WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE WITH AN ENEMY GENERATOR?

Unlike Lunar where the game developers knew what stats they are giving the characters, the maker of this engine won't know what stats the user will give his or her characters. For example, I have played an RMXP game where it wasn't uncommon for characters to have more than twice as much Physical Defense as they have Attack Power. In order for that to work, enemies have to have less Physical Defense, but more Attack Power, than the playable characters. That was also the case. The current enemy generator however cannot produce that result. Either enemies will have more in both stats or less in both stats.

Instead of 2 times the stats, try something in line of "kills in X hits and dies after Y hits". For example, an A class enemy warrior kills the PC warrior in two hits and takes 10 attacks from the warrior to die while an F class enemy warrior needs 10 attacks to kill the PC warrior and dies after just one hit. To pull this of you will need to fully understand how damage is computed, but to be frank, there's no way to successfully create a none broken enemy generator anyway without understanding the damage algorithm. Heck, I doubt the enemy generator will work period.

I would just like to say that this is how I balance my games. It is an effective and good ball-park way to set up boss HP!

I get way too caught up on forcing my boss (and other) enemy slats to conform to the game's intenral rules. i.e. Boss X needs to have Stat Y because he is a Level 10 Assassin. Then to decrement him in power I can't just be like "eh...200 less HP", I have to do all of the necessary maths (there are a lot because I have to peek and tweak in the database in various tedious ways, I don't have all this shit charted out) to figure out how to change his stats to power him down to a Level 8 Assassin if the fight is too hard. This is creating more work for myself...I don't know, maybe it's just a compulsion. (I do the same thing with enemy equips and how they effect enemy of stats. Again I don't have a script for this or anything I am just doing this all with mental arithmetic.)

Manually inputting into Excel what value of every single class that every single class has at every single level (before and after modification with every single piece of equipment)?

*shoots self*

That's the kind of mind-erasingly tedious data-entry task people should get paid for.

I should have used Excel from the beginning, granted but it can do nothing to help my problems now.

I am going to need a more detailed explanation of this at some point from someone.
