You could boost up the size of enemy 'mini-formations' from those all-too-easy 2-3 monsters to, perhaps, 5 or more monsters, making your progress across the battlefield much harder (in theory). If you were able to edit the enemy units like BNC is talking about (from what I know of his last updates on the program), you could put in another 2 Zombies and another Hobgoblin near your party's starting position on the 'After Talking to Volcanon' Battle in the town, for example. Much of the easy nature of the game (on some settings) can come from the fact that the enemy is always spread out greatly on a battle map (Most of the time) and often you can move up and encounter them in small 2-3 monster groupings which you can EASILY trash with 12 characters and a bit of intelligent position/attacking. The idea of (someday) being able to add in enemy units would be great as you could enhance the difficulty in many battles without having to boost enemy stats quite so much (IE the Hardtype Hack, etc). You cannot, as of yet.replace those two Chaos Warriors with Necromancers (**I think they are the ones that have Freeze-4 and attack you on the Tower battle right after Odd Eye, and through to the end of the game, but forgive me if I've forgotten their exact name). So.for example.on the Odd Eye battle, you could replace the Chaos Warriors that are up near him with two additional Arch Demons. The one limitation I think he said that exists is that you cannot (as of yet) add FRESH monsters into the battles.just modify the positions/types/stats of existing ones. If I read correctly, BNC is saying that the current/latest release allows a person to actually modify different monsters into any of the battles in the game ? This sounds really cool and useful. It's just an odd choice to show ? which would be okay if the numbers only went to, say 125.so you knew it had to be between 100 and 125.but the way it is now, the variance can be enormous (100-200, IIRC).ДЄlso.I have been reading some stuff on BNC's Caravan program. It's just cool to look at a given monster or character and be like 'Oh, so and so has an attack of 's probably enough to kill off X-enemy or X-character in one hit now, so I should heal up right away - etc. In any case, you are right about the 3-digit thing not being entirely necessary.

I haven't done any hacking in a while, and I don't have the necessary save states, time, or desire to actually go back and remove the glitch from the 3 numbers patch again. But I didn't save those changes as a single 3 numbers patch (it's really BNC's patch to begin with, so it isn't mine to distribute anyways) I only saved it as part of my challenge mode hack.

I was able to remove this bug with the caravan, just by comparing the original rom to the patched rom in a hex editor and doing some guess-and-check to figure out which changes in the patched rom created the caravan bug (if I recall correctly, there are like two different major blocks of code that are edited by the patch, one of which corresponds to the caravan and the other to the 3 numbers hack). This made it possible to do things like delete the dry stone, for instance. It also made it so that when taking out items from the caravan, the item you got wasn't necessarily the item you had selected.

No matter what you stored there, every other item was a medical herb.

It appeared that there was a partial fix of the caravan repair bug in that patch, which caused the item storage in the caravan to be messed up.
