[FE4] Removed Bragi blood from the blood pool? #354

Open Enaluxeme opened 3 years ago

Enaluxeme commented 3 years ago

First off, good job on the 9.3, I can't wait to try it out!

However, could you explain more throughly what you mean with "due to having too many restrictions"?

Bragi was randomized before in my playthroughs and it seemed to work as intended. Will it now be given to Claude 100% of the time?

https://github.com/lushen124/Universal-FE-Randomizer/issues/194 is the issue that was opened that discussed this. This is talking specifically about shuffling blood instead of randomizing it. Randomizing it is still fine. Shuffling makes it so that everybody of one blood will move to the same new blood, so for example, you could shuffle around so that Od blood becomes Bragi. So anybody with Od blood (Ayra, Chulainn, and Shannan) will now have Bragi blood (still minor, minor, and major, respectively). If you look at the bloods that could be swapped with Bragi, Od and Baldr are the only ones that can safely. Swapping with the other ones will end with one of these:

Hezul - Eldigan (enemy boss, shouldn't have Valkyria) Njorun - Altena (flying - can't use staves) Dain - Arion (enemy boss, also flying) Neir - Lombard (enemy boss, shouldn't have Valkyria) Ulir - Andre (enemy boss, but otherwise ok) Fjalar - Arvis (enemy boss, shouldn't have Valkyria) Thrud - Reptor (enemy boss, shouldn't have Valkyria) Forseti - Musar (enemy boss, but otherwise ok) Naga - Julia (can't change without potentially softlocking the end) Loptous - Julius (for obvious reasons)

The main thing is that we don't allow enemy bosses to have Bragi blood. I think it primarily has to do with AI scripts being weird when given staves.

Missed that thread, sadly.

What's wrong with Eldigan having Valkyrie? He can't use it anyway. The only problem I see is that he becomes a lot easier to fight but it won't break anything. I'm playing a 9.2 file with Valkyrie Eldigan right now and I don't see any issues. The cross knights in Ch.1 are good enough to stop the attack on your base castle even without Eldigan.

Altena can use Valkyrie. Falcon knights have C in staves. It will just sit in her inventory until promotion but that's not a problem.

Andre never wields his house's holy weapon so Valkyrie can safely be given to Briggid and son. Same with Musar and Lewin.

That's 7 possible "slots" for Bragi, including Claude himself.

I think the issues have to do when combining this with another setting that buffs bosses to have major blood and their holy weapons. And it might also be due to the order these things are processed. I actually forgot Falcon Knights can use staves. I can look into re-enabling it, since it might have been an overly cautious restriction that I added in place to make sure enemies don't have weapons they shouldn't be able to use. The same reason why giving a unit a bow when they can't use bows will still let them counterattack at range with it. But staves probably don't have this issue?
