Sorry for no updates.. I took a week or so off on working on this, since it required a little creativity to get me going and I was kinda out of that.

I should have some screenshots by tomorrow, but I am taking some time to rework some of the existing battle scripts.. and will eventually make the Magus Sisters and Valvalis/Barbariccia to become fun battles. Let the sadistic script making continue!

I've added back in 2 formations that went missing in the Tower of Zot.

If you hadn't noticed already, some formations have already have more monsters added to them (I forgot when I started doing that, and I don't think I did changed any of them between Baron and the Mist Cave). No monster slot wasted!  :laugh: :wink:

Puppets are also not as easy to get EXP from (note that their EXP has not changed though).

The Magus Sisters now don't suck. No pictures because that would would spoil the fun.

Ok, there we go. Pretty much everything in the Tower of Zot, including the bosses are not a joke anymore.

Note: I used to hate the place, but then I found it stupidly easy after using my brain.  :tongue:

Protip: If you're having trouble with the bosses, formation, treasure hunting, and knowing the properties of the equipment you have obtained are my only helpful hints.

Nngh.  Spent a half hour killing Cindy.  Really not motivated to attempt that fight again now.

I was very tempted to add Boast into the script... that would've been gold.

The biggest problem I have is damaging them, not surviving attacks so much.

I'll throw you a bone.

If you draw what you know of the Magus Sisters, what do you know?

Additionally, Cindy's able to absorb virtually every elemental (except one, but even then, you don't have that elemental available).

When Cindy is dead, it takes 4 turns before either sister attempts to revive all of the dead sisters.

I've tried finding a Yang claw combination that will bug the absorb, but none of them work.  Best damage I can deal to her is via Cecil's Silver sword for 200-300.  The other sisters are much easier to kill, but if it's a delicate matter of damaging the other sisters enough to finish them in 4 turns, it's really hard to tell.  Takes hours of trial and error and damage logging to figure out their max HP.

I've likely missed plenty of drops in the Tower itself.  The enemies I have killed haven't dropped anything, and there's several I can't kill at all (Icebeasts, Epeegirls).

One question I'd have is, does Displ change speed back to 16?

Just add 15000HP to the default HP that have (I'm too lazy to come up with creative numbers... adding fixed numbers make it easier to recall some changes).

Not a lot of the drops are new (the best drops are from the Marion and Puppet), and there's quite a bit of drop reuse. Some of the monsters ultimately do require a bit more thought into killing.

No, it does not. Black Hole was originally the intended spell to increase difficulty (resetting speed and Wall/Reflect removal), but that didn't work out. However, Dispel used in a different instance (other than removing Wall/Reflect) intentionally to exploit a particular behavior and as a unintended but the nice result made Sandy a pure White magic user.

The next version will be 1.00, but that doesn't mean it's finished. It is notable that the Tower of Zot to underground has 4 consecutive bosses, so the next release is pending. A lot of what I've been allowed to do has improved many of the reaction scripts, so you may see lots more reuse of them to say the least...
