite portrait is Escarra. You can tell how self centered he is just by looking at his face and his confident smile. He was the one I gave Morning Lotus to since he fits the description of the best sword user in the land.

One Last Look at the core members of the band of thieves.

I love these guys so much because of how simple and caring they are to each other.


Mark My Words he will find himself inside a prison once again one of these days with his thrill seeking attitude


She Was my 2nd in command and one who show real care to everyone in the team like a mother who worries about her children.
Was hoping that when they turn old and grey Ezekiel and Helena would stay together because beside her I don’t think Ezekiel can find anyone else who truly care for him this much. I know she would be willing.


Samir, a man of the sea, was saddened when he got lost on a deserted island while sailing. Had hoped that this might give him a chance to meet a woman he could truly love and live with her alone on the island, raising children together, away from the prying eyes of the world.


The Little Sister of the group always cheerful and loving. She always has her heart in the right place. :heart:


Anatolij my man finally put down his sword and pick up the pen. Love that ending for him. I guess he is the one writing the story of this adventure canonically and we are playing the game in his perspective.


Found it satisfying that he finally get to be with the woman he loves and enjoying a simple life.

Also If you are wondering why their stats are max out, my answer is: I cheated like a thief would have :laughing:

Was wondering about any info releated to map secrets avaliable anywhere and if there is any secret shop and the staple cards?

From the little i played this is a hack i have to play more of eventually.
having so many hacks that seem interesting on top of plenty games i still need to finish on switch i will never get bored ever lo l. Have to say i like the cast quite much . Ezekiel is a top tier mc

I only recommend this for people who have already beaten the game because I think random unpredictable shit happening is part of AVT’s charm but you can just open the game in febuilder lol.
