Well I've been working on the details of a Fire Emblem ROM Hack that would DF-izes Fire Emblem, instead of humans the main race would be Dwarves with the occasional human, elf, kobold, and other races appearing as friends, and foes.

Basic Story: (Will be Expanded)
The story will take a band of brave dwarves through Dragon Caves, Giant Spider Nests, Goblin Villages, through Human Fortresses, and sieges of Orcish camps as they attempt to find the one true mountain, Armok's Throne. They seek to save Dwarven kind from the Goblin Hordes, and Orcish Armies that have come forth from the frozen wastes of the south, to save their kind they will travel into the heart of the enemy's land, and back across the world into the depths of the Elven Forests to find Armok, and gain the means to save their kind.

Spoiler: New Races (click to show/hide)

 ((Still a WIP))
Elves - The oldest race that walks the world, they have all, but disappeared from the world as they fled back into the ancient forests they called their former homelands. Those that remain in this world are outcasts, and act as mercenaries, or great warriors for the armies that now head south to clash with the darkness that seeks to swallow the world. These elves that have remained have adopted a mix of human, and dwarven cultures as they cut the ties with their old gods. The elves are great marksman, and druids as they wield great powers that the other rivals the power of many.

Humans - Humans are the most prominent race upon the world as the old races begin to fall around them, the Dwarves hide in their Mountain Homes. Humans have a natural aptitude as cavalry, and swordsman with their great ambitions, and desire to strive on in even the worst conditions.

Spoiler: Classes (click to show/hide)

Tier: 0
Peasant - Can change to any other class (If I can mange that)

Tier: 1
Stone Guard - Axe Dwarf
Spear Dwarf - Name Pending
Hunter - Marks Dwarf

Tier: 4
Champion - One of the Highest Axe Dwarf/Spear Dwarf Classes (Can Use: Axe, Sword, Spear)

This is a work in progress, and may take some time to get finished, I have some 30 Missions (At least) planned for the Campaign, and that is not including the Side Missions/Stories that I like from what you may suggest. I can handle most of the work making the game myself, but what I really need help with would be Portrait Pictures, Sprites, and Map Tiles(Maybe) as my art skills are zero. Of course any suggestions on classes, races, or something else you guys want to give me would be a lot of help . I don't have a ton of stuff to say at the moment as this is mostly to gauge interest, and attract anyone who might want to help out with the sprite arts, and such.

I want to support this. It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.



I drew a FE-styled cutebold for someone. If you want it you can have it.

[Taricus]

Nice spritework The Fool.

Also, some suggested Class/race combinations

Kobold: Thief, Myrmidon, Archer.
Elf: Archer, Mage, Troubadour, Pegasus Knight, Shaman.
Dwarf: Fighter, Knight, Wyvern Rider.
Goblin: Mercenary, Thief, Myrmidon, Cavalier.

[adwarf]

Thanks to both of you, I actually planned for you to gain a cutebold in one of the missions, and that pictures perfect for what I was thinking for it. Also those race/class combinations look pretty good to me, I need to see the limits of what I can modify in the mod, so if I can't add classes I'll be going with something close to that class list

The Tutorial/ Prologue (No Real Tutorial Will Be Included In game, I'll put that in the OP for people who don't know how to play) will take place in the King's Mountain-home, Ironstone Peaks, as it is besieged by Kelak's Hordes (Kelak will be a vengeful God who is trying to take over the world, and destroy Armok's Throne thus cutting him off from the world), Numerous Enemies will continually come at you, and you'll be tasked with protecting the King for twenty-five turns.

Also here is the main character

Can I ask which Fire Emblem you're romhacking? There's quite a huge difference between them, given artstyles, stats, combat systems and animations, world size, and whathaveyou.

I'll be romhacking FE 7, I found a really good guide for messing with it along with all the materials I'll need to do just that.

[The Fool]

Sounds good. I'll be sure to make some FE dwarves since it might be hard to Frankenstein them together. It might be a while. I have a lot of studying to do.

Thats fine, every bit helps

[The Fool]

How is this?



It's intentionally shorter than the human sprites, but still taller than the children sprites.

I can recolor the armor easily enough. If the armor doesn't work I can work the head onto another piece of armor.

It looks pretty good
