Looks to me as if one of the variables is the wrong type. It's as if the game tried to learn tactics at level Zhang Fei when it was expecting a number, and obviously that doesn't work well.
….why yes, as a not-too-good programmer, RMVX gave me a LOT of type mismatches…
Now, I suck at programming and never took a look at NES programming. Still, I know enough about the basics of programming to know you guys can do it.
Then go through the party's characters one at each time and display them as needed. This only goes on when you level up, so why not reward the player by showing lots of awesome "learned new tactic" messages out?
Guan Yu learned Huo Shen!
Guan Yu learned Arrowstorm!
Zhuge Liang learned Jin Xian!
Zhuge Liang learned An Sha!
Liu Bei learned Huo Shen!
Ma Chao learned Arrowstorm!
Zhang Fei learned Lian Huo!
Zhou Yu learned An Sha!
Something like that.
I really don't think we need a sixth stat. You can if you want to (especially since my programming isn't nearly good enough to produce one with only five stats XD), but I disagree. Having five stats is still two more than we used to have!
If you see Vit as the whole army, then why not TRN (Training)?
VIT, CON, and RES just seem too…. one-person-oriented.
Remember, the stats are affecting the entire army, and not whether Xu Chu is secretly The Hulk.
Personally, I think five stats are enough; only one that may be missing is Pol[itics], but that's only useful if we add in a whole strategy sim to doae.
EDIT: As for skills being tied to multiple stats, that should be put off until someone tests this and checks whether any stats seem to be One Stat to Rule Them All or a Dump Stat. Ditto for Healing/Life/Raise, which we can assign to a less-important stat if needed.
It's probably best to sort by stat so we can see if any stats are getting hosed. There's also the question of whether we should *have* vit or not; remember, these stats are for the guy's entire block of 100-40,000 troops, not for just one officer. Anyway, here are my recommendations:
..LDR:
JiMian/CeMian recovery
Extra All-Out damage
Buff tactics (Fu Bing, etc.)
Post-battle capture
An Sha success
..STR:
Attacking damage
Duel results
..INT:
Fire tactics damage
Water tactics damage
..AGI:
Move order
Retreating success
..CHA:
Doubt
Mislead
DoaE version of Drain
Post-battle recruit
..(none):
Healing
Life/Raise
…as for post-battle capture/recruit, my suggestions is that LDR determines the odds of capturing them in the first place and CHA determines whether they join you, demand a bribe, or refuse.
I could've sworn meteorstrike fixed the guo si bug.
Maybe it was unfixed and refixed; in any case, he's noi longer getting struck dead for trivial reasons, which is good.
IIRC Zhao Yun has been recorded as using both sword and spear (even if it';s just in the novel); add in that these guys are presumably gifted at using multiple weapons, and I'll go with #3.
In fact, http://threekingdoms.com/041.htm has Zhao Yun using both spear and sword, and since doae is based (at least somewhat) on the novel…
With the new text, the bars look flat and boring. Therefore, I recommend using the bars I incldued in my mockup. Even if you don't like the layout, the bars look better with more colors.
