  1. Frederick should have drowned in his armour during the fleet crash action from Robin. Remove the Jeigan from the game. Waste of space character.
  2. I made an Escape Room in Radiant Dawn chapter 1-3, and I'd love it if you'd check it out! Even better, if you're interested, please upload your attempt to YouTube so I can see how everyone tackles the Escape room! If you're more interested in watching others struggle, I also had four fire emblem players try their hand at the escape room in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwpsBxMlgVQ But if you're planning on playing yourself, I highly recommend doing that before spoiling yourself by watching! You can find a link to my discord in the YT video, and in the discord you'll have access to all the resources you need to play it yourself!
  3. It orders it based on highest growth to lowest, in the case of ties it goes from Res backwards to HP. This skews growth rates to a rich get richer system. Higher growths are first in line, proc often and thus lower growths get lower. Best example is Jill with no capped stats. She has a 45% STr growth rate, but it is like her 4th highest growth rate and ties with one or two other stats so it is like 6th or even 7th in proc order. Statistically this lowers her STr growth from 45% to a measly 21% when using BEXP only.
  4. Fun fact, there is physical evidence portrait painting exists in Tellius, Oliver has a portrait of himself in the 4-4 map!
  5. And Typhoon Carter's used Soren and improves the turncount by a whopping 1 turn! (I was not aware of the Chiki Ilyana usage and can't say if that 1 Turn was improved By soren. But that probably means that ilyana is not better, they're just interchangable.)
  6. If he was worse than Ilyana the Ltc would have used Ilyana...?
  7. Funnily enough, in Maniac LTC he is extremely valuable due to the 255 thunder tome hitting Res and picking up OHKO's with vantage other units couldn't hope to get.
  8. Don't worry about using Titania, her growths are excellent and she can be servicable to great up until the very end of the game!
  9. That's rather hypocritical, why are you talking about Maniac Mode then, since that was literally a mode removed in the final version of the product and thus was clearly not intended to be played. As has been said above, those playthroughs, even if they don't allign with your moral code, can still prove valuable insights and can still be learned from to apply to other playthroughs. The Typhoon Carter playthrough plays with 100% growths, which is just the same as rigging without all the resets. The chili one is 0% growths with critforges, because it uses existing game mechanics -intended or not- to play around the loss of stats. Playing 0% with critforges is still a lower power level than with growths but without critforges. And they completed the game in 149 turns. There is a lot to be learned from that. If you cannot acknowledge that you can still enjoy playing the game your way, but you can't expect people to take your advice and tiering seriously, as it is incredibly linear and close minded.
  10. Playing the way you like is fine but 'working from a succes rate' standpoint while you're playing as far from efficient as physically possible is just not helping your case. You're literally arguing 'handicap yourself for 95% of the game for a marginally better chance of succes during the 5%' Maniac has been completed with 0% growths in 149 turns. That's completing the entire game in around the same amount of turns as you said you took for clash alone. And I can assure you Titania is worth more there than any growth unit ever would be. We've come a long way since the early 2000's, where people favoured growths over bases and Nino over Pent, but by now we've learned that Bases > Growths. A 20% growth rate advantage is at max 7,6 points worth of magic, but that is only if both units start at lvI 1 T1. That is not realistic and still not the whole picture because the lower Mag growth unit often gets close to cap anyway on average, so the end result won't be 7,6 mag difference either. I highly recommend some of those maniac mode playthroughs on YT, the commentary often has valuable insights regarding their unit choice and what makes a unit good (for any kind of playthrough, LTC or otherwise)
  11. Forged slims lance and forged thunder are the two best forges in the game hands down. Just forge max Mt and -6 crit and you're golden
  12. Came in expecting frustration over lack of pwoer of tomes in RD. This checks out as well.
  13. Thanks for the heads up and the work you've all been doing!
  14. If you're going for an ironman you want reliable units, because a fed unit snowballs harder and stays fed. So if you Bexp marcia and get her ahead of the curve she'll have a level and stat lead, including def. You could do the same to Jill, but why do that when you can do it to Marcia and benefit from that fed unit for more chapters. Jill's speed is also suspect enough to consistenly miss doubling or get doubled.
  15. Sorry but if OP is talking about Maniac Mode, how is Marcia not at the number one spot still? Bexp dump flier to have her instantly promote and give her a slim forge with 255 crit and she literally OHKO's everything, and I mean literally everything, until chapter 17, after which she stil ORKO's until clash.
  16. I'll grab the Tier Lost made by Typhoon carter as well for reference, as he's done a shitload of work on PoR, LTC and otherwise.
  17. As we all know, KAGA is just an acronym for "Kidnapped And Given Amnesia"
  18. What do you mean with having to reset. If you're playing an Ironman, that is what you tend to not do.
  19. Oh man I forgot about this. Cool to see the development! Is there a list of all characters/motivations/general plot line for plot important characters? That'd give me a bit of a direction for what supports would feel natural and organic. And I will think of characters as well
  20. Regarding that: Nailah: Who would’ve guessed that a madman on the other side of the desert would somehow threaten Hatari? Sephiran: Hatari. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to see it. The wolf tribe has survived all this time in the far corner of the world. Only the goddess could have known that. Nailah: Perhaps even she didn’t know it. Your goddess isn’t perfect, you know. Does an imperfect goddess have the right to judge imperfect beings? Sephiran: I see your point. Does the creator retain the right to destroy her creations when they are no longer what she envisioned? I imagine we could discuss this sometime… if only we had more time. I believe you alone might be able to sway my opinion on this, Lady Nailah, Queen of Wolves. Nailah: You have too many opinions. I’m done talking. Ashera has no dialogue with Nailah or Volug
  21. That is very nifty, I've actually been looking into that back when i was working on PvP. I got pvp working, but it's with an outside tool modifying live code. Do you have the address locations etc as i'd be keen to take a look at your notess to see if this can be implemented directly without codes.
  22. There was no deciphering needed. The game files were ripped and an image file with all capital letters and non capital letters were founds in Alphabetical order. It was a 5 minute job to get the file and a 10 second job to match the letters to their normally used counterparts. Who designed the font, probably someone on the graphical team working on PoR
  23. Cool concept! I think Jeorge cool also fit in well. Though not part of Marth's forces, he does have his own reasons to go back to Pyrathi. In the town he is recruited Jeorge has a few of his "informants" of sorts that are caught up in the conflict. He's clearly an in the know character and a network would help him keep the upper hand regarding his family's squabbling between his and other noble families vying for power. He might even need to use Parthia as a bargaining chip to ensure their safety and then try to retrieve it later down the line? The bow could be used as a highly sought after tool that could sway the struggle for control of Pyrathi? If not for it's battle prowess, it could be sold for resources etc. Not sure if this is the kind of stuff you'd be looking for but when envisioning Jeorge it's mostly about calculative work and cunning and that might be interesting to explore.
