  War of the Lions Tweak v2.52 - Optional Features:

    This document contains the list of optional patches and descriptions of the optional features they enable!
    To apply these patches, follow these steps:

    - Step 1: Open PPF-O-Matic.
    - Step 2: Click the disk icon next to "ISO File" and point it at your already-patched WOTL Tweak ISO file.
    - Step 3: Click the disk icon next to "Patch" and point it at the desired optional patch PPF file.
    - Step 4: Click Apply!
    - Repeat the above steps for each desired optional patch (stack them all onto the same ISO file).


    * Smart Encounters
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt1_smart_encounters.ppf

        This patch enables the "Smart Encounters" ASM hack, giving you complete control over when you fight
        random battles. Walking past green dots on the map will never trigger a random battle, but stopping
        ON a green dot always will. So if you want to fight a battle, click ON the green dot; if you don't
        want to fight a battle, then click on a dot BEYOND the green dot to pass through it safely.


    * Encounter Unscaling
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt2_encounter_unscaling.ppf

        This patch enables the "Encounter Unscaling" ENTD hack, which causes enemies to no longer scale to the
        player's level in random battles. Instead, they will have preauthored levels based on their monster
        type and the location of the battle. For example, Chocobos in Mandalia Plains random battles will
        always be level 3.

        See wotltweakv2.52_encounter_unscaling.txt (in Spoilers) for details on how levels were determined for
        each monster type in each location.


    * Final Fantasy Tactics A2 MP System
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt3_ffta2_mp_system.ppf

        This patch enables the "Final Fantasy Tactics A2 MP System" ASM hack, which causes all characters to
        start with 0 MP at the beginning of battle and regenerate 1/8th MaxMP after every turn. This requires
        spellcasters to "build up" to their most powerful spells by conserving MP on each turn.

        Note: The Rune Armlet (the new MP regenerating accessory) will still function if you apply this
              optional patch. It will cause the equipped character to regenerate MP twice as fast
              (1/4th MaxMP per turn instead of 1/8th MaxMP per turn).


    * Undead Always Reanimate
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt4_undead_always_reanimate.ppf

        This patch enables the "Undead Always Reanimate" ASM hack, which causes undead monsters to ALWAYS
        revive at the end of their death countdown (instead of having a 50% chance). This makes battles
        against undead foes a bit trickier, as you need to make sure they are all down at the same time in
        order to win the battle.


    * No Unit Desertion
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt5_no_unit_desertion.ppf

        This patch enables the "No Unit Desertion" ASM hack, which prevents your units from deserting the
        party if their Brave gets too low or their Faith gets too high. You can go ahead and pump that Faith
        rating up as high as you want it on your spellcasters without worry.


    * Static Brave & Faith
    - wotltweakv2.52_opt6_static_brave_faith.ppf

        This patch enables the "Static Brave & Faith" ASM hack, which prevents Brave and Faith from changing
        permanently. Brave and Faith increases and decreases will apply only to the current battle - after the
        battle, they will always revert to their original values (for example, Ramza will always have 70 Brave
        and 70 Faith). This makes Brave and Faith intrinsic, unchanging properties of each character that must
        be planned around.

        In addition, it buffs the amount of Brave/Faith temporarily boosted by Steel, Praise, and Preach, so
        that these skills are still worth using.

        Note: The "No Unit Desertion" optional patch is compatible with this one, but I'm not sure it's
              actually possible to trigger a desertion if your Brave and Faith can't change. Still, there's
              no harm in applying it also if you want to be sure.
