Valor of the Royal

Results of trial run: Battle state bug resulting in TPK.

Details: Lost during the level grind at Damycam, of all places.


I probably should have anticipated this the last time we had a problem with Gilbert. His default command here is to Fight, but he ran and hid because he's low on HP and now Show is the only option. So the borg is just pressing up repeatedly here until that one Mini Mage whittles the other two party members down. Then Gilbert comes out, gets off one attack, and succumbs to Hold and a couple more shots.

Solution: Added a top-priority conditional for Gilbert to come out of hiding whenever he has the Hide status for all parts of the game where we have Gilbert. It's a bit silly watching him run back and forth, but it means the other party members can take actions while Gilbert is running laps.
