That'd be fun, a rider getting a cavalry bonus for his horse, or a thief dissappearing into the shadows, accompanied with the message "X cannot find his opponent!" I'm sure that'd be a nightmare to code, though. _________________

It would be nice though I bet the game would be quite a lot like my RTS Fire Emblem.
Fire Emblem is a perfect example of a good strategy game. |

Good, I hated being "protected by earth magic" I'd rather take the hits like a man with no knowledge of any kind of magic whatsoever. _________________ DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! |

Well, it was nice to get mopeful about these things. But i'll leave Vextor to it. Besides, he needs rest for now, since he still has to take care of his health. So take your time, Vex. I'll just keep imagining what it'll be like as always. :D _________________

Basically, now that there are "paths," there's no point why a "Warrior" would be blasting people with magic just because he has higher MAG... etc...
And player input should also affect the outcome of duels to give it an extra dose of unpredictability. |
I always wonderd about that. _________________ few runes short of a set of 27

Yay perhaps 'DEF' will actually mean something in duels now, I can put some armor back on instead of this silly mage robe... _________________

Well, the recode is nearing its end, and unless other stuff take time away from me and cause delays, things should be finished within a few days and phase 15 can begin shortly. Currently, the duel engine looks beautiful as is... just need to add a few more things to make it even more beautiful. |

Yes. basically, your choices on what duel mode you choose will have an impact on the results--although not to the point that really strong people can be defeated by weak people. Depending on the match, duels can last for a very long time, too... Generally the number of damage that can be done has been lessened.
I also discovered that defense was not being factored at all in the old script. The wrong variable was used to describe physical defense (oops). This has been fixed, so having high defense would definitely have an impact.
Obviously, your path would determine how you will perform during battle. A person with 300 MAG who is of the cleric path will have better magic protection than a warrior, for example.
The end result is that duels will now be far less predictable--which may make people less inclined to have duels at all. I don't know--maybe it'll warrant some sort of rule change when it comes to duels but I'll worry about that later. |

Sweet. I can't wait to see the new duel system in action. I'm anticipating a lot of losses for me, what with me having not bothered to choose a path yet. ;) _________________
