Melee (NOT faeries/bandits/succubi) enemies can be cheesed by luring them behind bodies of water and poking them to death with ranged attacks (female characters start with one). Stick to hunts if you can, errand rewards are garbage.

Allow us to set groups. Like have four students under one group and whenever i select that group, they'll go on a quest together.
we improved all features from valthirian arc 1 & 2 in Valthirian Arc: Red Covenant. Please support us on Kickstarter to make it happen :D https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/agatestudio/valthirian-arc-red-covenant

Payneinsane, I might be a worse principle. I keep my top 4 students (maxed out completely), and hire a bunch of students just to graduate them, filling dungeons with noobs. :P

weird school, YOU pay to enter student not the STUDENTS pay to enter your school. there should be a few changes in this game. one is you should have a school campus. where you can upgrade dormitories to get more students available, and other buildings like training grounds to upgrade max level armory/smith to upgrade max weaponry you should also be able to go on 2 missions at least, one hunt and multiple errand. i have no problem with paying for weapons (schools pay for online classes). have at least 3 save slots is a good idea just encase you (or a friend/sibling) accidently over writes the saved game. this would make an awesome management game, maybe have rival schools and you can take them over or build more schools to win or something like that, the one thing that i (and probably everybody) hates is that you pay to get students, it would give people more incentive if they get payed, and graduate them after level 10 so people cant enroll then graduate to get money

love the game hate the combat map, I click to attack one thing and they go off and do what they want, that is if they are not busy humping a tree or stuck on a rock 4/5

awesome game! I move the characters around way more than i should just to hear them say "On Our Way" one more time.
Thumbs up for an expanded Valthirian Arc 2 with more upgrades, equips and multiple teams!

Excellent game for its genre!! Once you figure out how to manage your students, this game is achievable. It's very well balanced and randomness won't kill you like it does in some games. Badges and full set of achievements can be completed within a reasonable time-frame.

Needs a formation option... I'm tired of my spell caster constantly being right there with my melee, and my other melee always lagging behind.

important note about LP gain. In battle, although everyone gets the "shared LP" at the end, each individual student gets their own bonus LP for landing the finishing blow on an enemy. So if you have an unbalanced party, you might want to use the party stances such that your strong characters will weaken an enemy, then retreat so that your weak student can finish the enemy off.

Pretty good attempt but it could be a lot more interactive. Two ways you could go with it... either some direct control over the party leader with some active skills, or keep it as more of a management game with deeper customization. I like the latter idea better, so here's some suggestions for a sequel: more people to hire than just students; things like teachers to improve LP gains or alter which stats a student prefers, guest speakers that alter how students grow that week, and peripheral staff like security and gardeners for small long term gains. Your school should get attacked in various ways occasionally, like by rival schools or book thieves. You should be able to build too, dorms to increase the number of students you can have at once and libraries to give your idle students a little LP per week, stuff like that. It would make for a great game.

Finished hard badge with 2k more fame than needed, 5k gold and 4 lvl 30 fully upgraded students. Focused on 3+ star hunt quests with 1 high level and 3 low levels to upgrade for lots of learning points. Use terrain to your advantage! Only graduated "class on demand". Enrolled and graduated lvl 1 students for fame if needed instead of graduating my high levles. Did not select class for students unless they wanted to become "class of demand". Fun game, but no motivation to continue after hard badge. Would like to see other upgrade possibilities than student lvl and weapon. Tournaments were also over in 5 sec - a bit more tactic here would be cool.

Top comments are really valuable, give those a read if you're after the hard badge. Females are OP. I in particular really like the phy females in particular, the magilancers are extremely tanky and essentially have two seperate health pools, two seperate regen sources. Should be retiring your party once they get to 30. Should have a second, similar party around 10-15 by then though so you won't lose tournaments.

Lots of things holding this game back. For me it's primarily a lack of tutorial (e.g. you get the battle tutorial AFTER having done it?!) and options to go back to the title without refreshing.

You pay the Educational Centre for the students!! They only give 'em out for money, so only the wealthiest and most successful schools will be able to have students. What would the other countries say if they see a Valtharian Academy with low standards??
Besides, you should see the "Apprentice" as a rogue student who swore revenge against the academies for kicking him out for his behaviour...

Its very easy to kill the Apprentice :). You just need a person that can hit from far range like a Sorceress or a Gunner. And bait the Apprentice to a lake then run to the other side so you can hit him without you getting hit. It will take a long time depending on your levels. Hope this helps :)

Student: "Wow, this looks great! I'm looking forward to studying with you!"
Principal: "Congratulations, young one! That's the right thing to say! You graduate!"
Student: "But... I just got here, and..."
Principal: "Just take your certificate and get out of here!"

The game didn't age that well, but it still works at least. The challenge is not so much using the intended mechanics as it is abusing the glitches more than they hurt you... The pathfinding was bad even in this game's time and my tip for players struggling with it would be to move across the screen to unlatch characters stuck on water. In general, mages shooting over bodies of water (especially sorceress and mirage caster - mag and dex classes respectively) are a very efficient, if cheap tactic. Errands are only worth doing if you aren't even close to succeeding in any hunts or none are available, because they give miserable amounts of LP (experience). Always have a magic unit on hand in case you run into the Apprentice (he's a single unit that randomly replaces a normal hunt and looks like the male beginner class). He's insanely powerful but can be abused by shooting him from across water for a few thousand LP, which can easily give upwards of 10 levels to your team members.

Other suggestion about the new Valhirian Arc: unite the best things of the first Valhirian Arc (music, tournaments, fame quotas, turn-based academy managament, etc.) and the second Valhirian Arc (academy building, academy animations, storyline e story quests, etc.) and improve them.
Thank you for your suggestion. The new VA is on Kickstarter now, it's called Valthirian Arc: Red Covenant. Please support us :D
