I'm gonna jump back to the original for a second here.

Just unlocked Shamballa. There were a lot of rules going on in the text and my Japanese is meager at best. What was all the stuff about clearing the game? And are there any important rules about clearing floors?

[Snax]

I think in old shambala you took your entire roster and could not use characters once you had used then in a previous fight. The new shambala isnt like that though, your team of 8 or was it 9, its consistant for the 5 consecutive fights.

[Daverost]

Lovely. Anything else I should be aware of for the old one?

And thanks.

[Snax]

Just be careful in managing your troops, i guess? sometimes the final enemies need a specific hero to beat. like when i think level 6, with 6 montezumas with 999999 troops-ish. You have to constantly drain their orbs to win the match. Take Boomerang Inca girl and Palamedes, and 2 people to tank the front. Siegfried and anyone with high defense should do. These two tanks should be slow as fuck to not eat up turns though. The reason im telling you to make a 2 top is because montezuma will then use her 2 orb skill, allowing you faster draining.

Hahhh, finally finish this game on Very Hard. And judging from Ilednaroth post, the only cg and scen i'm missing is the blacksmith one

Took a break for the weekend for the FFXIV PS4 beta so I could play my old character again for a few days, but I'm back to the original E*S today.

I'm a lost cause with Shamballa here. I could make the problem go away with money, but I'm kind of worried that I'll goof it somewhere. I guess I just don't know how to approach it. With the exception of a few fights, most of the game has been very easy.

So as it is, most of the units that are older than... I dunno. Europe or so? They're in the 3000-3500 HP range. Clearly not enough when the first match of Shamballa is three units with 10000+.

So how do I approach this? How much HP should my units have? How should I use skills? Use small ones as they come up or hold off for the big ones? Should I make sure I'm using healers or screw it? I can't really find any good notes or guides on this because the game's... Well, I guess because it's not translated so there aren't many people interested in documenting it.

I'd appreciate if veterans of the original could throw some tips at me. I've got something like 5.2-5.4 mil I've been holding for endgame, but I just don't really know what to do with it without risking a bad setup.

[Snax]

I think I cleared the original shambala at the point where i had only the final boss fight left, with an average of 6500~7100 troops for every character. Its been so long so i dont remember that well. Anyway, you only really have to clear up to the 6th floor somewhat difficult-ish - take the hammer that increases money gain proportionally to number of troops defeated, and use it in the 6 montezumas with 9999999 troops stage, which will bring you a shitton of money. You can then probably increase your troops to the max with that money after farming 2 or 3 times.

[Daverost]

Thanks, it's good to have a number I can use as a guide.

I asked a few more things at HF, too, but I'm glad you responded here. It's not easy to get info on this game for some reason. I found one Shamballa video on the whole of the internet at NND and it was only for one fight. No Shamballa videos at YouTube that I could find. Maybe one Tumblr account.

Patch 1.03 is out, it fixes quite a number of bugs apparently.

edit: links aren't out in mirrors yet though

[Daverost]

And done. Thanks for the help, everybody!

[Snax]

Good job.

Now do it in GOLD.

[Snax]

1.03b is out. dunno if it fixed much, but don't update until you get the h-code (after all i didn't see much wrong in 1.03 vanilla.)

[Daverost]

Done. Thanks for the help everyone! Done with Eiyuu*Senki for a while. Enjoy Gold.

Nightmare, 33 turns in. Conquered EU and Africa now, moving onto russia. This is really hard with all the enemy troop sizes being so large.

[Snax]

So now i finished the game in NIGHTMARE.
Well, all i can say is conquering territories was harder than the final boss.

so I finally decided to give this a whirl, but after jumping through some hoops to get it patched up and install the interface patch, trying to run the game gives me a dos looking screen, which immediatly generates an error full of derp speak then crashes.

...I dont suppose this is a really common problem with an easy fix?

EDIT: and the game worked before installing the patch

[Tuvarkz]

So, I saw this and found out a character list. Ivan the Terrible and Illya, my brain might just have made a very disturbing connection. Cannot be unseen.

Try running the game in japanese locale.
