Dragon Kingdoms VX Ace map plan, more screens
That’s my map plan for the first area of Dragon Kingdoms VX Ace. Regions are used to make it easier to transfer from map to map. I’ve reserved eight regions, two for each direction (one land, the other sea/air).
No, I didn’t use the wrong charset, he’s there somewhere.
See? Also, that sounds like it would hurt!

Last time (Part 70), we defeated Headless in the Underground World, and reached Hyrole Town.
How to transfer to another map without using many...
How to transfer to another map without using an event for every tile on the edges of the map or, doesn’t it get tiring pressing Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-V… If all your maps are the same size, say, 50x50, then all you need to do is call a Common Event when your character is at or near the edge of the map. If they vary, however, then it gets a bit more complicated. A catchall...
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #70
This ties the longest update at 66 images, and three updates have made it over 60 images.

Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #69
Last time, we finished Tyrant’s Peak and defeated Tyrano Rock. We also found Mt. Pleasant, a small town on the top of the mountain. It has a passage leading to another part of the Underground World, where the enemies are MUCH stronger- the real reason the level recommendations have ramped up from 37 to 44 so fast.
Are we ready?
Why, yes, it looks like we are!
Spells...
Testing out RPG Maker VX Ace
Let’s see how far this can go this time.
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #68
A few AttackUp-Xs later, and Corry’s attack power is up to 929, with Alex and Brien at 772.
Next time, we take a journey into the Underground World!

Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #66
Last time (Part 65), we explored Mt. Katas and defeated Katason, an annoying rock golem.
Next time, we pass through Tyrannia!
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #65
Next time, we have a forest to explore!
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #64
Happy Pi Day, everyone!
When we last saw the party (Part 63), they had just defeated the Blue Flame.
Two new enemies, the Gold Scorpion and the Gold Wolf.
Next time, we explore these mountains!
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #63
In Part 62, we explored the Ganwa Plateau, and found a monster. Is it the one?
In Part 64, we’ll explore this new area.
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #62
Looks like it’s time to head north. Perhaps there will be some answers on the Ganwa Plateau?
It’s a new enemy, the Blue Ghost!
Another new enemy, the Skull Knight. It’s actually weaker than Red Bone was.
Noticing a trend here? Ice spells don’t work on undead or ghosts.
Wings, as...
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #61
In Part 60, we escaped the Underground World after defeating Deawano.
The annoying Gigan Frogs return in Dragon Kingdoms II. Yes, they still attack twice in a turn.
The Grand Mummies are new enemies, and susceptible to Tremor.
Hmm, there was no monster in...
Around the community #4 and Dragon Kingdoms II...
It’s time to take a look around the community. Of the past! Back to 2005, when RPG Maker XP had just been released outside of Japan.

Now, we begin Part 5 of Dragon Kingdoms II and Part 60 of the playthrough.
TerraFist, learned at level 37, works well on these enemies. It also should have been TeraFist (Mega, Giga, Tera,...
Day of (relative) silence
Because one of my grandmas passed away Thursday at 6:30PM, there will be no Around the community #4 today.
(Around the community will dual with Playthrough Part #60 of Dragon Kingdoms II on Saturday, 3/10. All updates through 3/18 will be Playthrough updates.)
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #59
Last time (Part 58), we had just entered Centra Cave.
It looks like we will be starting Part 5 of the game and Part 60 of the playthrough next time!
Webcomic Wednesday 3!
Today’s a blast from the past. It’s when Thomas first met William (or so he thinks, there’s a plot twist here).
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #58
In Part 57, we defeated Doragan (3 times!) and built up the weaker party members’ levels by beating up Metal Oozes, a Metal Babble-like creature, that is prone to running away but gives high amounts of experience. Now, we go to Centrala Castle and Centra Cave.
We have a new enemy, the Gargoyle.
...
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #57
In Part 56, we were just beginning the raid on Doraga Castle.
Metal Oozes are worth a lot of EXP if you can defeat one.
They don’t hit very hard, so don’t worry about your HP too much.
However, you don’t hit them very hard, either.
You don’t need to hit them very hard, just hit them three times before they can escape.
When they...
Dragon Kingdoms II Playthrough #56
When we last saw Corry’s party (Part 55), they had just defeated Grass Rocke in Conaret Forest. Now, they enter Doragan City.
Liliths and FireBirds aren’t that bad, but Red Bones hit HARD, and have 666 HP.
So take Red Bones out fast, or else.
Red Bones resist Fire spells.
Looks...

Last time, we were about to enter the Conaret Forest.
Alex: I don’t think so. Bad guys always lose!
Next time, we enter Doraga Castle!
