Bay 12 Games Forum

I've only ever played Knight of Lodis, but if that was anything like the rest of the series, I would enjoy it, and probably know how it works.

Name: Aqizzar
Class: Dragoon eventually, Soldier obviously to start
Item: Francescas exist right?
Item: best armor you can spare
Item: Bowgun
Item: Bandanna
Element: Earth

I don't got those items yet.
Items list is up top.

Item: Cure (do these have weight?)

1 yeah, forgot to write that. Not that 1 is large enough to encumber you at all.
Always a good idea to bring one around, just in case.

                                                                                                                                       
Let's Play Tactics Ogre! A tactical RPG!

When the game starts, I choose a name for the main character (Me)

You are then asked to choose your birthdate and god.

In the opening credits you see a pleasant village. Then you see dark knights. Then you see dark knights slaughtering village.
The dark knights abduct this guy, too.


CHAPTER ONE - Are you telling me to stain my hands?

You see three characters in a room, Vice (Buddy), Kachua (Sister), Rashilul (Me)

A small scene plays out.
Vice: Evil guy Lans are hear and we must kill them to live up to revenge and murder to set the stage for my character!
Rashilul: Ayup, even though I'm the main character I pretty much only say yes or no to other peoples ideas.
Kachua: How can a bunch of kids take on trained knights? I'm obviously gonna Whiny McWimp
Rashilul: Don't worry, Kachua, we can take em on because of SNEAK ATTACKS although, even if we kill one each in the first attack, they'd still be enough to kill us easily.  (One could shrug em off easy)

They walk outside.

Kachua: We won't defeat them, besides, what good is it to kill these guys?
Vice: Lans (Leader of black knights, evidently) is the leader of the black knights, they're the source of Bacrum's power. By killing lans we can weaken Bacrum's power here for a while. Then the Gargastan forces will make their move and invade Bacrum, then we can make our counter-attack!
Kachua: We're still recovering from the last war, are you trying to start another one?
Vice: What do you mean we're still recovering, Kachua?! The Walstanians are being treated like shit!! Gargastan is trying to wipe us out!
Kachua: But... to start a war over reasons such as these... We'll just end up losing...
Rashilul: ...Shhh, they're here...
]Vice: We will attack from both sides. Rashilul, you attack from the rear!
Rashilul:Alright...(He uses lots of dots)

Battle starts.


Vice attacks the hawkman, but is blocked.
Knight: ...Who are you?
Vice: We are warriors of the Walastan Liberation Army! We will avenge our people's suffering!
Knight: Avenge?
Winged Man: what a polite way to welcome people... Look at them, they're just kids!
Knight: Wait, are you sure you're talking to the right person?
Vice: If your name is Lans then you're our enemy!
Knight: Indeed, my name is Lans. How did you know?
Vice: You and the dark knights burned down this town a year ago!
Knight: Dark knights? But we are from the eastern kingdom of Zenobia.
Kachua: ...I remember now, the dark knight's Lans has only one eye.
Knight: Hmm... a one eyed dark knight who happened to share the same name. I see...
Winged Man: We came to this island looking for work as mercenaries.
Knight: My name is Lans... Lans Hamilton. A knight from the kingdom of Zenobia.
Winged Man: I'm Canopus. People call me "The Wind Rider" And that old fart, his name is...
Magician: Warren... Warren Moons...
Knight2: My name is Mildain Walhorn. A Zenobian knight.
Knight3: And my name is Guildus, also from Zenobia, so stop looking at us like that.
Vice: ...But I thought... I guess they're not the dark knights.
Kachua: Please forgive us, but I must ask for your help.
Lans: We're new to this island. Tell us what is going on.
Vice: My name is... Vice... Damn it we're wasting time! We must find the real Lans!
Kachua: I am Kachua, a priestess. And this is my brother, Rashilul
Rashilul: I'm Rashilul. Forgive us.
Lans: We sure were surprised. But never mind that... It's very hot here. Why don't you take us somewhere cool and tell us your story?
Kachua: Let's go to our hideout. We can't offer you much, but at least it's cool.

Kachua: ...We just don't have the manpower to fight against the country of Gargastan. That's why Bacrum asked support from the Kingdom of Lodis. Their problem was similar to ours.
Canopus: I see... That's why the Kingdom of Lodis sent dark knights the Bacrum.
Warren: ..."The Roslolian Knights" are the knights that work directly under King Saldian. King Saldian commands 16 divisions. Their duties consist mainly of espionage... Collecting info from the other countries, carrying out conspiracies... That is why they're the dark knights.
Guildus: But why are the Ros...Something supporting Bacrum?
Vice: Let me ask you something. Why did you come to our island? I bet you guys just came here to take over Valeria, starting with us, isn't that right!? The Kingdom of Zenobia and the Kingdom of Lodis are going to trigger the war from this island!!
Kachua: Stop it Vice, I've had enough of your conspiracy theories...
Lans: ...I understand the situation now, Vice. Let me answer your question. It is true that we are Zenobians. But we no longer work for the king. We were banished from the kingdom.
Guildus: In other words, we're fugitives. We can never go back.
Canopus: Therefore we're looking for employment. With decent pay, of course.
Vice: I'm not buying into this! This is our war!
Kachua: I said that's enough, Vice. You have to excuse him, he's a bit...
Lans: Don't worry about it, there's no need to apologize. What are you planning to do now?
Rashilul: ...We have to rescue Duke Ronway. He's imprisoned in Amorika Castle...
Lans: Who's Duke Ronway? Is that your leader?
Vice: Yeah. He's the leader of the Walstanian... He was caught by Gargastans. We heard that he's going to be executed soon. We have to do something...
Canopus: Hmm... I hear the sound of money... Hey Lans, why don't we help them out?
Vice: I'm sorry that I doubted you guys. Kachua is right. We don't have the manpower. We need your help.
Guildus: If it's a deal then let's not waste time. Off to Amorika Castle!
Kachua: W-Wait a minute... there are lots of soldiers at Amorika Castle. We can't...I mean even with knights we can't win. We'll all die. I don't want to be part of this.
Lans: Rashilul, it's your call.
Rashilul: We can't fight this alone. Please help us.
Lans: You have yourself a deal. Let's get going.
*Everyone leaves except Kachua and Rashilul*
Kachua: ...You never listen to me, do you... I know what you're thinking. But I just don't want to lose you. You're the only family I have left. It's just that... You're my only brother. I don't want you to die... I-I'm sorry, I know that I can't stop you. But promise me one thing, don't leave me...
*Vice walks in*
Vice: What are you guys doing? Everybody's waiting for you.
*Rashilul walks out*
Vice: You are so over-protective, Kachua. He's a big boy now, he can take care of himself...
Kachua: Don't you ever shut up!? My brother is not blood-thirsty like you.
Vice: Look, I'm not fighting because I want to. I just don't want to go down without a fight.
Kachua: Oh, don't talk like such a tough guy. You were counting on those knights!
Vice: You were the one who invited them! Don't tell me...
Kachua: I'm being nice to them so that we can take advantage of them. Maybe if you had half a brain you would have figured that out already. You should be thankful.
Vice: a priestess taking advantage of people. What a bitch!!
*Vice walk out*
Kachua: I just... don't want to lose anyone...

Editing screen

Amorika castle is a two-part battle

FIGHT IT OUT
In this battle, I only get to control one guy, Rashilul.

The screen pans down to a castle gate with several soldiers in front of it.
Bapalu, boss type guy: You are the guerillas from Griate. Are you trying to rescue Ronway? Okay guys. These kids have a price on their heads! These guys are worth 2,000 Goth. They fell into our trap. Kill 'em all!!

*Battle starts*
Knights: Tutorial shit.

Bapalu: I see.. you heard the rumor of the Duke's execution... Stupid fools! Didn't you realize it was bait to lure you here!?

*Bit of fighting*

Bapalu: You guys are not from the island. Are you from Lodis!?

*Vice kills the boss*

Bapalu: I-I can't believe I lost...
*Lans walks up to gate*
Lans: Okay, we'll just go straight through. Be cautious.
Canopus: Rashilul, don't push yourself too hard. Just stay behind us!!
Next battle

Agres: What a disaster, Lord Nybbas is on vacation... Okay guys, these scum bags killed Bapalu! Don't underestimate them. We cannot allow to take over Amorika Castle. Let's show them what we've got!!!

 *Battle*
Agres: Where are you from, strangers? Why are you involving yourselves in the war? This is a war between the Gargastans and Walstanians. It has been fought for centuries. Or are you also trying to get Valeria? Do you have the same ambition as Lodis? Answer me!
Lans: We have been banished from are country. We are fighting with these for the cause of money justice.
Canopus: We're looking for a job. Are you hiring?
Agres: We don't need the help of foreigners. We have our own army.
Canopus: If that's the case then... let's get Duke Wrongway... I mean Ronway back and get paid.
Agres: Arrogant fools. Fighting for money! Your end is near!

*Guildus kills Agres*
Agres: I... I can't believe I lost to a bunch of kids and a chicken man... Impossible...

*The screen fades in to a screen with Duke Ronway, Lans, Warren, Canopus, Rashilul, Kachua, and Vice sitting at a table*
Ronway: Thank you for rescuing me. I'm finally out of that cursed prison. Especially Rashilul (Why?? I killed one guy) I am extremely encouraged to know that I was saved by righteous Walstanian youths. You were definately sent by the gods to us in our darkest hour.
Rashilul: Our comrades are gathering at the Castle upon hearing news of your rescue.
Ronway: There will be little time before Gargastans decide to attack us. We have to re-establish our army first... Byt the way, I heard that you were exiled. Is that correct?
Lans: It is the truth, sir. We have been exiled from our own country.
Ronway: I wonder... How about you, wise man. 2 Years ago, when Zenobia was established, there was a wizard under the king. And you, Lans, how can a king abandon such an intelligent warrior like you?
Warren: I did hear about the wizard. But it was not me.
Ronway: Are you knights anything like the Roslolian knights, a dark envoy of Lodis? Didn't the kingdom of Zenobia want to rule over Valeria? If so...
Kachua: Duke Ronway. These knights put their lives on the line to rescue you.
Lans: A knight will become a knight when he has a master worth pledging his allegiance to. We don't have one.
Ronway: I see... Your word is taken as a token of your honesty. I may give you a reward. I trust you will train my troops and guard my castle.
Lans: As you wish...
*Lans, Warren, and Canopus leave*
Ronway: Now Rashilul, your father was a pastor of Griate, was he not? I remember meeting him once. He was a very bright man
Kachua: Duke Ronway, please avenge my father... and all the people who were killed in Griate.
Ronway: I understand. But our first and closest enemy is Gargastan. I shall not only accept you as part of the Libertion Army, but welcome you as official knights of Amorika.
Rashilul: A knight...
Ronway: The people of Walsta will be encouraged and our unity will be strengthened by having you as knights. And you shall work directly under me. Are you willing to accept this?
Vice: of course, as you say, sir. Don't you think so, Rashilul?
Ronway: Good, then let's make a name for your battalion.
Ronway: Bay12... This is a nice name. I expect much from you. Now, I want you to go to a town. It's called Krizar. My trusted knight, Leonard, is after Nybbas. But it seems that he is stronger than we thought. I want you to go to Krizar and help Leonard. Now, before you leave this castle you better recruit more soldiers and buy good equipment. For that, I shall give you 20,000 goth. As soon as you are ready, go to Krizar. I will have my other knights accompany you.
Vice: You can count on us. We will finish what we have started for Walsta's future.
Ronway: I pray for your success and Walsta's future

Lans: Thanks to you we found a lord to serve. Thank you.
Rashilul: We should be the ones to thank you.
Lans: I heard that you're going to support Ronway's army. We can't go with you, but let me give you one piece of advice before you go off into battle. If you do not want to die, train before you go into battle. To have the entire unit have the same strength level will make a difference. Don't overdo it though, just concentrate on your training. Never forget that
Rashilul: I understand. Training...
Lans: That's right. Good luck.

Okay, Now I can recruit 9 units. There 3 unit types I can recruit.
Soldiers: Male humans
Amazons: Female Humans
Golems: Kinda crappy L size units. I can only have 2 L size units in a battle (I think)

Each unit has four item slots. Anything can be equipped in these.
However, only two items that use hands can be equipped at once (i.e. One sword one shield, one sword one bow, etc.)
only one body item can be equipped at once, only one foot item can be equipped at once, etc.
Also, the heavier something is, the more weighed down you are, therefore those with lighter equipment have their turn faster.

There are seven stats
HP
MP
Attack power - ATP
Ranged attack power - RAP
Magic Attack power - MAP
Defense - DEF
Magic defense - MDF

No one can use magic yet.

The items available are:
Leather cap: Does nothing Weight: 4
Mini sword: +12 ATP Weight: 3
Short sword: +15 ATP Weight: 7
Tower shield: +4 DEF +3 MDF Weight: 10
Cedar staff: +6 ATP +10 MAP Weight: 2
Short bow: +10 RAP Weight: 4
Robe: +1 DEF Weight: 1
Leather: +1 DEF +1 MDF Weight: 6
Cure: Cures 50 HP Weight:1


L size units cannot use equipment, but can still use items.

An average level 2 human may have 30 - 40 in each stat, and usually over 60 health.

There are also four elements to choose from:
Water
Wind
Fire
Earth
These can catch certain terrain bonuses, such as grass making water and earth better and fire and wind worse

So to join fill this out

The game also has perma-death, so if anyone dies, someone else can move in.
