=== Morale and Luck values ===
In the game files, there are lines intended to show the hero's army's luck as a descriptive value, instead of a number (such as +1, or -3). The values for Morale were intended as follows: Treason (-3), Awful (-2), Poor (-1), Normal (0), Good (+1), Great (+2), and Blood! (+3). The values for Luck were intended to be Cursed (-3), Awful (-2), Bad (-1), Normal (0), Good (+1), Great (+2), and Irish (+3).

The original concept for the airship was to have it tied to the Factory. Ultimately, [[Horn of the Abyss/Team Interview (2024)#Airship Yard|the decision was made]] to have airship yards only as map objects instead.
