wow...ran into him again just yesterday. I went back to level up before ToF, and got him within a half dozen or so random battles.

This time he managed to take out just my Ninja before I finished him off.

I thought it was a much more rare encounter......I wonder is there any way I downloaded a ROM with the programming slightly altered to make for a higher encounter rate for warmechs?

That's not necessarily the reason, you could've simply been so lucky as to actually encounter him fairly often anyway.

I met him twice in a row once

I was a higher level than you when I reached Melmond. I was like level 45 or something when I reached Tiamat.

Jeepers.

Level 45 isn't even necessary to finish the game, let alone Melmond. Many people finish the game at level 27 or higher, usually around level 30.

So how many days were spent killing ogres or green giants to get there?

Oh, and saying I was at level 23 was in no way bragging of my levelling prowess, it was just an indication of my level when I ran into warmech.

it's a... 1/64 chance or something... I don't remember exactly. And yes, if you wanted I could go into the ROM and increase the Warmech encounter. If you'd like, I could make him the most common encounter everywhere in the game.
(you could just do it yourself with FF Hackster)

Were you playing the Dawn of Souls or Origins version on Easy mode? Leveling past 40 for anything takes just about forever, and is completely unnecessary...otherwise, in the case of Dawn of Souls, the level standards have changed.

Dawn of Souls. On an emulator. With a speed-up button.
