But there’s a catch, in the form of a curse.“ Upon a touch, The Sword shall burn to ashes,

Any living being of this World, Not of the Imperial Blood ”

The Crown Prince is scheduled to wield the Sword in the Crowning Ceremony,

…………However………..


The Assassination

The Crown Prince was killed in a duelby his Uncle The Black Duke.

Emperor.

The Princess, being the last survivor of the Imperial Family,Challenged the Duke to Trial at Court.

The Duke allowed her to grab the Sword, and made an oath that should she be able to wield it,

He will surrender and be Judge in the name of Justice.

The Princess, filled with vigor, trying to reach for the Sword….…… but was stopped by a servant of the Wise Emperor….

…Your Highness, You must not touch the Sword, for you are not of the Imperial Blood……

Key Narrative Exploration Point

Play Game of Throne amongst the Factions<= Someone Proved that seeing people massacring others for

Self-proclaimed Righteousness, and call it Politics, is a serious Entertainment.

Discover the Princess’ true identity<= It’s one of those kind of story that people seems to cared about,

Regardless of how shallow the Execution is. Nisekoi, anyone?

Find out about the Secrets in the History and Legend of the Land<= This Game is called Historica Fantasia for a Good Reason


FactionsGameplay


Faction Conflicts

I

S SR

In each Stages,

Units or Facilities that belong to a certain faction will appear as NPCs.

Depending on Player’s Allegiance to the Faction,They will either become

Player’s Ally, Enemy, or stay Neutral.Available Missions and Events will also change.

This will give variation & replay value to a Stage.


Faction Allegiance BenefitThe Faction will become Permanent Ally, while turning other Factions to Permanent Enemy

Enter the Faction’s Ending Route

The Faction will become Permanent Enemy

Most NPCs of the Faction will become Ally,Units from the Faction will require less CP to command

Obtain Faction’s Specific Items

Most NPCs of the Faction will become Enemy,Units from the Faction will require more CP to command

Most NPCs of the Faction will remain neutral until instigated


Actions that adjust Faction Allegiance

Complete Faction’s MissionUnit from the Faction Defeated an Enemy

Command a SquadSquad Captured a Building

Retreat from a CombatUnit from the Faction got DefeatedIgnore Faction’s Mission Request

Complete opposite Mission


Conflict of Interests Missions

IR

As a rule of thumb, Most mission will please a Faction, while pissing off another.

All of them must be accomplishable via Standard Gameplay Procedure.( Exploring, Combat., etc )

The Shrine on the Mountain is an Imperial Holy Ground,We need to Protect her from the Enemies!!!

( Captured the Shrine with Squad whose Leader is an Imperialist)( Gain a Magic Related Item )

What the Imperial thought was sacred Stones, are actually rare Ores,We can mine out the Ore to make new Weapons!

( Captured the Shrine with Squad whose Leader is an Revolutionist)( Gain a Technology Related Item )


Units for Prototype


Physical and MagicalAs discussed, we will minimize Façade Rules for as much as possible.

PhyAtk => PhyDef, MagAtk => MagDefIs mainly Façade. As such, we need to design a new Rule

Standard attacks that can get DodgedDamage can be reduce by Defense

Once Casted, Magical Damage Guaranteed a Hit & Ignore Defense

However, it can get Dispelled


Dispel Magic

5 505

60% MR

Similar to how Magic in Warhammer works,

Each Unit in a Squad will have a Magic Resistance (MR) attribute.

The Chance of Dispelling a Spell, is the combined MR value of the Units.
