This looks really cool!
Incidentally, are you aware of Armies of Gielinor? It’s like Advance Wars, but set in Gielinor. If you like RuneScape & Fire Emblem it might interest you. It’s been abandoned by JaGeX, but you can still find an offline download, and there’re even people who’ve rebuilt the game and added new factions.
Thanks, @Armory! Fun fact - I actually haven’t played since I was a kid, save for a brief month when OSRS mobile came out 
. Even though I could never get back into it, Runescape during that magical '05-'07 era will always remain my favorite video game of all time! This project comes from those memories (and an absolute boatload of research). When [Complete] finally comes, I’m hoping peeps like you and I, who have those memories from way back when, go VinceMcmahon.gif IRL as it all comes back to you playing this!
hey @Huichelaar! What’s funny is I have heard of it - but that’s all. I never actually knew what type of game it was 
. Looking up gameplay of it, it certainly invokes that Fire Emblem feel! The maps before the battle starts, when it still shows it in 2D, is straight up Fire Emblem!
Still tinkering with it, but I’ve started color palette matching the maps to their RuneScape counterparts! Here’s a look at Lumbridge before and after. (s̶c̶r̶e̶e̶n̶s̶h̶o̶t̶ p̶i̶x̶e̶l̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ f̶o̶r̶ a̶c̶c̶u̶r̶a̶c̶y̶ t̶o̶ t̶h̶e̶ s̶o̶u̶r̶c̶e̶ m̶a̶t̶e̶r̶i̶a̶l̶. j̶k̶ I̶ d̶o̶n̶’t̶ k̶n̶o̶w̶ w̶h̶y̶ i̶t̶ c̶a̶m̶e̶ o̶u̶t̶ l̶i̶k̶e̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶)
Also, Nieve:
I had the really good (see: bad) idea of blacking out the sky in my Battle Backgrounds to mimic the distinctive black void of a sky known as RuneScape render distance. I was just messing around at first… but not gonna lie; it’s growing on me
…
Map palette matching is coming along nicely! Why didn’t I do this sooner? 
This was left on the cutting room floor, but now it’s a favorite:
Lumbridge Swamp
Is it odd that I’m interested in this hack despite not caring about RuneScape?
@ShirleyVaga I’m glad to hear that! What I love about RuneScape here is how seamlessly it meshes with Fire Emblem. My goal is that if you’re a fan of one, or both, of these great franchises, that you have a amazing time playing it! I’m chipping away more and more every day and will look to get a Discord going soon👍
I felt inspired and went absolutely ape atoll with some UI changes:
Blue asterisk… since they’re talking 
Mouse icon, 'cause how TF could I not?
RuneScape-colored HP bars. LFG
Yellow cursor for passive “clicks” or movement, and Red for actions such as attacking. Also recolored the grid palette to fall in line with the hitsplat color scheme
channeling these bad boys here:
on that note, Red and Green weapon advantage arrows, referencing the Red and Green when you right-click someone
lastly, updated the minimug palette as an allusion to the chathead interface!
I desperately need to update the OP, but in the meantime, another map palette edit!
When the Wilderness gets added:
I never played Runescape (but I have watched someone stream it a few times) and man the amount of love and attention to detail put into this is amazing! keep up the good work!
You’re carrying the niche intersection of Fire Emblem and Runescape on your back like Atlas right now
@Huichelaar you already know
Thank you Lily, thank you @PKLucky !! You guys motivate me to keep plugging away. FEU | RuneScape private server when??
damn that new post of yours makes me even more interested .
the different looking ui and palettes and everything give this hack an unique touch that makes it stand out in a good way.
Hello! Totodile, thank you so much for the opportunity to create an animation for you. Now the city of Lumbridge will have to deal with these pesky goblins. I hope to work with you in the future and can’t wait to see this project come to fruition.
Thanks again, Stephano! It just wouldn’t be RuneScape without our little green friends. Amazing work, as always. Looking forward to sharing more, and yes, we’ll definitely have to collab again soon 
im honestly surprised there havent been goblins in fe yet.
is the portrait based on riev? cause if yes thats funny pfff
Good eye . He just had that look, you know?
