Hack description

This mod aims to improve the gameplay of Destiny of an Emperor. Battles are designed to be more decisive, tipping in favor of the more powerful/smarter army much faster. Tactician heavy armies are designed to be more viable (and more necessary) over a long march. Difficulty is increased slightly, though several castle battles are designed to be rather nasty.

If there happens to be anyone reading this that has played one of my v1.x mods... this version offers a significantly different experience than any of those. I have meticulously retooled various game variables, in an effort to pace the game perfectly.

Because including a full changelog here would make for a needlessly long entry, you can read the readme (link above), or view a comprehensive changelog with screenshots at http://jeffludwig.com/doae/download.php.

I owe credits, appreciation, and kudos to many individuals for their work on Destiny of an Emperor, without whom the current iteration of Ludmeister's Remix would never have existed. See those credits at http://jeffludwig.com//doae/#doae-credits.

Not perfect, but deserves praise.	Old_gamer	2021-01-29	Version 3.0, rev.1
Ludmeister gives this a much more stylish makeover as portraits changed, items drop, tactics are new like Duel, names are fixed and a little more coherent story. The only issue I ran into was that you need save states to win. It's not that it's ridiculous in difficulty, though it does have challenge, it's that sometimes the game will sometimes glitch out during a battle. Reloading a save state does fix this an you can continue and the game is beatable. Still, I admire the work put into one of my favorite games growing up.

Played it, but still needs some tweakin'	sonic.penguin	2012-05-30	-
Certainly a great pioneer w/ the new hacks Lud, but some balance issues are greatly needed as tactic users tend to surpass the non-tactic users in terms of damage potential super fast and early. The unique officer tactics I found to be, overall, a fantastic idea and thus I ripped it off and put it into my Rise of Lu Bu mod which still needs to get posted here... Anyways, great stuff Lud. Looking forward to seeing what other damage you can do in terms of coding!
