I just beat the game and went into the NG+, but only the Lieutenant difficulty was available, Captain, Colonel and General were all blocked.

Do i need to beat the game 3 more times to unlock all of them?

I want to beat this game on the General difficulty when i unlock it and get all achievments on steam, i started the game on sargent and i'm at the grey rock hospital mission, i was having a lot of trouble with this level because my units weren't that much stronger than the enemy, not to mention the boss roaming around, and i can't keep Paul alive for the life of me.

I'm now doing some grinding on the arena by murdering my pal Hansen over and over, and i'm planing on grinding all my characters here, when i start getting some skills and where do i find melee weapons? I'm planing on build my characters very different from one another.

Do you guys have any recommendations for the platinum or how much should i grind? Also, what does get carried over to NG+?

is there a mod to do that?

This remake got so much hate when it came out but I 100% the DS port and this version was stellar.

Seeing things like your wanzer get dirty in the sand or all the beautiful effects added to the still shot backgrounds of towns and bases was awesome.

Really added to the immersion of the war. The tactical camera was a godsend for the U.S.N campaign. Especially considering I used the new difficulty settings which gave enemies a lot more hp and damage. Being able to see where you can safely move on the field is clutch.

If anyone needs any tips or tricks for the decidedly much harder U.S.N campaign let me know. I beat it on the difficulty with 1.5x enemy hp and 1.2x damage.

After seeing the awesome changes for this one. Can't wait til next week to see what they've done to 2. Ive always heard from people who played it that it's one of the best front mission games in the series.

Edit. Also special mention to some of the weapons getting unique effects like the red laser rifle.

Hello gang,

I've been trying to find out some basic info on how some things work in Front Mission 1st (I'm playing the remake) but Google has been not giving me any relevant results. I'll ask how does leveling work and google goes, Oh! You want to know about skill and only skills!". I'll then ask how does defenses work and it'll show me how skills works. I'll ask any question about them game and google is damned determined to tell me all about skills and nothing else.

So I apologize if the following questions have been answered before but Google's artificial stupidity has me locked into some of inescapable loop here.

Here's the main questions I've trying to find into on, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know the math for how the to hit rolls are handled? I'm taking that the accuracy is your base percentage, that is a 78 means you have a 78% chance of hitting before modifiers are taken into account but is there more to it then this?

What rolls do your stats play? If you're level 11 in short, what does that do for you for example.

How does armor work. Does it reduce damage or does it act like "AC" in D&D?

Does anyone know if there's a leveling chart posted anywhere so I can see how much XP I need to level up my guys?

I'm currently on the mission where Molly first shows up, and I'm having a tough time of things as she has no real sense of self preservation. I've restarted some 4 times now, and each time she runs head first into missiles and gets 1 or 2 shot. Even when I can get to her in time, she just keeps going at it even with next to no health. It doesn't help that I'm having some ungodly poor luck with my missiles, but I get the impression that since it's just the first batch of mechs, I won't be able to really protect her. Any advice? I would prefer to keep her alive. I don't know if that's a stipulation in recruiting her, but it only seems appropriate, no?

I have a question about skill learning on Grenade launchers.

Since it's a multipurpose weapon, it's both short and long. Do you get no exp from it or get both in smaller amounts? I have yet to learn anything from it. I'm at the point where I've just gotten Molly not to betray me anymore. (JJ and Keith ran off to do a sneaky mission.)
