Yes, I had to go through like a thousand lines of code and replace lines of text that were to be printed to the screen with lines of text assigned to a variable that was to be returned, formatted, and THEN printed to the screen.
Well, that's understandable for not adding anything else. However, the lack of Manticores, King Kraken, and Marutin are starting to make me want to always end a post with a frowny emoticon. I can do without pretty much anything else.. I just need new foes. =(
I'm reluctant to add any monsters without changing the AI, so I'm working on that now.

I wasn't really asking why it took eight hours, I already figured it was something like that. I just had that there as an expression for the rest of the sentence, not exactly a stand alone question. >_>

Hooray. This makes the urge for frowny emoticons go away kind of!

The new AI is in place. Try it out, specifically on Winter and Queen Kraken. Also Poseidon, if you like to die.

Poseidon, God of the Sea attacked Luke, dealing 361 points of damage.
Luke was killed!
Poseidon, God of the Sea attacked Natalia, dealing 119 points of damage.
Oh sweet Jesus, he attacks 3 times now?

More simply, it will use the same action for both moves in its turn, even if it changes targets during it.

I'd say it was a success.
And, if you would like, I reduce the number of actions these little people can take. Although currently all Winter Kraken does is cast Frost and Divert. >_>

I've noticed this too, and it boggles me. I'm trying to fix it right now and failing for some reason.
Also, por que Fimbulvinter?!
EDIT - I figured it out. It can take multiple actions now, but most of the time that will simply involve attacking.

(1) Fixing the aforementioned errors.
(2) Deriving a workaround for the Fimbulvinter error, as I have no idea what in God's name is causing that. (This may move down in priority depending on whether or not it's an easy fix.)
(3) Items.
(4) Monsters. (Now that the framework is in place.)
(5) Spells (though probably only those associated with monsters and new classes).
(6) Classes.

Seeing as how I seem to have caused this problem by creating Fimbulvintr, I'll try to offer a solution.
Fimbulvintr was part of the Norse end of the world, before Ragnarok (IIRC). It was three successive winters without any intervening summers. Fimbul is Old Norse for "the great/big", so Fimbulvintr is literally "The Great Big Winter".
So, in flavor, it would obviously be a powerful spell thrown out by Winterkeepers... And since it was 3 winters, my format for the damage would be:
(CASTER_MATK x 3) - DEFENDER_MDEF = DMG
Or however damage is applied regarding defense, but that's the basic idea.
May I suggest that the problem comes from the code for it being needlessly complicated? Or possibly a misspelling somewhere along the line? (I note this because I proposed the spell as Fimbulvintr, but you just spelled it Fimbulvinter. >_>)

You could, if you want. I don't guarantee I'll get to them, though, so I suggest you do so only if you're bored.
(I note this because I proposed the spell as Fimbulvintr, but you just spelled it Fimbulvinter. >_>)
I used the colloquial Danish spelling, which is Fimbulvinter, pronounced /fIm.bUl.'vIn.tA/, if I am not mistaken (though I probably am).
(CASTER_MATK x 3) - DEFENDER_MDEF = DMG
This is the formula I used.
May I suggest that the problem comes from the code for it being needlessly complicated?
Not possible. Void works perfectly and it's somewhere between 50 and 90 lines long.
Or possibly a misspelling somewhere along the line?
That's not quite possible:
(a) Fimbulvinter itself is executing.
(b) The code uses ID's to insert actions, then replaces these ID's with the spell name immediately before evaluation.
(a) means that (b) is working fine, which means that the only two spellings necessary are correlated perfectly.
The problem is that Fimbulvinter is weaseling its way into the turn queue out of nowhere for I don't know what reason, when it should never have been inserted in the first place.

Queen Kraken tried to cast Submerge, but the field is already under water!
Marshal's Mount attacked Queen Kraken, dealing 178 points of damage.
Wanda attacked Queen Kraken, dealing 248 points of damage.
Queen Kraken was killed!
Haha, these things are stupid as hell. <_<

Wikipedia says Fimbulvintr, Fimbulwinter, and Fimbulvetr. I chose the one I liked the most. >_>
For the rest... Wow, that's really weird. o_o

I ran it through my Danish-English dictionary when you told me and got no Fimbul- but got a -vinter, so I used that. Ar.

That's why I haven't fixed it yet. >_>
