There won’t be significant changes to the first few maps, so you needn’t replay the first few maps if you don’t want to.

I’m also really looking forward to the 4.0 release! Tried the game some years ago, but didn’t really commit to playing enough and dropped this. Been thinking about Eligor’s Spear lately and I’m really excited for a new major update to give it another go!

I’m going to do an experimental thing here and post patch notes a few days in advance. There’s quite a lot of them.
If you’re a returning player, you’ll get to see what has been changed. If you’re a new player, you’ll get to see what to expect.
And if you see something you’re vehemently against, voice your concern now and it might still get addressed - or alternatively, if you have ideas for any small changes you’d like to have implemented, it might still be possible to make that happen.
See below for a list of all the changes. There are spoilers in the notes, but I tried to blur the notes that are more revealing.
All patch notes:
Fixes
More typo fixes, dialogue revisions/additions/fixes
Fixed some discrepancies/inconsistencies
- we do not condone underage drinking in this establishment
- In ch11x Rest of the Wicked, changed the Eligor’s Spear in Grismond’s/Leanrith’s inventory to the version with a blade broken off
- fixed a bit of dialogue where Tsar weapons were still referred to as Aurum weapons
More portrait fixes/changes/additions
Fixed some palettes, almost all NPC units have unique palettes
Fixed an issue where Elizabeth or Biserka’s additional ending would display even if playing on Revival mode
Fixed a bug where the stronger version of Leraikha bow did not display critical hit animations in 1 range
Fixed a bug where a certain Game Over condition got incorrectly triggered
Fixed a bug where Ekpyrosis, Eschaton and Antithesis (Now Egregore) didn’t grant any WEXP
Fixed an issue where the support conversation room would display incorrect sprites for some characters
Had a loop issue with one of the custom songs fixed
General
Dead units now have their inventory sent to convoy at the end of the map if Revival mode isn’t enabled, meaning their items become available for the following map and onward
Added rest of the supports, character endings and guide entries
Increased the rate at which some supports are built
Added a little tutorial text blurb at the beginning of the game
Edited one of the Info entries
Added multiple new boss battle quotes
Added a new enemy type; the Dragonhorse
Added new enemy only weapons
The skill Great Shield has been removed
Gorgon Eggs (the variants that are weak to Slayer) are now weak to armor-effective weapons
The floor tiles that cure status ailments and grant Res +10 have been renamed to Ward, making it easier to differentiate it from other Floor tiles
Decreased the boost Thrones give to Resistance from +5 to +3
Units/Characters
Avanni and Camian have convoy access in all chapters: hopefully this will encourage you to split the main lords in different groups and have them build supports with others than between themselves

Grastus recruitment conditions/conditions for unlocking Gaiden: The Unforgiven have been slightly altered
Kirstelle → Kirstel
Jareck → Jarek

Another character has had changes to their base stats
Skylar has 9 con regardless of which class he was promoted to
Playable Grismond has had his Anima and Light magic ranks increased from C to B, allowing him to use siege tomes at base
Weapons
Heavy Spear → Armorpiercer (Heavy Bow already exists, and it doesn’t deal effective damage against armored units, so the Heavy Spear was renamed to differentiate it from the Heavy Bow)
Antithesis → Egregore
Zanbato → Longsword
Stinger Bow → Countersnipe
Angelic Harp → Saint’s Harp
Vigor Potion → Vigor Tonic
Increased Short Bow’s price
Removed crit from Spear

Increased WEXP gain for Shine and Thunder
Tower Lance and Battle Axe have had their MT increased by 1

Barbatos tome has been revamped: increased MT, but it can now backfire on the user
Bullseye Bow has been revamped: stats altered, new effectiveness and is now called Deadeye
Wail can now counterattack at 3 range, and has the Nosferatu effect added
Nightmare is now unable to counterattack, but it’s also no longer affected by Silence
Hystaspes now deals effective damage against monsters, like all other special S rank weapons
Chapters
There is a new anti-turtling/anti-stalling mechanic in ch3x On the Run
Adjustments to droppable items in ch6x Showdown at Sevna

One of the bosses in ch8x Those Who Wander had his Speed decreased by 1, the other boss’ Sword rank was increased to S
Fixed the height error with the broken wall in ch9x Ironclad City of Raugus

Some changes to Dragons in ch14x Hiranian Sands and enemy adjustments
Some cutscene changes for ch14x Hiranian Sands
Added dialogue to telegraph reinforcements in ch12x Even Towards Death and ch15x Dark Sun’s Solstice

Slight edits to map Final: Echoes of Madness, also made it harder to complete the map by warp skipping. Additionally, there is roughly 50% chance the boss will go to the left first
Final IIx Afterlife is much harder/impossible to cheese:
There is now a check in place which prevents the map from being cleared early through warp-skipping and sacrificing your own unit(s)
Edits to summons in Final IIx: Afterlife, including decrease to Cyclopes and Nerscylla Speed stats
Boss in ch8 Alchemist’s Lament has had Defense and Resistance decreased + slight increase to Luck
Phantoms can no longer obtain the Karkos Fruit in ch8 Alchemist’s Lament

it will no longer cause a Game Over
When playing on Revival Mode, units that were defeated in Final: Full Circle will now appear as per normal in Final II: Life and Death
Slight enemy position adjustment in Final II Life and Death on Hard mode

And the obligatory “other things I forgor about”

I’m seriously just refreshing FEUniverse multiple times a day to see if the patch has dropped… Idk I got a pretty boring month incoming and really really hyped for this!

Oooh boy, the end is near. I’ve been waiting SO long for this, it’s gonna be a blast!

It is done. Version 4.0 is now available. See the main post.
I’m now going to treat myself to something nice and wait for something to inevitably break, whether that’s tile changes or someone’s credit information.
I hope this is the final patch, but if there are, by any chance, gamebreaking issues I managed to overlook or inadvertently cause, of course those will be patched out. Anything more minor probably won’t, depends on what kind of issue it is.

Holy cow, what a milestone !
For the hack itself, obviously, for your own personal life, probably, and the Fire Emblem romhacking scene, indubitably - considering it’s one of the best hack ever worked on, let alone reaching its (intended) final version number.
My phone was conveniently destroyed in an accident a few weeks ago, losing my entire save data, so that’s the perfect excuse I needed to replay this game again.
And now, as I promised I would, I shall tackle the post-game content too~

I could ramble on about this for who knows how long, but the short of it is that I’ve always wanted to make a game of my own, and Fire Emblem romhacking, especially at the time, seemed like the most accessible way of doing it.
I hope you’re doing better now and managed to recover any lost data.

In Astaroth’s Lair, everyone was poisoned in the second round, and then the game was frozen.
And choosing to suspend is not to return to Warlord Lair Nexus.
I can only play with other lairs after you fix the bug.
Thanks for reporting.
I was able to recreate this issue in VBA, but not mGBA. This will be fixed later today, whether that is by completely removing the damage gimmick or not.
Edit: Released a hotfix for the issue reported by @Dizzlepath
If you were experiencing this issue, please Restart the chapter

When does Sabiqa appear? Is she even recruitable? Because she does have support pairings, yet she does not appear in the recruitment guide. And I am well into the runaway route, the gaiden chapter specifically.
OOoh, I see. It mus be that ??? - ??? at the bottom of the document. Well, it can’t be much more difficult than not killing that one assassin boss in the other route.
I’m going to need way more information before I can even begin investigating this.
