Fire Emblem: The Dragon Herald 1. Introduction 2. Plot 3. Changes from Sacred Stones 4. Credits 5. Appendix 6. Contact Me 1. Introduction Fire Emblem: The Dragon Herald is a fangame made using FEBuilder with Sacred Stones as the base game. It is meant to be a fully FEGBA-style game, meaning that the admittedly very cool skill system is completely omitted, and the FE8 skills are used instead. The Dragon Herald was a personal exercise in talentlessness, with two goals: to be completed with as little personal skill on the part of the developer as possible by using community resources for everything, and to be entirely complete upon release. Theoretically anyone could have made this game, which is a testament to the great strides in FEGBA hacking made by the community. 2. Plot In the continent of Orsia, there exist three nations following a long war: Folga, a northern nation with a focus on magical research, Raudel, an empire that has recently acquired new territory along the Folga/Raudel border, and Verius, a theocracy that generally maintains neutrality in continental conflicts. Verius also serves as the central hub of the dragon faith, the only widespread religion in Orsia. The story follows You, a figure in the dragon faith tasked with delivering the word of the dragons to an annual international summit meant to prevent further war from breaking out. 3. Changes from Sacred Stones There's a few. Weapon Changes - Standard Bows (Iron, Steel, Silver) are 2-3 range. - Iron Bows require D bows to use, with Short Bows being the only E-rank bow. - Magic Swords do not use half Str at range, but are weaker to compensate. - Magic Swords also give out WEXP. - Lances and Axes are largely unchanged, probably. - Swordslayer effectiveness extended to Rangers and the main lord's classes. - Anima/Light/Dark tomes have adjusted Wt/Mt to create roughly the same balance as Lances/Swords/Axes. - Light/Dark A and B rank tomes shuffled around a bit with new effects. - Staff EXP changed around. Example: Heal grants 15 EXP. - Fortify has been removed. Sorry. Class Changes - Mounted casters do not have access to staves, with one obvious exception. - Great Knight updated to 7 Mov. - General (renamed to Vanguard) updated to 6 Mov and can use bows. - Soldier is a real class (enemy growth Str/Skl focus). - Archer has enemy growth Skl focus with lowered Spd. - Berserker loses +Crit, gain low % chance of halving damage against them. - Assassin gains Bows and no longer has lethality. - Only Snipers can use ballistae. - Falcoknights use Lances and Staves. - Wyverns are Axe-based like newer games. - Wyvern Lord has armor, removing Bow and adding Armorslaying vulnerability. Has 7 Mov. - Wyvern Knight loses pierce but has 9 Mov. - A lot of promotion switches, have fun figuring those out. Promotion gains also altered. - Some new classes as well. General Changes - Game is Hard Mode-locked. It's probably not too hard. - No branches. - No world map. - Some units are considered Lord units and cause a Game Over. These include You and Taiga. 4.
