You guys can thank CDM for the sudden inspiration. I did what, now? ...I guess I'll probably know it when I see it. Anyway, I'll probably be caught up by the end of the weekend, so I've gotta ask if there was a recent status update. If not, I want to go ahead and put in the request since I know it takes forever to do. I'm just looking for character name, class, any frequent nicknames (Lazzy, The Dancerkete, etc), and support levels. I was having a really, really bad bout of WB, and one of your posts in SoS gave me the inspiration to keep going. It helped me more than I can say. Also, there hasn't been a full status update in a long while, so I'll start working on that and post it here when I'm finished.

Compiling all the supports is taking even longer than expected(Largely due to the highly inefficient and poorly thought out way of managing supports I've been using 5ever), so I'll split the full update into two sections. The first will be basic info(Excluding stats and skills, as that would take 10 years), and the second half will be the list of current support levels. I'll continue posting status updates for stats and skills as they are needed in story.

Sometimes I wish I had your knowledge of military ranks. I think I only have General, Commander, Fleet Admiral, Captain(Mostly), and Rear Admiral down... And I don't believe those were added until we started organizing our armies for real as the time periods changed.
Anyway, now I can actually keep a list of characters to know about.

You know you can just Google the ranks, right Fen-Fen? Most of them are modern and give vague descriptions of what they do. I'm trying to use them more in my story, but medieval times really don't have organized armies. I'm not looking for pay, but if you could recommend one site, that would be nice.

I don't know where you heard otherwise, but there were definitely organized armies in medieval times. And most of the ranks have the same purpose as back then. Here, try this for starters. Mind you, this is only for the US military. www.militaryfactory.com/ranks/www.defense.gov/about/insignias/Also try Military.com for general info. Unfortunately, because you're a civ, I can't give you any of the sites I use, but these should do fine.

I was under that impression when I did a wide search earlier on a forum and someone mentioned it. Goes to show you to not believe everything you see and read. Thanks.

UB is back, yah. I'll be posting again soon, yah. But don't worry. Lorebumps will still be a thing, along with Charbumps and Infobumps. But first, lemme explain some changes I've made. 1) I've changed the caps and growths of a few classes, most notably Trail's Fell Dragon(3rd tier Dark Manakete) class. I realized there is way too long of a gap between Trail getting his Emperor class and him getting his next unique class, which is Earth Dragon. In order to prevent his growth from being locked, I've buffed his Fell Dragon class to compensate. I've also buffed the 3rd tier classes in general, and some of the unique classes, cause I realized how underwhelming they were for being max tier. I'll list the most drastic changes here, and any others as they become relevant in the story. Unique Classes(Fell Dragon) Caps: HP:120 Str:90 Mag:65 Skill:80 Spd:60 Luck:100 Def:100 Res:75 Growths: HP:180% Str:90% Mag:40% Skill:60% Spd:55% Luck:60% Def:110% Res:65% (Queen) Caps: HP:80 Str:42 Mag:48 Skill:45 Spd:45 Luck:40 Def:38 Res:47 Growths: HP:80% Str:50% Mag:65% Skill:70% Spd:70% Luck:40% Def:45% Res:60% (Celestial, *New* 3rd tier promotion of Queen) Caps: HP:120 Str:60 Mag:80 Skill:70 Spd:70 Luck:100 Def:60 Res:110 Growths: HP:110% Str:60% Mag:90% Skill:80% Spd:80% Luck:45% Def:55% Res:170% (Overlord, Special Promotion of Emperor) Caps: HP:150 Str:100 Mag:70 Skill:80 Spd:80 Luck:100 Def:120 Res:90 Growths: HP:100% Str:90% Mag:40% Skill:65% Spd:55% Luck:55% Def:180% Res:60% (Overseer,Special Promotion of Empress) Caps: HP:150 Str:70 Mag:120 Skill:90 Spd:90 Luck:100 Def:70 Res:100 Growths: HP:80% Str:60% Mag:150% Skill:70% Spd:90% Luck:55% Def:60% Res:90% (Divine Pontiff, *New* Unique Class) Caps: HP:120 Str:50 Mag:150 Skill:90 Spd:90 Luck:100 Def:60 Res:130 Growths: HP:55% Str:20% Mag:180% Skill:80% Spd:80% Luck:70% Def:40% Res:120% Normal Classes(Marshal) Caps: HP:100 Str:80 Mag:50 Skill:70 Spd:55 Luck:100 Def:90 Res:65 Growths: HP:100% Str:80% Mag:10% Skill:65% Spd:30% Luck:50% Def:85% Res:60% (Grand Vizier) Caps: HP:100 Str:50 Mag:100 Skill:60 Spd:55 Luck:100 Def:80 Res:70 Growths: HP:80% Str:20% Mag:90% Skill:55% Spd:50% Luck:40% Def:65% Res:60% AvailabilityFell Dragon(Trail, Grima, Loptyr, Medeus, Doma, Bahamut, Trail's children) Oueen(Thorn, Kanis, Leah, Thorn's female children, Kanis's female children) Celestial(Thorn, Kanis, Leah, Thorn's female children, Kanis's female children) Emperor(Trail, Lazareth, Trail's male children, Lazareth's male children) Overlord(Trail, Lazareth, Trail's male children, Lazareth's male children) Empress(Kanis, Leah, Kanis's female children) Overseer(Kanis, Leah, Kanis's female children) Divine Pontiff(Leah, Leah's children) This is only listing the availability of the aforementioned unique classes, because some things have changed. 2) Story I've redone about 90% of Book 3. Another reason why UB has been on hiatus. Of course, this involves spoilers, but since only Dragunov really knows anything about Book 3(And he's on a different planet), you guys probably won't know any better. The Nordic Gods will be playing a lesser role now, and I've completely scrapped the mechanic of Nordic God VS Culture Leader battles. 3) Gameplay I've completely scrapped the Morale Gauge, because it wasn't much use and only made planning battles more complicated for me. I've also changed the way my RNG works a bit and buffed a few types of enemies, so battles may be a bit more dangerous now. The Growth Rates system has been changed. Now, all characters will have their Base Growth Rates(BGR) determined by their class. A Character's Individual Growth Rates(IGR) will then effect the base rates, but only minimally. For example, if Trail is in the Overlord class, his BGR will be as shown above. But his IGR is +10% HP, +10% Str, -5% Mag, +5% Skill, +5% Spd, -5% Luck, +10% Def, and +5% Res. Those values will then be applied to the class Growths of Overlord, I.E his BGR. This is a much simpler, and more balanced system than I was using previously. However, it will mean some characters don't level up as well, while others(Like NINA for example) will have much, much better level ups. 4) Soundtrack Ephidel's theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUyewgvQm1II think that's everything. If anything else changes, or I forgot something, I'll post it here.

So, at the risk of sounding like an utterly incompetent ass, does anyone remember exactly how old Gallagher is? It's been a long time since I've written for him, and I can't find some of my notebooks with my character info in it. I'm pretty sure he's 42, but I don't remember for sure.

Wanna hear something funny? I originally planned to give you guys a shot at fighting the Lava Serpent; a very big, giant red snake that lives deep in the lava. Yes, I know. Just like the name says. Anyway, he drops a very nice item that would really come in handy, and it would be a really fun fight. The only problem? Mr big red snaky is an Epic Monster. And you have TUE in the party. A little mechanic that I completely forgot about. Oh well. I feel bad now, so I'll give you guys a mini camp soon and a shot at earning a free random item to make it up to you. So, pick a number between 1 and 385. One number per person. Also, I found my character book with all the ages of my characters! So now I have to go edit some stuff in the Archives topic.

Watch someone end up choosing a OP Dragonstone, by some astronomically lucky chance. I'll leave the number poll thing open for a couple hours, then I'll use Mr RNG to decide the winner.
