This sure is a fun game, marrying a solid space shooter with overhead action segments. The music is incredible too, as if woven from dreams. :ninja: Too bad I only played it for a short time. It needs some slow, tender loving care. Like a fine piece of barbecued meat. Whoa oh no, a female protagonist in a NES-era game. Don't lose your gym shorts there, fellas! LOL :ninja:

Oh man, DOAE2 portraits in DOAE? I am making a DOAE hack that tries to duplicate DOAE2 in officer stats, officer portraits, officer sprites, and in plot to an extent (the second DOAE is my preferred DOAE game, so I HAD to make this :geek:). It wouldn’t be possible for me to work in some of that portrait action, would it? Granted, I would only really stress over having it for Cao Cao. Otherwise I might just use his Guan Xing default portrait. Oh, and Lord, I’m loving your Yuan Shu mod. I think you’ve actually changed a good deal of content from your old release of the mod. I just beat Yuan Shu’s old area, the new Shu, where I chose to let Liu Bei live hehe. I must say, I have faced a nice amount of tough battles. Never too tough, though. But certainly a nice challenge. The only thing I had to be careful for was facing these tougher enemies in random battles! Hopefully I will be able to see whatever changes you end up making from hereon without having to start a new file. Keep up the good work, fella.

Zhuge Liang kind of looks like Jet Li but with a heart of gold. Therefore, I propose he ride DragonAtma (in the nonsexual way, of course), riding with Longinus (Holy Lance) in hand. BAD ASS. Hey, I would do it if I thought I could pull off the Dragoon look.

I meant that the issue was a contemporary of the game. This as opposed to a retrospective covering of the game. After all, issues ranging from a few months after a game is released to a few years afterward may cover something about it. Also, it was to highlight that I grew up reading the very first Nintendo Powers (pre-dating even SNES and Game Boy), not just "old" ones. I made a point of distinguishing the "NES glory days" issues from the rest because they are my favorite of any era in the magazine (although I still loved the SNES and N64 era issues). But back to the real matter: way to nitpick, antlan!

I remember reading in an old issue of Nintendo Power (like, the NES glory days!) that once you beat the game, you could start the game as other characters in the game, such as the Bridge guard. I was all excited, but then years later on read that this was some kind of April Fool’s joke if I recall right. I actually just beat the game for the first time a few summers ago, and although I couldn’t play as anyone else, it was awesome to be able to replay the game with maxed out stats (kind of like a game+ mode). Curious as to see if anything changed when beating the game for a second time, I beat through Zelda II again only to find out that absolutely nothing storywise had changed. Scoundrels!

In a word: yes. I actually had a much more difficult time with the DOAE2 challenge than the DOAE1 challenge. Bare in mind that even with normal play, the enemy soldier counts in DOAE2 will greatly outnumber that of your heroes at any given time. This plays a huge role even fiarly early on. Also, I find that enemies have greater defensive capabilities in 2 than in 1. Factor in how in 2 the decrease in troops far more greatly influences loss in attack power, and you will find that tactics and experimenting with the different formations is absolutely essential to pulling off the challenge.
Judging from how awesomely tough a time I had with that lowest level run for 2 in certain parts, I would actually be willing to bet that completing 1 on the highest challenge level is still a little easier, albeit more annoying (so much for heal potions, reviving dead troops until way later in the game, and gullwings).

Well, XZX, I sent you the stuff. From hereon out, it’s gonna be raining men! Um, bad example. I sure am stoked about this. I plan to attempt the "no-items" run in the future, as well as the Lord’s Alternative Officer Challenge (it looks so fun, someone should try it!). I’m also still pushing to get credit for my DOAE 2 lowest-level run. One day, I can take my wife and 2.5 kids to KMA to show them Daddy’s accomplishments. We all know that’s what commands respect in a household. :lol:

I’m still in school which is not too gnarly, but I do tutor on the side now, charging 30 bones an hour. It allows me to be lazy and only work a few hours a week, yet still turn a decent profit to scrounge around. I’ve recently felt a yearning to keep going with my DOAE "Are you sure this isn’t DOAE2 I’m playing?" mod, so hopefully that materializes into something. No promises!
What!? Zhuge Liang controls even the heavens?
Wow,that was a fast response. Yeah, not a problem. I’ll be sure to send the details tomorrow. My run was actually in the same category as the Lord’s, yet I even managed to avoid the fight with Lu Bu in ALL OF SHU (smoke pots, smoke pots, smoke pots). I was happy to see I had the lowest exp count yet, only fighting the one random battle to get Han Zhong on my side (4 exp I think). I don’t even know if that "no shops, EVER rule is possible…" Maybe one day.
I did also complete a lowest level run of DOAE2, ya know! (level 41 I think) Can we devote a new section to that? HAHAHAHA
Talk to you later.

I still need to get myself credited on Kongming.net for for my DOAE 1 and 2 lowest level finishes. What would it take to get this going? Xian Zhu Xuande, care to help a brotha out?
What!? Zhuge Liang controls even the heavens?
That brings joy to my soul. That newfangled sandelweaver! Lord Yuan Shu needs to use his plethora of facial hair to bring this scullywag to justice!

Does this mean I can access portrait images without having to copy the codes from the game as I access character data? I can’t even begin to say how awesome such a thing would be, but I fear I read you wrong, Niahak.

And I’m from NY, which qualifies me as almost Canadian >_>
People from New York and New Jersey are from New York and New Jersey.
They can be American too, but first and foremost, they are New Yorkers and… New Jersyites?
I, being from a typical area of New Jersey, largely buy into this. New Yorkers and New Jerseyites are largely unAmerican and tend to think their states are better than all the rest (well, probably considerably less so for South Jersey and Upstate New York). I call it "undeserved pride" and "hubris." As for the Dubya comment, I would argue the inverse to be true- I’m pretty conservative despite the viper’s nest I live in, and I find my support of the man to be pretty pro-America. Oh no, I hope I didn’t start a political debate on LYS LOLOLOLOL. Anyway, I should probably get back to working on this mod, especially if I’m now able to edit text! That’s erotic! Oh, and maybe I should post a little more. Yeah, I’ll work on that one. :roll:

Hey, guys. Hope I didn’t get you all too worked up there. Zhang Lu was telling me all these awesome ideas one night, then afterwards said they were merely ideas. As if! I told him I’ll work on it too if it means getting it done. I’m sorry to let everyone know, but we can’t all be tigers :???:. In fact, I’m not even a tiger, though I’m pretty okay with that as a newer (but still sexy) member. Basically it would be faithful to Zhang Lu’s vision, and some of the more "old vets" of the site get to be tigers, while some get positions based on personality. Keep in mind that I consider this Zhang Lu’s mod mostly; I’m just here to help. These are just ideas, and I’m pretty sure Zhang Lu has the final say on stats.
Tigers (don’t know exact order):
Lord Yuan Shu – 255/255
Zhang Lu – (yeah he gave himself props) over 200 for both like 235/220?
Niahak – 225/250?
James – um, almost perfect stats since he runs KMA? I think he’s tactician.
Fallout perhaps? he’s a real vet
Maybe Perhong too?
Other heroes:
I, CraigLovesNintendo – about 200 for both, maybe 205/200 (is that too high)? According to Zhang Lu, I get to be Song Ren, only I get solid balanced stats and am a strong warrior throughout the game (but not tiger material, though the fact that I get to help and be reliable for the whole game is a nice honor since I am quite new to LYS still).
CCG – 1/1 or something lame like that? Song Yong, made to be useless and lame in stark contrast to me the helper (might seem mean but IDK it did make me laugh at the idea, and again, it’s Zhang Lu’s creative mind). He has a Himiko sprite (Zhang Lu’s idea) and Xu Zhu’s portrait (I came up with that part haha) if you get the idea…
Wei Yan – 250/90 I guess? Well, he’s Wei Yan and in Wei Yan’s spot with Wei Yan-like stats. W00t! Can you feel the love?
Antlan87 – A spirited rocking newcomer, he gets Pang Tong’s spot with static hp but a lot of it and solid stats I was told. I guess he’s more on the intelligent side like Pang Tong? Not sure though.
Random:
Samuel and that other legend guy who did the DOAE2 tricks but have been long gone can maybe get mention somewhere, like perhaps one of them can take Xu Zhe’s spot (temporary nice strategist).
Main guys on the other side:
Ricky – Si Ma Yi, rofl he’s the dastardly spammer I guess (I hppe he finds this funny too)
Hua Xiong – Cao Pi, since he and Ricky have a funny dynamic on the site, plus how he teases Ricky (playfully, of course), Ricky betrays and kills him
Atlus – Sun Quan, but according to Zhang Lu, he has some shitty stats but a lot of hp and good defense so he’s annoying and tough to whittle down
Thechieftain – Sun Ce, since supposedly Atlus and him had issues in the past (that was all Zhang Lu hahahahaha). Maybe he can still have a boss fight somewhere, unlike Sun Ce.
Taishi Ci – Lu Bu, I figured it was a cute inside joke and this one was my idea, I wonder what he will think of this (his stats WILL be awesome though and he will be a mother to take down according to Zhang Lu)
Once again, Zhang Lu devised most of this, and hopefully I can hound him enough to at least give me more ideas so maybe I can work on it here and there. Surely there will be more people, so feel free to give ideas (I have no idea how we will fill up other spots and do the minor boss battles). I hope Zhang Lu is the one to make some of these tougher final decisions.
P.S. Maybe Sarsamis can go somewhere too?

Getting the Huo Hu tweaks is a vital part for ensuring your DoaE mod will be successful
Yesssssssssssss. So, do we want that random battle with Evil Huo Hu in the Wu or Wei regions? Also, would you guys prefer Evil Huo Hu or Shin Huo Hu (shin = holy I think, like Shinryu from ff5 meaning Holy Dragon?). Don’t hesitate to suggest other names going with these themes either. Either way, he is a supernatural force of power and pure sex. Also, please give me some suggestions for stats, guys. Yeah, I know I ask a lot of questions and ponder lots of small stuff, but this WILL be a mod of epic proportions outside of the crazy haxxor stuff James does to his. Back to the random encounter Huo Hu’s stats, I was thinking of possibly giving him a perfect 255/255 while Zhang Lu gave me something more modestly rad like 220/235 (maybe a little too modest, no? He IS a supreme entity). Regardless, he WILL get a bitchin’ 255 perfect agility (don’t even think about trying to pacify his attacks MWAHAHA).
