Unstable Tools

Not everything this mod unlocks is without drawbacks. Many of these tools were hidden due to technical problems or being plain difficult to use properly.

Do not fret, however! None of these will damage your game or save in any way, and any unintended behaviours I ensured behave the same regardless of the mod being active or not, so you can easily spot these! However, if you wish to use every tool to their fullest, it's important to know what limitations these involve...

Units

Garrison

Opening the Unit Info screen while this unit is present on the map will cause errors, and will return the player to the Main Menu if they open it. This will not affect a match, so you can simply rejoin, but it will leave the Unit Info screen inoperable. The errors only occur if you open the Unit Info screen of the Garrison unit itself, or any unit deemed "Effective" aginst or "Vulnerable" to it.

Ghost

Cannot move, attack, or perform any actions. Lacks most animations, including death animations. Has no Unit Info screen. Its colour will not show its Player alignment (however you can see it as the background colour of their corner icon).

Errol and Orla units

Not to be confused with the unit Errol & Orla (AKA "Twins")

Neither one can move, attack, or groove. Will appear similar to Errol & Orla on the map but has a unique corner icon. Has no Unit Info screen. They are both functionally useless as units.

Vesper (Boss)

Identical to normal Vesper, but missing text and Codex shortcut in the Unit Info screen. Will display as "Vesper (Boss)" on player card when the Commander.

Soldiers, Soldiers 2, and Thief

A commander-only setting (no unique unit). Will use unusual and inconsistent portraits during combat scenes (e.g. switching from Heavensong Soldier to Felheim Villager during combat sequences), and displays as their respective name on the player card.

Terrain

Volcano

Tile looks identical to Plains and is indistinquishably invisible, but carries similar properties to Wall.

Appears black on map minimaps.

Sky

Tile behaves as Plains, but has broken graphics, appearing to be similar to the background pattern of the map.

Appears similar to Plains on map minimaps.

Sound and Music

Some tracks are very short and do not loop even when used as background music. These include:

  • Victory!
  • Defeat!
  • Opening Groove

Events and Triggers

Button location highlights

Graphic is platform-dependent, showing different controls. The variants are listed below:

  • PC / Steam
  • Playstation
  • Switch (Joycon)
  • Switch (Controller)
  • Xbox

Groove Cutscene

Event does not have an appropriate entry for Errol & Orla, and will display #MISSING# when used.

All other unusual commanders (including 'Errol' and 'Orla') have no assigned grooves and are therefore #MISSING#.

Stars conditions

Checks based on the player's achieved Stars, which cannot be awarded in custom content, and are tied to their progress in the official Campaign Arcade, and Puzzle modes.

Dialogue

When the mod is disabled, returning to edit any event using a hidden Dialogue Portrait (e.g. "Soldiers 2"), it will instantly revert back to Mercia.
