How difficult would this be? NEW GAME +

Got it. That DID make sense...
The event space that has most of my attention these days would be the Air Force Boss fight just after the Utros/Typhon battle. Typhon casts SNORT, then the Air Force Boss Fight begins. Removing that boss fight would create space, correct?

The next question moving forward would be, is clearing that boss fight from the game creating enough cleared event space for the new event? That ASM patch seems like the ticket. The only reason why I'm presenting this as a challenge is that I'm right at the tip of the iceberg learning HEX. Learning ASM would be a whole different iceberg. The Adventure school in Narshe does seem like a good place to place the NewGame+ trigger/switch. That way you wouldn't have to rewrite the new game/save menu...all you'd have to do is create a new caption for the receptionist at the school after the condition had been met.
