Wow, talk about not meeting deadlines, right? Some of you might remember that I annouced a Legionwood expansion pack, way back in late 2010. Although it ultimately ended up being cancelled due to hard drive failure, I managed to recover some of its assets a few months ago and, rather than doing the logical lazy thing and recycling them for Legionwood 2, I decided to piece them together and release the resulting mess.
So then, this is the Legionwood expansion I promised all those years ago but never actually delivered? Well, not really. But it's still a pretty cool addition to the Legionwood world.
Legionwood: Mysteries of Dynastland is an expansion pack/DLC for Legionwood: Tale of the Two Swords. Featuring a huge new story dungeon set in the midst of the game's chaotic fourth act, as well as a considerable number of all new optional endgame quests, a revised final dungeon and over a dozen new Techs to learn, it expands the original game's playtime by at least three hours and adds several long awaited features to game, including a graphical world map and quest journal.
The main addition in Mysteries of Dynastland is the titular Dynastland dungeon, which takes place between the Sealed Library and Lost City Crebt areas in Chapter 4. This sprawling dungeon crawl is filled with new enemies, puzzles and challenges to test your skills against, and also reveals the never-before-seen backstory of Zanthus and his long lost homeland as your party searches for the mythical Purity Crystal, an ancient Precursor artifact rumoured to be able to manipulate time itself.
Other notable additions to the game include 12 brand new Techs, including unique Techs exclusive to certain characters, a new set of powerful Dynastland equipment, a late-game "scavenger hunt" quest that will take you to the furthest corners of the world, a complete overhaul and rebalancing of all late game content and an expanded final dungeon with a new, harder version of Castoth to fight -- in both the normal and "true" varieties. Overall, it pretty much turns the final act of Legionwood into a completely new game, which was one of my main goals as I was always rather unhappy with how rushed that part of the game turned out.
Anyway, if you're itching for some new adventures, you can grab the DLC here. Simply point the installer to your Legionwood directory and extract, overwriting files when prompted. In order to experience the new content at the appropriate difficulty level, I recommend either starting a new game or loading a game that was saved before the Sealed Library, though most of the new content except for the Quest Journal can still be accessed otherwise.
Check out these screenshots to see some of the new locations in the game:
And with that, I'm off to work on Legionwood 2 again. Happy adventuring! :)

I think there might be another bug in the newest build 5.2 game; after you enter the Magris Academy and talk to Serino standing in front of the entrance to the Glacius' room the screen goes black, but there is music in the background O.O

I decided to replay the game, this time doing all sidequests I can find. I also decided to differentiate the characters more this time. The ideas so far:
Lann - I'm going to see if a fighter/mage hybrid is viable. With mage I mean offensive caster, I already know fighter/healer builds are not only viable, but overpowered. So far it does seem to work thank to the AP system having diminishing return and whips being hybrid equipment in nature. The question is however if I will use magic at all once Dual Wield is available.
Liara - I don't think I will keep her around once more characters join, so I didn't bother to think of any concept for her and just made her a vanilla mage. If nothing else it means I can't make any other character a vanilla mage without breaking the differentiation idea.
Ark - I have two ideas with him. First, he's going to be a fighter with heavy armor. That probably doesn't sound like a new concept, but in the other playtrough I made I found it more efficient to give fighters mage armor than heavy armor. The second idea is not to give him dual wield. I'll see if I can make him more than "the fighter who deals half the damage fighters with dual wielders does". Ideally without him having to spam Y-something Slash and eat Peptides like crazy.
I soon need to figure out something for Alexis.
Anyway, did you tone some bosses down in the latest build? The ogre never used it's earth spell and I could easily defeat it at level 3. Ifreet was killed before Merces left the battle, something that I've never been able to accomplish before.

Ah nvm I found it!
Now I am wondering how can I find another two image halves; I already got one from the hermit girl earlier in the game and another at the Pirate's Cove.

I managed to complete this.
It's a fantastic game, good job Dark Gaia.
I'll write a review for it when I get the chance. (Probably now.)

@Crystalgate: The good thing is that pretty much any character build is possible. My favourite part of when I play D&D with my friends is thinking of all sorts of wacky character builds and seeing if they worked. I wanted to reproduce that in Legionwood, but take away the class based core of D&D. The bosses were toned down a little - lots of complaints about their difficulty. If you want, you can go into the editor and make them harder yourself; some players are doing that.
@rubyrinx: The Seirno freezing glitch seems to happen only for some people. I have no idea what causes it, but if it happens, either redownload or load your game again and it will work.
@dezz: Glad you liked it!
With that said, the Legionwood Expansion Pack is coming soon.

While almost any build is possible and I'm not going for the most powerful this time, I will still only choose builds that I feel has meaningful advantages. The build I choose for Arc for example, has less agility, magic defense and later even damage output than a powerbuild fighter. Still, he does gain more defense and evasion, so there are meaningful advantages with it. Meanwhile, a critical hit build would (at this point at least) deal less damage in average than a Double Strike spammer as well as having less consistent damage and gain nothing useful in return.
Anyway, for Alexis I decided to make her a fast and strong physical fighter. The restriction I put on her is that I will not put any points into defense, evasion or HP. Basically, she's a glass cannon.
The Zombie Dragon or whatever it's called, is far tougher than any preceding bosses. It had a multitarget attack which could two-hit kill Arc and Alexis. Further, the boss could use that move twice in a row and only Alexis was guaranteed to be faster than it.
Edit: I just found out what exactly Luck does. This allows for tank builds, although not until later.
Why exactly is it called Luck? It's an extremely misleading name.
Anyway, in case anyone else wants to know what Luck does (did I miss the game in any way or shape mentioning what it does?), it decides how likely you are to get targeted. Each character has Luck chances of getting targeted. If you max out Luck, it will be 29 which means you have 29 chances compared to the 4 of every other character. This is almost a 71% chance of every single-target attack being directed at that character.

Eh, luck's purpose in terms of tanking is hinted by a NPC. But since that system wouldn't be absolute, and the attacks that hit the whole party generally tend to be the most lethal, I decided it wasn't really worth it to pump points into luck.

None of the stats are really explained. I did put a description of them on the gamepage for now. Considering that Luck determines how often you are targetted, I thought it was an apt name. That's generally what Luck does in other RPGs.

I can't recall any RPG where Luck determines how often you're targeted. Besides, even if it that's the case, I'd expect lucky people to be targeted less while in Legionwood lucky people are targeted more.
Anyway, I had to shelve my concept for Alexis since she got one-shot far to often. On the plus side, the Fighter/Mage hybrid build I gave Lann works really well. He can keep up with the more specialized characters and the balance is such that I'm using both physical and magical attacks frequently. I did not expect it to work so well honestly. Further, it seems Arc will be able to perform well as a non dual-wielding fighter. He has the Y-something Slash and the Ancient Helmet combined with Hyphotic Hit will allow him to keep that move up.
Also, I lowered the accuracy of a weapon to 1 and then used Double Slash with it equipped. Double Slash hit just fine making me think that accuracy still doesn't affect anything else than standard attacks.

Yes, I discovered that only days ago - the skills themselves have their own Accuracy, which is unaffected by your stat. Strangely enough, it is affected by being blinded however.

I'd wondered about that. In previous games, luck was an indicator of multiple little variables. In some games, it increases the frequency of positive events, the chances of finding rare items, the likelihood of critical hits and evasion, and other things only the game developers would know.
So, for luck to increase the chances of getting hit I do find a little strange, but it was something I started to suspect when Liara and Thyrra took more hits on average.
It also explains why Alexis was Castoth's punching bag in the final battle >.>

Well, I might rename it in a later update. But as far as tanking goes, make a character with high defense, HP and luck and you're set.

I beat the game again and I also beat the optional superboss. I cheesed the fight by first busting it's SP, something that can be done within a few rounds. Then I kept wailing on it and used my Miracle Lutes for extra damage output. It still toke over half an hour before the boss fell.
Other bosses could also be cheesed by first busting their SP pool so they can't use their more powerful moves. Maybe you should give bosses a way to refill their SP or make it much harder to drain them?
