I think most of the lore is in the Pedia already, and possibly in 2 other files. I remember linking to them in one of my previous answers in this thread, just need to find post number.
In my opinion, there's a high chance that if an item has no lore entry, it doesn't exist. So if your imagination is active, go for it

Ah, thanks for pointing these it out to me, I missed them earlier! There's certainly lots of lore in here that's not in the 'pedia (though some is in the campaign for FFHII iirc), although not a whole lot of useful unit info, etc. Before I start moving info and messing with files though, in what form would be easiest for you to work with? Take for example, the Ratha entry.
I
think I prefer the chariot and war chariot entries.
As for the ratha entry-
Then, I can update the unit file reflecting that. So, as an example entry, should I give you the entire text file (attached), or just the text code regarding the specific entry (in this case, Ratha)?
Code:

Also, I was wondering about setting up online MP, but have had problems getting it to work.
Multiplayer works great actually
My friends and I play online using Hamachi, we have different PC hardware and operating systems but only suffer the occasional desync.
I tried installing Hamachi with a non-local friend and we got a private network up, but we don't see a hosted game in the lobby, and although direct IP connection seems to work, we get immediate OOS on turn 1. Mordax, would it be cool if you gave a
brief rundown on what settings/modules you use/avoid, and what method you use to connect? That'd be awesome
Got a couple more: Crossbowmen are not national units any longer and they really should be, else why even build arquebus?
And as for crossbowmen/arquebus, there are some subtle differences, most notably that arquebus completely ignore defence from walls, etc (iirc), but they also have a slightly higher base strength and range damage limit, are 75% the cost of crossbowmen, and lie along a different tech tree. That being said, crossbowmen can benefit from iron weapons and have several inherent defensive abilities, which makes them significantly stronger on defense, and basically on par on offense. I don't think there's a need for either to be a national unit, as they're basically your 'standard' endgame unit depending on techtree/playstyle.
