Battle Design Options

Okay, so we have a sort of reactive system, where enemies try to guess moves and play strategically (according to their type, more strategically as the game goes on). And we have a counterspell system. And we have an elements system:

Melee
Ranged
(Some things like ghosts are completely immune to both physical, and flying things are probably immune to melee and earth)
Fire
Water
Thunder
Ice
Earth
Air
Light
Dark
(At least)

There should also be all kinds of strategies for bosses, including some puzzle bosses. Ummm let's see... VX has TP, but I think you can turn it off, at least in ACE. Do we want TP system?

If you've got an idea, go with it. I want exciting and fresh, the sort of thing that draws people back into this project.

Middle paragraph, yes this is fine, although not for layer 1 of course (too low tech, since it's fantasy).

It's kinda sucky that we can't use 2k3 (guys said something about copyright), I found a number of plugins (some newly made). I figured out in fact a script that can write a short password to a a txt file, with an equivalent script in another engine you could read it. If someone can "translate" this code into a script, you could do the file storing and file checking (if it checks, it turns on a switch, which helps with new branches, and you can do stuff on each playthrough or transfer plotlines from game to game). It's sorta limited, you can't transfer stats this way, but you can do stuff like carrying a branch.

See if you can use this.

That, and Save Detector (if you can get it to translated somehow with the other engines).
