Thanks Dice. I knew there was a program, but I didn't remember what it was called and I didn't feel like browsing through nearly 600 pages to find it :P

As soon as you mentioned Iji, I knew I had to download this. Looks epic and amazing.

Well, crapola.

Even with Reduced Size Windows checked, the bottom-most buttons on several windows (including event updates and Task Groups) can't fit on the screen. My best default resolution is 1366 X 768. I can try custom resolutions, but I'm afraid of breaking something on the computer. Any suggestions?

(running Windows 7 64-bit)

I claim the Mindum. A fighting type will surely be useful.

I was building churches in every town, though I wasn't training many priests. Too busy trying to finally defeat the Scots and build a toe-hold on the mainland. The fact that I devoted most of my unit production to a unit that sounded great but was actually crap (and thus, needed to replace losses) didn't help.

Considering how much BfW is like Fire Emblem, I do my best to keep all of my units alive; even the cheap and replaceable healers and peasants. The fact that they can level up and become far more powerful is even more incentive to take care of them, but I tend to take a narrative approach to these games and view each of the units as characters in their own right.

The last unit I lost was a mounted knight that had made it to level 2. He was swarmed and killed by undead, and he even managed to gasp out some last words. He wasn't even one of the special loyal characters; just a unit that I had recruited a few battles ago.

Physics glitch'd. Tried to push a block, somehow ended up inside a wall and died instantly.

I wonder what other fictional places there are.

I've looked for a bunch of them, starting with LV-426 from Aliens. No luck. A "Sci Fi Planets" compilation mod would be sweet.
If someone could mod in the Star Wars galaxy, they'd have my eternal gratitude.

When the entire Catholic Church is controlled by a nation that you NEED to defeat to win the game, while every nation around you demands tribute and then declares war after you pay, cluster f-bombs are sure to follow.

I forget what type this gym uses. Bugs, right?

If so, use Firelordsky and Barbarossa. Maybe Dsarker as well; I'm not sure if bug or poison attacks can hurt ghost-types.

Also, what 'mons are coming up in the next route or two?

I can't say I've noticed very much bad dialogue, at least not compared to some of the other stuff I've seen.

What I tend to do (I'm only in the beginner campaign) is bring along plenty of loyal troops. They tend to be stronger than new default soldiers, and I don't have to pay for their upkeep. Two of them are peasants which never get any exp if I can avoid it, and are healed right away if they get hurt. My goal is to have them survive the campaign as "those two guys".
