STM's Challenge Stage v1.51 - STM1993 - 01-27-2017
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.

Old Version (Click to View)
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!

RE: STM's Challenge Stage v1.3 - STM1993 - 04-08-2018
Bump because I've given it a huge update.
* Balancing adjustments, especially to Stage 3 & 4. Also adjusted ratios greatly.
* All stages have 6 substages in total (stage 5 has 7 as before).
* Completely new Survival added.
Don't have an up-to-date video playthrough of it, unlikely to have time to make one because I'm busy.
See first post, added a video.
Survival playthrough will come another day.

I've scripted up an image - a storyboard, if you will - showing everything that spawns. Check it out:
