Bad news is, I can't customize my party much in the NES version of the game. PC and Apple versions are better at that, but from my understanding PC version graphics are the absolute worst, and I'm just not emulating Apple.
Besides looking nice, the NES version should also be a tiny bit easier, which might be a benefit to someone newer to the franchise.
Found a guildmaster that can rename characters. So I made sure to have @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc 's Vincent as a badass Knight and @FailurePersonified 's George as a Wizard. (initially I wanted for George to be a Cleric, but my cleric is a lady).
On top of that, I made sure I had @igeljaeger as a Thief, @toast as the second Wizard and @theblessing as the Cleric.
@FailurePersonified @igeljaeger @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
Will do.
@FailurePersonified @igeljaeger @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
She even starts up with a Bless spell. (it's good against the undead).
@FailurePersonified @igeljaeger @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
Lol, I just trained Blessing to level 2. She's the first one to raise in level.
@FailurePersonified @igeljaeger @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
P.S. Interesting thing about leveling in Might and Magic 1 is that for each level, you age 1 year. Blessing has reached age of consent.
@endlessmike @igeljaeger @FailurePersonified @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
I wouldn't know about that... but M&M is supposed to have ways to grand eternal youth (sorta) to characters later on in the game. So no biggie.
@endlessmike @igeljaeger @FailurePersonified @canidaeportent@kiwifarms.cc @theblessing @toast
Well, technically I have some control over level up in M&M. So I can make sure all characters level up at the same time if I want to. Problem solved.
Here's a small sample of what a battle can be like.
