Fire Emblem: Eckesachs - FE6, but you play as the bad guys! [Complete story rewrite]

I’m currently translating the chapter 16.

I also add battle conversations for the lore and the continuity with FE7 (curse of Armads, Lord Erik is still a traitor 20 years later etc.).


I also add “Canas” instead of the ton of “father” when Hugh is speaking about him during his support conversations with Niime because it’s official that Canas from FE7 is his father.

It’s a huge work and it’s not always easy because of the limitations of the FE6 rom but I’m doing my best. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m so happy you sympathized so much with my uglies. If I may ask, who were your favorites?

I have finally beaten the hack. Overall gets a 9/10 from me and i found it all enjoyable. Robarts was also fun to use and i assumed he was supposed to never have dailog but he can actually say something which is funny-

The biggest issue i had was sacea mode is made very painful with the brave effect being put on short bows. I recommend just giving the nomads iron bows since i really like brave short bows. Since it gives your bow units a lot of power actually.

Will probably eventually do a ironman now i have beaten the hack and livestream it

The short bow brave effect was a very last-minute addition and I didn’t stop to consider the ramifications. I’d say it’s high time I did something about it.

Glad you enjoyed the hack (and Roberts) otherwise!

v1.7 released!

  • Nerfed short bow might by 1 and hit by 5.
  • Significantly lowered the amount of short bows in Sacae.
  • Nerfed Jahn and Ein’s defense growths slightly.

Probably took to long to get the fix out, if anything. I really didn’t think that change through lol. Better late than never, as they say.

I finally finished the hack I had a lot of fun playing and enjoyed the major story changes and the little things like changing dialogue in houses

Here’s the endgame team

Units

Zephiel kinda underwhelming at the start but really kicked ass at the mid and late game especially after Eckesachs

Idunn she’s ok kinda didn’t promote her til chapter 23 but she saw use Probably should have promoted her earlier

Mieu really fun I enjoyed her story and here interactions with Jahn as a unit she kinda killed everything til Sacae Short bows and her low def don’t really mix well

Tanky priest very useful during the entire game

Kel dodge tank and crit machine Specially during Sacae with the als sword he was very crucial during that part

Eh staff bot got his light rank up so he could use the Areyolo

Lim tried to train someone to use Forblaze in the final map kinda failed but She’s a good staff bot

Special Mentions that I could not bring to the Shrine

Pheros Mounted heal really good she used Hammerne alot to fix the warp staff

Galle kinda sucked for me he was just underwhelming

Monke really came into himself when he promoted Kels support partner and a decent unit

Now time for the main stars of the run Starting with
Raith The last Paladin since I kinda got all the others killed mainly cause it was the end of the map and I didn’t want to reset
But onto Raith If I Didn’t want a unit killed I could turn to Raith his damage output was so low with regular weapons so Raith was useful for that he used the maltet and killed dragons with it I only used him since I thought he had a support with Tick but he did not but I did not regret using Raith he did things
If I could describe him he’s a sword master on a horse with lances that can’t crit

Mitan pretty useful had speed to double thing and her damage output was good
though she was a staple on the time with I found out she had a support with my last unit.

The main star of the team the god himself the one THE ONLY
HENNING
now our boy Henning joined at the right time when your about to go to the axe bro isles perfect place to level him up and when he promotes and gets 1-2 range he’s a beast he’ll dodge tank alot got him to S rank swords and axes
Feats with Henning
1 murdered the chapter 13 reinforcements, I had him and Mitan handle the waves reinforcements by that corner by the water and lets just say that leveled him up

2 killed Sophia turn 1, warped him in and he crited Sophia before the cutscene could play

3 Sieged Bulgar warped him in the city with a rune sword and 2 handaxes and he stood his ground wiped out the main force in there

4 killed a lot of bosses- Its Henning time

5 Killed a lot of dragons he had Armands and murdered them

Though when he capped his level he by a little bit fell off a good comparison is radiant Dawn haar kicks ass but falls off in the end by a little bit

Overall I had a ton of fun with this hack

The hack is really good so far, I’ve made it to Ch 8 with no major issues on the gameplay department, however for some reason this happens:
Eckesachs 1.7 vanilla map colors40

This is the stat screen, frozen, the game still runs with music and all but no commands can be input. I was swapping up and down on my characters and this happened, but I reseted and everything went back to normal.

Could this be an issue with the water affinity glitching and breaking the stat screen?

Edit: Apparently it is; after testing more in-depth, the water affinity glitches the stat screen.
I set my stat screen on other characters and it froze when Raigh’s info (who has water affinity) showed up.

I was a bit worried about this, but neither I nor anybody else playing on the common emulators seems to have had such an issue, so I ran with it.

One of my testers who was using a phone emulator did see some issues. They didn’t keep him from finishing the game, but he experienced them. May I ask what emulator you’re using?

An even more in-depth research it only happens on the status screen, switching to weapons and support data, then up or down with characters who have the water affinity does not glitch the game.

It’s a bothering but no major glitch in my opinion, just beware of it. If it happens, reset and resume.

Is it a vanilla FE6 ROM? It mustn’t be patched with the translation either, it has to be a completely clean ROM.

It is not allowed to share ROMs. I can’t help you there, sorry.

Arcardo, Mieu, Reuben, Jahn, and Dory
Jahn, Mieu, and Dory for their plot parts and frankly i loved all 3 of them
Reuben for being the funmy fe12 gaiden boss who calls minerva a buffoon to her face
And Arcardo for both being my undisputed mvp with capped def but also cuz i just feel bad for him. He finally realized he was a fool for doing what he did and now hes just trying to survive, just wish he had a bit more development cuz man I love his design so much
