BlueLeafeon Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just curious as to how many players took the cheap way out and fought with the generals so they didn't have to worry about Yarne committing suicide. I'm also undecided on which one to pick, yet again. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryHg34 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 What I don't understand is that if you side with neither and fight both of them, they are suddenly friends who want to kill you and make no attempt to hurt each other, even though you had nothing to do with the initial conflict and they were literally at each others throats 2 seconds earlier.

Kirokan Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah it's pretty cheap how they gang up on you. I do both since the end result you get more money than you would have anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Ingame, Paladin side, the General side is easy to beat once you figure out how to take out the Swordmasters efficiently. For postgame, both, for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iridium Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I allied with the red army because communism I was hoping I'd get to fight green people. Didn't end up happening, but at least Yarne stayed alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I allied with myself because fuck them I wanted combat experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeThiAnh Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I allied with myself because fuck them I wanted combat experience This. That and I didn't want to ally with a bunch of idiots over whatever the hell they were fighting over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I would have liked to fight them both, but I was on Lunatic, and they all attack you straightforward, no waiting or anything, so I restarted and went for the knights (and still had a hard time, but managed).

Honestly Vitali Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I really was worried it was going to be so hard to fight both I put it off until after I had most of my team... As I wanted them (like, a rating in the high-200s, low-300s). Last night I demolished both. Inigo and Owain, paired, literally handled all the Green Army.

riariadne Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Didn't know you could choose to fight both at the time, so I chose the generals because I like generals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Tactician Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I chose to fight them both since honestly, I didn't like either of them. My team was so OP anyways, most of the horsemen rushed to their dooms at the hand of Chrom-noms and his forged Raiper, while I had the rest of my team deal with the Generals. And, I still got Yarne, I had Chrom speak to him first so I wouldn't accidently kill him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M. Gei Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I only learned I could fight them both after my first playthrough, but on my Lunatic postgame file, I took both on. Ten grand and all four villages is a pretty sweet deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I tried to take them both on at the same time. Failed after a couple of tries. Said "fuck it" and sided with the green army because my flying things + their bows = no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbot Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I sided with the green army because I was underleveled for the chapter, wanted to recruit Yarne ASAP (totally worth it, Yarne is amazing), and didn't want my Griffon Rider Panne to deal with all the Bow Knights. Next time, I'll fight both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-So-Great Knight Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Killed them all AND Yarne. And nothing of value was lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oshimos Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yarne was one of the last kids I got; by the time I did his chapter I was strong enough that I could take on both armies without much difficulty, so that's what I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I always fight both. Because of my tendency to grind everything, my team is always strong enough by the time I enter Sidequest 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 sided with the paladins, but only because i thought you had to make a choice between them and couldn't just fight them both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrahunter Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Fought both, I never pass up exp and I find the idea of not getting Yarne on turn 1 to be preposterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klingy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Fought both, I never pass up exp and I find the idea of not getting Yarne on turn 1 to be preposterous. Position Panne right and she can recruit him on Turn 1 regardless. Even if she somehow can't reach, with Olivia, she or Chrom should be able to easily. Funny, I was just planning on doing this today. Story-wise, I'd side with Green. I like generals, and I want Yarne to be on side (even if he's under the control of the PURE EEEEEEEVIL NPC AI) from the start. (He's my Avatar's son, after all.) But gameplay-wise, I always feel a compulsion to get everything a chapter has to offer, both EXP and items. And since siding with one or the other makes you lose out on half the exp and two villages, well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book Bro Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Fought both, I never pass up exp and I find the idea of not getting Yarne on turn 1 to be preposterous. I honestly didn't know recruiting Yarne was a problem until I saw people posting about it. I fought both armies so I could visit all the villages.

Miscellany Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I initially tried to take on both; getting to Yarne quickly enough to recruit him was no big deal...the problem was keeping him and Panne alive immediately afterward. After a couple resets, I went the cheap route and sided generals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) How to survive an onslaught from both forces with Yarne intact: Position Panne to recruit Yarne, then pair up with Yarne. Have Yarne run back south. Build a 4 man high blockade under the fence on both sides (Most durable unit on top-left side, exactly 1 tile underneath the horizontal fence) Pair Up, Rally, and Heal appropriately Defeat both sides without moving your army 30 tiles combined. Visit houses after the last chump thing with a bow gets surrounded by your units (or fly to them after clearing the mounts).
