Forgive the double post if you will. The mods are ready. My dual-monitor set-up is good to go, and everything is in order... Now I just need that new Mic! It should be coming in tomorrow, and then I'll need a bit of time to set it up. So expect this show to start in the next couple days... Assuming my Mic arrives on time, that is. EDIT: Ok, so 2 things. 1) I completely forgot that Verdane under Batou is a Mod. 2) There is a 3-way tie between Archenea, Elibe, and Jugdral. If it remains tied until I start the LP, I'll take executive action and drop one of them. EDIT 2: @eclipse, if it's alright, I think I'll just make a new thread, given I want to put another Poll up.

+400 Gold on turn 200. Why worry about many cities or use production when you can just buy everything? Of course, until you fill those trade routes, Venice is quite weak. +10 Faith and +6 Culture permanently vs Maybe +7 Gold for 30/45 turns if you have a friend. I'd say most of the time the Palace is better. He has some manner of synergy with all the Ideologies. Mirage Masters are equal in strength to the Era's Infantry unit. They also get a pre-fight ranged attack, like the Zulu Impi. Pretty strong indeed, but fairly hard to get, what with them being Great People.

M'k, thanks. You can pick however many you want... Did I get the name wrong? TMS or SMT? Short summary below. Heheheh... Jolly good fun, eh? I've played a little of 6, it's.. Odd, but acceptable. 5 has it's problems, but I much prefer it.

1) These mods add FE Characters as nation-leaders. 2) It will not. It's more for the entertainment of fighting, say, Arvis while playing as Ashnard. 3) Yea, probably. 4) Giant. Death. Robots. "The "mech" is a giant bipedal mechanical robot armed with a variety of missiles, Gatling gun arms, laser-beam eyes and a deadly kung-fu punch. Although not currently found on the modern battlefield, no doubt across the world governments and evil corporations are secretly developing these metal behemoths even as we speak. When these mechs come into service, all of the world's other weaponry will become obsolete, and humanity's fate will be decided by a climactic battle between armies of good and evil mechs in the streets of downtown Tokyo. (Assuming that the giant radioactive monsters don't get us first.)" - Civopedia, Civilization 5. The Civ5 FE Modders are an ambitious bunch, they are. It's cause TH came out not to long ago, and some of the aforementioned Modders have moved onto Civ6. All these mods contain a leader with an unique ability and at least 2 unique units/buildings. Ares is fun. Not quite as broken as certain other Civs, but still strong.

This should be good. Let's see how this ends up... Here are the Leaders in the sets: Archenea - Aurelis (Harden), Dolhr (Medeus), Grust (Lorenz, Yubello), Altea (Prince Marth), Pyrathi (Manu), Divine Dragons (Gotoh, Naga), Archenea (Emperor Hardin, Nyna, King Marth), Gra (Jiol, Sheena), Macedon (Michalis), Talys (Caeda), Khadein (Arlen, Gharnef) Elibe - Bern (Zephiel, Narcian, Guinivere), Pherae (Eliwood), Neo-Fang (Lugh & Raigh), Nabata (Igrene, Sophia), Eturia (Pent, Louise, Percival, Cecilia), Kutolah (Dayan), Sacae (Lyn), Lycia (Roy), Black Fang (Nino, Ursula, Reed Brothers), Ostia (Hector, Lilina) Fates - Valla (Azura, Corrin), Merchants (Funke), Nohr (Leo, Nyx, Xander), Hoshido (Ryoma, Mikoto), Flame Tribe (Rinkah), Nacht Clan (Nichol) Fodlan - Church of Seiros (Rhea), Aegir (Ferdinand), Adrestia (Edelgard), Liberation Army (Nemesis), Almyra (Claud), Nabatea (Sothis) Heroes - Vice Askr (Lif), Hel, Nifl (Fjorm), Askr (Gustav, Alfonse, Sharena), Dokkalfheimr (Freyja), Muspell (Surtr), Embla (Veronica) Jugdral - Agustria (Ares, Chagal), Chalphy (Sigurd), Velthomer (Arvis), Grannvale (Seliph), Loptyr Empire (Julius), Leonster (Quan), Isaach (Shannan), Nordion (Eldigan, Lachesis), Thracia (Travant, Leif), Fiana (Eyvel), Munster (Raydrik), Silesse (Lewyn, Ced) Magvel - Frelia (Innes, Tana), Jehenna (Ismaire, Joshua), Carcino (Rennac), Rausten (L'Arachel), Grado (Lyon), Renais (Ephraim, Eirika) SMT FE - Fortuna (Itsuki) Telluis - Talrega (Haar, Jill), Begnion (Sephiran, Sanaki), Phoenicis (Tibarn), Goldoa (Dheginsea, Kurthnaga), Hatari (Nailah), Tanas (Oliver), Crimea (Elincia), Daein (Ashnard, Micaiah), Gallia (Caineghis), Serenes (Leanne) Valentia - Zofia (Celica, Mila, Python & Forsyth), Valentia (Alm), Rigel (Berkut, Rinea, Rudolf), Bandits (Grieth) Ylisse - Future Ylisse (Lucina), Chon'sin (Say'ri), Ylisse (Emmeryn, Chrom, Robin), Regna Ferox (Basilio & Flavia & Lon'qu), Plegia (Gangrel, Validar), Grimleal (Grima), Valm (Walhart) If you see a '&', then it means it's a duo Leader. You can choose more than one of the sets. I'll probably take the top 30 or so Civs.

I'm not sure whether to place this here, or in general gaming. I'm planning on Let's Playing some Civ5 with FE Mods (Hence why I'm putting this on SF at all). This is some ground work. I'm rather curious as to whether or not anyone on SF is interested in this little hobby of mine. If so, expect more polls in the days to come.

This. Just... this. I agree, but given how faithful IS has been with all its remakes, that probably will not happen. Look at Shadow Dragon, FE12, or SoV. In every case, they've proven themselves too faithful. Faithful to the point of detrimentally affecting the game. Mostly map design, but other things too.

Lost my Heroes account back in... What was it October? I think that's when. Anyways, I got back into it back in December. Doing decently, despite my F2P-ing. I did have atrocious luck on the Legendary Banner in December, getting only 5 Heroes despite burning ~400 Orbs. The new "Bundle last year's Heroes into the new seasonals" does kill my enthusiasm for Seasonals a bit.

Either Genealogy or TH. Genealogy for it's vast maps or TH for its vast times between chapters.

1- Finish up my current playthrough of Octopath Traveler. 2- Get back into Let's Playing Civ5, maybe play some of the many FE Civ mods (Stopped because my Mic broke, and then I lost my YouTube channel). Also get back into Modding Civ5. I don't care if it's an old game, it's still great! 3- Maybe attempt 112% and All Achievements Hollow Knight. As a side note: I very highly recommend Hollow Knight. It's an absolute gem of a game. Latter on the bosses get... Well hard is an understatement. The big 3 especially. I'm spoilering this, it doesn't spoil the story or bosses, just a little forewarning about the aforementioned big 3.

I dabbled a little in LotR lore a long time ago, but I remember it does happen in the book. Of course, in said book, the dagger the Hobbit stabbed him with was specifically made to kill wraiths, so that may have something to do with it.

Yea. Heroes news is a big mixed bag. I honestly don't know why they dropped a surprise port of an ancient game, however. I mean, I'm not against it, but I'd rather they use their time one something other than translating a nearly 30 year old game. Bump it up. Genealogy lives off it's story. Take it away and what do you have? Big, bloated maps.

1) I've never been on the FE Reddit. 2) I never said you should only ever EP. Merely that you can get more done doing so than Player Phasing.

Rookie numbers! I go to sleep at 7-9 AM and wake up 2-4 PM. Night jobs will do that for you. Enough of the off topic. Here's hoping to a better 2021!

I know. But when it's available, get it. It's one of the best skills in the game. Agreed. A fighting retreat is best to deal with that. Entrap helps... some.

Depends on which game we're talking about. Ancient era FE (FE 1-3), Sprite era (4-8), 3D (9, 10, 13-16), or psuedo-3D (11 & 12)? Ancient is bleh. 3D- Telluis is excellent, 13 & 14 are meagre in comparison (with the exception of 13's Hero). Psuedo-3D is alright. Sprites are love, Sprites are life! Especially FE8's Great Knight. As for what they add... It's mostly flavor. Aesthetically pleasing, you might say. As long as they're fast or over-the-top, it's great. Fast as in NOT FE9, and over-the-top as in Jugdral's & Telluis's S-rank Tomes. As for skipping, if I just want the map to be over, then skip away.

Lunge is the only exception, and a blasted annoying one at that. You can avoid it, AKA 'the answer is don´t go into the room', or Player Phase it. I recommend the latter in such circumstances. Don't go sleeping on Awakening! It comes late, but oi is it strong when you get to play with it. That and it melds well with Vantage. If only Wrath existed in Fates... Then we'd have some real fun.

Missing is part of the game, Debuffs are life in Fates, I assume that is refering to Poison Strike/Grisly Wound/Savage Blow which are in fact BS, Lunge is a skill and can thus be seen and avoided. You want to Player phase everything, then you do you. Close enough, given the stat difference between +3 and +4 are negligible. As for resources, you can always go castle visiting. Unless I missed Nintendo discontinuing the online functions, that is.

Calculations. Lotsa calculations. Do those, and Enemy phase > Player phase, with a few exceptions. Especially with Ryoma or (to a lesser extent) Xander.

We're arguing about Braves now? M'k. Honestly, I don't like Braves in Fates. They're good for player-phasing. But past that, I feel like they're overpriced and underpowered. For the cost of 1 brave, you can get a tier 4 Iron, which is more useful given enemy-phasing is so prevalent in this game. I know Braves are good for boss-killing, but to me, they're rarely worth the cost.

Yea, sorry. Had a brain fart there.

I think he means 1 eye sees 'warm colors' better, while the other 1 sees 'cold colors' better. As for me, as long as they can heal, it's good enough. Stats and other staffs will come with time.

Grrr... Why Silas? You where made for better than this... Of course, even with his skills, I doubt he could really keep up with that abomination of stats that is Elise. Or Nyx Staff Savant. To much OP leaves little room for anything else.

While I do like the idea, I know IS will most assuredly butcher it. Last time they rammed an Avatar into a remake, we got Kris... If it's a good Avatar, then I'd like it. Good as in A) not a silent protag. Either thay are their own character that we can change a little bit of*, or they give us meaningful dialog options. Or B) a minor character like Alec, Lex, or the like. Someone who's not terribly important, but is still there. *As much as I dislike it, Corrin was the closest FE has come to what I'd call a good Avatar: They're their own person who is minorly changed by the player.

Effie has a decent base but meh 50% growth, and that requires her to stay a Knight. Keaton has other issues, mostly nonexistant Skill and Res. Beruka's just underwhelming. And no, I didn't mean Res. Xander has pretty bad Res, while Benny is decisively tanky in every way he can be (31+70% Hp, 19+75% Def, 10+45% Res, and Wary Fighter). Yea, but I was wondering if anyone else had sunk enough time into that game to know it.
