The next patch tries to address some of the potential difficulty issues by nerfing some overpowered units. There being too much money isn't one that I've fully explored, but I'll keep an eye out on feedback on this issue. The dragonvein bug is hopefully fixed. If you run into it, please let me know. I'm glad you've enjoyed this hack. It means a lot to me to see the people who have been following it for so long to be enjoying it now that it is released! lol like Evan with his 25 DEF? That always felt so wrong to me lol. Both plays hes maxed his DEF stat without problems. Honestly most heroes only become so overpowered because of the scrolls, the scrolls help us farm stats most heroes wouldn't otherwise obtain. I could imagine what my heroes stats would be had i RNG abused their levels with the scrolls. xD The only hero you couldn't take advantage of was Condor, because you capped her SPD. 🙂 OHH!! and Canto on Snipers is too OP. Especially when using 2 dancers. Edited July 26, 2020 by Thorgrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the units dont get nerfed to the point to where it's no fun anymore. 🙂 I personally thought the balance was actually pretty good myself. I wouldnt say nerf characters, but rather buff some not as good ones, if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when using 2 dancers. Evan isn't a character who will see major nerfs. It's really only some of the flying units. The growth rates are just being lowered to better account for scrolls. That's what the overall nerfing will be. By snipers, you mean Bow Knights or in Nicole's case? I don't think I will change that or the two dancers. 10 hours ago, lightcosmo said: As long as the units dont get nerfed to the point to where it's no fun anymore. 🙂 I personally thought the balance was actually pretty good myself.

There are some characters that were also regarded as having too good of base stats/skill sets, notably Jenna. It shouldn't make anyone that much worse, just help prevent steam rolling through the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully i never cared for flying units xD Eh, Nicole's Canto skill is fine, but yes Lex, even before becoming a Bow Knight, not only has Canto, but Gale Force and Doublelion too. He can walk in, kill off 2 powerful enemies, then retreat safely behind the front-line. I find that too Overpowered. In Official FE games, the player would have to be very smart on how they used their Snipers/Archers, they could be killed off if too close to the front-line. Here there is no danger except long range magic. In my opinion it made some chapters too easy, some bosses didn't even stand a chance, there is no "If he kills a unit" he always makes the kill..... Unless i use mercy to feed his targets to other units. You may not agree, and that's cool too 🙂 just felt i should explain my reasoning. I also feel like Relina could use a buff, though i'm not sure what would make her a bit better, but she gets killed by literally everything with 1 hit, shes level 28 right now on my 3rd play-through and i'm thinking of benching her. >.> lol lances in this Hack are almost useless, only time i really needed a lance, was against Neried's mother, Erika. Swords have a 60+ hit rate against Lances, the triangle should be nerfing that big time, but it seems to only nerf damage, and not by much. Axes truly shine in your Hack, i use 5 Axe wielding units lol. This playthrough was mainly to test the bugs that were fixed, and i am happy to report that they are indeed, fixed. 🙂 Other bugs I found: - In Chapter 10, an enemy Lance Knight has a sword in his inventory, making the unit cannon fodder. Spoiler - Final Chapter: when Leo talks about how the spell Valkyrie works, it was said it would only last a short while. If Mikey survives the final battle, he gets an end game description mentioning he had a second shot at life. But i thought Valkyrie only lasts a short time? I mean technically he is still supposed to be dead, only re-animated for a "short time". Edited July 28, 2020 by Thorgrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augmented Antics Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Am I doing something wrong, or is Chapter 3 really this much of a difficulty spike? For a point this early in the game, I don't think I've ever experienced such a jump in difficulty in any official game or ROM hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to nerf Lex, but removing canto+ from him doesn't sound like it would be too bad. Relina is a very powerful support unit with okay combat. How much HP did she have? Per your story spoiler, only the power up is temporary. 12 hours ago, CultivatedFinch said: Am I doing something wrong, or is Chapter 3 really this much of a difficulty spike?

There's a difficulty spike in chapter 2 when the enemies stop being nerfed, but some people have said chapter 3 is where things start to get much harder as opposed to chapter 2.

Blademaster! Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I have currently released a new updated beta patch on the SGW discord. Because it's not an official release, there is no update to the title/main link of the hack. If you want to play a more current version where the only main thing keeping the hack from a more public release is the issue of unit balancing, you can find this public beta on the discord.

I'm sorry they both took so long to be officially released, but here they are. If you tried out V1.10/V1.11 beta, this V1.10 adds in some unit balance changes to units like Gerome and Mirielle and is compatible with old .savs. V1.04 is for people who were already playing on V1.03 or lower. This is the last update for those versions, so please finish your current runs and then play V1.10 for an future play throughs you may do. I will not be updating V1.04 again. Outside of balance changes and any bugs people find not listed in the readme, this will probably be the final major update. The only planned future releases/updates that will be included in future releases are balance updates, lunatic mode (don't expect this anytime soon), and possibly reverse mode. As always, the current link for public releases can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ck6l6c5ri3fwhon/SGW_Complete.zip?dl=0 Enjoy, and please report any bugs or balance feedback you have!

Sugidack Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 In the final chapter, I only recruit 52 people in my team. It seems like I lost 4 people but I don't know who or how to recruit them (According to support link, are 1 Sage, 1 Dark Filer, 1 Dragon and 1 Knight). Can anyone tell me who are them and how to recruit them? Following is the list of people I recruit: Ch6 Astrea, Ulysses, Relina, Evan, Condor, Dexithea, Bella, Artemis, Nereid, Nicole, Janet, Kirin, Joe, Clint, Katherin, Lex, Charles, Jenna Ch7 Derek, Oreades Ch8 Gerome, Gerald, Ricky, Roa Ch9 Fuuma, Germano Ch10 Chrysler Ch11 Mirielle, Baryl Ch12 Kenton, Sakura Ch13 Daedalus, Joanne Ch14 Iris, Aoifye Ch15 - Ch16 Torrid Ch17 Carter Ch18 Ryan, Hawk Ch19 Lila, Elliot Ch20 Nina Ch21 Iskander, Alice Ch22 Barry, Kat, Dullagan Ch23 Leo, Jeff, Cyrus Ch24 - Ch25 - Ch26 Donovan, Mikey Ch27 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eharper256 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Started playing this today and having a blast. Just a quick query; on Chapter 4 it was barely possible for me to kill Dartanion before he flees; but I couldn't go ahead with it (loaded a much earlier save state) because in so doing I would have had to let at least a couple of units die (due to having to focus fire him and leaving the Cyclops and a Shaman up to slap my low HP units). Are there any plot implications if you do somehow manage that? Morbidly interested because it felt like I was quite close to managing that, and I was actually tempted to see if I could super-optimise it and make it possible. EDIT: Still enjoying this, just got up to Chapter 9, though phew it spikes in difficulty pretty hard. My Relina is OP (she's had 3 perfect level-ups, and never less than 3 stats in a level, and I think she's missed SPD and STR just the once) and is putting everyone else to shame though lol, especially her big sister who is doing Roy growths most of the time. I especially like how Axes and Bows are really relevant now. I can see for sure that we are back to 1RNG for this as well. Lack of cash is a bit rough as I'm clearly not capturing enough even though I'm getting all the quick clear bonuses and thieving about 60% of the Red Gems. My only issue I'd say is that SO MANY PEOPLE ARE betrayers. SO MANY. When its used early on, before one even especially cares for the characters in question, it doesn't really work as a plot driver too well, and when its used in multiple occasions (I've seen 3 or 4 instances now) it loses alot of impact. Its a bit of writers trap, this one, because you can feel attached to your characters but have to realise the audience may not be so. By and the by; is there an easy list of quick clear bonuses and times? I suppose I should get into the practice of writing them down, lol...

Blademaster! Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 The FEE3 video is now here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHhEim9NGLc Pandan is not the only one to find himself humbled by this video. I cannot properly express my gratitude at the kindness and generous words that Pandan offers in this video. I'm at a loss for words and truly thankful for this opportunity, grateful for Pandan's input, for playing this hack again at FEE3, and I just wish I could better describe how happy this video makes me. I'm so happy that people have been able to enjoy SGW and have fun doing so. I'm grateful that my final FEE3 gets to have a video this fantastic and that this hack is finally finished and people can play it. And I'm glad that Arch has done his best to continue to organize and spread awareness about the FE hacking community through this event. He and Mageknight404 were my bridge into the world of hacking, and I couldn't be happier having gone down this 10 year path. I am forever grateful at all the support and love I've gotten from the hacking community over the years, even if I haven't deserved it at times, and I will never forget it. I really do love you all. I hope everyone has enjoyed FEE3 and is looking forward to playing all the projects just as much as I am! Additionally, V1.2 is now live: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ck6l6c5ri3fwhon/SGW_Complete.zip?dl=0 The changes for V1.2 are as follows: - Removed NPC Sniper in chapter 12 - Added in support room by default (contains spoilers, so beware) - Updated the female true blade animation - Updated poison text - Fixed issue with Jormungand description - Fixed issue with NPC sage talking sprite in chapter 6 - Made adjustments to enemies in chapter 10 so certain NPCs don't die as fast - Adjusted timing of Bella/Fuuma support - Hopefully fixed the cavalier weapon issue in chapter 10 - Fixed various typos - Fixed issue with chapter 6 merc not giving the long sword - Fixed move sound for certain enemy only class - Fixed bug where enemies would activate mercy - Fixed issue with Scribe's map sprite in chapter 22 - Fixed female maleduin miss animation - Evil Eye spell was removed and replaced with dark spikes. Dark spikes is effective vs mounted foes but doesn't poison - You can now capture some of the generic enemies in chapter 2 If you want more SGW content, don't forget to checkout Cornchip's LP found here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_treUaRxk0 I'm always happy to plug in any LP's people are doing of SGW!
