Love and War is a tale taking place on the world of Terra. Ever since the birth of the first nation-state on this world, Terra has been wracked by the scourge of war. Five nations managed to survive throughout the ages, yet it seemed as though with each passing day, humanity slipped closer and closer to self-annihilation.

One man made a difference, however. The youthful Emperor of the Zion Empire, Geraud Valtemond, was this man. A brilliant, honorable, and benevolent monarch, he managed to open the eyes of the leaders of the other nations, showing them what lay ahead if Terra persisted down this road. Through diplomacy and sheer force of will, Lord Geraud created the Commonwealth; an international governing body, comprised of democratically elected representatives and Peacekeeping Forces, which would forever make war a thing of the past.

Three centuries have elapsed, and people have forgotten the lessons of the past. Tensions are rising between nations once again, and it seems as if the Commonwealth is powerless to do anything but watch as its order crumbles. Can one man make a difference, once again?

Welcome to Love and War.

Hello there RelM, many thanks for giving Love and War a go! There sure are a ton of RPG Maker games out there, so I'm glad you managed to find and enjoy Act I of LAW. :) To respond to your comments:

1. I do believe that's so! (But I've actually only played the first one. I really should get around to going through the whole series...

2. Interesting, interesting. Yeah, voices are definitely something people will have varying reactions to. That sound level issue was an unfortunate result of actors using what microphones they had, alas. If you can believe it, I actually boosted the audio levels for the soft sounds as much as I dared. C'est la vie...

3. That's not a bad idea, actually.

4. I rather wish Juno would have had his own battle sprites too, but I suppose that would have been a lot of additional (artistic) work to do. :(


Q1. Oh man, it sounds like a testing tool was somehow left in?! *buries face in hands* Just, uh... ignore her...

Q2. A plot branch allowing Lavie on board would be pretty interesting... but alas, it would kind of mess up what happens next, so no, she can only make that jump in fanfiction. :)



Thanks once again for playing Act I, and sharing your thoughts!

This calls for some major fan-fic featuring Lavie catching the ship, and the Sword of the Fallen Gods. I can see it already. =)

Hello there MKnance, and apologies for the delay - I've been away from my computer and the internet in general for a while. If you still need help:

There are a total of seven dogtags I believe, so with the one you just found, there are indeed two left! If you haven't explored the Royal Military Academy in Lorean, that might be a good place to check around, too. Hope that helps!
WOW. Impressive. These dialogs and voice acting taking game on whole new level. Acting is good ! I almost can feel like i am here in action of this game. Characters are live and expressing thoughts and emotions. I feel worried about what could happend next with their hidden thoughts. I like this game very much. This is unique experience - more people should voice acting like this in their own games.
Happy to hear that, X-Tech! Experimenting with voice acting does require a lot of work, so it may not be for everyone, but I'm glad I gave it a try. :)
Wow ! This game is great ! God work !

I need a bit of help with traking Koneday , i searched the mayor house , found the two chest , i talked to the police oficer , searched all houses in Alton ( well , searched the hole map , actualy ) , but no trace of this guy .
Where did him hide ?
Glad you're enjoying it so far, Adina. :) Well, if you're at the point where I think you are, you probably need more clues. I'd suggest:

Try searching the Mayor's bedroom again and after that, the bookshelf in his office.
Thanks , i Will do that . New i need to start a new game because i realized i did not go to ryan mother when the boys whent to Alton and I miss the dialogue wit the girl
What are the sequences for the chest that have the stone tokens ? I figured one but i need the others
I believe they are:
441, and 3773. The third one should be doable through trial and error. :)
Well , i figuerd that already .
Like i said , your game is very cool .

I have some question about some side quests .

1. About Posters . Where to put them all ?

2. When playing as Lavie , There is a kid in the village next to her grany house that wants to play hide and seek . I find him the first time , but where is him next ?

3. In the same village there is a girl mention to Lavie that she loked her purse into her daddy liquor cabinet . Is there any way to solve this

4 . Where are all dogtags ? Well, i did find 6 . . . but no 7 . . . so a list of places to know where i miss the 7 ?
Glad you've enjoyed it so far. :) Some answers:

1. They go on flat surfaces, in various towns. Hint: Lorean has three potential locations!

2. Try looking behind a tree to the north, near the water.

3. Maybe the bartender at the local pub might be able to help, if you talked to him enough?

4. Might be easier if you listed the ones you already found. :) (Did you successfully challenge Sir Prescott to a duel, for instance?
Yes , i beat the crap aut of Sir Prescott .
Is there a dogtag in Lorea Mine ?

And thanks for the answers!
Nicely done! And no, there's no dogtag in Lorea Mine. :)
I finaly found all dogtags . . . !!!
I have placed 3 poster in Lorean , 1 in Triden , 1 in Glendale .
Where the other 2 should go?
If in Davenport exactly where ? I have scouting the entire area and not a spot there . . . what i am missing ?
Great work! If you've found those five locations, then the sixth and last one is indeed in Davenport. Check the wall to the north-east, right next to the exit to the Royal Naval base. :)
So . . . only 6 poster ?
Then i miss one place in Lorean .
