Download: Kaiou 7.3 Complete | Kaiou 7.3 Lite | Kaiou Popups version 3.2.0

When I first sat down and started working on this ol battle bot back in 1998/early 1999 I never dreamed that, over ten years later, I would still be working on patches/updates to it.  Yet here I am, and here’s version 7.3.

This version introduces a new battle order system.  While the old style was whoever could spam !enter first would go first, this order of who goes when in battle is now determined by the previously useless speed (eva) stat.   This is recalculated every turn, so if a player is able to enhance the speed, the order may change.

There’s a new status tech type: weight.  This will make the target too heavy to fly.  If the target is already in the air when the status is afflicted, it will cause the target to come crashing down into the ground and doing damage.

Finally, for the last major thing in this update, is the weather.  DMs (and above) can change the weather to better reflect what’s going on in the quests.  The weather will also enhance corresponding spells (“windy” weather will enhance wind-based spells, for example).

For the full changelog, keep reading.

It’s the year 2010 and what better way to celebrate the new decade than with a new Kaiou patch?  I present the Kaiou 7.2d patch.

This version fixes two bugs that Smz and I found and introduces a new tech type: raise.  The raise type will restore a fallen comrade to half his/her hp and stamina.  See the readme for how to add it and use it.
