KnightOfNohr Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Uh, after I made the last update, I forgot to put it in spoilers, and it wouldn't let me edit it. ...Is one of the mods able to help out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltosian Kadath Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 59 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Armorslayers do help, though-especially in a game without weight like this one. Levin sword is another interesting option against Armor Knights, letting a unit that lacks the embarrassing speed of mages/dark mages target resistance (and a Myrmidon MU have magic growth rates even before incorporating the choices you make with the MU, so depending on your setup and luck it can be about as effective as a Mage MU that lacks the speed to double, but better able to take hits), although you don't get your first until chapter 7, so a bit of a moot point in that situation. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: By way of explanation. Thanks for the context (although it didn't embed right on my screen so I had to copy over the link), never had the channel with Veggie Tales as a kid so missed the reference. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Our team for today. I'd bring Bord for Hammer, but he can't even double the Knights, so I'll take my chances with Barst. Note that if you brought the whole axe boy triangle a base level Bord can one shot Lang on lunatic with his Hammer triangle attack. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...and everyone turtles up against the wall, in fear of the ensuing reinforcement. That's...less intimidating than I expected. What makes them intimidating is 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...then, the ambush comes in. Frey takes a pretty bad hit. that they come ambushing in again, so when you take them down you are at the edge of the next sets range, and without rescue you have defend in the positions you used to attack. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: : That's...not how statistics works. : No, actually. It's true that real-life statistics like in sports don't function that way, but in a pure mathematical vacuum like this, it does. The chance of Luke failing to gain : Magic in one level is 90%, or 0.9. The chance if he gets two levels is 0.9 x 0.9, or 0.9^2, or 0.81. For three levels, 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9, or 0.9^3, or 0.729, etc. : 0.9^10 is, rounded up, 0.35. So the chances of him not gaining Magic by level 11 are 35%, so the chances that he does are, on average, 65%. : Not quite "due"-but still fairly likely. Careful there, the dice don't remember what they rolled, he still only has only a 10% of gaining magic next level. That only 35% of the runs that see 10 Curate Luke level ups will have no magic gains is a good way to gain some perspective on the odds, but does not actually influence them. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: If you're wondering what I'm doing here, I'm making sure the Archeaneans are out of reinforcements. I'd rather be alive than fast. A wise move to make in an iron man. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Me, 2017: What does LTC stand for?

Saint Rubenio Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 13 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : Yeah, I really think it is. : TOO BAD I CAN'T HAVE HIM That's the real struggle. 13 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: No spoilers Ahahah... well, at risk of sounding cruel, I'm glad I'm not the only one this happens to. 13 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh, ambush spawns. Better watch out for those. The first wave of reinforcements are blue. Poor Lang. Nothing goes his way. I mean, look at his nose. It looks like an inverted cock. See? His frown's a little ballsack, and then his nose is perfectly pole-shaped... Why am I still talking? 13 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Guys I'm not sure that's Navarre. Well, at any rate, I think I like him better. He has a personality, see. Can we keep him instead of the real deal? 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Caeda drinks a Pure Water, grabs a Javelin, and prepares to fight the Mages. My, Caeda is looking a lot different these days. A lot more singular, if you know what I'm saying. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh...so much for spawn-blocking. Fairly certain these guys can't be spawn-blocked even if you wait for them at the gates, since they walk into the map, as opposed to just appearing on a tile. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh...he crit. Well, the only difference between this and my original plan is that Gordin doesn't get the kill A shame. Who knows what that level could've been. He could've gotten five points. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh, nevermind. The reinforcements were for us. Good thing we didn't spawn-block them. There are still enemy ambush-ers, though. we best be wary. Frey! Frey's one of my favourite Archaneans. I do feel, however, that his appearance here undermines his actions in FE11. Still, can't complain about having him in my favourite game of the series. Norne is also a thing. I like her design and enjoy her "village girl" manner of speech, but she really doesn't go much of anywhere beyond that. She's also a really bad unit in both games she's in. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Loathe as I am to do it, it's all hands on deck here, and Norne is forced to get a kill. The horror! 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: (Getting a great level. Hey, Gordin, she's matched you!) Goodness gracious. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: See? I will defend that Dice is better to the death. Viking hat and mustache >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> bandana guy with bases. Also his daughter is too hot. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Speed! Hoorah! It's better than what she got in this map when it was me behind the wheel. You know, death. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...He couldn't reach him. I don't know who decided Archers should have a movement speed as slow as Knights, but whoever it was just saved Frey's life. The same person who decided that Hunters should be straight upgrades to them. Seriously, there's no reason to train Archers if you've got the merged reclass sets. All Archers get over Hunters is a couple points of defense, completely useless for what their class is. Then again, the Archer classline is redeemed in this game due to Sniper being absolutely brutal. High stats and high weapon ranks ensure you can pretty much make anyone a Sniper and they'll function in a pinch, and Sniper has a ton more movement than Archer (a whole 2 more points). Parthia being the earliest regalia in both games only helps their case. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : ...you just broke the 4th wall. Massively. : Did I, now? While we're at it, let me butt in to tell you that I far preferred your design from the last game. W-Who even are you?! Oh, just a guy... I murdered 15 of your comrades that one time. Nearly destroyed the universe as you knew it, too! Good times, good times. ...I think I prefer the new guy. ...Ruben. ...Luke. I like your new hairstyle. ... 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh, and Marth nabs an underrated Awakening character. I prefer Cancer, myself. No joke, 2 defense can be quite useful. On that note, please make sure to kill Lang with Arran. It's canon that he kills Lang and gets his starshard. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: If you're wondering what I'm doing here, I'm making sure the Archeaneans are out of reinforcements. I'd rather be alive than fast. Me, 2017: What does LTC stand for? No, I really asked that. Ruben will attest. Hahahahahahaha, yeah, I remember. You were curious as to why I kept repeating that my greatest fear was having to LTC Matthis's chapter. Ah, the days when you were my only reader. Has it really been two years...? 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Oh...hey. Cool. To those of you who complain how drab and dreary the DS games are... : ADJUST THE MAP BRIGHTNESS YOU PLEBIANS!! I really like the DSFE graphics, actually. The maps are beautiful, the HUDs are great (Shadow Dragon's beats this one, though) and I really dig the semi-realistic, serious style of the portraits. They were a bit too pale in Shadow Dragon, but FE12 fully realized the potential of all those portraits. Well, except for Marth, Shiida and Linde. They got worse portraits. About the only thing I dislike about these games, visually, are the battle animations. They're bland, I won't deny that much. But other than that? I really don't think they're as hideous as everyone says they are. 14 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : KNIGHTOFNOHR'S FE12 IRONMAN! [Roundabout by YES plays] Me, repeatedly throughout the course of 2 LPs: What's a Roundabout? No joke, every time I ended updates in a cliffhanger, someone would pop up and copypaste the lyrics of Roundabout, and every single time, without fail, I'd be unable to recognize what they were. KnightOfNohr can attest to that. I think that's more shameful than not knowing what LTC is, frankly. 12 hours ago, Eltosian Kadath said: Lot Trace Code Sorry...

Don't apologize, this is hilarious. Battle, Part 2: Spoiler The door is opened, and... Oh...well. The bad news is, since Caeda opened the door, she can't recruit Samto. The good news is, Caeda's a beast, so he can't kill her. The bad news is, Caeda's a beast, so she'll kill him. The good news is, Catria's medium level of beastness means she can survive Samto without killing him, as long as she doesn't use Camus' Pike. The bad news is, she crit. : Well...plesiosaur. : I really wanted that Killing Edge. At least we get Aquarius! Linde (of course) takes it. : Uh, Catria? : Yes? : I'm not sure you should have killed him. : Why not? He was an enemy, after all. : Well...he had a face, so... : Luke? Are you saying you're a Facelessist? : ...a what, now? : A facelessist. A despicable person who discriminates against those without faces. You think that just because that man had a face and the other enemies didn't, : he might be willing to defect? What a double standard. Me? I kill all my opponents; it doesn't matter if they have a face or not. : ... Everyone moves up, and Caeda stands in range of the Knight with her Wing Spear. Luke gets another Healing level. That's not- : I told you, I'm due! : You have a 65% chance of being due. Not the same thing. : ...they aren't moving. OK, let's try Linde. They won't see her HP drain effect; just the high amount they'll deal. : Nope. Still not moving. : It's OK! We can use my Rescue staff! Caeda kills a Knight... She even dodges. Nice! ...and Luke rescues her into (relatively) safe territory. Oh...I didn't notice he had a Javelin. I was hoping I could counterkill him. When it comes back to us, Caeda destroys the easternmost Knight., while Linde does the same with the westernmost. Catria defeats one of the Bishops, gaining a pretty good level. Now... : ... : ...Iguanadon. : What's wrong? : I...may have strategized myself into a corner here. : This isn't a favorable scenario. I have a plan that might work, but... : ...Frey might die. : ...really? : OK, here's the breakdown: Luke can survive one attack from any source. As can Catria. Caeda can survive both Knights or the Bishop. Frey and Ogma can both survive one attack from any source. Bottom line is, both Knights need to die. The plan: Ogma kills this Knight, and Luke heals him. Frey attacks this Knight, since no one else can reach him. If he crits, the knight dies, and Caeda and Catria are safe. If he crits on the first attack or dodges the counterattack, he lives. Barst and Ryan move into these spaces to protect Linde. : All in all, it's a terrible plan. There are so many things that can go wrong...but I can't think of anything better. : Of course, even in the worst-case scenario...Frey is probably our only casualty. The question is...are you willing to do it? : ...I once sacrificed myself for my country and Prince. I'm willing to do it again. : Thank you. : Wait, if you sacrificed yourself, how are you- : Long story. I may tell you, someday...presuming I make it out of here. We give the order... HE DODGES. HE DODGES. Still, no crit...he, Caeda, and Catria are still in danger... All according to plan...all according to plan... All according to plan... Alllllllll according to plan... OH NO OH NO IT'S THE ENEMY'S TURN THAT BISHOP WILL KILL US ALL He... He healed. He healed the Knight. He's the most dangerous enemy here, and he healed the knight. He healed the Knight. HE HEALED THE KNIGHT! THANK YOU STUPIDITY OF FIRE EMBLEM AI!! SMACK RYAN ALL YOU WANT, YOU CAN'T KILL HIM!! YOU ONLY MAKE THE MYM-RYAN-DON STRONGER! BARST, HAVE A KILL. IT'S TWO STATS, BUT ONE IS SKILL, SO IT'S OK. I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW. TAKE THIS YOU T-REX! YOU PTEROSAUR! YOU TRICERATOPS! YOU FRUMIOUS BANDERSNATCH!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS LUCK?! If this is an apology for that one HP Castor level, you're overcompensating. Not complaining, but still. Phew...so...Caeda draws out the Mage. She dodges, to boot. Now, she could easily one-round Lang, but we have other units more deserving of the experience. Like Linde, for example. : ... : Haha! See? See!? Lang is whittled down, first by Catria... Ah, playing the Guile card, I see. At least he offers a fairly plausible excuse. I imagine he's pretending to put down his weapon, and expecting Catria to do the same. They could have made it clearer, though. I also think it would have worked better if he said something like, "You're not falling for this, are you?" He misses. Pathetic. As I was saying, Lang is whittled down, first by Catria, next by James... Magic! Speed! ...and Linde snatches the kill. More speed! Yay! Cancer! : Everyone, I'm here! Now, we'll strike down Lang, together- : ...where's Lang? : Oh, we took care of him already. : That was...quick. : Yes, his knight lackeys were more of a threat than he was. : Frey almost died. : I'd...rather not talk about that.

Canonically, they just beat him up and left him to die upon discovering he wasn't actually Marth. He proceeded to not die. My brother made this my default screen behind my back. I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or award him the Nobel Prize. Post-Battle + 6x Battle: Spoiler You know, the smiling blink portrait actually looks really relieved, which is appropriate for this situation. Not for me; I've consumed entertainment media before. Thanks to my supreme tactical skills, we've collected all the Starshards so far. By "some of our comrades," you mean Wrys. No, Samto doesn't count. He was an enemy with a face. Of course! Naturally, the lives of the soldiers fighting for us will be higher priority than the ones of those fighting against us. Always go for the paralogues, Marth. Our team for today. Is it, though? To start us off, Marth kills this Knight. Caeda weakens a Fighter, gaining a good level. It's official: highest Strength on the team. : Gimme a break, OK? She's a few levels higher than me. I'll catch up! Anyway...Matthis picks him off. Ryan weakens the other Fighter, dodging the counterattack, to boot. Everybody else gets in defensive formation. Roro, having a ranged weapon and all, targets Caeda. I have an interesting little headcanon about Roro. You see, that's not actually his real name. It's a nickname he came up with because "Eineine" is kind of embarrassing. He misses, of course. Even with the nerfed dodge rates, Caeda's avoid is pretty much the highest in the game. Can you just imagine Caeda with normal dodge? 60 avoid at level 10 or so. I think they may have changed the formula just for her. An assassin shoots at Ryan, but he dodges. As expected. Matthis, sadly, fails to, but his two extra points of defense soften the blow a little. Ow. Wow. That's a lot of damage. This map was really boring, and I'm having trouble making it interesting. Pow. Wait, what happened to the Fighter-nevermind. Sadly, he ends Ryan's dodging streak. For that, he must die. Frey heals up and continues to choke the point. Yes, I'm killing Caesar. He's aggressive, so he'll just suicide onto the nearest unit on his turn, unless I unequip everyone's weapons which would lead to possible death on their part. This may surprise you, but I value the lives of my own soldiers more than those of two recruitable enemies that I'd almost never use anyway. At least Radd had a cool name and a cute portrait. Hey, it could be worse. You could be a Fire Emblem: Fates character. See? His death was justified. Caeda kills a man. As does Ryan. Nice. Barst contracts Cancer...from the convoy. Chug chug chug. It's the best stat and the two stats that nobody calls attention to but you really want ticking up in the background. You don't look so Radd to me. Ryan proves once and for all that he is the better Myrmidon. Whose name starts with R. ...WAIT A MINUTE. HAS IT BEEN SPELLED M-Y-R-M THE WHOLE TIME? Triceratops I thought it m-y-m-r all my life. I've been pronouncing it wrong all my life and will probably continue to do so. ... ...uh...hate to break it to you, kid... Now, it's just clean-up. Oh, and the boss. Of course, we have Caeda, so...yeah, it's clean-up. Meh. Then Marth seizes. Archaeopteryx this chapter. If they were Communists, I'm glad we killed them. : Glory to capitalism! It's not quite as bad as the alternatives! That's a rather casual way to say it. You know, it's never truly explained how Roro does this. Magic? Other people taking on the role? An inverse version of multiple personality disorder? Plus, with his mask and unsettling way of speech, you'd be forgiven for thinking he wasn't human. He's altogether very creepy. Oh no. An epic one. I'm pretty sure that went beyond offending. Don't even consider having done something different, though. He is. Jagen's just an archetypal mentor figure, and he's great at it. If it means we can field him again, I'm all for it. I'd make a remark about hogging all the attention, but I think this is a nice conversation between Marth's retainers. If the MyUnit is supposed to be me, he definitely doesn't have a hidden genius. Also, this. Death Counter: Wrys Samto Caesar Radd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its annoying having to deal with those lemmings, which is why I went for the 1 turn on this one on my recent Maniac run. If your best potential flyers can kill Roro together, you can then take out one of the fighters blocking the eastern or western bridge, get someone to block the tile he was on, so when a staff bot on said bridge uses the rescue staff on Marth he will be put close enough to seize. 15 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Hey, it could be worse.

He was an enemy with a face. No, that doesn't mean you get away with it. Add him to the death count, you coward. ...ah, you already did. Good, good. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Is it, though? This can be a tough chapter. It's very puzzley. But not because it's difficult to survive or anything. It's because these two dummkopfs will commit suicide if you don't maneuver carefully. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: I have an interesting little headcanon about Roro. You see, that's not actually his real name. It's a nickname he came up with because "Eineine" is kind of embarrassing. He's Legion according to Awakening and later Heroes. Get it, 'cause there's a legion of him? Boooooring. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: This map was really boring, and I'm having trouble making it interesting. Oh, no worries, it's going to get a lot more entertaining in 3... 2... 1... 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Yes, I'm killing Caesar. He's aggressive, so he'll just suicide onto the nearest unit on his turn, unless I unequip everyone's weapons which would lead to possible death on their part. This may surprise you, but I value the lives of my own soldiers more than those of two recruitable enemies that I'd almost never use anyway. Oh, wait, so you did know about unequipping people's weapons! ...then why didn't you do it with Samto? You didn't lose anything there! There was no reason to kill him! You monster! 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Sadly, he ends Ryan's dodging streak. For that, he must die. There we go. These two are horrible keep alive, I swear. For this chapter, my strategy is to use Generals Arran and Sirius to block things while unarmed. With those two, I don't have to worry about them being harmed. They can tank their flimsy blades forever. I know, I know. You can't. You'll want to replay this game. It's a whole new world. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: See? His death was justified. DEFENSE he'll be invincible soon. You're right, he was a worthy sacrifice. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Ryan proves once and for all that he is the better Myrmidon. Whose name starts with R. ...WAIT A MINUTE. HAS IT BEEN SPELLED M-Y-R-M THE WHOLE TIME? Triceratops I thought it m-y-m-r all my life. I've been pronouncing it wrong all my life and will probably continue to do so. I thought the Ryan pun was too forced. Now I see why. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: ... ...uh...hate to break it to you, kid... Damn... I've sometimes killed one of these buffoons, but both of them? That line's kinda heartbreaking... 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: You know, it's never truly explained how Roro does this. Magic? Other people taking on the role? An inverse version of multiple personality disorder? Plus, with his mask and unsettling way of speech, you'd be forgiven for thinking he wasn't human. He's altogether very creepy. They do explain it. You'll find out next gaiden. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: If the MyUnit is supposed to be me, he definitely doesn't have a hidden genius. Well. Could be worse. Could be named after pastries.

I've pronounced it Mym-rih-don. Battle, Part 1: Spoiler Our team for today. For Starshard distribution, Matthis gets Cancer... ...Gordin gets Libra... ...Linde gets Aquarius... ...Arran gets Gemini... ...and Cecille gets Taurus. The map begins, and these two show up. Fast kills are Navarre's specialty. : ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) : Don't. You. Dare. I start off with them, so as to avoid the fate of Ogma and Friends in the Lost Save File. Feena can survive one attack, but no more, so it's imperative we get her into a safe pocket. Like this one. Navarre will attack, get danced, and attack again. Worst-case scenario--well, absolute worst-case scenario, he misses, and Feena dies. Assuming all attacks hit, worst-case, he doesn't crit, Feena takes an attack, and the other Thief is left unharmed. Best-case scenario... ...he crits twice. Nice. Less nice. Everyone else just moves up. Ow. Caeda destroys a Thief. Feena is...um. I...may have overestimated her movement. Bottom line is, she's in danger. : Don't worry! Luke's on the case! : Rescue staff, away! : Hmm...you know, we only have one use of that left. : Yeah, but Malicia can just fix it with her Hammer staff, right? Moving... You'd better not. Of course, if we do... Navarre manages to dodge the Archer this time. The other one...not so much. Cecille fights off a Thief. ...well, look's like Navarre's dead. Or, he would be, if not for Feena! See, saving her was a good idea! It doesn't look like we'll be able to get this Angelic Robe. Oh, well... Arran at least makes an effort. Gordin gets a kill, and Catria prepares to take on all of these Thieves. Ah, Triceratops. Ambush reinforcements. Hey, he dodges again. ...spoke too soon. Ow. More ow. ... Yeah, we're not getting those Thieves. Instead, Arran retreats to help defeat the Archers. Catria kills another Archer and chases after this batch of Thieves. If anything, we definitely need to get the Starshard. Even past the whole "good ending" thing, this one's Scorpio, aka. the +2 Speed one, aka. the best one. Arran gets mended. Linde, James, and Cecille team up on the Hunters. These guys are still a problem... ...which is why we brought Caeda, with her OP personal weapon! Up at the top, we're going to have to employ some complex strategies if we want to kill the Thieves. The three have just enough damage between them to kill Catria. However, we also have an Arran-Ace-in-the-hole. Catria can also use Camus' Pike on the hapless Mage, turning him into a non-issue. Also...this Knight with the Ridersbane can one-shot Caeda. So...yeah, we'll be bringing our Mages down for that. She even dodges the Cav. Keep being awesome, Caeda! Catria does some dodging of her own. Keep being awesome, Catria! Like that, yes. Now... : ... : She can't reach him. : I...think I just doomed humanity. I suppose we'll have to settle for a Master Seal. Rather than get the Starshard as I originally intended, Catria instead takes out the Mage with spectacular style. Nice. Feena also gets a level. It would be good, if it mattered. : Excellent. The only obstacle is out of the way. : HAHAHAHA! : You can't even hit me! You idiots! : Die before your princess! : ...I'd point out she's not technically their princess, but I value my life. : You can let me do it. I don't. : Marianne, who let you out of therapy? : Sorry. Uh...this is looking pretty bad... Nonononono... This is good and all, but I'd prefer if you used the good RNG on dodges, rather than crits... NO! : ... : Well, that's the first good unit to die. : Here's to hoping there won't be too many... Bottom line: the Ridersbane Knight needs to die. Right now. Good level. Arran can weaken this guy... ...and Cecille can finish him off. Pretty good level! We do need more Strength and Defense, though. Caeda kills the final Knight, sadly failing to dodge. : OK, we're in a pretty good situation. Caeda can regroup with the rest of the army, and then we just have the boss. We can do this- : NO! : NO! WHY?! NO!! ... ... TRICERATOPS! DIPLODOCUS! APATOSAURUS! STYRACHIOSAURUS! PTERODACTYL! PARASAUROLOPHUS! ORANGE JUICE!!! : Dear T-Rex...it's like Awakening with better map design. : OK, I'm done.

Bottom-line, she would never be opposed to this sort of behavior, so long as it led to more disposables for Marth. 17 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : Rescue staff, away! : Hmm...you know, we only have one use of that left. : Yeah, but Malicia can just fix it with her Hammer staff, right? Yeah, sure. Rescue is one of the best uses for hammerne in this game, anyway. That staff is just so useful in so many situation. You'll want to fix it up sooner than later, tho. Rescue is imperative in order to save two units later on. 17 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Of course, if we do... This is funny, actually, as Astram's aggresiveness increases with the difficulty. In normal difficulty, I'm fairly certain they never attack. In hard, they attack if you stand next to them. In maniac, they go after you if you move into their movement range. And in lunatic, well... they go after you, period. It's terrifying, to say the least. 17 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Or, he would be, if not for Feena! See, saving her was a good idea Hurray.

Can I just say that I don't like Marianne that much? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate depressed people for being depressed, but Marianne is just... written in such an anime-ish fashion. I much prefer Gilbert's portrayal of depression, personally, because he is written in a way that acknowledges that depressed people can and will hurt those around them. Not intentionally, but it's easy to make all the wrong choices when you're unable to think clearly. Depressed people are hard to deal with. Marianne isn't. She's protecc bait, like Bernadetta, if I may be blunt. Then again, I could be mistaken. I haven't looked at her supports. Maybe she's better than I'm giving her credit for. If anybody cares to change my mind, I welcome you to try. 17 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: NO! : ... Ah, crap... Well, time to use Palla, then! May I reiterate my previous suggestion that you use a different save slot when you finish the map? 17 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...and Cecille can finish him off. No, not another one, James!

That went way too awfully... it's a good thing this game has a ton of replacement units to spare. This shouldn't be a completely crippling loss, people like Sirius, Palla, Belf and Leiden... exist, so you should be able to patch your team up. So long as you can make it through this chapter. And, uh... the next. Seriously, you need to use a different save slot. Because as things stand, I fear you'll have an extremely difficult time beating the next chapter... it'll be possible, but... really difficult.

That's worth the lives of every good unit on my team. : Fun fact: that quote about insanity wasn't actually by Albert Einstein. Therefore, my strategy is flawless.

Nvm you'll be fine. All jokes aside, if you can just make it past next chapter, the game is going to start handing you replacements that should be enough to patch up your army.

I suppose I can't blame you for not being able to think straight in such a horrendous situation. Still, Feena's an extremely good Dancer, even as far as Dancers go. This is... not good, to say the least. ...I'm sorry. Perhaps I shouldn't play these maps so early in the morning. Quote It just dawned on me, Navarre is going to survive everyone. If you make it past this chapter, I request that you sacrifice him for good luck. Navarre cannot survive all these great characters. Even Feena is better than him. It just... cannot be...! Do you mean units or characters? Never-mind, it applies either way. Quote Man, Matthis of all people survived this nightmare. And after facing the boss, too. I'm so happy. Sorry to be so happy, but I'm so happy. I still wouldn't bet on his survival past the next chapter, but... You don't have to worry about that. I practiced an ancient tactical manuever known as... "Not Bringing Units With A High Risk Of Death." Quote Also, it seems I was mistaken about the Heroes attacking in this difficulty. Can I just say it would've been really funny if Marth died from you trying to get dramatic shots? Hey, convenient excuse to restart the chapter. I'd still discharge everybody, but then at least Marth wouldn't turn into a mish-mash of Dimitri and Keanu Reeves. Quote Good job! Now get the physic staff. Yeah, after he takes the physic staff, right? ...you have no idea that you get a physic staff by standing on the cave tile, do you...? ...well. YOU DIDN'T GET THE GODDAMNED PHYSIC STAFF, YOU'RE GOING TO DIE YOU FOOL : ... : Well, how was I supposed to know about it?! Quote Haah... haah... huff... sorry. It just... devastates me so much to see the run in such a deplorable state. You have base Sirius and Palla, a bunch of mediocre units, and three Mages (counting Wendell) who can't take a hit to face one of this game's hardest chapters. You have no ranged heals, no speed starshard, no Dancer, you can't recruit Roger so that's one more nuisance to deal with next time, you... : Hey, are you calling Frey, Barst, Mym-Ryan-Don and Highest-Strength-In-The-Army mediocre? : Not enough speed and no Starshard to boost it? : No 1 range options? : Poor defensive capabilities? : Why are you guys defending your mediocrity? : No, they're all pathetic. Compared to my Caeda...my poor, poor, Caeda... : You know, your tears would have more impact if you took off those ridiculous sunglasses. : Never. Quote All jokes aside, if you can just make it past next chapter, the game is going to start handing you replacements that should be enough to patch up your army. You just, well... have to make it past next chapter. Best of luck to you, my friend. May you prevail. If I could beat FE6 with thirty-something deaths, you can beat this. I believe in you! Thank you!

Who do you guys main? : I'm a Cloud main, he's a Luigi. : Nice.

Yeah. : If so, you should wash your hand. : I will. Battle, Part 1: Spoiler First and foremost, Barst gets the Secret Book. Hello, being able to hit things! Our team for today. As well as Starshard distribution. Any one not shown is with its last holder. I realize just before I start the map that we need to Hammer the Rescue staff, so Malicia takes Matthis' place. Oh, hey, Cain. Like we need more Cavaliers. Actually, we do. Hey, Cain! Being the only one with both the Defense to take a hit and the Speed to not get doubled, Frey takes the lead. Cain, meanwhile, goes after the Starshard Thief. Yes, I know we locked ourselves out of the good ending, but Strength +2 is good, if only for the next 6 chapters... Also, did you know that you only unlock General Arran the Male Class set merger if you get the True Ending? Yeah... Marth, meanwhile, makes his way to the village. Everyone else moves up. Oh, and Malicia does the one thing she's good for. See? Luke is a far superior Healer to you. Brontosaurus you. See that, Hardin? I'm swearing at you in dinosaurs that don't even exist! Frey dodges, but sadly doesn't crit. Cain slaps the Thief, and... ...grabs Leo! Gordin and Castor tag team the weakened Paladin. No level, sadly. Ryan attacks the Thief. I know, it's a lot of damage, but we have two healers on standby, and that's assuming it doesn't-- --backfire. Nice. Defensive positions! If you could call them that. Yay, Bantu! Still pretty bad, even with the Firestone, but he's a Dragon, so your argument is invalid. Enemy phase doesn't go so great for Castor. This is satisfying, though. Cain will block this spawn! Frey, who's only a few exp off from leveling, chips the Ridersbane Paladin. From a safe distance, of course. Nice. Gordin weakens him further... ...and Barst finishes him off. Palla weakens the other one, and shows us all why she's the best character in the game. Ryan picks him off, getting a similarly good level. Castor steels himself to face down Castor. Oh, you sons of velociraptors. ...what is that? Roger's link portrait is just...all sorts of weirdness. It's like watching armored mech suits slapfight. Cain retreats... ...for Palla to face the Cavaliers. : You go, Palla! : Existence is pain. I'd like to address that Roger is equal or better than Castorknight in every way. Sadly, Caeda's untimely demise means he gets to die too. Uh... Oh boy, a Vulnerary! Everyone moves. Aw, come on! She can't even one-round them! She calls herself the best character... : Hmm...I think I know what holding me back! : WHOEVER'S RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE EASTER BANNERS!! Wait what Oh phew I thought something was gonna happen. Take this! Double team! Critical hit! : Hey, a Ridersbane Knight-- : KiLL EveRY LaST OnE oF tHEM!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Complete with unnecessary critical. Marth's rage knows no bounds. Uh...Castor dies. Look at it this way. Would you rather it be Castor, or Matthis? Linde kills a man... Nice. Oh come on. Thankfully, Palla dodges. Frey makes sure Linde's safe in Nosferatu-land. Luke levels. That's not Magic...but at the same time, if we were to reclass him, he'd be a halfway-decent combat unit. Ow No doubles, so she's safe. ...really, Frey? Our turn goes well. Very well. ...isn't...Marth...some 20 tiles away? Has anyone here seen Shazam? You know the scene. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--oh. She dodged. Still, that'll teach me to not check damages. Wait wha Excuse me? ...you know, when I was playing this map, I was thinking, "Why is this considered so hard? It's not that much worse than the last." Then, this happened. Now, we must kill Jeorge. Or at least, we would, if there was any way for Marth not to die in this situation. Hey, he crit. So...yeah. If Marth's death had been from plain bad luck or faulty tactics, I'd probably discharge Castor and Gordin after the reset. This, on the other hand? This was me utilizing a strategy that failed because of of a ridiculous upturn I had no way of knowing. Besides looking it up, but I try to keep that to a minimum. Castor and Gordin get to live, and I can go into the level knowing about the moving heroes before they spring that cheap shot on me, and actually have a chance of winning the chapter. If there's unanimous outcry, I can discharge them, but I think this is a reasonable course of action. So...yeah. See you tomorrow.

And their fashion sense is impeccable. 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Cain slaps the Thief, and... ...grabs Leo! That's nice! Strength is always appreciated.

That's not the way to Jeorge... 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Still pretty bad, even with the Firestone, but he's a Dragon, so your argument is invalid. How I wish it was. Bantu's a likeable character and unique among his kind (when was the last time we had an old man for the game's manakete, instead of a loli?), but he's simply... the worst unit in the game. Period. Some guys come close to him, but even they have some things going for them. Even if it's just "comes with a silver". This dude doesn't even have anything to offer. Not only that, but he's completely out of the way in a chapter that you simply cannot beat if you take much longer than 8 turns. It's a detriment to get him. He has, quite literally, everything going against him. 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Cain will block this spawn! Oh, n-- what?! Why'd you do this?! Didn't you listen to the multiple warnings that the characters provided in the dialogue?! You're not supposed to employ the Dimitri strategy here, man! You need to run! RUN!!

Naga save these misguided souls...! 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: I'd like to address that Roger is equal or better than Castorknight in every way. Yeah, a shame he only listens to a firm pair of tiddies, eh? 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Everyone moves. ...n-no...! Not that way...! Why!? Why cannot I save you from yourself...?! 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Wait what Oh phew I thought something was gonna happen. All jokes aside now, I love how you read this and completely ignored the blatant "hurry up or you die" warning. I'm sorry if I sound cruel, but this is pretty obvious. 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : Hey, a Ridersbane Knight-- : KiLL EveRY LaST OnE oF tHEM!! This mindset will be the end of you, Marth. In exactly... 2 turns? 1 turn? I haven't been keeping count. 5 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Look at it this way. Would you rather it be Castor, or Matthis?

Castor and Gordin get to live, and I can go into the level knowing about the moving heroes before they spring that cheap shot on me, and actually have a chance of winning the chapter. a ridiculous upturn I had no way of knowing. ...hoo, boy. Rant incoming. If I ever sound overly aggressive, please accept my apologies. I'm not the kind of guy to defend cheap shots in these games. Heck, I knocked a few points off of Three Houses for its frequent use of them (no, Divine Pulse is not a good enough excuse, that's just lazy game design). But this isn't a cheap shot. You were warned. A lot. As soon as the pre-chapter narration, the game's already telling you that you're in a pretty bad situation. It establishes that you're escaping. Not mounting a defense, not retreating to a more advantageous spot, it outright says you're escaping. Then, in the conversation with Cain, Marth says, and I quote, "don't worry. We will crush them", but Cain retorts that there's no chance of winning, and that the only way to live is to head to Jeorge's fortress to take a boat to Khadein. Now, up to this point, I won't deny that it's perfectly possible to take all of this the wrong way. Cain seems to mean that you can't beat Hardin, and Hardin alone (nothing about the rest of the enemies), and there have been plenty of instances in the series of escape chapters where you really are in no hurry to escape. But then Jagen says this line! Quote Jagen: Sire, the free company to the south will probably make their move soon. Indeed, now's not the time to fight. For the time being, let's do as Cain suggests and make our escape. After that, we'll think of something... The game outright tells you before the chapter that the Heroes will begin moving soon, that you should haul ass to the seize tile, and that this chapter is not about fighting. And that's not even all of it! In case you forget, Hardin's increasingly ominous lines are there to remind you that you probably should get out of there sooner than later. Once again, I'm sorry if I'm being too blunt, but this isn't a cheap shot. A cheap shot is, for example, what happens in Three Houses, where Spoiler Killing Petra in the post-timeskip battle at Gronder Field (Blue Lions route) causes the entire hill in the middle of the map to go up in flames, wounding every unit standing there and preventing them from moving for a turn, making them easy pickings for Claude and his troupé of idiots. You get no warning that that's going to happen, no visual hint that it's dangerous to remain in that area, not even so much as an allussion in the dialogue that the enemy might be planning anything of this sort. Here? You were given plenty of warnings that you shouldn't stick around and fight. Now, that being said, I'm perfectly okay with letting Gordin and Castor live. I understand why you're upset. But... dang, I'm sorry, this is my favourite FE game, and it hurts to see it being insulted unfoundedly like this. I won't defend things like ambush reinforcements, those are bullshit not matter how you look at them. But what happened here wasn't bad design. You paid no mind to the warnings. And that's fine, I'm not going to call you names or anything for a few honest mistakes; but those mistakes are not the game's fault. Phew... okay, rant over. I'm really sorry, I got a little carried away there. Bottom-line, yeah, I'm okay with Castor and Gordin living. But please, don't blame the game for something that is not its fault. And once more, please forgive me if I was too blunt there. I'm not trying to hurt anybody's feelings here. Just trying to defend my favourite game here, is all.

Oh boy the first warning of the Bad Things to come. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Cain slaps the Thief, and... ...grabs Leo! Honestly if this were a worse star shard I would suggest you ignore it and run (as you have missed the star orb already). 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Defensive positions! If you could call them that. Its a good idea to setup a rear guard, but you have got to keep moving... 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Cain will block this spawn! I kinda like this strat, but you are playing with fire. Cain can only just barely outrun the rest of the reinforcements not to mention the heroes. A flyer could creatively avoid the danger here by moving onto the water, but you probably will want Palla's help breaking through the north. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Everyone moves. ...You've really got to keep moving, having Palla weaken the pursuit is a good idea, as she can move quickly and make escapes others cannot, but those infantry have got to keep moving north. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Wait what Oh phew I thought something was gonna happen. Oh no... you ignored the second warning of Bad Things to come... this is going to be bad isn't it. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: : Hey, a Ridersbane Knight-- : KiLL EveRY LaST OnE oF tHEM!! KEEP MOVING NORTH...Oh Deinonychus this will be a slaughter. On a side note I do like this change in Marth as I always imagine an FE11 Marth that gets all the gaiden chapters has to be a lunatic like that. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...isn't...Marth...some 20 tiles away? The third warning... and the army is right in the hero's range. This will not be pretty. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Now, we must kill Jeorge. Ok, the game is actually being a bit of a jerk with their pre-battle convos here, Marth can also recruit Jeorge, and it probably should have hinted at that fact somewhere. 8 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: This, on the other hand? This was me utilizing a strategy that failed because of of a ridiculous upturn I had no way of knowing. Besides looking it up, but I try to keep that to a minimum. The game gave you plenty of warning for this one, but if you just aren't getting the hints its going to feel unfair (and in some sense be unfair) when the hammer falls. 9 hours ago, KnightOfNohr said: Castor and Gordin get to live, and I can go into the level knowing about the moving heroes before they spring that cheap shot on me, and actually have a chance of winning the chapter. If there's unanimous outcry, I can discharge them, but I think this is a reasonable course of action. I am of two minds about this due to the concept of Ironman having two separate origins for Fire Emblem. On the one hand an Ironman was Kaga's original vision for how these games aught to be played, but I do not think he intended for there to be extra rules and penalties attached to game overs, so if this is an Iron man inspired by the way Kaga intended it to be then of course you should keep them. If you are taking after the more modern challenge run style Ironman, than you should retire Castor after the chapter (still use him in the chapter as there is no reason to hamstring yourself), as he died before the Hero's starting moving, or even became an issue. You can make it through this, just keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightOfNohr Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 18 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: You weren't paying attention; you were clearly warned, so be nice to the game. Yeah, fair enough. On my second go around, I actually read the dialogue and was astounded by my own stupidity. It would have been helpful for Plebeians Like Me if the objective was something like "Escape Within 10 Turns," but that'd be a bit hand-holdy. I usually default to such a defensive mindset in Fire Emblem games that hurrying like this didn't really sink in. So, I'm sorry for being a bit fussy in my fit of rage. Also, what's with 3H's obsession with randomly setting everything on fire? First this, then Spoiler Chapter 14--at least on BE-Church. I'm not sure if it happens on the other routes. : OK, I fixed it. : Huh? Who are you? What do you mean, "you fixed it?" : I was just passing through, and I saw you die. So, I used my time reversal powers (which are as ridiculously unbalanced as you'd expect) to reset the battle. : That doesn't answer the question: WhO aRE YoU!?! : Ah, sorry. My name's Byleth; I used to be a teacher, but now I'm an inter-dimensional avenger with the power of god and Anime on my side, on a righteous quest to kill every : version of [Spoilers] because that [Censored] killed my [Spoilers]! : Um...Byleth? : Yes? : I've played your game, and I don't think she's responsible for-- : SHE IS TOO RESPONSIBLE YOU [CENSORED] APOLOGIST! Were you not paying attention to [Spoilers]?! : ...she doesn't like them any more than you do, Byleth-- : Never-mind. I know I can't change your mind, and I have about 73 more s to kill. So long, [Censored]s! : Well...that was...odd. : Between the s and the [Censored]s, I couldn't understand half of what she was talking about. Spoiler Last round's disastrous performance has inspired me to swap out Castor for Sirius. First of all, this is the moment I started feeling really dumb. Second of all: "Captain, what are you doing?" "Showing them compassion." This is the moment I started to feel really, really dumb. Yes, I can tell. Note: since I will be completing this chapter as fast as humanly possible, Bantu will be skipped. It turns out, Tiki is only recruitable if you have the Starsphere, so... Look familiar? ... OK, no Leo for us. Very familiar... Very familiar... Familiarly bad. Moving... Haha...yeah. That round of combat plays out exactly the same as last time. Barst grabs his Hand Axe and prepares to fight the other Paladins... ...while Linde and Frey take care of this one. More Speed would be nice, but still pretty good! The Firestone Thief is dealt with, more or less just for EXP. Defense...nice. That hurt! That didn't. Tag team! Skill! Speed! ...what. Frey earns just enough EXP to get a mediocre level. : I'm going after Roger. : ...what? : I've wanted to kill him for 2 years. Look! It's the Ambush Brigade! : Barst, you can get the kill. Yeah, whatever. Hey, does anyone know what determines which directions the characters face on the top screen? Everyone moves up, because I've learned my lesson. Ow. Ow. Not likely. Palla launches a tactical strike on this poor Sniper. This poor Sniper. Don't worry, Frey can take a hit from the General. As long as the others aren't activated, we'll be fine. Voila! Ryan hands Gemini over to Sirius so he can one-shot this Mage. Everyone else moves up. Aaaaaaah. See? He's fine. So's Sirius. ...They moved. : Don't worry! I have a brilliant plan! : With Frey and Barst blocking two options, both spaces Gordin could get dropped into are exactly 5 spaces away from Jeorge! : Rescue staff, AWAY! Not magic, but it doesn't matter, because Luke just saved us all! Sweet victory! Hmm...something's wrong with this image... Perfect. Long time no see They do? : Hey, best Strength in the army. : Tied for best Strength in the army. : With a Fighter, aka. a big bundle of Strength, and nothing else. : ...15 skill, though. : 13. The book doesn't count. If that's too much trouble, could you...just...step out of the way for a moment? YES! YES! WE DID IT! LO HICIMOS* WE DID IT! *Spanish for "We did it." Presumably.

I will now confusingly call him Shadow Dragon Gaiden Marth henceforth. For a less confusing name, try "Dimitri Marth." 22 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: Ergh... Not sure if it's intentional or not, but... the whole update's in italics, and it's also hidden inside the many, many spoilers that aren't even actual spoilers. Just saying. Well, the spoilers were because I used [Spoilers] to denote Three Houses spoilers, but that made actual spoiler tabs, so... On the other hand, I don't know what was going on with the italics. 22 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: ...may I take back those regards and the "good job"? I'm sorry, the original line was too kinky for my tastes. 22 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: That is it, indeed. Congratz. My years of watching Dora have indeed taught me much. On that topic, has anyone here seen the new Dora movie? It's hard for me to take seriously, what with being a live-action adaption of DORA THE EXPLORER, of all things. First off, the fact that the tagline is "Explorer is her middle name." NO IT'S NOT. IT'S HER LAST NAME. DON'T TRY TO TELL ME HER NAME IS "DORA EXPLORER EXPLORER." Oh, and Boots isn't even wearing Boots. IT'S IN HIS NAME! ...I don't know what's worse: this, or the fact that Disney's making four Avatar sequels. Spoiler I'm showing this Linde/MU conversation because...well, I low-key ship them. No, I don't have a crush on Linde. ...excuse me for a moment. I'm sorry. Fun fact: this is one of three justifications for Magic users' arbitrary ability to bypass desert movement penalties. The others are floating a few inches above the ground (Awakening 4Koma) and magically causing the sand to move out of the way (Path of Radiance base conversation). Guess who fielded an army consisting entirely of Mages and flyers? In proud FE12 LP tradition, I reclass our Cavaliers into Mymridons for the D e S e R t L e V e L. Also, Sirius (who is technically not a Cav) summons a dragon from nowhere. Our team and starshards for today. Hey, not necessarily. He could have pteranodon--ed up the Starshards and have no reason to waste time recruiting you with a squadron of overpowered Heroes on his tail. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing. Right, good thing. This is a good conversation. Michalis is a pretty good villain. See? I'll not make the same mistake again! Now, Ruben and Eltosian both agreed this isn't too bad; I should be able to compete it without much difficulty-- triceratops OK, round 2. Palla draws first blood by murdering this Thief and nabbing a handy Master Seal. Everyone else moves up, quickly, but cautiously. Sirius just barely fails to one-shot this Thief. How pathetic. Arran would have one-shotted him. ...oh, Arran... Matthis steels himself to fight the oncoming Dracoknight. Ow Gordin finishes him off on his turn, gaining... ... You got Speed last time, Gordy! I'm disappointed in you! Palla, sadly, fails to double this Thief. : Perhaps I'd do better if you LET ME OUT OF THIS BUNNY COSTUME! Sirius finishes the other one off, gaining a decent level. Arran's still better. The other Dracoknight is tag-teamed by Linde and Ryan. Positions... Ryan gets hurt pretty bad, but thankfully, there are no more mages in range. Aaaaaaaand everyone triggers. Oh, and Marth can't reach Etzel. I was hoping we could get through this without using a Rescue staff. : Rescue staff, AWAY! : Are you going to do that every time? : Uh...not if you don't want me too! : No, no. Go ahead. You delusions of heroism amuse me. : ... That's not Magic. Laziness inspired me to use last attempt's pictures for this conversation. : Lies! NOTHING BUT LIES! They invaded us...they took away my Caeda...and for that, I will crush Archanea. I will burn it down and salt its metaphorical fields. : No empire, built on blood, shall grow there again. You have my word. : ...sure, why not. Etzel joins our team with a bang, criticalling this hapless Mage. Gordin, sadly, fails to do so, despite better odds. : OK, guys: let's all call Gordin "Gordo" when he fails. Spain doesn't exist in Fire Emblem, so he'll think it's just slightly mocking nickname. : Like "Deku," come to think of it-- : K E E P Y O U R A N I M E O U T O F T H I S! Matthis gets the kill instead. Linde and Ryan once again team up. Not bad! Our formation on the Western Front. Meanwhile, Palla kills this Thief before he murders Minerva. Meh. Ow, that hurt. He even misses. Way to go, Barst. ... : ... : Guess who's got a Viking hat and is getting used! Marth does a EPIC GAMER DODGE. Etzel gets smacked. Palla continues being on Thief duty. *Obligatory yoink joke* OH BOY. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Etzel weakens a mage... ...for Matthis to kill. James picks off the Dracoknight, gaining a beautiful level. Frey and Linde defeat a Mage... (Decent level. Speed is good) ...and Ryan finishes the last one. ...Linde's in Dracoknight range. Shield formation, activate! Marth dodges the bugs. The dragon attacks Etzel, but he just barely survives. He crits in return, too. Thank you, Jagen. You're a much clearer mid-battle warn-er than Hardin. Though I suppose you are working for us. If by "hasten the march," you mean, "stay back until we're safe from bugs." Yay, Magic. Buzz buzz. Wendell gets a level. ...hey, is that-- : 5 P O I N T S! You know about mosquito bites? Imagine if those hurt. That's Swarm. Buz buz motherT-rex. Palla kills a Buzzbrain from a safe distance. Palla, have you tried bugspray? : HAVE YOU TRIED LETTING ME HAVE A NORMAL OUTFIT : OK, coast is clear! Meh. Just in time, too. It's the Ambush Brigade! Wendell does some shopping. Isn't Bolganone a fire spell...? Aw, what does he know. He's named after an Alpine form of singing. ...not great. Marth seizes, and the chapter concludes.

Have you seen the state of your army, man? Minerva's a godsend for you right now! You use rescue for everything already, why not this? 31 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Now, Ruben and Eltosian both agreed this isn't too bad No, I only said it's not as bad as the other desert map. It's still difficult. 31 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Sirius finishes the other one off, gaining a decent level. Arran's still better. Aye, he was, he was... 32 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: That's not Magic. If only he could fight with his staff... 33 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Etzel joins our team with a bang, criticalling this hapless Mage. Ah, Etzel. I love this man. He's a great character, he's got a great design, and he's a great unit in this game. Best Mage in the game, bar none, sporting great bases, great ranks (Excalibur at base!), decent bulk for a Mage... he's just all sorts of awesome. 35 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: : OK, guys: let's all call Gordin "Gordo" when he fails. Spain doesn't exist in Fire Emblem, so he'll think it's just slightly mocking nickname. Well, at least you're not like Japan, using random Spanish words as names. I still haven't forgotten Warrior the Berserker, guys. 36 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: : ... : Guess who's got a Viking hat and is getting used! On the one hand, this is yet another competent of your team that's dead, and Minerva was skipped so you can't even have her replace him. On the other hand, Dice! You must also use Malice, then. That's Maris in this translation. There was a new one in progress, but I'm fairly certain it will never go anywhere. 37 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: OH BOY. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Everyone has so much movement in this game (even Generals), that there's really no point in giving this to anyone other than Marth or Feena, and Feena is dead, so... yeah. Marth it is. Meme would be to give it to your General, if you ever actually start using one, so they can go the distance. 38 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: The dragon attacks Etzel, but he just barely survives. Pictured, why Etzel is awesome. A lesser Mage would've died. 40 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Thank you, Jagen. You're a much clearer mid-battle warn-er than Hardin. Though I suppose you are working for us. Yes, except for the part where he gives this warning like 12 turns before it actually happens. 41 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: Isn't Bolganone a fire spell...? Aw, what does he know. He's named after an Alpine form of singing. He's also the namesake of a playable Bishop from FE6. Which I feel is more relevant, this being a FE forum and all. 42 minutes ago, KnightOfNohr said: ...not great. He's rather strong for a Myrmidon. I wouldn't fret, he's good still.

He could have pteranodon--ed up the Starshards and have no reason to waste time recruiting you with a squadron of overpowered Heroes on his tail. With Minerva being my favorite Archanean character this saddens me. As for the timing with the Heroes you should just barely have enough time if you don't use a rescue staff, but if you end up taking parts of it a bit slow you want either the staff use, use fliers to distract the leading heroes, or... 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Now, Ruben and Eltosian both agreed this isn't too bad; I should be able to compete it without much difficulty-- triceratops OK, round 2. I more meant it as this wasn't the desert chapter that has a reputation for its brutality. Honestly that other desert chapter was the most difficult chapter in the game for me on my first run, and I still despise it to this day. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: : No empire, built on blood, shall grow there again. You have my word. Oh the irony of those words coming from the future ruler of the continent. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: Linde and Ryan once again team up. Despite your shipping preference Ryan and Linde are proving to an effective dynamic duo. 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: : ... Oh not one of them Axey Boys. Now both the triangle attack are broken forever :( 1 hour ago, KnightOfNohr said: OH BOY. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. I am going to go with the boring-est answer and say Marth, due to both villages and thrones requiring his presence. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: If only he could fight with his staff...
