Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen/Trivia


 * Urban Legend of Zelda:
 * Several sources said that battles directly affected reputation, in the same way that they affected alignment and charisma. This wasn't true. Also, amazons don't hate male leaders, at least not in anyway that affects gameplay.
 * Certain game mechanics are improperly represented by most guides, which are then copied by others, allowing rumors to form. For instance, Amazons do not do better in units that are all female, and attacking weaker/stronger units does not affect global "karma", just individual unit ratings.
 * Sadly, almost all of those rumors arose from the official strategy guide and Nintendo Power (often NP copying the guide), which led to them being copied by the earliest internet walkthroughs, which led to them being "common knowledge," despite being completely false. You can, in fact, have a level 25 unit running around pwning lvl 10 units with no hit to your reputation whatsoever, though they will have 0 ali and 0 cha. Probably the first game is especially vulnerable to this due to its rather vague mechanics and the fact that the reputation meter, despite being a 100-point scale, is represented by a fairly small visual with no number, so playing the game the standard way may make it hard to tell just how much impact anything had on it.
