Quote:new cao cao looks awesome sonic!! :crown:
Cool, glad you like it. Any progress yourself?
Quote:With reactions are like this, aren't you glad I insisted on an epic Cao Cao? ;)Well, it is kind of hard to make every portrait exceptional, especially when they are all hand drawn pixel by pixel >_>
Don't worry; you don't have to do this for everyone. Just for epic officers!
The likely list:
Liu Bei
Cao Cao
Sun Ce (maybe)
Sun Quan
Zhuge Liang
Zhou Yu
Lu Xun
Currently, these are who I have for each of those… Im just reusing one for Sun Ce atm from my Rise of Ieyasu Mod. Haven't made a new one yet.
lol
Finally got this mod back up to par with a few days/weeks ago after that game-breaking hex issue which nerfed up quite a bit.
So far things are leaning towards:
Chapter 6= Wei
Chapter 7= Shu
Chapter 8= ???
Ironically I think that I found that the [EVENT-152F] allows for you to get Liu Bei in Cheng Du, BUT, it doesn't trigger the blacksmith event to change to where he gets robbed. I believe that is only triggered once the battle of Cheng Du is beaten, IE: vs. Liu Zhang
This is looking wonderful! Those new sprites and portraits look like something off of an XBox Arcade Game rather than NES graphics, but that its done with NES limitations is something absolutely amazing! I've never seen an approach like this to an NES game.
I see quite a few unfamiliar tactics there. Did you add more tactics or change their effects?
Also any chance of Sun Shang Xiang making it in? These mods are lacking women all around it seems, one or two to differentiate the cast a bit would be nice. That is unless you were going for a purely historical route.
There were a couple of women just in the first few hours of the Ieyasu mod and I think maybe two in the Lu Bu mod? (Zhu Rong and Diao Chan), I dont see why it wouldnt be possible, unless of course as you pointed out if he was going historical.
Chapter 8 would be JIN XUAN, CONQUEROR OF WORLDS!
Seriously, though, if the game continues as long as I expect, I imagine that chapter 8 would be Jin (and epic portrait for Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and/or Sima Yan).
The time period would fit for Jin, if I remember correctly those characters dont actually exist in DOAE either right?
Though (Unless I'm mistaken) it was Sima Yan that started the campaign against Wu, and by then Sun Quan was long gone, so that would take some definite creative license to pull off, since I'm not sure who Sonic had in mind to lead through the entire campaign…it was Quan right?
So it would be an opportunity for new portraits and unique generals, and a few of Wei's leftovers.
Shame the ROM doesnt allow much room, theres alot of Wu generals you could fill a chapter with toward Wu's later years.
Is it possible for characters to die as the game goes on? That Zhou Yu and Huang Gai may be among the most exceptional talents but shortly after Chi Bi both men die? This seems like a way to balance some of the more famous generals, that eventually as Wu begins to flounder after Lu Xun's death the quality of officers begin to thoroughly sink.
Quote:Is it possible for characters to die as the game goes on?The easiest way is to use one of the pre-defined events. Like Xu Shu leaving, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei leaving, Lu Bu leaving, etc… Other than that it would take some assembly coding to do it and you'd probably want to tie it to an existing event.
