Have been wanting to do a hardcore FE7 draft for while. Wondering if anyone would be interested. The rules I had are as follows:
6 team draft with each team playing the entirety of the game starting with Lyn hard mode into Hector hard mode. The only “free” characters would be Hector, Merlinus, and Athos; all other characters would be draftable over the course of 6 rounds (snake draft), which is 40 total characters (4 would not be left undrafted).
Here’s the kicker: any unit that is deployed on a map is playable for that chapter. You can only choose to deploy units you drafted, but there are certain chapters where you are forced to deploy certain characters. For example, chapter 21 of Hector’s story requires the player to deploy Eliwood. So for that chapter specifically, all teams may use Eliwood in battle, regardless if they drafted Eliwood or not.
So the following units would be available for everyone for these specific chapters:
Lyn: Prologue, ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7x, 8, 9, 10, 16, 20, 22, 26, 31, Final
Kent: ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16
Sain: ch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 16
Florina: ch 3, 4, 5, 6, 16
Wil: ch 3, 4, 5, 6, 16
Rath: ch 6
Matthew: ch 6, 11, 12, 13, 13x
Nils/Ninian: ch 7, 21, 32, Final
Lucius: ch 7
Wallace: ch 9
Eliwood: ch 12, 13, 13x, 20, 21, 22, 26, 31, Final
Oswin: ch 12, 13, 13x
Marcus: ch 12, 13, 13x
Serra: ch 12, 13, 13x
Lowen: ch 12, 13, 13x
Rebecca: ch 12, 13, 13x
Bartre: ch 12, 13, 13x
Dorcas: ch 12, 13, 13x
Priscilla: ch 14
Canas: ch 17x
Dart: ch 19
Isadora: ch 22
Pent: ch 26
Louise: ch 26
There would also be special scenarios where a unit could be deployed to recruit a drafted unit. Example being, Serra could be deployed in chapter 14 if you drafted Erk.
If there’s any questions, happy to answer them! Let me know if you’d be interested
