Enemy Behavior/Stat/Type ChangesDescription

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).


Others:

- Spectre	Freeze --> Dark Force
- Goblin	Cure Water (ally) --> Mud/Stone Saber (ally)
- Water Thug	Cure Water (ally) --> Acid Storm (1 enemy)
- Ice Thug	Ice Saber, Cure Water target = Self (if allies are around)
- Silktail	Acid Rain (1 enemy) --> Light Saber (self)
- Silktail	Cure Water (self) --> Burst (1 enemy)
- Silktail	Fireball --> Lucent Beam
- Howler	Speed Down (1 enemy) --> Lunar Boost (self)
- Werewolf	Cure Water target = Self (if allies are around)
- Tomato Man	Defender --> Lunar Boost
- Tomato Man	Various PC-buff spells --> Magic Absorb (1 enemy)
- Mystic Book	Air Blast --> Magic Absorb
- Kimono Wizard	Freeze --> Magic Absorb
- Ghost		Freeze --> Lucent Beam
- Beast Zombie	Acid Storm --> Lava Wave
- Beast Zombie	Speed Down (1 enemy) --> Lunar Boost (self)
- Ghoul		Speed Down (1 enemy) --> Lunar Boost (self)
- Metal Crab	Light Saber --> Thunder Saber
- Nitro Pumpkin	Renews into Pumpkin Bomb --> Nitro Pumpkin
- Turtlance	Light Saber --> Ice Saber
- Dark Ninja	Speed Down --> Balloon
- Dark Ninja	Flame Saber --> Thunder Saber
- Whimper	Earth Slide --> Lucent Beam
- Heck Hound	Spawns Howler --> Beast Zombie
- National Scar	Spawns Imp --> Gremlin
- Dark Stalker	Ice Saber --> Flame Saber
- Terminator	Lucent Beam (one enemy) --> Light Saber (self)

- Doom's Eye	Thunderbolt --> Dark Force
- Doom's Eye	HP Absorb --> Moon Saber
- Mana Beast	Lucent Beam --> Burst
- Blue Spike	Fireball --> Lucent Beam
- Thunder Gigas	Thunder Saber target = All enemies
- Hexas		Dispel --> Dark Force
- Buffy		Dispel Magic target = All enemies

* I was unable to change some stupid AI behaviors (such as Mech Rider 3
  reflecting buffs that was meant for itself onto you).

* This hack is intended to be used with [Enemy Type and Element Changes] and
  [Enemy Stat Changes], although it does not depend on them.


Applying Notes:

- Compatible with Relocalized and VWF.

- Compatible with the following spell-modifying hacks, but you need to apply
  the spell patches AFTER applying this "Enemy Behavior Changes" patch:
  - Spell Balance Overhaul
  - Dust Flare
  - Change Form - Pygmy-Moogle
  - Useful Lunar Magic
  - Herbal Boost
  - More Useful Evil Gate
  - Hellfire
  * I did not test the other spell hacks, but they are probably compatible.
