Nice work! Bookmarked on Steam.

Excellent game. Maximum atmosphere!!!
"- What is happening?"
:D

The Fusil crafting recipe has Flashbang Manual. What is it? I made all three and I cannot find them in the inventory. Usually Skill Books were used in Fallout 1-2 to teach skills or increase their efficiency (0-200%)

Bakunawa elemental sword: Equipped it on my Terror Knight. It has greater damage than Crucible Reaver. I noticed it has Water affinity. So if I learn the skill Augment Water and ready it on my Terror Knight, will this sword hit harder, as Augment Water gets higher ranked?

One Lich remains: I had great fun seeing when I returned after many fights later, only one Lich remained on Ripples of Grief. Well, I thought, this is because I abducted the other one during my first run on the Pirates Graveyard!
Then, - to check if this info was solid -, just now I entered the battle and checked out the combatants. One male Lich remained for sure! But I noticed a definitely inconspicuous looking, diminutive little dwarf or goblin or whatever.. Checking out who the heck this was, to my surprise it turned out to be a tiny Female Lich! WOW! I don't remember these being so small! :D :D Also she is smarter than the male Lich, has greater magical power. This was fun! :D I'll probably abduct her and the other male Lich as well and prepare my 3x Lich Army!! :D

Vyce (LVL22 Ranger) STR 100 / VIT 79 / DEX 111 / AGIL 150 / AVD 188 / INT 97 / MIND 100 / RES 101 (Lobber, Francisca, Phantom Cloak, Scale Leggings, Ring of Alacrity)
had only one status on him: WEAKEN

I reloaded a savestate and cleared weaken from Vice. Did a Lion dance with Hobyrim, which added Strengthen to Vyce.

Now Vyce is doing 64 HP damage with Scorpion Sting (lightning element) + Augment Lightning to an enemy (completely healed up by me):

Winged LVL22 Archer with Quicken (which I added to recreate the situation), no debuffs, and this archer has Damasc Shield, Brigandine, Burgonet, Ring of Finesse and Damasc Bow equipped and his stats are:
STR 86
VIT 71
DEX 124
AGIL 140
AVD 155
INT 77
MIND 82
RES 84

Level map has dominating DARK element. So it was the weaken as you said. WOW! :-oo That's a lot of damage reduction for Weaken. Hmm.. I think I'll use weaken a lot on enemies from now on! :D

Where Azelstan joins in The Pirate's Graveyard my LVL22 Vyce with Rank 8 sidearms - weapon: Francesca, with Herpetology - does 6HP damage with any finishing moves against a LVL22 reptile fusilier (AVD144) wearing only Brigandine. To the other remaining LVL22 reptile Juggernaut(AVD110) he does 1HP damage. To all the other units wearing damasc armor he does 1HP damage with any of his finishing moves. Why?
Everybody else does high damage especially with their finishing moves.

Yes, Sherri and other members had reflection on from Hobyrim.

Spells cast not reaching their remote target at random: Can the cause be the worst weather that my cleric has cast Heal III on Sherri 3 squares away and the spell is cast onto the head of my cleric instead? Repeatedly happens - at random - to my support-healers. Have save file as well.. :-o IIRC this doesn't happen to my casters of offensive magic. That would be very annoying!

Body Snatch: Again I recruited my favorite Lich in Pirate's Graveyard. Is it a bad idea to try to body-snatch humanoids with this Lich? I was thinking snatching a reptile juggernaut, then an Orc, then a Medusa, etc.. then I go back to Lich.. Can I acquire new skills this way? Or is bodysnatch only good for fighter classes? You say only mental stats are transferred. But on the net (in posts from 2011) I read that with bodysnatch you can acquire new skills from other classes as well?

My idea of bodysnatching: I can steal stats - STR, VIT, INT, AGI, etc.. AND skills from exotic units and combine it into a Frankenstein class. Like I want my Lich for example.. :D But I read your post on the net about bodysnatch that its very limited - in Vision?

Rename: I renamed all my generic monster units with hex-editing, so that's no problem.

Lord's mark: when Forgery became available after Pirate's Graveyard, I changed into 'Lord LVL1' with Denam and went to the screen 'Learn New Skills', I noticed the entire skill list is missing. No grey entries, no black buyable skills.. just one line at the top: Add New Skill = MASTERED. Is that the intended behavior?
- -
Patched a fresh original ISO. Began a new game. Played until reaching the main map. Checked 'Warrior LVL3 Denam's Learn New Skill List: its full with black and grey skills available for purchase. I have 175pts. Bought no skills yet! Activated the '10 Lords Mark'-cheat published here. Changed into Lord LVL1 with Denam. But here in Lord Class, the previously full Skill List for Warrior Class is gone.. Skill list is now empty: I can only see the black "Add Skill Slot" for 60pts on the Learn screen. Nothing else I can buy with my "New Game Denam" who is now Lord LVL1.. :-o ?

My red dragon threw a rock at a winged human swordmaster, who PARRIED it. As Lob Boulder is a ranged attack, shouldn't he have DEFLECTed it?

Hobyrim has Augment Light and I frequently use with him Harvest Dance, which has the Light element. Why does usage of Harvest Dance not increase Augment Light?
If it cannot, Augment Light assignment to him only makes sense if he will be able to achieve a Finishing Move with Light Alignment if such exists.. I'm currently at Katana 2H Rank 4 with him as I'm leveling him up, so he currently serves as background support "samurai priest"..

LIVES: Three Life Heart Icons each character has. My Xapan lost one.
Can I somehow give him the lost life back? Like ingame "Book of Life" ritual or something?

Maybe failed spellcasting? Otherwise it must be bad patching somehow. On subsequent turns they can cast spells correctly. Was same with earlier playthrough as well couple years ago. Maybe the remainder of the money cheat I used once, then turned off.. Well, its rare. First time it happened in this playthrough.

Spellcasters' healing & boosting spells are bouncing back onto themselves. AOE spells bugged like this hit the caster three or 4 times. Bug? My cleric cast All Heal and I marked three of my teammates, whom the spell should have healed and it bounced back and was cast three times on my cleric. Same behavior with Uram: he wanted to boost his team and his spell bounced back and fell 3x on him. Is this some kind of bad luck on the battlefield, or game-world quirk or bug? Snow is falling, map element is ice, since Uram cast Avalanche II, which fell back on him, exploding on his head 4 times and making him Fire Averse.

Anatomy as Recruit boost: I see most human classes were cleaned of Anatomy, which would enable easier recruiting as it says in its description. Only my dragon has Anatomy:
"Damage against human units and the ease of RECRUITING them." I guess my dragon will never be able to recruit human units. :D My Terror Knight however could use Anatomy and the recruit boost. :) Also Ninja, Warrior and most sword-fighting classes should have Anatomy as in the medieval ages it was a critical skill to know where the heck to stab the enemy to cause mucho bleeding and find the organs.. thus Anatomy!! Every expert bladesman knew anatomy throughout history, whether fighting in the West or in the Orient.. I guess because of unchangeable game code, it would have made Anatomy-using humans overpowered here. :)

I noticed the team of Blackguard Agnys in Phorampa were especially hard to recruit: ~6% Recruit skill gave me most, when I beat these powerful enemies close to death.
Can I increase this recruit % for powerful enemies early in game?
By all the other less powerful enemies Recruit usually gives me around 31~56% chance.

Nope. Because of dialogue path decisions, I lost her. :( OK. I guess, the only remaining alternative will be there with time: Lans.

I could steal a Holy Knight's mark from the Blackguard Agnys in Phorampa. However, after battle, there is no option offered to change into Holy Knight?
In comparison as soon as I stole the Necromancer mark it was instantly available on the Class Change Screen. :-o ?

Thank You for the rebalancing work and for arranging to access the boons of Almorica soon afterward!
You warned me years ago too, not to recruit those very eye-catching and strong reptile berserkers on random battlefields, because I'll have opportunities to get better fighters later on.

Thank You, Raics, for increasing Recruit Range with Rank increase!! Super Convenient! :D

Those NPC parties, who party-wiped me had been completely recruited, their quality equipment taken away from them, then they got fired. All their properties I've stolen [Rank 8 Steal] and when nothing remained in their pockets, I recruit-looted them all.
- - -
There should be an NPC Workers Union protecting the rights of these poor ingame NPCs from abuse by Thief & Murderer Looters like me. I'm already planning such in my own game [to be incorporated into the story].

Thank You for this amazing mod! I waited for many years and you finally presented v1.0!

I'm before 'The Gates of Almorica - Vanquish Sorcerer Modiliani' battle with his first two Warlock/Witch pals and the two dragons.
In order to properly recruit the Warlock and the Witch and steal the two dragons here, I changed one of my rogues into a dragoner lvl 1 and wanted to train her on Golborza plain against lvl.16 enemies, before storming the Gates of Almorica to chat up Modiliani. (Sara remains my main rogue with lvl8 Steal, thank you for her!!)

This random enemy group also had better equipment - probably *two* levels higher than is currently sold in the shops, so even better than the new stuff I could loot so far via random battles -, so I planned to recruit a few of these idiots then fire them to loot their exotic new equipment too! He-he..

But to my surprise, these enemy "idiots" gave me my first glorious Party Wipe in the game, resulting in GAME OVER and being transferred to the Title Screen. :D :D :D WOW! Tried with Denam as Terror Knight Lvl.17, Donnalto as lvl.17 Wizard, Canopus as lvl.17 Rogue, A nice lvl.17 monk girl NPC I hired right at start of game, so she has most skill points I spent, and Xapan as Lvl.11 Ninja, and an amazing NPC archer girl hired at game begin with lots of skill points I spent and a Siege Bow. All my blokes have exotic equipment not currently available in shops, stolen from enemies via recruits, drops and quickly maxed Rank 8 stealing & created via Crafting. Magesilver blades in Dual Wield, Ring of Alacrity, / Elder Staff, Warlock Robe, / Silver Point, Shard Shield, Ring of Might / Martel de Fer, Siege Bow... But despite this the enemies massacred us with ease. :D :D So I have to try out the battle again. Wanted to see, what happens after a Party Wipe. Now I know! :D

BTW: I had to go back to PPSSPP v1.7.4, after trying out the horrible newest version, because the new one always gave errors and crashed, but the old version never gave any error! Because I discovered "an ingame bug", which is the PPSSPP's R-button, it bugs out lots of times.. not selecting the next party member to the right properly, but rather displays the game version number with a "hick" sound effect.. so the "select party member to the Right" isn't working properly. Same error in the useless and buggy newest version of botched PPSSPP, where not even the VULKAN driver can be found anymore... I finally found the solution: somehow maximizing the emulator to FULLSCREEN with ALT+ENTER ==> actually **creates** this bug. So the solution is start PPSSPP => it automatically loads up the last quicksave / SaveState. Then I have to use the Main Menu --- Game Settings -- Fullscreen with the mouse to switch to fullscreen. After doing that the "R" button works as intended and pressing "R" I can select the next character with ease, the button never bugs out after that. (If remaining in fullscreen mode)

Looks beautiful! Congratulations! Also I applaud your excellent decision to create a sci-fi turn-based game! There are very few that have MOO-style combat.
It follows your game should be a great financial success!!

Additional references & ideas:
Warhammer 40K has great grim space-battle stories, ask around!

If you can somehow maybe consider bigger parts of ships falling off in fiery smoke and disintegrate. Essentially ships get shot apart gradually: hurt worse and worse then finally destroyed. The player can see / judge the level of destruction reached.

Aggh.. That duck face quickly sunk this game for me.

Lot of nice work went into this one!

Great work! Congratulations!

Looking good!

WOW! This game actually looks fun! Despite the weird pirate ship in space.. as in maybe Space Battleship Yamato? I hope the destroyed ships drop loot.

She sounds amazing! Also looks very Niobe in the Matrix at 1:57 in the video. That version I like best: where she has darker complexion and is an ebony chick. Excellent work! Congratulations!
