Very awesome Kokojo! Excellent use of evtchr animations, it certainly isn't easy to do haha. The squires shocked reaction was especially well done. Though I wouldn't have had the knight point his finger for quite so long, maybe have him raise his hand down when the reinforcements come. The reinforcements coming could use some work, but it works fine as is. Keep up the good work and figure out how to record sound haha.

When this patch comes out, I am sooo all over it. The realism in a non-realist world is really... actually awesome!

IMO some better art choice for the effects will make this alot better

and!

I'm not sure what formula 42 is right off the bad, but why would you use Soul Crush when Soul Wave is there?

Sounds good.

1. I don't know what you're planning to do with the civilians in battle, but I remember a while back we tested Squire as a class that could equip all weapons and it was a monumental failure because AI Squires were able to (and did) equip weapons that did not complement it's primary stat. But as I say, this may not matter in your patch

2. Can I suggest a couple of new names?
-Lawbringer -> Marshal?
-Destroyer sounds really generic. From your description, an interesting choice might be "Vandal".
-Incarnate on its own is more like a verb than a noun. You want "something"-incarnate. But really you should probably go in another direction altogether. From the description: Rampart? Sentry? Sentinel? Warden?

3. If you want to make the Golem use the Samurai sprite, can I suggest a palette change?

Thanks for the comments.

Asmo, rest assured that the Civilian class will heavily restricted, even if it's the Squire class. The AI won't have much Civilian to control, and beside, i decide the equipement for each battle. Il consider the names changes and your golem idea looks awesome.

Cheetah, Zozma will one day finish those, he told me :-(.

Update 09/03/05

- New video Added.
- Skillset Post announced.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pda04k5SfA

Next thing il do is a Skillset post. For each class, il start the skillset with this form :
Soul crush :
Description:
Use:
Quote:
Range: X
Effect Area: X
Vertical: X
Inflit Status: X
CT: X
Mp cost: X
Foumula: X
X: X
Y: X

For each ability of every class. This will be a pretty big post indeed, and it will be updated from time to time.

Also now i am making quicker progress, and i finnalised some things, unless divine light strikes me.

No random battle, no world map, no shop, no fur shop, straight storyline. GET THAT.

Most likely. Story - Battle - Reward - formation - Save - Again.

All fixed battle with varying equipement, grinding prevented (or so i hope) and the whole reworked.

Comments :-( ?

News :
- Civilian was taken off the Jobs, it sucks, and unless i get it requested, i won't do anything.

MADMARTIGAN joined the Call of Power team !!!! You can expect faster developement.

Seriously, this guy is a MACHINE. 2 hours and he makes what i did in 8 hours, and better. Guess i am getting old.
He is a Event Editer, and a good one at that.

*Rings the victory bell*

Also, i expect to be able to show a demo within 1 month. The only updates il do until then are new tweaks, ideas, updates posts, and the ability post for Squire, Knight, Elemantalist, and 1-2 others.
