UNITS EXAMINE
On this screen, the first choice you are given is to choose which country you wish to view. That's right, you can scrutinize your enemy's units! Use the pic to the left for reference to the Japanese names. The player's county always displays as the top country. For instance, for this demo I chose Iscalio, so it's name is first. However, if you are playing Caerleon, Caerleon's name will be top on the list.

Once you chose a country, use the d-pad to move the cursor across the horizontal column headings. Press Circle to change the display based upon the column heading,

  • Farthest left: Chose whether to display just Knights 騎士, just monsters (モンスター), or all units (すべて)
  • 2nd from left: Sorts list by level
  • Middle: Sort list by EXP
  • 2nd from right: Sort list by Class
  • Far right: Sort list by Magic

KNIGHTS
The Knights List allows you to scroll down and see the status of all your country's Knights. As seen in the pic on the left:
  • The left column is the Knight's name
  • The middle column is the Knight's Status:
    • 待機 Standing By
    • クエスト On a Quest
    • 負傷 Injured
  • The column to the right shows in which castle the Knight currently sits.
    		•
    When you highlight a name, the Knight and his/her monsters will display under the list (as seen left.) Return to top

    WORLD MAP
    Here it is, folks, the improved world map. Just like in the original Brigandine, you have an overview showing the location of each castle.

    However, there are of course differences, and these differences are of course cool!

    First of all, there's the matter of castles. Any occupied castle displays in bold. Any empty castle displays in a subdued hue.

    Next there's the matter of roads. That's right, as you can see in the pic, the map includes the roads from one castle to the next.
