Fire Emblem - Crowns and Thrones ROM

Fire Emblem – Crowns and Thrones: What is it? The gameplay is experimental to say the least, so don’t go into this expecting standard FE gameplay. I’m going to say this: the gameplay is probably not for everyone… Things like growths and leveling up, for example, is not a thing in this hack. More about gameplay later. The game is only 10 chapters long. However, there are also 4 gaiden chapters and 2 prologues. So, 16 chapters in total.

Story

The game takes place after The Phantom King. There is supposed to be a game in-between the two (I’m still working on that). While that one is a direct sequel to The Phantom King, this one has very little to do with the story of the other two. This one can be enjoyed without having played the other two. So, what’s the story about? 

The first half of the story is about Prince Leon, who tries to protect his kingdom from foreign invaders, as well from his tyrannical father King Richard. The second half will take place 27 years later and has a different protagonist. Just as with The Phantom King, there are a lot of characters, places, noble houses and territories. That’s why I once again made a bunch of tables and maps for reference, which are in the Documentation.

Features

Gameplay

• All units have fixed stats.
• There are 2 types of units: Commanders and generics.
• Commanders are characters in the story. They have names and are lost when you let them die. Most of them have 1 personal skill and 1 leadership star. You should be careful with your commanders because everytime you lose one, you lose a leadership star as well, which puts you at a disadvantage against your enemy. Most commanders can also choose their promotion at the start of a chapter. Commanders will lose their promotion on the next chapter, which allows you to choose their playstyle for that specific chapter. The amount of commanders you get is very limited!
• Generic units make up the bulk of your army. Every chapter you’ll get a set amount of generics. They should be seen as more of a resource instead of characters that need to stay alive. Generics have skills as well, but these are tied to their class. As a result, every class has its own role (Check the classes and weapons table below for more info).

Weapons

• All weapons need either an E rank or A rank to use. Wether a unit can use a specific weapon depends on how proficient their class is with the weapon type.
• At the start of most chapters you get 50 gold (which is worth about 2-3 weapons depending on how you spend it) to spend on weapons and items. All weapons and items will be lost when finishing a chapter.

Villages

• Instead of items or weapons, villages provide you with reinforcements. Most villages (castles as well) have shops and armories too.

Known Bugs

• Staff users and dancers can still gain EXP points by using staves/dancing.
• Not really a bug, but in chapter 2x you can move Taufik (Who you need to defend) around by shoving, swapping, pivoting or repositioning him with skills. This is not really how I intended it, but I don’t really have a solution for this as of now.
