So inform me if you have any corrections regarding this FAQ. This FAQ is under copyright law and any unauthorized copying or production will lead to severe punishment! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author's Note ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, of all the six countries, the following two countries may be the hardest but they can become extremely powerful countries. For example, playing as Norgard will require you to focus on defending as well as attacking but I myself found out that Norgard can give you the most LV 20 Rune Knights at the faster rate. I have added a new section for this, in a new section under Miscellaneous. For Leonia Well, Leonia is really hard to use to beat the game in Hard Mode. I have to retreat quite a lot of time. Well, I have managed jotted down all the ages and information about the characters. Anyway, I have beat the game again with New Almekia in Normal Mode and ended with the Leland's grave scenario. [you will see a picture of sword stucked to ground.]. Halley must encounter Cador or you will not see this sequence. The hidden story lines for New Alemkia will be thus revealed.... Plus I have found one more requirement for battle against Bulnoil. I have ended with the following LV 20 Rune Knight: Filo, Sophia, Kiloph, Lyonesse, Paternus, Asmit, Charlene and Isfas. For Norgard Hmm.. This time, I am playing once again as my favorite country, Norgard and I myself believed that it is much easier as you can get at least the following LV 20 Generals [include Vaynard, Guinglain, Luintail, Morholt, Kirkmond, Brangien, Palomides, Yvain, Roadbull, Zerafin]. But it takes time for your characters. [Scott] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This Document is Copyright 1999-2000 Scott Ong.

You can complete the game with 6 rulers. [well, one of them is hidden ^_^;]. Plus there is a lot of fun watching the raising of flags of different colours! First of all, I will introduce the rulers and their country's stats. RULERS' ATTRIBUTES and Countries ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Norgard [Blue] Name of Ruler: Vaynard Knights: 13 Domain: 6 Monsters: 44 Mana: 797 Norgard is actually the country that lies in the northern region of Forsena. Norgard is really a huge country but it is difficult to end. Once you start the game, Vaynard will summon all his knights and gathered for the meeting where they plan to rule Forsena once again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Almekia [Red] Name of Ruler: Lance Knights: 12 Domain: 6 Monsters: 31 Mana: 797 New Almekia is formerly known as Padstow. Padstow was formerly ruled by King Coel. Almekia was overthrown through the betrayal of Zemeckis and eventually Gereint along with Lance flees to Padstow. King Coel decides to help Lance by giving him an aiding guide, hence founding New Almekia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Caerleon [Green] Name of Ruler: Cai Knights: 8 Domain: 6 Monsters: 23 Mana: 797 The Magic Kingdom lies in the south eastern area of the continent. Great and powerful magician and not forgetting the Quiet Wise King of Caerleon, Cai and plus the Knight Master Dinadan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Iscalio [Yellow] Name of Ruler: Dryst Knights: 12 Domain: 6 Monsters: 33 Mana: 797 A country which is supposed to fortune... but due to its ruler. The parilament consists of clowns! Dryst have the dreams of dominating the world and was supported by Camden, Ulster and the girl whom he have saved, Iria. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Leonia [Light Green] Name of Ruler: Lyonesse Knights: 11 Domain: 6 Monsters: 26 Mana: 797 A country that is surrounded by natural barriers, where Queen Lyonesse wishes for peace in Forsena. However the country was involved in war due the declaration of war from Norgard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meaning of the Organize Phrase ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following implies to all rulers. I will firstly explain the meaning of the Organize phrase. During this period, you can move your knights to another castle [provided that you have a route] or wait and defend the original castle, sent your knights for quests, summoning monsters, place your troops in order or viewing the stats of your knights and monsters. Stats - allows you to view the statistics of the Rune Knights and Monsters. They covers information on the characters. Organize - Allows you to organize the characers and given the Organize screen: Order - change the Order of the Rune Knights and Monsters Class - change between classes for Rune Knights, promoting classes for monsters. Monster must achieve the minimum requirements before they can get promoted. Item - Allow you to use items to raise attributes. Certain items are meant for Rune Knights only. Equip - equip essential equipment for Rune Knights. Note that certain classes can only equip certain equipment. Name - Give your monsters a name. ^_^ Delete - Allows you to eliminate monsters. Move - Allows your characters to move to another castle. This is only applicable if roads are provided. Wait - Cancels the Move/Quest command Quest - Send Rune Knights on quest. There is no limit of the number of Rune Knights that you can send on quests. Summon - Allows you to summon monsters. This is only avaliable if Rune Knights are avaliable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stats: This option allows you to view the stats of your leaders or monsters based on the amount of HP, MP and their strength, intelligience, agility and their movement range. Note that you can also view the stats of your opponents too. If you press Circle, the second time, it will bring up the attack list and also includes magic. The third time, applies to characters will give you the character's information sheet, which includes their age and their past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Organize: Allows you to switch places of your monsters and moving monsters from your stocks. Take note of the amount of Rune Power the knight has or you will be able to exit this screen if it is exceeded. Pressing Circle will view the status of your knights or opponent. You can equipped weapons [Rune Knights only] or use items. You can also name your monsters or delete your monsters. The organize screen also allows you to have various options such as changing classes into other classes. Once monsters have proceed to the teritary classes, they can't be changed back to its original form. Characters, only the other hand can change from one class to another. Refer to the list of characters and monsters for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Move: Allows you to move leaders along with the monsters within their Rune Power from a castle to another castle [same coloured flag, and must provide a route]. Note that you can not move monsters that found in the stocks to another castle. You can have a wait command too, by selecting the same castle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wait: This cancels the "MOVE" command. Note that you can have as many Rune Knights stationed in the same particular castle. By the way, the calender is measured by month, so take note of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quest: Knights that went for quests do not return for while and takes about 3 months most. You will be unable to assign them to battles and attack enemies' castles. They are temporarily out of duty and will only return back to the castle where your ruler is. Sometimes, your knight may wounded during the process of the questing and may have attributes gained or new weapons. [More details on the Quests and Items sections.] Quest also nabs you high level monsters too. All knights can be sent for quests except for Rulers. Notes about Quests ==================== - You will see only the following pictures: 1) Picture of Woods 2) Picture of a Valley 3) Picture of a Road 4) Picture of a dark cave 5) Picture of a city street 6) Picture of a desert house 7) Picture of an island 8) Picture of a village 9) Picture of a magnificent house - applies to Rain (getting Ranguinus), Liguel, Castor, Miguel (The Rand Family) 10) Picture of a sword stabbed on the earth - Halley returns to Leland's grave where she says of a resemble of Cador and Leland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ As you are done with organizing your country, press the SELECT button and choose "EXCUTE" option and you see the "ATTACK" phrase. You can only attack adjacent castles only and take note of the following tips: 1. Once you have won the battle and all victorous knights will be occupying the castle. The wounded ones are sent back to main captial of your country, for example in the case of Norgard, Flogeru. They will be able to battle again after a month. So remember to sent someone to replace them and repulse any enemy's invasions. If the captial is being invaded, the wounded character will be placed at the castle with the highest income. Sometimes they are being sent back to castle where the ruler is. 2. Get your country in order, move your most powerful Rune Knights along with to-be-trained Knights such as Loufal and Lance to castles located at your bounderies. There are Rune Knights that are reaching the next class once they reach another level. 3. Note that if you managed to seal of those castles, there is no need for you to defend the castles located behind as the enemies could not reach it. Try and control as many castles as possible as it will be easier for you to launch an attack. Target your attacks on the key castles such as Orkney of the Esgares Empire. 4. Before attacking your enemies, take note of the status of the enemy's troops as it would be better to know your foe well before attacking them. 5. Always go with one best leader such as Dinadan and along with a couple of to-be-trained Rune Knights. Try to gain the EXPERT status and change their classes. As for characters such as Filo of Leonia, change her to Enchantress as she has already accquired EXPERT in cleric. Five levels up will gain a EXPERT in that class. Before moving around the cursor, press Circle will brings up the income screen. Domain - the number of domains that you have conquered. Knights - number of Rune Knights for the country. Monsters - number of monsters you have in your country. Mana - "cash" used in Brigandine. Required to summon monsters. Income - the total of the income from all acquired domains. Upkeep - total unkeep costs for maintaining monsters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In-battle information ------------------------------------------------------------------------ During battles, you can only send out the maximum of three troops of Rune Knights, so make sure that the Knights does not have only one monster in your Rune Area or you better retreat. The battle will only end if you have accquired the following conditions: 1. The enemies has retreated. This is normally known as Force Retreat. 2. You have succeeded in defeating them by have them used up all their HP and they will retreat. Normally, once you defeated one of the leader, there are 70% chance that they will retreat. 3. You have wounded the ruler [they are Vaynard, Lance, Lyoneese, Zemeckis, Cai, Dryst and Bulnoil] and the ENTIRE army will retreat. 4. This applies for defence only. If the enemies to do not attack your party or kill your generals in time. There will be a time limit and they will automatically retreat. This also applies to you too. This happens twice to me, at the battle of Lidney and Dilworth. 5. Turns are not in random. The higher levels the characters, they will have their turn first. If the character level up, the turn sequence will change. 6. Rants will automatically appear once they engaged in combat. For example you will see Lance and Zemeckis talk to each other before the combat begins. Certain rants takes quite a short time. Questing Knights too, have rants such as Layoneil and Helrato /Cortina and Zemeckis (sounds funny when Cortina at level 1 challenges a Level 27 Zemeckis.) Conditions for Game Over - If your country has been eliminated, all castles being conquered. - Snake of Chaos awakened.. Different time intervals for different level difficulties - Easy mode: 60 years, Calender: Month 2, 275 - Normal mode : 30 years, Calender: Month 2, 245 - Hard Mode : 15 years, Calender: Month 2, 230 Note: all of them are after the attack phrase. If you press SELECT button, you will see the following options appear on the top right hand corner of the battle screen. Condition - tells you about the combat status. Such as how many turns have been accumulated. End - Input "Wait" command for all characters. Auto - Computer does the battle for you. Save - Allows you to save the game. Option - Brings up the option screen. _____ / 3.0 \_________________________________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Battle Tips and Strategies xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Here are some battle tips and strategies for the game. If you have one, just sent me the strategy to kangning@mbox5.singnet.com.sg Battle Tips ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. As you viewed the status of the knights and monsters, you will find coloured orbs [black, white, red, green, white] and these are called elementals and they are important. These will determine the amount of damage done on your opponents. White units such as Gryhons and Unicorns will do a higher damage on black units such as Ghouls and Hellhounds. There are some monsters that does not have an elemental orb, such as Rocs. The number of these elementals are important. For example, a three red unit such as the Salamander will do massive amount of damage on a two blue unit such as Hydras. However, a monster with a mixture of elementals such as Gigas, a red and black elementals will not do much on the same Hydra. 2. Movement range is also important as it determines the amount of time that you required to set up your formation. Flying monsters such as Rocs, Wyverns and White Dragons has a longer movement range compared to heavy type monsters such as Hydras and Dragons. Move the heavy units first then the light ones [example: Unicorn] and finally, the flying monsters. Don't overlook terrains on the battlefield, this will sometimes affect the movement range. Unicorns will move slowly on mountains or forests [green patches]. Hydras on the other hand can not walk on mountains but moves faster on water. BTW, Hydras and water units can't cross mountains. This may applies to some light units such as Centaurs and Unicorns. 3. There are several monsters, that have long-range attacks such as Centaurs. This can done in further distance up to the maximum of 5 hexes. This attacks can NOT be counterattacked even the unit is normally able to do so. Examples are Hunter shot and Killer Shot. 4. At higher difficulty levels especially Normal and Hard, the enemies will remain in place and wait for you to approach them. There is a case that the computer trying to escape from battle which leads to time over, so it is advisble to have flying monsters such as Rocs. 5. At water-based battlefields, it's advisble that you have water- based units such as Hydras and Mermans as they could regenerate their HP due to their Aqua Recovery. 6. Do not overlook castles that have water surrounding them as they will allows you to summon marine forces such as Hydras and Mermans. Examples are Humber of Norgard and Lidney of Esgares. 7. When surrounded by enemies, use area-based attacks such as Holy Word, Geno-Flame, Geno-Frost to wipe them out. This will greatly weaken most of them within a turn. 8. Target your main attacks on Rune Knights as these will help you to conserve as many HP as possible. If the ruler of the country is there, concentrate on attacking him / her and this will force the ENTIRE army to retreat. Of course, I would concentrate on lower level rune knights than a Level 27 Zemeckis... Lyonesse and Lance are actually good targets ^_^; 9. Kill off healing parties such as Unicorns or Angels as they will help to regain lost HP and will create more trouble as you will have start all over again to kill the dying monster or leader. Also, protect your Unicorns from harm as this help to conserve more MP and use it affectively, cast only when the HP is low about 100+ 10. Cast Fog on low agile and red-elemental creatures such as Dragons as this will causes the monster to miss and aid in conserving HP. 11. When you are about to be defeated, try this method. Keep your monsters within the Rune Area of Rune Knight. Have them do the attacking first and then select the knight last and choose "RETREAT" 12. Cast Power on the Hydras and don't get shock if they does about 400+ HP damage to a Mage unit. 13. Having a hard time fighting against enemies at HARD difficulty mode? Here is a trick to lure them. Make use of low levels monsters such as Ghouls to force them to fight and the entire troop will move towards you just like in the EASY MODE. It will be better if the "sacrifice" is a flying-type such as Gryhons. 14. Always arrange your units within the Rune Area as the closer the monsters are to the Rune Knight, the harder that they wouldn't be able to capture. This makes Rune Knights such as Janfaddar of Caerleon quite a weak leader. 15. Centaurs have a couple of weak points too. They can't cross mountains and this applies to light units such as Unicorns. On the other hand, ground units such as Dragons, Giants can cross forests at a faster rate compared to others. Water units can move a lot faster compared while they are on ground. 16. You will gain the most EXP upon the final-attacks. [the enemy is being killed. Cador at Level 30 can earn you as much as 2893 Exp where I saw my LV 1 Prince Lance to reach LV 5! So always dealt the final blow for levelling up units. 17. Graphics glitch? Well, it seems to me a LV 1 ~3 Ghoul never hits a Wyvern. It is too low for it. BTW, I have seen a Vampire Lord misses two hits in a row when attacking a Lancer. If you stay in a spot for two times and get two criticals. I would recommend to stay there as there is a thing called graphics glitch in Brigandine. Remember to place Battle Animation ON under options menu or this will not work. 18. Enemies will alway attack an unit whose strength is lower than it/ hers/his. Just make sure that you have at least 2 Unicorns at the back row. Rocs/Mandrakes are a headaches as they could does devastating damage along with status effects. So get at least one Priest/Bishop/Cardinal along with 2 Unicorns. They are essential. 19. When arrange your units, assign the last spot to flying units. Heavy units such as Hydras must be placed in front of all units. Proceed in an orderly manner. If you haven't attack within 10 turns, your units will automatically retreat. If you win a battle, you will get a bonus 200 EXP. 20. Here is a quick level-up tip. Just cast Halo on a unit. Next have a Mage/Sorcerer/Druid/Dryst/Zemeckis cast a Power spell. Have that unit kill off an unit and you will be astonished by the EXP gain! S T R A T E G I E S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you have any strategies, feel free to send in yours. I would be very to happy to edit it and listed you in the credits section 1. Straight Line Defence This is apparently is the MOST affective strategy in Brigandine. Place those high-based HP monsters such as Dragons on the frontline knights behind the line. Arrange these monsters in a line and they would be able to aid each other. Have Unicorns as back support for Heal while the rest do the attacking. 2. V-Shaped Defense This is meant for defense purposes. Have your troops consists of Dragons or Hydras, arranging them and form a V-shaped and place Unicorns and Knights in the middle. This will enable to set your enemies' in cross-fires with these creatures' breath weapon such as Acid Breath. This method is more affective if the enemy use to send troops attacking from different directions. While defending Salisbury, I always uses an inverted V-shaped defense. 3. Golem Defense Golem may be rather weak due to their crappy hit rate but they are great defenders as they could protect your mages from harm. This strategies works well for those knights with low Rune Power. However, this is rather risky. Golems are great for fighting against Rocs as due to their Golem Attributes. Could easily cured with a heal spell. 4. Rocs and Centaur Defense This strategy is great. Place Rocs in the front row as due to their high HP and their petrifying ability. Place Centaurs behind the Rocs. Have your party consists of a mage, pirest and a scout or archer, place them at the back. Have aleast 2 Unicorns at the back. At the battlefield, concentrate your attacks on the Rune Knights and this should works, but do expect serious injuries. 5. Twin-Genos and a Area-Heal This strategy only works if you have the following: 1. Enchantresses Class 2. Bishop / Cardinal or the Phoneix 3. Mage Class Have high HP units such as Hydras and Dragons in the front row and the Rune Knights behind the line. If you use the Phoenix instead of the Bishop / Cardinal, place them at the back row. As you are surround, rip off your foe with twin-Genos and Heal all injuries will an area-heal. Works well for Leonia. 6. Hand-to-hand combat One strategy which I have discovered while playing Brigandine recently. You can make use of combat hand-to-hand units such as Fighter/Babarian/Ranger to be destructive. Just have they with a couple of Centuars as their units. Have they work with secondary class units/ or magic units such as Priest/Cleric/Mage/Enchantress. Archers are also good. Just try to weaken a strong monster and have Halo spell cast on the Rune Knights and they will level up fast and strong! 7. Modified Warriors Well, it is possible for the leaders to have a few exceptions compared to others. Examples are a Priest whom has the ability to cast Flame, Geno-Flame, Thunder and Power. It works well for characters such as Millia [Caerleon], Filo and Sophia [Leonia], Carlota and Brusom [New Alemkia], etc. You need to get at least an EXPERT status in the class. Example: BeauArte - LV 13 Bishop, *** Have him acquired 2 more levels, which will give him five stars or EXPERT in Bishop class. Next you can switch his classes to Mage. Generally Priest and Mage has similar requirements. Next give him 5 level up in Mage class. You will be able to switch to the Cardinal class along with additions of Flame, Power, Geno-Flame and Thunder. Plus the elements does not change! 8. Hit-and-Run For this to work, you need to get a Ninja [must get Shiraha to join you in order to have this unit.] Next have units such as Centaurs, [preferred High Centaurs], Rocs [or Phoenixs] plus a couple of swooping units such as Wyvern. Attack with Centaurs/High Centaurs first to lower the HP of a desired target. Next attack with the swooping units and lastly Rocs. Next sent a Ninja with its Shuriken Attack. _____ / 4.0 \________________________________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List of Quests xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note: Rulers cannot go on quests.

For alliance manners, if New Almekia defeat Norgard, you will not get any new leaders if you played as Caerleon. BTW, as for the question marks, I would like to ask you to help! ----------------- Special Notes! ----------------- - Miguel can persuade Liguel/Castor to join Iscalio once they met in combat! It have occured to me once while playing New Alemkia. - It seems that better Rune Knights can be gotten if you let enemies to defeat them. - To get Schutlesis, you must launch the first attack at Esgares. - To get Luintail, you must win the first combat (Norgard) only. - To get Lance to King Status, you must acquired Logres. As that's the place where the commodation of King took place. _____ / 5.0 \_________________________________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List of Classes xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Before I begin this section, I think there are several important things to take note of and here they are: 1. When a character gains a total of 5 stars for that particular class and they reached the EXPERT status, which will result all magic and skills permanently remain in them, no matter what class they have changed to. Even before you have change the class before reaching EXPERT, the stars will remain. This explains why a Priest unit can cast Mage's magic. 2. Note that you can only choose an one-way path. For example, a Mage can be promoted to a Druid or Sorcerer and you can only choose one of them and can't change back to former class and will not be able to the other class. 3. When you reach higher levels, and the maximum is Level 30 and you can advance to the secondary classes or the final classes, provided that you has attained an EXPERT in the lower classes. 4. Since that you can go up to Level 30, and each star requires a level and so it's rather a waste to remain in that particular class. For example, if you have reached Level 5, so that you can changed to a Cavalier/Berserker or a Sorcerer/Druid. 5. Rulers such as Cai, Vaynard, Zemeckis and Lyoneese cannot changed to any other classes except Prince Lance and Dryst. 6. Ninjas can't advance to Ninja Master unless Shiraha has did so. [ well you will not see any stars to prove the level.] For the case of Lance, you need to defeat the Esgares Empire and Lance will promote from Prince to King and he will acquire Geno-Flame in addition to his normal attributes. PS: Must accquired Logres. For the case of Dryst, you need to have Dryst reached Level 30 and he will declare himself as Super Tyrant and gain extra spells and boosted abilities. Now for the list of abbreviations used in this FAQ.

Most of Rune Knights started with the following classes. You can advance them further through gaining EXP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scout [*] Requirements: STR 55 and above Attacks: Short Bow, 2 hex. Twin Shot, 2 hex. [C] Elemental: Nil Class: Scouts The basic attacking class of the femine Rune Knights. Works like the Centaurs except no elements. Only powerful once obtained intermediate levels. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enchantress [*] Requirements: INT 60 and above Attacks: Slash Whip Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex. Elementals: 1 Blue Class: Enchantresses This unit is quite good for its arsenal of blue magic, which is great against red element monsters. Also, it is extremely weak against red element creatures. Enchantress have the similar requirements as Clerics and it's more offense in nature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cleric [*] Requirements: INT 60 and above Attacks: Pilgrim Rod Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex. Elementals: 1 White Class: Clerics This female unit is only healing unit in the primary class. I would rather place them in the back-court of the troops. They worked like Unicorns. Halo spell is quite good as it could double the EXP gain for the enemy being hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FEMALE SECONDARY CLASSES [Level 10+] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To get this unit from primary units, just go to Organise menu and select Class sub-menu. You need to gain the requirements stated at the corresponding classes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archer [**] Requirements: EXPERT Scout, Level 10+ Attacks: Middle Bow, 3 hex. Triple Shot, 3 hex. [C] Magic: Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex. Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex. Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex.

Unable to use after movement. Magic: Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Class: Lancers Spear Throw can't be used after movement. Lancers are quite good attackers. It has a long range attacks of a Centuar, plus Fog spells which is great against low agility monsters such as Dragons and Stone Golems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorceress [**] Requirements: EXPERT Enchantress, Level 10+ Attacks: Slash Whip Magic: Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex. Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex. Fall Berg, MPC: 135, 2 hex. Elementals: 1 Blue, 1 Black.

Elementals: 1 Blue, 1 White Class: Mystics Notes: This is an odd class, once change into a Mystic, you can no longer changes back to Enchantresses or Clerics Classes except for Scouts Class. The Mystic could only change to the Sage Class. Mystics is a combination of Enchantress and Clerics which provides white and blue element magic. Flight is a good spells when you are battling in mountainous regions such as Dilworth and water battlefields such as Lidney. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lector [**] Requirements: EXPERT Cleric, Level 10+ Attacks: Pilgrim Rod Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex. Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A] Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A] Elementals: 2 White Class: Clerics Quite a good support unit and it is a better Arch Angel with Area Heal. Lectors have low attacking power. Holy Word is extremely damaging plus a 4 hex. range against all enemies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FEMALE FINAL CLASSES [Level 20+] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Again, you will see "UP" appearing at the lower corner of the icon representing the unit. Of course, these units requires an intensive amount of EXP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Valkyrie [***] Requirements: EXPERT Lancer, Level 20 Attacks: Spear Mirage Spear [C] Spear Throw, 3 hex. Unable to use it after movement. Magic: Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A] Elementals: 2 White, 1 Blue Class: Lancer Valkyrie is really a strong unit with Holy Word and healing magic. But most Valkyries have low MP. This may cause a problems. In fact, Iria is one good example. They are extremely good attackers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Artemis [***] Requirements: EXPERT Archer, Level 20+ Attacks: Long Bow, 4 hex. Marvellous Shot, 4 hex. [C] Magic: Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex. Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex. Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex. Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex. Solid, MPC: 77, 3 hex. React, MPC: 126, 2 hex.

You must get Level 10 and above. A Ninja can be promoted to a Ninja Master. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MALE PRIMARY CLASSES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here you will find the list of male, primary classes. These units are typically the units that they start from. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Priest [*] Requirements: INT 60 and above Attack: Clergy Mace Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Elemental: 1 White Class: Priests The basic healing unit of male primary troops. Priests have aweful attacking power but it can be considered as an average support class. But the effect will be better when it has acquired the Bishop Class. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fighter [*] Requirements: STR 60 and above Attacks: Fighter Blade Power Strike [C] Elemental: Nil Class: Fighters I myself don't use Fighters quite often, but they can reached the Cavalier class with Heal magic. Fighters are quite good combat as they seldom misses attack. So have them deal the finishing blow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Barbarian [*] Requirements: STR 65 and above Attacks: Fury Axe Axe Rush [C] Elemental: Nil Class: Barbarians Barbarians have poweful attacks but they can't heal themselves. But once they reach the Berserker which has a regeneration of HP, this downside can be removed. Barbarians are strong attackers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ranger [*] Requirements: STR 55, AGI 60 Attacks: Brave Knuckle Crash Beat [C] Elemental: Nil Class: Rangers Ranger units are quite agile and strong in attacks, plus they seldom misses their attacks. Rangers have long movement range compared to Barbarians. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mage [*] Requirements: INT 60 Attacks: Sorcery Staff Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Elemental: 1 Red Class: Mages The only magic attacking class of the male units. Mages have weak attacks and it is better to keep them at the back area of units. Mages needed to be guarded. Power spell can be extremely dangerous when being cast on offensive troops such as Salamanders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECONDARY LEVEL CLASSES [Level 10+ Units] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Same as the female units, just get the unit to LV 10 and choose "Class" to switch to the secondary class. Secondary units have more attacks and stronger moves. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bishop [**] Requirements: EXPERT Priest Attacks: Clergy Mace Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A] Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex. Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex. Elemental: 2 White Class: Priests Bishops, in my opinion are the best support units [Cardinals will take a long time.]. Their Area Heal makes them destructive as it does an area effect healing on the entire area. Bishops are quite good as they have acquired Divine Ray and Halo spell. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cavalier [**] Requirements: EXPERT Fighter, EXPERT Barbarian Attacks: Knight Sword Cross Cutter [C] Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Elemental: 1 White Class: Armoured Knights Cavaliers are good attackers but they are quite weak as they can only combat hand-to-hand. But they can be dangerous once they have proceed to the third class, Paladin. Their attacks seldom misses even if their levels are low, hence making them the best units for finishing off dying units. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorcerer [**] Requirements: EXPERT Mage Attacks: Sorcery Staff Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex. Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Elemental: Blue-Red An advanced version of the Mage, but with additional spells such as Exa-Blast and blue magic. Well, a Sorcerer will works fine against most countries whereas Druid is extremely destructive for Leonia. As most of the units are white element based. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ninja [**] Requirements: Shiraha in your country, STR 60, AGI 70 Attacks: Kunai Illusion [C] Shuriken, 2 hex. able to use after movement. Skill: Hit and Away Magic: Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex. Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex. Elemental: Black, Green Class: Ninjas Ninjas are great units as they are able to use a 2 hex. range attack weapons. Even if he attacks in short range, it can also does a Hit and away tactic. Quite a decent sniper as the male version of Archers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monk [**] Requirements: EXPERT Priest Attacks: Debar Knuckle, may cause paralysis Prana Burst [C] Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Elemental: 1 white Class: Rangers Same as Cavaliers except this units have Cure spells. They could use Prana Burst quite often while their HP are low. The basic attack which could cause paralysis is extremely good. But it is quite rare. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Druid [**] Requirements: EXPERT Mage Attacks: Sorcery Staff Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex. Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Elemental: Red, Black Class: Mages Druid are great units against countries such as Leonia. Camden could nearly eliminate any characters in Leonia. Druids has a mixture of red magic such as the basic mage's spells along with black magic. It is a mixture of Demon and Mage [with an additional of Weakness spell] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Grappler [**] Requirements: EXPERT Ranger Attacks: Brave Knuckle Crash Beat [C] Skills: Critical + 5 % Elemental: Nil Class: Rangers One bad downfall for Grapplers is that it does not have magic. Almost all characters have at least 70 MP which is sufficient for a Heal magic. Grapplers are good units as it could travel across mountains. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Samurai [**] Requirements: EXPERT Barbarian, EXPERT Fighter [higher in DEF] Attacks: Katana Blade Shadow Moon [C] Special: Iai Slash, MPC: 40, 2 hex. Skills: Hit rate +10% Elemental: Nil Class: Samurais Deadly... compared to Cavaliers. It has higher defense, along with Iai Slash which can does a minimum damage of 100 for a LV 10 Samurai. But the weapons are quite rare compared to the Cavaliers. But if an unit can reach this class, choose this one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Berserker [**] Requirements: EXPERT Barbarian, EXPERT Fighter Attacks: Fury Axe Axe Rush [C] Skill: HP Recovery 5 % Elemental: 1 Black Class: Barbarian Another deadly unit. Berserkers work fine against white units [such as Angels, Unicorns, Priest and Clerics] but they can be a downfall as they only exceed in attacks. But armed with a good hit rate and a HP recovery of 5%, this unit can easily eliminate dying enemies in one blow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FINAL CLASS [Level 20+ Units] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Same applies to the female units, you will see an "UP" found near the character. But remember that it is kinda difficult to have all units to reach LV 20. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Avenger [***] Requirements: EXPERT Berserker Attacks: Knight Sword Genocide [C] Magic: Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Skill: HP Recovery 5 % Elemental: 2 Black Class: Armoured Knights Same as Berserker but gained black magic. Avenger are great units for their strong attacks. [BTW, their attacks are equalvent of a secondary monster unit.] Keep them away from Angels as the Divine Ray can easily kill this unit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paladin [***] Requirements: EXPERT Cavalier Attacks: Knight Sword Justice Cutter [C] Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A] Elemental: 2 White Class: Armoured Knights Paladin is better off compared to Avenger. Not only it has healing magic, it also acquires Holy Word and most Paladins can use this once they have reached LV 20. Good support units plus they does similar damage compared to monsters. However, Paladin is extremely hard to obtain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shogun [***] Requirements: EXPERT Samurai Attacks: Katana Blade Shadow Moon [C] Special: Iai Slash, MPC: 45, 3 hex. Skills: Hit + 20% Class: Samurais With a skill of Hit +20% and an Iai Slash of 3 hex, this unit is more devastating compared to Paladin or Avenger. [this probably explains why Layoneil is always stronger than Helrato ^_^]. With a cheap MP cost of 45, you can does at least 2 Iai Slashs in one combat at LV 20. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cardinal [***] Requirements: EXPERT Bishop Attacks: Clergy Mace Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A] Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Halo, MPC: 88, 4 hex. Divine Ray, MPC: 112, 2 hex. Holy Word, MPC: 183, 4 hex. [A] Flight, MPC: 90, 3 hex. Charm, MPC: 110, 2 hex. Elemental: 2 White, 1 Blue Class: Priests A better Bishop with Divine Ray and Holy Word. Cardinals are extremely difficult to get but they really worth it. Great leaders such as Ulster, BeauArte, Roadbull, Coel and Asmit has really the chance of getting to Cardinal. If you have defeat Esgares early, and you can recruit Solneil which is also a probably of getting to Cardinal Class. Of course, Solneil will be a better opinion as he has acquired high Rune Power. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Necromancer [***] Requirements: EXPERT Druid Attacks: Sorcery Staff Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex. Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. [A]{affect allies] Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex. Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex. Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Elemental: 2 Black, 1 Red Class: Mages Nothing much to say as it is dangerous. Necromancer takes time and only a few characters have the chance. It has most deadly black magic, Meteor Doom plus the Necro Rebirth. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guardian [***] Requirements: EXPERT Monk Attacks: Debar Knuckle, causes Paralysis Ultra Combo [C] Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Area Heal, MPC: 147, 2 hex. [A] Cure, MPC: 54, 4 hex. Elemental: 2 white Class: Rangers Guardian has been a combination of Monk and Bishops. This makes them a better opinion compared to Grappler. But they are quite hard to get as you need to gain a lot of experience. Guardians are great attackers and great support units. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Champion [***] Requirements: EXPERT Grappler Attacks: Brave Knuckle Ultra Combo [C] Skill: Critical Rate + 10% Elemental: Nil Class: Rangers Champion is rather a rare class, but if a skill of Critical rate of 10%, plus its versatile range in movement, Champion are great attackers. Champion can does a lot of damage and will not be effected by elementals. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ninja Master [***] Requirements: EXPERT Ninja Attacks: Kunai Illusion [C] Shuriken, 3 hex. able use after movement. Skills: Hit and Away Magic: Dimension, MPC: 88, 4 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Accel, MPC: 59, 3 hex. Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex. Paralyze, MPC: 77, 3 hex. Solid, MPC: 85, 3 hex. Silent, MPC: 56, 4 hex. Class: Ninjas Imagine a High Centuar-Ninja-Nightmare combination.. That's made a Ninja Master. It is extremely dangerous as it has acquire Accel spell which makes your troops move in order easily. Ninja Master is a deadly sniper as they can eliminate any leader within a couple of turns along with High Centuars/Archers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wizard [***] Requirements: EXPERT Sorcerer Attacks: Sorcery Staff Magic: Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Thunder, MPC: 91, 3 hex. Geno-Thunder, MPC: 193, 3 hex. [A, 2 hex.] Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] React, MPC: 126, 2 hex. Exa-Blast, MPC: 152, 2 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Frost, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Elementals: Red, Blue, Green Class: Mages Wizard unit is a better unit with an range of magic. The React spell is extremely useful if you want to see the rocking Salamander does its turn again. Plus it's Exa-Blast and Geno-Thunder makes it deadly. Zemeckis is much stronger due to its Archery ability along with the Geno-Thunder. Geno-Thunder is great as it allows you to set your targets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _____ / 5.4 \_________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Classes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This classes only applies to certain Rune Knights, or more specific, this applies to the ruler of the kingdom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prince ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements: Only Lance begin with this class. [New Almekia] Attack: Twin Blade Wing Slash [C] Magic: Heal, MPC: 65, 3 hex. Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Elementals: n/a Class: Prince Lance is quite weak and only acquires two magic, Flame and Heal.

A] Elementals: 2 Red Class: Emperor Zemeckis is really powerful as he has long range attacks, plus a 2 red elemental orb, which makes he compete with Hydras and blue elementals creatures farely.

Geno-Flame, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Elementals: 2 Black, Red Class: Death Knight Cador is not a guy to messed up with. The only class that can have an edge over this class is the Valkryie. [strange huh? Halley is also in the Valkryie class..]. Cador's Dolorous Stroke can causes as much as 400 against an Angel unit. [instant dead attack against low levels Angels.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tryant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirments: Only Dryst of Iscalio starts with this class. Attack: Vandal Scythe Dark Spiral [C] Magic: Curse, MPC: 108, 3 hex. Flame, MPC: 68, 3 hex. Power, MPC: 62, 4 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Elementals: 1 Black, 1 Red Class: Tryant.

Geno-Frost, MPC: 166, 3 hex. [A] Fog, MPC: 49, 4 hex. Elementals: 1 Blue Class: Lord The Lord class is quite weak and as it will withstand a huge damage while in combating against red element units such as Dragons and Giants. The best is to place this unit far from the combating area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Claimer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Requirements: Only Bulnoil starts off with this class. Attack: Endless Seeker Magic: Venom, MPC: 45, 3 hex. Meteor Doom, MPC: 255, 3 hex. Curse, MPC: 108, 2 hex. Dimension, MPC: 83, 4 hex. Weakness, MPC: 66, 4 hex. Necro Rebirth, MPC: 97, 1 hex.

He is very dangerous as he has Meteor Doom/Curse [works well against Lucifer], Geno-Thunder/Exa-Blast [works well against Tiamats], Fall Berg [works well against Salamanders, Fafnirs]. I guess it will takes sometime to defeat this unit. Bulnoil is extremely tough.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _____ / 6.0 \_________________________________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 6.

For your convience, I have arranged in order of their Rune Cost. ======================================================================== P R I M A R Y M O N S T E R U N I T S [Level 1+, *] ======================================================================== Primary units can be obtained from quests and summoning. Sometimes you can get them when someone has joined your country [For example, Dogal] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ghoul Elemental: 1 Black Attacks: Necro Eater Comments: Cheap and good attacker. Low Rune Cost makes it affective. An ideal monster which can be use to lure enemies. Level very fast. Medium MOV range. Rune Cost: 15 Mana: 60 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ G-Scorpion Elemental: 1 Red Attacks: Poison Tail, may poisoned the enemy Comments: Low HP is the main weakness. But Poison Tail can be dangerous as it cause poison [removes HP slowly]. This may forced healing parties to waste their MP on Cure. Low MOV range. Rune Cost: 20 Mana: 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jinn Elemental: Nil Special: Air Storm, MPC: 40, 2 hex. Comments: Does a fair amount of damage with Air Storm. Basic attack requires MP. Can't counterattack. The enemy can't counter even it is a hand-to-hand combat. Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pixie Elemental: 1 Green Attacks: Stick Tap Leave me be! [C] Magic: Protect, MPC: 61, 4 hex. Silent, MPC: 50, 4 hex. Comments: Good as prevent Mages from using magic by using Silent. Low attacking power make it useless in combat, but a good support team. Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Merman Elemental: 1 Blue Attacks: Splash Arch Skills: Aqua Recovery 5%, Aqua Attack + 20% Comments: Strictly an aquatic force. Does higher amount of damage in water and recovers HP in water. Moves more faster in water than on land. Rune Cost: 25 Mana: 120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lizard Man Elemental: 1 Blue Attacks: Lefty Axe, high hit and critical rate. Comments: High critical and hit rate makes this monster a valuble one. Good on marine battlefields and land. Rune Cost: 30 Mana: 140 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hellhound Elemental: 1 Black Attacks: Hell Fang Special: Hell Fire, MPC: 40, 2 hex. Skill: Hit and Away Comments: Levels up fast. Still can move after attacking. Use in conjuction with Halo spell. Rune Cost: 35 Mana: 140 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Centaur Elemental: 1 Green Attacks: Hunter Shot, 2 hex. useable after movement Comments: Good and decent sniper. Attacking from long range enables opponent to unable to counterattack, but low attacking power.

Rune Cost: 40 Mana: 220 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mandrake Elemental: 1 Green Attacks: Tentacle Snap, may causes Paralysis Comments: High HP for a good blocker, could paralyze opponent with it's Tentacle Snap, but low attacking power. Rune Cost: 35 Mana: 220 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clay Golem Elemental: Nil Attacks: Golem Punch Special: Golem Attributes Comments: High in defense, makes it a great blocker. But low AGI causes it to misses it's attack. Can't petrify, paralyzed, silent or poisoned. Note that when a Fog spell is being cast on it, it will be vulnerable. Rune Cost: 45 Mana: 240 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Giant Elemental: 1 Red Attacks: Power Fist Comments: Great attacker. Could do a serious damage to Enchantresses with a Power spell cast on it. Pretty weak hit rate. But it works against huge targets such as Dragons. Rune Cost: 60 Mana: 280 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gryhon Elemental: 1 White Attacks: Beak Attack Comments: High MOV range allows it to move fast and catches the escaping general. Decent attacking power but misses quite often against low lying creatures.

[A] Comments: Best swooping monster. Moves fast and has a high rate of petrifying monsters. Cry Bird causes random paralysis, but it also affect allies. Rune Cost: 70 Mana: 380 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dragon Elemental: 1 Red Attacks: Terrow Jaw Special: Acid Breath, MPC: 40, 3 hex.

Rune Cost: 75 Mana: 420 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hydra Elemental: 2 Blue Attacks: Freezing Spiral Special: Ice Breath, MPC: 45, 4 hex.

I have also included a list of data about the castles. There is a list of Rune Knights and the Rune Knights breakdown. ======================================================================== Vaynard: Norgard's Walkthrough ======================================================================== This Kingdom is situated in the north continent. The ruler, Vaynard begins with several good generals such as Guinglain, Yvain, Palomides and Brangien. This country has a powerful troop of dragons, therefore it is not a good one to mess with. The only problem with this country is that you may have trouble in defend your domain as there are a total of four castles to defend. Okay, here is the character's list in their respective castles at the beginning: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flogeru Vaynard Lord Brangien Archer Senadon -- -- Kardiff -- -- Humber Noie Cleric Kirkmond Sorcerer Dillard Grappler Jukes Guinglain Cavalier Yvain Cavalier Palomides Berserker Listinoise Roadbull Bishop Elaine Enchantress Alliryme Zerafin Mage Faticia Lancer Ector Fighter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C A S T L E S O F N O R G A R D ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Alliryme Income: 225 Summon List: Jinn, Unicorn, Clay Golem, Dragon Status: Prevent New Almekia's invasions from Gorule. Name of Castle: Kardiff Income: 196 Summon List: Ghoul, Giant, Wyvern. Status: An important castle. In hot soup, if this castle is occupied by an enemy. 5-castle path. Name of Castle: Senadon Income: 234 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Centaur, Unicorn, Roc Status: Another key castle in the northern terrain. 4-castle path. Name of Castle: Flogeru Income: 439 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Lizard Man, Hellhound, Giant, Wyvern, Dragon Status: Captial of Norgard. Valuble for northern conquests.

Name of Castle: Humber Income: 207 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Merman, Hellhound, Hydra. Status: This castle prevents invasions from Leonia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firstly, move your leaders well so that there are at least 3 Rune Knights guard a castle that are located at the borders. Defend your borders well and attack them slowly, about one at the time. At 215, 3rd month, Vaynard will head to Leonia and engage war with Leonia. After your first victory, Luintail will join you. Attack New Almekia until you reach Camelford. Morholt will join you at about 4th month of 215, if you are lucky enough, you will get Schutlesis to join your party. Attack Leonia, which is the weakest country in the game, keep on attacking just sending your best knights and you will be able to finish Leonia in a year. Station a decent force at Hadrian. Do some quests and hopefully can get more Rune Knights. Attack Lidney with marine force such as Hydras [Lidney has a high income of 300!] and this will greatly weaken Esgares. Attack Orkney to create more trouble. Now concentrate on finishing New Almekia. Take the castle of Camelford and advance to other cities until you reach BaydonHill. Now with enough manpower, advance on your attacks on Esgares. Hopefully that it is greatly weaken by other countries. Dealt the finishing blow and you be able to finish Esgares in a year of so. Now concentrate on quests, getting ex-Esgares Knights to your terrain. Soleil will join you if Schutlesis is on your side. Now advance your attacks on Iscalio and move with same party that have defeat Leonia, if not consider send in more reinforcements and finished off Iscalio. At last, down to the last country, Caerleon. Advance your attacks on Squests with marine force and from Asten, advance towards Hervey and capture Linnuis and Baynock. Caerleon will be greatly weaken as Kail is the lowest income castle in their country. Now dealt the finishing blow and you have succeeded in unify the entire continent. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R U N E K N I G H T S O F N O R G A R D ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Vaynard: Level 18 Lord, Rune Power: 332.

Lance may be weak, but in no time, you should be able to see the real power of Lance. He will become King with the addition of his original magic spells plus the Geno-Flame.

Set a decent troop at Camelford so that you can prevent any enemy invasion through Orkney or Eorsia. Start out by attacking Alliyrme and Kardiff. After the first month, Cai on the behalf of Caerleon will form an alliance. Now with sufficient support, launch repetitive attacks on Esgares. Intial assaults on Cador may be tough but do give up. As Coel says that whether he is should pay a visit to Officer Glauze, sent him for quest and this will recruit Glauze to your side. On the 9th month of 215, the lady whom has saved both Lance and Gereint will come and meet Prince Lance. She is searching for Bulnoil, the magician whom is responsible for all the chaos caused on the continent. During the first month of 216, Alsace will join Lance. Now start to attack Norgard, take Flogeru, an ideal castle for ruling the north continent. Then about somewhere around this year, Halley will join you. Now dealt the finishing blow on Norgard and this should be no problem. With Halley in your party, attack on Esgares [which is should be greatly weaken by Iscalio, Caerleon and Norgard]. This may take up to the maximum of 3 years. Now you will held the coronation at Logres and Prince Lance will be promoted to King and gain Geno-Flame. Now attack on Leonia, just send Meleagant, Gereint and a Mage will do the trick. Attack and dealt the finishing blow. Caerleon should be intensively with war against Iscalio and should be able to finish Iscalio in a year or so. At last, victory is yours. Note: You may need to occupied Logres. NOTE TO THOSE USING NEW ALMEKIA ------------------------------- Under ANY circumstances, do NOT attack CAERLEON. If you did so, you will introduce a strong foe, Cai and ths Knight Master, Dinadan. This will make life tough as you have to guard more castles and so don't ever try to fight Caerleon! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R U N E K N I G H T S O F N E W A L M E K I A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lance: Level 1 Prince.

After a year of so, Millia will talk to both Gush and Eloute about visit a friend which will recruit Lecarra by sending all 3 at time. Make sure you have enough manpower to cover all the castles at your border for the time being. You will be able to finish Iscalio and keep on attacking on Leonia and defeat this weak country and take Humber of Norgard. Hopefully that Esgares is great weaken by New Almekia and Norgard and give some aid to New Almekia. Capture key castles such as Kardiff and Senadon which will greatly weaken Norgard. New Almekia should have done a massive amount of damage on Norgard and Esgares. Finished off Vaynard with your troop and allowing New Almekia to defeat Esgares. If there is a need, remember to aid New Almekia and you will beat the game. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R U N E K N I G H T S O F C A E R L E O N ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cai: Level 22 Warlock, Rune Power: 319.

Age: 27 ======================================================================== Dryst: Iscalio Walkthrough ======================================================================== So you have decided to play the Man in Fancy Hat, Dryst. He is a Tryant and is tough cookie along with good warriors such as Iria, Ulster and Camden. This country is easy to defend [can seal off with only two castles], but still very difficult to attack. There is another problem, he loves gambling and he is rather stuborn in nature. Let's proceed to the list of castles and Rune Knights. ======================================================================== Name of Castle Name of Leader Occupation ======================================================================== Caelsent Dryst Tryant Iria Valkyrie Camden Druid Ulster Bishop Hula Cleric Lothian -- -- Bronceliande -- -- Letishnote Daffy Samurai Xanas Bagdemagus Berserker Gallo Rnager Victoria Sorceress Asten Miguel Cavalier Lucia Scout Teath Fighter ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C A S T L E S O F I S C A L I O ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Xanas Income: 236 Summon List: Pixie, Mandrake, Clay Golem, Dragon Status: Three castle path. This castle is the choke point for Iscalio. Prevent attacks from Esgares and Caerleon. Name of Castle: Asten Income: 203 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Giant Status: Another three-castle path. This castle is another choke point and prevent attacks from Leonia and Esgares. Name of Castle: Letishnote Income: 208 Summon List: Jinn, Merman, Unicorn, Giant Status: A two-castle path that leads to Xanas and Caelsent. Name of Castle: Bronceliande Income: 253 Summon List: Pixie, Hellhound, Mandrake, Demon Status: A two-castle path, that leads to Asten and Caelsent.

It is the core of Iscalio. Name of Castle: Lothian Income: 202 Summon list: Ghoul, Lizard Man, Hellhound, Hydra. Status: A backyard castle, no importance in geographical position. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firstly, take a strike at Hadrian at Leonia and attack with 2 parties. Stationed a party for each castle at Xanas and Hadrian. Just send Dryst, Camden and Iria to attack Leonia. Do take the castle of Humber yet as Norgard is huge country, more tougher with Vaynard and Guinglain. There is one bad thing for Iscalio, that is there is no Knight whom is going to join you freely, just like Millia of Caerleon. You can only obtained new Rune Knights through quests. With sufficient manpower, attempt to take Karnabone, Salisbury and Hervery. Have Camden and Ulster to attack Caerleon. Capturing Hervey will greatly decreases the income of Caerleon and attack Linnuis and Squest and you will be able to finish Caerleon. Now advance your attacks on New Almekia until, you have captured Phazard and invade Toria and Oltroute. Invading Toria will causing Esgares to split up and will make Norgard and New Alemkia to invade Esgares. So seize the opportunity and get Aldis on your side. As New Almekia's attention is drawn away, attack Calmary and Camelford and this will weaken New Almekia in addition of Norgard's attacks. With Norgard's attention being drawn to Esgares start attack Humber and take the castle of Jukes and Senadon. Dealt the finishing blow on Esgares and you will have no problem in defeating the other two. PS: Take note of the stupid war between Dryst and his partners after they have defeat all countries. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ R U N E K N I G H T S O F C A E R L E O N ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Bagdemagus: Level 16 Berserker.

This country is hardiest to use as Queen Lyoneese has only one Level 20 general and that's Paternus. The country may be weak but you can defend it well, but guarding the castles at it's borders [Damas and Hadrian]. There is another point, that is the only one castle that allows you to summon Dragons and that is Glume. [it also applies to Iscalio, which is Xanas] Okay let's proceed to the list and the castles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name of Castle Name of Leaders Occupation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tallas Lyonesse Queen Kiloph Barbarian Paternus Cardinal Asmit Bishop Damas: Isfas Monk Charlene Lancer Languebrog Cavalier Whislind Filo Cleric Sophia Cleric Kelilauns -- -- Glume -- -- Hadrian Chantail Mage Raizen Monk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ C A S T L E S O F L E O N I A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Name of Castle: Damas Income: 201 Summon List: G-Scorpion, Jinn, Centaur, Gryhon Status: Prevent Norgard invasions from the north Name of Castle: Whislind Income: 226 Summon List: Unicorn, Clay Golem, Giant, Roc Status: A castle in three-castle path.

At the fourth month, Lyoneese will meet Vaynard and engage enemies with Norgard. At about the next month, Galonwand and Baleen will joins you. This country is rather weak. Get Paternus, Isfas and Sophia or Filo and attack Asten, hopefully is lightly defend. As you have occupied Asten, attack down the row and advance to backyard castle with 2 parties, the other with Kiloph, Charlene and Lyonnese, while the rest at Damas. Has your troops consists of Roc and Centaurs. This may work on Hard and you should be able to defeat Iscalio for the most in five years time. Station a decent force at Xanas and Asten while the rest go for quest and hopefully you can get Rune Knights and Georg whom is an Ex-Leonia Knight. Continue and concentrate on training Lyoneese and get Hydras in your force [that's Lothian] and send them to Damas. With Hydras in your arsenal, you can defeat Humber [hopefully that Norgard is greatly weaken during that five years]. Attack and take the castle of Jukes and Senadon and you will create confusions for Norgard and it should be heavily wounded by Esgares and New Alemkia. Seize opportunities and dealt the finishing blow. After Norgard had been defeated, continue attack those castle in the south continent. Take Hervey and do not attack Baynock ! With sufficient manpower, start to attack New Almekia [about 5 years] and advance until you have reach BaydonHill. Now cover as many Esgares castles as possible and you will be to defeat Esgares.

There is so many and I won't be bother to write them down. They are found at the following address: http://www.cmgsccc.com ______ / 10.0 \________________________________________________________________ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Miscellaneous xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx These are observed in different difficulty levels. 1. The nations become smarter in their attacks and defense. They will not leave the key castles such as Camelford undefended and will only advance cautinously. 2. During battlefields, the enemies will stay in place and would not rushes forward towards your troops, unless you approach them OR they got attacked. 3. The snake of chaos' interval will be changed. 4. At hard diffculty mode, you can fight Bulnoil after defeating ALL countries, if you met the below requirements. He is rather tough as he has one of the most deadly spells plus Cador on his side. So be prepared for a tough fight. Once I have completed Hard mode using New Almekia, but Lance did change to King status and had Caerleon defeated Iscalio and it just ended the game! Well that's maybe that you can't fight Bulnoil ^_^. To fight Bulnoil, it's possible for you to have that Halley's sequence at her boyfriend's grave, which is quite late in game... I think you will be able FIGHT Bulnoil, if you defeated Esgares LAST in Hard Mode. Proof: - Bulnoil's class is known as Claimer [LV 30!], proved by gameshark. - It is possible if you had defeat Esgares Empire last. [remember the time where he always attacks the ruler after the fall of Esgares?] - Incidents: New Alemkia - Sequence after Halley decide to left. It is possible to combat him before Halley leaves you. - Upon defeating Esgares last - After the quest sequence, where Halley visits his boyfriend's grave. [this gives you additional sequence/ special ending, BTW, Halley must meet up with Cador in combat] (applies to after defeating Esgares) Norgard - Upon defeating Esgares last. - the attempt to assassinate Vaynard at Flogeru. Leonia - Upon defeating Esgares last - the attempt to assasinate Lyonesse at the hall of Damas. Caerleon - Upon defeating Esgares last - the attempt to kidnap Merriot by Cador. Merriot will stays wounded until you win a country. Iscalio - Upon defeating Esgares last - Bulnoils reveals Iria regarding her starring past. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.1 Bulnoil Information xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A man of endless desire. He is the person whom has instigate Zemeckis to betray King Henguist, Lance's father. At the battle of Lidney, he has stopped King Doremiditt, Brangien's father. As you defeat Esgares, he will appear and tries to kill the ruler. It seems to me that Cador will leave Zemeckis if Esgares is down to one castle. Bulnoil will fight you in the final battle, along with Cador on his side, so be prepared for a tough fight.... I myself have battle against Bulnoil when using Norgard and Iscalio. I have defeat the Hard mode with New Almekia and Caerleon but there is still no sign of fighting against Bulnoil. Leonia is nearly impossible.. Okay here is the completed steps to battle Bulnoil: 1) You must encountered all the necessary sequences (mentioned above) 2) The Ruler must reach LV 30. [I have check my previous saved game files where I have seen my LV 30 Vaynard and LV 30 Dryst (he has acquired Super Tryant!) and that's the reason while I fought him. No wondered Lance does not fight Bulnoil! 3) You must defeat all countries. 4) You must defeat Esgares last (?). If you defeat Esgares last, you can forget about the sequences mentioned above. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.2 Cador Information xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A man who is already dead and was ressurrected by Bulnoil. Cador's actual name is Leland, Halley's boyfriend. Halley has been searching for Bulnoil whom has killed her boyfriend. Towards the end, Halley will take the sword from Leland's grave and finally fight the last battle. Leland regains consicious and instigate Halley to break the mask ....... [applies if Halley meet Cador in combat] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.3 Special Rune Knights xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx NOTE: The following Rune Knights can't be recruited. Shred: Shred was in jail under the Main Castle until it was overtook, When the empire retook the castle he has no choice but to join the Empires army. Level 20 Champion. Equip: Ogre Knuckle. Rune Power: 160. Age: 34. More about Shred: I don't think that you can use him as Esgares. Shred was one of the generals that against the rebellion and was captured by Cador. Upon the fall of Logres [Cador left the country when it is under 3 castles], Shred will be released and hence joins the Empires replacing Cador as one of the top four generals. This information was sent by Frank Mantis. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Helrato: Level 20 Avenger, An one-eyed Avenger whom seeks revenge on Layoneil and has a mean sword. Equip: Tyrhung. Age: 32 Rune Power: 190 . Joins another country along with 2 Fenrirs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kazan: Level 15 Ninja. Fellow disciple of Shiraha. Joins another country after Shiraha joins you. Rune Power: 179. Age: 24 Join the other country with a Bronze Golem and a Dao. Equip: AntiMagic Ring. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.4 My Letter Box ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A new section delicated to those whom have been sending me mails about the FAQ, thus giving a lot of hints about the game. If you have any hints, strategies, questions, feel free to contact me at: E-Mail: kangning@mbox5.singnet.com.sg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STRATEGIES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All these letters has been heavily edited by me for gramatic errors and spelling errors, however the meaning still remains intact. 1. Useful stuff from Michael Lo (mlo@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca) ________________________________________________________________________ BRIGANDINE TIP I just started playing Brigandine and my choice is Leonia (didn't know that the country was the weakest of all). Starting off was really slow going because I got intimidated by high level Rune Knights and monsters like Dryst and his Bahamut (Iscalio), Vaynard and his White Dragon (Nogard) and Cai along with his pal, Dinadan (Caerleon). Seeing their 18+ levels had me retreating constantly. Levels of the monsters/Rune Knights alone does not matter that much, it was the stats that count. This sounds kinda basic but I found that even a low level monster can outfight a high level knight on the strength of good stats and numbers. LOW AGILITY MONSTERS TIP For Golems, avoid fighting monsters that have 30 or more agility points as they will miss most of the attacks. Halo increases the chance of hitting to 100% though besides the big experience bonus. This applies to other low agility monsters. KIDNAPPING MONSTERS 100% RATE I have discovered a way of kidnapping enemy monsters with a 100% success rate (so far as I've seen). I have managed to kidnapped the Vampire Lord form Esgares with a lowly Rune Knight while battling against Gish. I have also kidnapped an Archangel from Dindan and a Couatl from Roadbull and both times with Paternus. The key is to charm the enemy monster and then defeat it's commanding knight. This is great against enemies with lots of muscle but a little brain like that Vampire Lord (he has a high intelligence stats of 38). This lets weak knights to turn tables over the strong foes and you can get a good monster to boot. Use Fairies as they can mesemerize an opponent when they hit with the magic stick. ________________________________________________________________________ 2. Questions regarding Bulnoil ________________________________________________________________________ Well, in order to prevent too much e-mails flooding I could say that the method to fight Bulnoil is mentioned under Bulnoil's information. ________________________________________________________________________ If you have some valuable tip, e-mail me through the above address. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.5 M A P S xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is my first time, drawing maps using ASCII Art.

I have tried my best to answer when possible. Also don't ask me questions which answers can be found in the FAQ. First of all, read the following before sending an e-mail to Scott: - remember to add in "Brigandine" as your subject in the subject field of the e-mail. I have gotten countless e-mails for FF8 and it will help me if you classified it with the game titles. - Next state your question as clearly as possible. If I find the e-mail quite hard to understand, I really don't know how to help it. - Make sure that words are not in CAPS lock [capital letters], which is quite rude, anywhere it doesn't matter to me. But try to avoid it when necessary. Once I got really in a bad mood that I delete all e-mails that written in CAPS lock.. - If a question is too frequently asked, I will add it to the FAQ under frequently-asked section. - Don't expect me to give answers which can be found in the FAQ. Or it will be useless for me to type it out so concisely. - If you have problems in locating a shop/building, refer to the Maps section to settle out those problems. - BTW, unlike other FAQ writers, I have only one motive and that's to help you guys out there by writting the FAQ as concise as possible. [ in order to give the help that I could]. Well, the FAQ can be proved by judging the amount of e-mails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Most Frequently Asked Questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - READ THIS BEFORE SENDING AN E-MAIL. Well, I do accept complaints and comments for my FAQs. I would prefer complaints as it allows me to know what changes can be done for the FAQ. If you have a comments, free to drop an e-mail. [it helps to urge me on!] Q: Can I post the FAQ for your website? A: Sure as long as the following steps are followed: - the disclaimer, including my name and format of the document is not altered. - No changes should not be made to the FAQ. - No HTMLizing of document unless permission granted from the author, as this is same as editing the document. - If you link to GameFAQs, don't link it directly to the FAQ, instead link it to the Brigandine FAQ database at GameFAQs. Q: Where can I get the latest revisions of the FAQ? A: At GameFAQs. If you want your site to be added to the addresses where this FAQ can be gotten, you need to seek permission from me. Q: Can you sent me the FAQ? A: No. Otherwise, I would not have to post it to GameFAQs. Remember that this FAQ is a bit too huge to be posted via e-mail. Remember that you need to get the latest revisions yourself at GameFAQs. (http://www.gamefaqs.com) I know that some guys out there have problems in access to Internet due to personal reasons. But it can't be helped. Anyway, you can always count on a friend to get it for you. I felt quite sorry for WebTV users as they can access a maximum of 170 Kbs. Don't worry, I will try my best to keep this file small. Or I may spilt the FAQ in separate FAQs. Q: What other FAQs that you have written? A: Quite a lot, you can check it out at my Contributor page anyway. Q: Why you haven't answered my e-mail? A: There perhaps may be a few reasons: - school [I still got tons of assignments/projects/tests] - the answer can be found in the FAQ [if you haven't received the e-mail for two weeks]. I always check my e-mail during weekends/ holidays, unless I am really busy for that week. - Other things may coped up. Note that if you can't contact me, feel free to contact other FAQ writers for the particular game. But I will be free most of the time during school breaks. - I may be busying playing the game to uncover more secrets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 10.7 C R E D I T S xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1.
