Hey! So I'm gonna be completely honest, I only made this account so I could post this thread because I feel like I'm out of options. To preface, my lunatic mode run has been...less than ideal, but I've already struggled enough to get to where I am now, I don't think I have the heart to reset completely. I'm stuck on chapter 5, the one where you get Maribelle and Ricken. Apparently it's notorious for being hard to beat on lunatic, so I've looked at guides and stuff for help. The strategy I've seen everywhere was that you basically use Lissa and a Rescue staff to save the two new units and then keep them behind. However, my problem is that I don't have Lissa to begin with - I was struggling with chapter 3 and I ended up having to sacrifice her near the end. It wasn't an easy decision, but I figured that Maribelle or Libra could end up being my main healers. Little did I know that getting Maribelle in the first place was going to be damn near impossible to begin with. My strategy so far has been to send Robin/Sumia up to kill the eastern myrmidon with Celia's Gale so Maribelle/Ricken can hide in the corner and after that I have Frederick/Sully kill the fighter next to it. I'm not really sure what to do next, so I usually just keep Lon'qu/Kellam at the bottom to fight the enemies to the west and Chrom/Stahl just kinda hide in the corner because they're both fragile as shit. I usually survive the first turn, but it's the ones after that get dicey. If I get good RNG, Frederick/Sully and Robin/Sumia pick off some enemies and get left with relatively high health with Maribelle/Ricken still in the corner. At this point Lon'qu/Kellam either survive by dodging and abusing the Killing Edge or they get overwhelmed and die. Turn 3 is as far as I usually get since at this point the main damage dealers can only do so much at the giant swarm of enemies, which usually ends up with one of them making it over and killing Maribelle/Ricken. If those two somehow miraculously survive, it's usually Chrom/Stahl that end up getting killed by this point if the bottom enemies haven't killed Lon'qu already. You can see the struggle I'm facing, right? Quite literally an uphill battle. I'll give any information you guys need, I just need some advice. Hell, I don't even need Ricken or Stahl - as long as I end up with Maribelle and everybody else alive, then I'd call it a success. Why yes, this is my first lunatic run, how could you tell?

Just looking for some advice on doing an ironman run of Conquest on Hard mode. (In case you didn't know, ironman means no resetting under any circumstances, and if I get a game over due to my avatar dying or me failing a specific map objective, the run is over.) Examples of things I'm looking for: -Avatar builds -Which characters are worth using and investing into -How to deal with death/permanent injury -Utilizing DLC items (only the free stuff like the Exalt and Hero Brands and the gifts from Anna) -General strategy -Good couples -Building support -When to recruit children -Best generic units to capture and where to find them -Forging

I am currently putting together my first hack, a complete edition of FE7. Essentially, it ties all of the route splits together, so you get stuff like both Hector and Eliwood's versions of chapter 11 and both Pale Flower of Darkness chapters, letting you get all the characters and situations (with some script tweaks to maintain cohesion). One of the last things I have yet to implement is having the player go through Valorous Roland, the chapter where Eliwood gets Durandal, right after The Berserker, where Hector gets Armads. The problem is that if the playthrough is done on Hector's mode, it treats him as a mandatory unit and Eliwood as optional, meaning that it puts Hector in the hallway where Eliwood usually begins and Eliwood doesn't have to be brought at all. The reverse also occurs if doing The Berserker on Eliwood mode. Narratively this isn't obviously isn't ideal, but I haven't figured out how to change essential units flagging or placement. I would also like to add a chapter for Lyn to get her weapon, which would require having her as the mandatory character. Would anyone be able to advise me? I'm currently using FEBuilder and have Nightmare, though I don't know if there might be another program better suited for it.

Hey i am trying to get good at FE and i want to play FE 4. I have already played FE 7, but it still isn't enough. Any help would be appreciated

So, I finally defeated Golden Sun on a legit copy this time. I'm trying to do the Passowrd Transfer bit. I've typed in the Password twice and both times it's been invalid? The first time I wrote the down, the second time I took pictures of the password. Help? Why isn't it working?
