Tactics Universe... here goes everything I have...!
Tactics Universe is an elaborate hack of Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword, casually referred to as just "Fire Emblem" in North America. The game hacks pretty much every concept that you could possibly think of--characters, classes, weapons, animations, graphics, maps, music, text, script, etc., you get the point. (IMG:http://www.feshrine.net/tactics/images/Background-Info.png) (IMG:http://www.feshrine.net/images/usa.gif) Siegfried's Story (7/02/09) [English] (IMG:http://www.feshrine.net/images/usa.gif) Kelik's & Anakin's Story Part 1 (1/17/10) (IMG:http://www.feshrine.net/images/usa.gif) Kelik's & Anakin's Story Finale (TBD) To start, I am Blazer... here's a few things about me-- - Webmaster/Administrator of the Fire Emblem Shrine - Creator of Prince of Durand & Tactics Universe, a 4 Year Fire Emblem Hacker - Creator of Fire Emblem Mugen - Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Fan :P Tactis Universe was originally just called the "Fire Emblem Universe Game". It started off as a forum hack for the Fire Emblem Universe forums where members created profiles for characters and the forum attempted to work together to create the game. Somehow I got involved in the mix and took on the leadership of the hacking. Soon enough just like every other forum hack, the forum hack was on the brink of death--most people considered it dead. At some point I took over and started getting progress, slowly but surely. I had already been involved in the Fire Emblem hacking business for a long time and I set high expectations for this hack. Bla bla bla, stuff happened, I stopped getting much of any support or anything besides a few people like Swordsalmon and Exxucus (and on occasion Myke, a spriter, Arch, and Memento Mori, some forum staff members). Later on I decided to just completely take over the game such that I would have little regard for the original characters so that I could get better progress. Bla bla bla, more stuff happened. I made a 4 chapter demo release a long time ago--well actually 5 chapters, from the Prologue of the game to Chapter 4. Last June this summer I released the game up to Chapter 10, the final chapter of Siegfried's mode (which is essentially equivalent to Lyn's mode). I made many fixes, updates, additions, etc. I think that's enough background info for now. I've generally kept Tactics Universe updated on Fire Emblem Universe and Youtube. I later posted it on the Fire Emblem Shrine, my own website, Fire Emblem New Dawn, a forum of a friend of mine, and ROMHacking.net, a ROMHacking website. As of the chapter 15 release I decided to post it on more forums. (IMG:http://www.feshrine.net/tactics/images/Plot.png) Introduction: Tactics Universe takes place on the continent of Elibe--the same continent where the stories of Fire Emblem: Sealed Sword and Fire Emblem [Blazing Sword] occur. Currently, Etruria is invading the land and taking over each region in a massive assault. The other kingdom's have been unable to stop their advance. Lycia is taken over for the most part, most of Sacae is dominated, the nomadic tribes are in turmoil, Ilia is conquered, and the empire of Bern is barely maintaining itself. However, one man begins a rebellion-- unfortunately his attempts are futile and he is forced to retreat and go into hiding. Along with his son, a young boy named Shon, the rebel Siegfried creates another rebellion; however, this time he forges new alliances and gains new comrades in an attempt to halt Etruria and help conquer their oppression. Reclaim the plains of Sacae and then continue the rebellion into the heart of Lycia... Find new friends, fight in new territories, and visit areas that the future heroes of the Blazing Sword are destined to meet in the spin-off hack called Tactics Universe!. ------------------------------ Anakin/Kelik's mode starts off with Anakin in Pherae. Very recently Siegfried was caught in a bad situation by the Etrurian General Howard. Many of the rebels scattered in order to preserve the rebellion a little bit. Some of them stayed at Caelin to fend off Howard and his soldiers. In chapter 8 of Siegfried's mode, the player meets Anakin, a motivational speaker who supports the rebellion. At the beginning of chapter 9, Anakin and two comrades of his, Ace and Eduardo, travel to Pherae by order of Siegfried. The game starts off here where Anakin is attempting to spread about word of the rebellion and gain support for the cause, when Kevin, a Knight who was in league with Siegfried, shows up to convey some news. In chapter 12, the game switches to Kelik, a young leader of a mercenary group called the Legend Mercenaries. Up until now, he has only discreetly attacked Etruria and fought against them. This includes minor raids and the such. His mercenary group is a small group consisting of only a few soldiers, all of which have a goal or ambition that they are working for--ultimately, however, the mercenaries have a dislike for Etruria. After the events of chapter 12, Anakin and Kelik meet together in chapter 13, then team up and cooperate in order to reconquer Caelin and save Siegfried. The game will continue as the Universe Rebellion, as it is called, fights against Etruria's tyranny. Unfortunately, there is more to the war than the rebellions could ever imagine...

Bump, all for the sake of justice!
Tactics Universe v2.5.9 Download- http://www.feshrine.net/hacking/downloads/...se%20v2.5.9.zip QUOTE (README) README
------- Contact info is in the contact. Patching instructions is in the file named so. If you need any help, contact the forums or me. ////////////////////// Current Version: 2.5.9 Release Date: September 15th, 2009 Creator: Fire Blazer This is a hack of Fire Emblem 7: Blazing Sword. In case you are new to this, Tactics Universe is a game originating from a website called Tactics Universe-- it is a forum hack, and thus the members of the forum create characters to replace characters in the original game. Custom events, cutscenes, maps, dialog, portraits, music, battles, stats, personalities, chapters, gaidens, graphics, almost everything-- all in one game. The current version is stated above. It goes from the Prologue to Chapter 10, featuring 11 Obligatory Chapters and 2 Gaiden Chapters for a total of 13 Chapters. Prepare yourself for the hack of a lifetime. Conquer your enemies, discuss the game with others, become inspired to hack, and most importantly, enjoy your adventure~ ----------------------- v2.5.9 September 26th, 2009 Several more bug fixes, but besides that, I've added recolored versions of portraits. These make the portraits and graphics as a whole look quite a bit better. Special thanks to Nayr is Pwn for doing so and really helping me out. He's also been helping behind-the-scenes with the chapters that are to come. Please support the hack by sharing it with others and responding to updates so I and the people who help can continue to make the hack a success! v2.5.7 September 20th, 2009 Right, so it was reported that the chapter 2 special house wasn't working AGAIN, so I fixed it again. I edited the title screent to spice it up a little (many thanks to Bonestorm/Rexstatic for supplying the image and helping me getting it inserted). I fixed Inanna's 'messed up' positioning in chapter 3 and secretly I've been doing a lot of work on the new chapters that you just can't play yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) v2.5.5 September 15th, 2009 Several minor bugfixes, fixed mercenary/fighter on same square issue in chapter 9, changed color scheme for basic menus (different shade of blue and replaced orange with red), inserted Siegfried's new and much better portrait, fixed Elysian Whip bug in chapter 3 (yes it works now), changed title screen background a little (until I can find a good custom background this will suffice). v2.5.2 (Date Undocumented) Minor bugfixes including an important chapter 2 village fix and other miscellaneous fixes. v2.5 July 2nd, 2009 Initial Release (see README for specifics) |

Added note to first post, as well as link to v2.5.9 since I forgot to do so earlier.
I've completed chapter 11 of Anakin's story, chapter 11 of Kelik is under way, maps for chapters 12 and 15 have been requested, maps for chapter 13 and 14 I already have, no new gameplay videos, at some point I'll make a playlist of Tactics Universe videos and post the link here. Not to mention a new, updated trailer. :\ - Blazer |

Latest version has more work done, and an empty song was replaced with Celica's Map Theme from FE2, With Mila's Divine Protection.
A video has been made to show it off: Watch With Mila's Divine Protection Music Video The video also shows off chapter 10 gameplay. Also various minor updates to be coming, especially to chapter 10, and if I get the chance I need to update the credits as well. Special thanks to Nayr for various graphics, formatting graphics, recolors, and other stuff. He's been a great help with the project. One of the 4 people who really do anything for it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Now if only I could get some replies like I used to get all the time... |

^That person would be Ada, and she still says that... or something like it... lol.
I didn't want to at first but eh... I just did it in the end. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) -------------------------------------------- BUMPDATE! CAUSE I CAN! New update with new fixes and new stuff (including music) and a new patch so you guys can enjoy it! Read the quote from the README for more information and go to the bottom to download.

The chapter 8 preparations glitch somehow came about again, so I had to fix it (again). A cavalier on chapter 9 was messed up as well and there were some minor problems all around that I fixed up. There are also several new great updates: - More/all portraits have been recolored to FE8 colors and now everything is standard and portraits are better as a whole (thanks to Nayr is Pwn) - New title screen thanks to Bonestorm. - New music for chapter 10- "With Mila's Divine Protection" has been added as the map theme music. - New custom Howard battle palette - Tougher enemies in chapter 10 with edited levels & inventories - New weapon called "Hero's Flare" which acts as a brave weapon and doubles consecutive hits. - Many background changes that can't be seen (for instance, chapter 11 is done, chapter 12 is under way, I repointed some stuff and have added more custom weapons but they just haven't appeared in the game yet) - Nothung has an edited icon now Special thanks again to Nayr is Pwn for help with portraits (many of which are inserted but the characters just haven't showed up in-game). As long as people keep on supporting and motivating me, I should be able to come out with a new patch by late December, including the game up to chapter 15.

SWEET JIMMINY CHRISTMAS, good work Blazer, you've done exceedingly well. Ican't wait to see the finished product.
I orignally had my doubts on how long this would last after seeing other forum hacks, but Blazer you take the cake, and the pie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |

You're doing great. Keep it up!
That's quite the stats Howard has, but Levion seems stronger. Gonna be wickedly fun. . . Edit: Just sayin' but doesn't, "Fighting me ensures your death. You have no chance to escape.", instead of 'You've no chance to escape' seems better? I mean, I'm just sayin'. Feel free to ignore my...suggestion if needed. (And yes, I am aware you + have = you've, but that just seemed...) This post has been edited by Itsuke: Nov 26 2009, 09:34 PM |

Lol thanks Dalsin. I haven't seen you in a while. So it's good to see you. Haha.
@Itsuke, I see what you mean, it does sound better. I originally thought that the use of the two words as opposed to a contractioN would fit Howard more but you win on that. Thanks for the suggestion. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) by the way, aside from scripts, I've finished chapters 12 AND 13. I'm going to insert some text, portrait(s), music, and maybe other stuff, and leave chapters 14 and 15 for for the next 3-4 weeks, then wrap it up and release a patch during Winter break (late December). Just telling you guys the plan and whatnot. Anyone care for chapter 13 screens and video? |
