FE8 PME, including maps (Abandoned)

Hello I am that lurker that created and account and posted a ROM hack out of nowhere. I have actually been around longer than it seems.

I thought I’d make a PME, while in between projects, to connect to the community a bit more, or just to stroke my ego who knows lol. However my one main issue I’ve had with PMEs being how it’s the same GBA maps, which I have played so many times before, so this PME will also include custom maps, which may be bad idea but I won’t know until I try lol.

Unit Rules

growths total can be max 300%
Can give either the base stats or a bane/boon for player units. No overpowered units (if the stars are too high across the board I will communicate with you to adjust them)
Bosses must be bane/boon, for stats
Skillsystems will be installed each unit can have 1 personal skill.
Custom weapons are fine, just make sure to list how they work they could be either hard or soft unit locked.
Some custom classes are allowed: specifically classes from other FE games such as dark knight, war monk, etc.
Anyone can be replaced by a trainee, and the trainees Don’t need to stay a trainee. (Max 3 trainees, unless you make the palletes for them)
Up to Four playable units max per person, no limit on bosses

Map Rules

Try to keep the maps to a similar size as the vanilla ones they are replacing, use the FE8 tilesets, I may allow the FE7 snow tileset but I need to check to make sure I have any unused I can replace.
You can list an enemy placement or not, either way is fine.
For now just Erika route maps, unless I get lots of map submissions then I will allow Ephraim maps too.
make sure to add any details you have for tile changes or items.
You can submit as many maps as you’d like.

I’ll have skill systems, I accidentally posted it before writing everything I intended to so I’ll be updating the post in a bit with the rest of the info.

Sounds interesting.

well then, I’d like to suggest some changes for the peg knight and knight bases, for knights easy enough change, make their base HP 20, for pegs:
Buff their bases to:

I think this will help make these classes better especially for enemies

I will make a color palette for him later. A question about the bases, should we write their final bases or just the personal bases that will be added to the class bases? I wrote for the former.

Edit: Sorry for any incovenience, but the old portrait had a small problem in the mini mug, so I changed the portrait for this one.

Magic Jagen those are fun, and final bases is best. I will always appreciate palletes, I can do them they just take a while when you have to do a lot of them.

I’ll also note here if no weapon ranks are listed I will just make it whatever the highest rank weapon in the inventory is for that weapon type.

Fringus, Because zero bases if you want to allocate another 50% bonus to growths, so new total being 350, go ahead.

Is that -3 con i see thats 3 con. Broo wth i agree with DATonDemand i too hate it lol. Even if i unsee the 0 bases 3 con is like -5 speed when using iron lance and -1 speed when using slim lance the lightest weapon in the game. The Allocate she needs is 5 to con rather than 50%. Imagine being doubled by a armor knight with 4 speed :rofl:

You mentioned in the post we could choose between manually putting base stats or giving them boons and banes. So I hope me choosing just boon and bane is alright.

If you’re are accepting balance changes, maybe you could make it so that when a character is promoted and gains access to new weapons, instead of them gaining an “E” rank, they could gain “D” or “C” ranks in the new weapon.

Edit: I noticed that I forgot to give my units weapon ranks. Rudyard can have A in Anima, B in Light and C in staves.
