And Leap Anywhere kind of obsoletes that, anyway.

They're missable if you never encountered their respective formations, yes.

Blame @Emmy it was her idea.

Possibry. That sounds like a bug we may have addressed in recent memory.

There's not sufficient screen real-estate to make the last two happen; the first is something Synchysi has explained int he past and could probably do so better than I. I think it's a compression thing.

The multiple-party setup has nothing that affects warping, and while you cannot warp out of the Phoenix Cave in vanilla, we enabled it in Brave New World. And you can warp put of Kefka's Tower in either case.

When 1.9.1 comes around, I'll probably add to it. I just haven't really fucked around much with alternate sprites since I was never really interested in the ones that put more clothes on Celes >.>

It's because the dogs counter magic. I'd consider it a bug, but I'm too amused at the idea of an abused animal turning on its handler to fix it.

The only dungeon I can think of where warping is disabled is Cyan's nightmare, and you can't leave it anyway...

You don't have any Warp Whistles or the spell?

Removing the ability to avoid random encounters altogether was a deliberate design decision because otherwise the game is just boss battles. The encounter rate itself is something that is currently being addressed:

Yeah, this place is pretty much ID 2.0

Not really a bug more than it's a typo that existed in the original script. Dialogue #535 in FF3usME if you're still using it. "musn't" should be "mustn't"

@Bishop need your input here.

Just to clarify for anyone confused by the title, this was a hack that was intended to go into 1.9.0, but was removed because it wasn't working properly.

Any familiarity with how Civilization games work at all is half the battle; beyond that it's just the subtleties of how 3 is different. I'd suggest giving the tutorial in vanilla Civ3 a quick whirl and you'll probably pick things up pretty quick.

I also rewrote the Civilopedia from scratch to function as a help file, so there's also that.

These will be great for any future testing. If you can grab some WoR saves, as well, that'd be super.

                Counter to the above, which sells stamina as an alternative attack stat
                with some defensive capabilities, we wanted a way of meshing it with the
                other stats in a meaningful way. It was thus decided that it should be
                tied to two equipment-enabled abilities: cover (synergizes with HP) and
                counter-attacks (synergizes with vigor).

                As was the case in vanilla, characters with "true knight" equipment will
                always take hits for allies who are at "near fatal" status, even if they
                themselves are also at critical HP. Now, in addition to that, guardians
                who are not in critical status may also take hits for *healthy* allies.

                        Cover% (healthy allies) = Stam / 192

                To balance this, characters can no longer cover AT ALL while in the back
                row, evasion is halved for any attack that he or she jumps in front of,
                and covering an ally will break a character out of the "defend" status.
                Interceptor will also not protect Shadow if he's covering someone else.

                  (See "Smart Cover" below for further changes to the cover mechanic.)

                For the "spank" half of things, the game's original counter-attack rate
                was 75%. We found this to be excessive once we got other things sorted
                out (see "Parry & Counter" below), so we opted for a new formula that
                bases the counter-attack rate on stamina (starting at a floor of ~50%).

                        Counter-Attack% = (Stam + 32) / 128

If I can free up two bytes somewhere to slip a FB 02 into his script, that'll fix it.

It's that time again, my friends! After a beta cycle that went on much longer than we were expecting, Brave New World 1.9.0 is officially released today. The major features of this update include tying the game's cover and counter-attack mehcanics to stamina (the 'ol tank & spank) courtesy of Seibaby and one of the holy grails of FF6 modding in the form of GrayShadow's in-battle spell patch. There's also a lot more goodies in the Unlockme, including boxart courtesy of Shane at RetroGameCases and a little something special to snap into from our good friend Bauglir.

As always, many of the changes in this update are largely inspired by the feedback I get from players who stream on Twitch or post videos on Youtube. I take something away from every playthrough I watch, and more and more with each passing update, Brave New World truly is the work of the amazing community that surrounds it. I can honestly say that the humble project Synchysi and I began work on over six years ago would never be what it is today without all of you, and for that and much else I am eternally grateful. I don't know what the future holds for this mod, but I am certain that you all will be a huge part of it.

What's new in 1.9.0:

Ok, apparently the link has been broken for awhile because I keep moving shit around on my site. It's good now.

That's enough to convince me to re-institute stripping weapon effects from jump attacks. If BTB is fine with that, I should be able to put out 1.9 proper tomorrow.

Yeah, just toss it back on and let's ship it out.

Hmm... I didn't think disabling throw procs on jump was part of that hack. The blind jump hack was pretty recent, but we disabled throw on jumping AGES ago... unless I guess that wasn't the actual problem.

Did you just remove D's hack or did you end up modifying it?

I simply don't have any interest in further delaying 1.9 over something so trivial. If removing D's hack will result in the desired behavior, I say let's test it real quick and be done with it. If not, I really have no qualms putting it on hold and dealing with it whenever someone figured out how to make the Atma/Omega Weapon respect Jump.
