Also what's wrong with the Leveling and HP?

And Here's the Classes to choose from

Go here for the nice and neat chart

It's base class to Promoted options.

I was considering removing the level cap like FE:A has done which pretty much means you could cap all stats.

But then it gets ugly when you start factoring in cumulative levels and internal level calculations to determine EXP gains.

Well, 80 max hp isn't going to be dynamic. There's a difference of satisfaction between dealing 6 damage to a 300 HP boss and dealing 20k damage to a 1 million HP boss.

Fire emblem is technically meant to be easy to calculate.

I could disguise it to seem like that by simply multiplying everything by like a few thousand and then in the calculations do a little hat trick so that the stats appear the same but the HP is some monstrous number.

It's meant to be almost a 1:1 ratio from stats to calculations.
You're supposed to be able to do the math in your head.

Like hell if I have to break out a calculator to make decisions.

To be honest, it's actually meant to be a very unforgiving system.

The way Fire Emblem is played is not on the premise of just dealing hits and taking them
It's more on dealing maximum damage while minimizing how much you take.

It's why you have the archers sneak in and deal a hefty amount of damage to a unit before you move in with another. So that your other unit takes no damage.

I mean, if you watch like my LP of Fire Emblem Sword of Seals you can see it's not
Hur hur I deal a lot of damage and can take a lot of damage hur hur
It's meant to be "Sh*t...I have only this much HP...all of them to fight...and my healer is going to be in the crossfire if I bring her with me...I need to think of a better way of tackling this..."

Of course the difference is the fact that unlike FE, we're not working on a grid...it's just choose a battle which eliminates the positioning aspects to a degree...
....

....again I might try to adjust the calculations but it's not fun to calculate those numbers in your head.

double post

Ok I'm on the verge of completing the calculator...

I just need to figure out how to autonomously make it record new stats growths...
I know I can do it...
I just can't remember what function I need....



The calculator thus far

If I can get the stat growths to record themselves I would be happy...
...
I don't think I can...

Ok the stat calculator is done for basic stats...

The only place of error is transcribing the stat growths because I can't see how to do it manually.

Also another place of error is when including other weapon ranks. It would be tedious to set it up to gather the points from each battle so...I need to work on that.

Nothing else seems too out there...

now I can work on a battle calculator....
...tomorrow...

I have to get up early for a game (sports game) tomorrow so I'm heading off early tonight. FYI I am actually playing in the game.

@Zekai
JOCK!!!
Nah... I'm not that cruel to outright label people as jocks. Save for my old college math class. Everyone in that class was a jock. Even the teacher!
Hope you do well in the game. What kind is it? Football? Baseball? Soccer?

As a matter of fact, I might head to bed as well. It's like approaching 2:30 here and I need some fricking rest. Hopefully, my mod expectation comes true and we pull through tonight through to Sunday. I'm looking at you, Wriggle.

Note for me in the morning:

- Remove weapon rank bonus.

- Fix Weapon Rank Calculator to include Initial Weapon Rank Stat

- Set up Equip Check

@Wonder
If you are online, can you post for AtWaG, mentioning that Jason went with John through the Corridor?

Crap. Forgot 'bout that.

While I'm here, anywhere else I'm needed before I shut down?
