Welcome to my hack of FE7. Fire Emblem: The Road to Ruin.

Civil war has come to the country of Lycia. While how it began is debated among the common folk and even the aristocrats, all point their fingers to Laus as the violent aggressor. Eager to become the dominant power in Lycia, Laus invades Thria so as to position themselves directly at Ostia's doorstep in an attempt to destroy the territory once and for all.

However, not all is as it seems in this war. Allies may just be enemies, and those you thought only craved blood may be better people than you originally believed. There is a sinister evil at work in Lycia, operating behind the scenes. Only time will tell if the country can survive as it steadily marches down the road to ruin....

Naturally, I have screenshots:

Spoiler - Screenshots a plenty

Current Version: v1.0 Download

Note: This is a .ups patch, so you will need Nintenlord's NUPS application.

Along with the patch file, credits, and release info, is the readme. The readme also contains know glitches and gamebreakers so be sure to give it a read.

Plans for future release:
- Add new music
- Add a few new battle animations
- Finish the damn thing


I hope you enjoy the demo! It currently covers the Prologue through Chapter 6. Please report any bugs, oddities, concerns, and funky stuff you find. You will be much appreciated.

Nice screens, the hack looks really good but the only thing that is bothering me is that you reuse some characters, but it's your hack.

Did you really already made 9 chapters?

The character thing I've gotten a lot and some characters may get changed to OC's in the future.

And yes, there are 10 chapters actually counting the Prologue. I've been working on this for quite some time.

[Masterplan201]

I downloaded the hack right now, I expect some great things

How many chapters you have planned?

[Primefusion]

Hmm, let's see *Counts with his fingers* 4 more I believe though another might get slipped in. Basically, I'm gunning for the hack to end at chapter 13 or 14.

Now to get myself motivated again....

[Kitty of Time]

I just has one thing to note, your screenies are all reduced in size, might want to fix that.

*downloads*

No! Photobucket, what have you DOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEE

Beats me, why that is. But they aren't reduced too much so I'm not that miffed.

Wewt! Moar Reskins!

Its not a reskin

Wewt! Moar Reskins!

The hack is full custome, only the characters are old.

The prologue was a way to easy Vex could defeat all enemies by himself.

It's suppose to be a bit of a primer. *I hope* the other chapters aren't like that too much. And I can warn you right now that using only Vex will eventually have it's consequences later on

However, with that said I'll look into upping the difficulty a little for the prologue.

Wewt! Moar Blenders!

Wewt! Moar Blenders!

Dude, it's vanilla...Did you even read the post?

[Primefusion]

Wewt! Moar Blenders!

Nope, like I said, this is a vanilla. Let's look to what Markyjoe says on all three types mentioned to far:

~Reskin~
A hack that does not change event or map data. Most Reskins typically make graphical, stat, class and text changes with a cross over type story where the Fire Emblem cast meets characters from other Fire Emblem games or different franchises entirely.


~Blender~
A Reskin hack that, although for the most part is a reskin, does change a few maps and event data here and there, but not enough to make the experience so different from a reskin.

~Vanilla~
The opposite of a reskin hack. A vanilla hack makes little, if any changes to graphics, but the maps and event data are all entirely new. May also include text, class and character stat changes.

Every chapter has custom events and maps. None are reused.

[Burning Gravity]

Yay, a vanilla hack! With good progress!

I will download and enjoy this I am SURE, it looks great. < And that will happen in 2 weeks.

If there are any major bugs, glitches, gameplay imbalances, etc., should we notify you?

[Primefusion]

Just report them here. I already have my own to do list so I'll add them to it.

Also, if you read the Release Info.txt, I want to know if the Canto/wrong music bug was fixed. I didn't test it, just added some event commands I thought should work.

The two biggest imbalances I've heard so far are:
- Prologue is too easy
or alternatively
- Vex is too overpowered

Though I'm thinking it's the former since the sum of his growth rates is the same as almost everyone else. Might be his starting stats though.

[Regal Bryant]

great, Vanilla was my next guess :D, and Dr.Sholes, nope, I didn't read it.

[Blazing_Soul]

Oh ho I see you've been quite busy eh Prime? Looks like something for me to try out here soon enough. As in another 15 minutes from now.

[Regal Bryant]

Anyways....me likey, me play in 2 minutes, me think good.
