Download Enemy Behavior/Stat/Type Changes ROM Hack

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

Secret of Mana -- Enemy Behavior/Stat/Type Changes v0.4 by hmsong This hack contains following patches. They are intended to be used together, but none of them depend on another (so you can use the only ones you want with no consequences). They all change normal monsters' characteristics, such as behavior, stats, or types. Notes: - I strongly suggest you to check out Queue's [Secret of Mana Turbo] hack compilation. It has all of my hacks (enhanced versions), as well as a LOT of others (some of which make the game significantly better). It even fixes most of the glitches and shortcomings that were present in the original game. And you can toggle which hacks to use (very user-friendly). It is by FAR the best SoM hack. - My hacks in Romhacking.net may be slightly different than the ones in Queue's Turbo hack. That's because my stand-alone hacks are unable to use lots of features that were available in the Turbo hack. - Queue's [Secret of Mana Turbo] forum: https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=27890.0 If the link dies, just google "Secret of Mana Turbo", and you should find it. If you have any questions or find errors, please PM me on Romhacking.net (click my name, then click my name next to "Forum Account", then click "Send PM"). You can also contact me on Queue's forum (address above). ================================================================================ Secret of Mana -- Enemy Behavior Changes v0.3 by hmsong ================================================================================ This hack changes the enemy behaviors in the following ways: - Increases the frequencies of spell usage. - Changes various HP requirements for spell-casting conditions (to prevent stupid AI actions -- looking at you, Wolf Lord). - Corrects various spell-targeting (to prevent hurting itself or buffing PCs).
