That is all. *puts down paper and takes off bifocals*

Here's about what you should know:

  • Explorer mode the player characters get a stat boost.
  • Classic mode is the standard difficulty.
  • Tactician mode
    • Rhe enemies get a +50% boost to health, armor, damage.
    • Enemies now regularly start out with 6 or more AP.
    • Turns are no longer are affected by Initiative scores, but are now hard-coded in a ally-enemy-ally-enemy... fashion.
    • You are not able to change the difficulty lower on this mode.
    • Some enemies are supposed to get skill changes and such, but you'll mostly notice that they hit for a lot of damage and are much harder to kill.
    • It's got some pretty controversial balancing decisions.
  • Honor mode is Tactician with one save file which gets deleted if your party gets wiped. (Never play this first.)




Where is this? I couldn't find it in the online manual.

Also, I was going through the files in the editor and couldn't find where tactical was adding AP to enemies when fights starts, or that initiative is really different. I only found the bonuses to damage/health/armor/accuracy

I wonder does anyone know what files modify this?
