Guide to Warsong ROM Data ~v2.0 by Amuseum
My website Warsong Amuseum can be found at
http://www.hostinganime.com/amuseum/warsong/warsong.php
Changes:
4/19/04: Found addresses for promotion, troops you can buy, gold
per kill, and flag for immunity.
Introduction
I scrounged inside the Warsong ROM and I came up with this. I
have yet to find the data on spells, so the stuff on spells is from
game experience. The notes after each section are mostly
from game experience, too.
Note about text alignment in ROM: Every other letter is put in two
separate sections. For example, Garett goes by two parts, aet and
Grt. Do a search for aet or Grt.

Notes:
When a commander reaches level 5 in any class, his/her magical
skills are enhanced until he/she advances to the next class. A
spell's amount of damage or of healing is increased, noted by the
value after the slash under HP. The spell's distance and area of
effect are also increased by 1, noted by the value after the slash
under distance and area of effect, respectively.
Area of Effect: 0 means only affects one target. 1 means target
plus one square around, like a cross. 2 means target plus two
squares away, like a diamond with diameter 5 across. 3 is diamond 7
across, and so on. For Lightning, the area of effect is a line from
the caster to the target. All the enemy targets along this line will
also get damaged.

Note:
Enemies of the same name may have different values. Those values are
given after the slash.
Enemy Fighters and Garett have 21 DF. Also, Garett gets 2 A+.
Enemy Grand Knights have lesser values in AT, DF, and A+.
Only Commanders have To Next Lvl. This is the length of experience bar.
This number is multiplied by 8 to get actual XP needed to get a level.
Garett's Lord XP bar has length 4, others are 3.

Notes:
Range is the maximum distance away from the commander that his/her
troops can receive attack and defense bonuses; also known as sphere
of influence. If a troop is not within his/her commander's sphere,
instead of the commander's picture in battle, it will be replaced by the
words "Out of Range".
All commanders have Range of 4, except for your Fighters, who have 3.
The Amulet item increases a commander's range to 9.
If enemy's magic differs from yours, they are given after the semicolon.
Promotion
Found that section at 2c402. Each class has at most two promotion paths.
Only good commanders can be promoted.
Buying Troops
Found that section at 2c202. Soldiers start at 0x41, up to 0x47 for
Guardman. Each commander can have up to 3 unit types, but the max
for each commander might be held at somewhere else. For instance, if
you try to give Rangers some troops to buy, it might cause the ROM to
malfunction. So it's safer to just change the troops rather than to add a
troop.
Notes:
It is possible to get 3 Rangers by the time you finish the game without
cheating. Only Sabra, Calais, and Mina can become Rangers. Rangers
cannot buy armies, hence, their A+ and D+ values are 0.
Here's how to advance them to get Rangers:
Sabra: Fighter --> Lord --> Magic Knight --> Ranger
Calais: Warlock --> Wizard --> Magic Knight --> Ranger
Mina: Cleric --> Warlock --> Wizard --> Magic Knight --> Ranger

Notes:
Some monsters, including Grand Knight who rides atop a Styracosaur,
moves like footmen with the following exceptions: they can't climb
castle walls; they take 3 movement points to cross hills and 4 points to
cross deep water. Yes, GK moves like Monsters.
Check the icon in the lower left to see the actual underlying terrain.
There are only 15 types, including black Void squares.
For example, a throne counts as a castle wall. Building walls come in
several flavors, too.
House and indoors are two different types. The only difference is that
swimmers move more easily in house tiles than in indoors tiles. House
tiles don't appear too often. Off the top of my head, they are seen in
Scenarios 3 and 14.
Defense bonuses are for all units. Some units get additional bonuses
(which can be found in their stat section in the rom.)Archers and Dark
Elves get additional bonus that add up to 40% in Forests. Flyers always
have 30%. Swimmers get a total of 50% in shallow and deep water.
Throne gives 40% since it counts as a castle wall.

Notes:
These names appear in this order in the ROM.
All the allied commanders are listed first, which ends at the second Warlock.
Then the evil commanders follow, which end at Wight. Monster commanders come
after them since they are neutral.
All the allied units are listed after the monster commanders, followed by
evil units, then monster units (starting with Styracosaur.)
The first of three same classes is Garett, followed by men, then the
women, namely Sabra.
Unit Data
The unit data is organized as follows when you read it starting at

(Total 64 bytes for each unit.)
Explanation:
#00: There are 8 unit types: 00: soldier; 01: archer; 02: mounted;
03: flyer; 04: swimmer; 05: undead; 06: slime; 07: monster.
#6 to #12: Some units have bonuses against one or more types. These
bonuses give extra attack and defense (1st and 2nd byte respectively)
when fighting against that units of that type.
For example, Soldiers get +2A +4D against archer types--specifically
against Archer and Dark Elves.
#13 to #27 are the movement costs over that terrain type. They are
pretty standardized for the five movement groups (see Terrain above.)
#28 to #41 are the terrain bonus in addition to the normal bonus. For
example, Archers and Dark Elfs get +20% in Forest tiles.
#42 Troop cost is how much you pay to hire that unit.
#43 Gold you get for each enemy of that type that you defeat.
#44 Experience you get for killing that unit. Most troops give 3 and
most commanders give 10.
#45 Commanders can have up to 3 spells. See Magic section to find the
hex for the spell (1 to D; 10).
#47 Range for commanders.
#49 Flags. Bit 3 ( bitwise OR 04) is immunity to sleep, confusion, stone
#51 A+ D+ that commanders give to their troops.
#52 To next level which I already explained in Stats section.
#53 There are some patterns to this byte. The first digit is 2 for good,
3 for enemy. The second digit is 1 or 2 for good, 4 or 5 for evil. I
don't know what they do.
