Stage: STM's Challenge Stage v1.51
#1
Looking for a new Stage mode that is interesting yet challenging, and not another army vs army fight? Well look no further!

What is this Stage about?
* I wanted to make a new interesting, yet challenging stage mode by modifying ONLY stage.dat.
* This is because I felt the original stage mode relied too much on an army, plus the gameplay felt repetitive and is not generous with milk.
* In the main stage, weaker enemies have more HP now and are more densely packed in a smaller space in greater variety.
* To compensate, the end bosses have much less HP so they don't feel like damage sponges.
* Conversely, allies are way fewer in numbers and have way less HP.
* In survival, all enemies have less HP to speed up the gameplay and make it less tedious.
* Slightly modified etc.bmp & etc_mirror.bmp are provided so that the messages don't look weird when they appear in the stage.
* Included mainoriginal.wma, which is the same as main.wma, because I understand people may not like menu music.

Pastebin if you only want to look at the data.

History:
After some time, I decided to go back and remake my old custom stage. I ended up revamping the stage so much that it pretty much no longer resembles the old one, and fixed any crashing issues that plagued the old stage, so I decided to make a whole new thread instead.

Enjoy!
