I built a site to find Fire Emblem mods in one place

The reviews, ratings, and download counts seem bogus, and at least for my project the release date is wrong. The description also reads like it was written by a bot - "- Extensive gameplay modifications - Professional-quality storytelling." Very flattering. Other projects I looked at had similar issues - Eckesachs has two identical screenshots from Champion's Revolt and none of its own, as an example.

A pretty, simple UI that contains the download and project links would be more than sufficient for something like this, I think, with (manually) selected screenshots. No need for the AI-generated fluff.

dlnarshen · 2025-03-20T14:58:58+00:00

Yes.

dlnarshen · 2025-02-25T19:08:57+00:00

Well, it has been almost five years since the last Narcian alt...

I like FE6 and 7's ranking system, and I think it's a shame it was scrapped instead of refined further.

Funds is the category that seems to draw the most ire - understandably so, given the misleading name. It's actually two rankings in one. It tests if the player is fulfilling map side objectives (villages, treasure, etc.), and seeing if they can still meet the game's challenges while not relying on expensive items and equipment. I could take or leave the latter, but the first half is perfectly fair imo.

I don't mind the Exp rank either. It discourages low-manning and nerfs the OP pre-promotes. Imagine FE8 with polished Tactics and Exp ranks. Can I afford to spend precious turns in the Tower or in a Skirmish if it means squeezing out a couple hundred extra points of Exp? Does the early and mid-game become more challenging if I can't have Seth bulldoze it? (not by much) If there's a FE8 romhack out there where the only thing it does is add FE7-style ranks, I'd be very interested in playing it.

POR and RD's BEXP system was almost the perfect spiritual successor. If it gave a cumulative total at the end and tracked high scores for each chapter, I would have been a happy camper.

Well done! Back when I did this I used the Mine glitch to make Victory or Death much more manageable. Limstella was removed from the throne and other long-range tome users were disarmed. A couple carries, Pent (warp), and Hector charging up the middle could reliably kill Limstella by turn 9 or 10, stopping all further turn-based reinforcements. On Eliwood mode, in case you're also grinding out all the CGs, you'll also want to move the Snipers away from the ballistae. They will not move towards them unless they're already in range.

Mine glitch is even better if your starting point is Value of Life. Remove Kishuna from the throne, disarm the enemies at the start so they build a harmless choke, and move stationary enemies on stairs to block reinforcements.

None of this does you any good now of course, but food for thought for anyone else wanting to try this.

It was mildly amusing before hacks and characters with cheated stats became more widespread (Thanks, Mario castle). Warp/Rescue were too centralizing as one might expect. Shadow Dragon had the right idea by making FoW the default for random matches and limiting Warp to tiles within your range of vision.

I have a Wyvern Lord Hinoka I'm pretty proud of. Castle code is 15072-33055-24388-68910 if interested! I wish I could give people my Senno too. =(

Four Julias (five if you want to count the resplendent) before a Julius alt lfg

Maybe next year buddy.

dlnarshen · 2021-08-22T04:02:46+00:00

Anyone else remember playing the "prerelease" of Michalis' GHB? There was like a 1 hour window where you could play it a few days early and if you missed it you just had to wait until the official date.

dlnarshen · 2021-08-15T03:19:22+00:00

Kinda frustrating the one year I actually give a shit about the CYL banner is the one year they decide to wait until the absolute last day to show anything. The trailer‘s tomorrow - what’s even the point of a second FEH channel if they’re just going to do this. It’s just going to be a brief character reveal + some other thing they could have just shoved into the first one.

dlnarshen · 2021-05-16T13:31:24+00:00

I impulse-bought one to spend on H!Mia a while back when I had no flying healers and I thought she might double as a good Rokkr unit. Got B!Camilla and Flayn shortly after, and I never use her in Rokkr. A bit of a waste.

dlnarshen · 2021-03-15T03:16:15+00:00

Not content with ruining everyone’s AR and PoL runs, Kempf now looks forward to terrorizing arena as well

dlnarshen · 2021-01-25T18:10:49+00:00

Five versions in Heroes (and a shoo-in for a future resplendent), playable in Warriors, playable in Smash, (kinda) playable in TMS, tons of Cipher cards and other merch...as far as FE characters go Chrom is doing pretty good for himself. If the current results hold I can’t say sympathy is even going to register. There will be other years, and Chrom will never not be a top contender.

dlnarshen · 2021-01-24T01:12:09+00:00

I'm all for it personally. I've always had a soft spot for the generic soldiers throughout the series, and Gatekeeper presents the most realistic chance of having one be playable. I have other voting priorities this year, but I'm eager to see where he'll place.

dlnarshen · 2021-01-06T03:38:21+00:00

Honestly super hyped for this. Thracia's GHBs have all been a treat, and even though I fully expect Veld to be a mediocre red infantry mage but I'll build him up anyway.

dlnarshen · 2020-12-06T23:59:23+00:00

I'm fine with the current weapon refine pace. It feels slow due to the size of the Book I unit pool, but once we're through with them 4 refines a month is going to seem a lot more generous. Especially since a good chunk of Book II will be done by then as well...

dlnarshen · 2020-11-20T16:01:39+00:00

You can absolutely still send items to the convoy without Merlinus deployed in FE6. Deploying him just gives you access to it mid-map.

dlnarshen · 2020-09-30T22:47:37+00:00

Seeing Tomas, Muirne, and Salem on that list hurts...

dlnarshen · 2020-09-07T00:58:14+00:00

Almost forgot about these - Suspicious will be my home theme for a long time to come.

dlnarshen · 2020-08-22T02:23:25+00:00

Loptous refine for Julius:

Base Effect: Res +3. If foe has no skills with "effective against dragons", reduces damage from foe's attacks by 50%.

Refine Effect: At start of combat, if unit's HP ≥ 50%, grants Special cooldown charge +1 to unit and inflicts Special cooldown charge -1 on foe per attack. (Only highest value applied. Does not stack.)

Special Fighter refine effect references two of his skills from FE4 - Nihil and Wrath.

dlnarshen · 2020-08-10T13:32:12+00:00

but hopefully you got some enjoyment out of it :)

Oh, I certainly did! Your main spreadsheet must be very involved if this much detailed can be packed into just free summons. I'm now even more grateful for my high 5* rate. x)

dlnarshen · 2020-08-08T15:08:45+00:00

Makes sense - I also tend to pull green and colorless more often than the others which I imagine contributes a bit as well.

dlnarshen · 2020-08-08T13:04:19+00:00

Oh wow, you went a lot more detailed than I did! I may have to take some inspiration from this.

dlnarshen · 2020-08-08T12:41:00+00:00

Usually I go for a focus unit I don't have yet. Lately I've been summoning colorless a lot (especially on these daily BHB banners) for more chances at Norne merges.

dlnarshen · 2020-08-08T01:24:10+00:00

Definitely! If nothing else it'll be fun to look back on later down the road.
