Hah! Well, I can't blame you. I'd want to say it to me, too.

The apotheosys was when you claimed to need an english-dubbed version of that Pinocchio's video to get the meaning behind it (in the context of Pelleas' scene)

Replenishing is too cheap. Repairing weapons requires materials, why is it so much easier to repair stride? Make replenishing battalions more expensive based on the battalion. Maybe have them require things to be repaired, too, like weapons. Also could make it so battalions die forever, so you have to be careful with them. Just a few ideas.

  That is a criticism I'll agree with to some degree, I remember more than a few times where I was left with a bit left and I wanted to avoid being less than that if I really needed to buy/forge something.

In a game where the random battles will give money every time, I think I agree.

There's a few other points: What things? Because some resources are enough of a bitch to get that that would have to be accounted for. And permadeath would be an issue in a game with casual mode, sad as it is to say.

Too much, in my opinion. I know it's due to class skills, but 2 warps per unit that replenish every map is just absurd.

Again, I feel mixed about this.

Plenty of games with Warp staves have Hammerne.

Even FE8 had the creature campaign to... sorta justify the chests in Lyon's map.

Yep, this is also true.

Ahhhh, I understand what you're saying.

Also, Hyrooz Wyrmspeaker of the Ligma would be the best villain in games. A shame.

Hyrooz will just have to be part of FE 20 at this rate.

Oh, I absolutely agree there. Though, to be honest, if somebody from Thracia deserves to show up in Genealogy, it's not Reinhardt - it's Saias.

I mean, I'd like both.

4 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:

I'm kinda torn when it comes to this. On the one hand, the huge maps are part of the game's identity... but on the other hand, they're the reason I hesitate to try it. So... Yeah.

C'mon, try it (Wurtz clip)

Did what? Stop giving him credit? You're talking about the Samson thing? That was dumb too - They did the complete opposite! They took credit from him for things he DID do!

I meant the adventuring off on the seas.

Maybe they reached Lazberia at some point.

Anyway, the map. We have to defend the green flag. The initial opposition is... downright pathetic, to the point where they don't even give us much experience because they're underleveled. These are only the elites, though - around turn 20, the entirely ordinary men will arrive. That's when we'll want to get the hell outta dodge, as the escape point will appear in turn 20, on the flag. Still, there's really not that much to this map. Like I said last update, this is the calm before the storm.

What is the logic of the elites being weaker than the regular troops?

Elite was a euphemism for something else?

Why are they here then?

Vw39fosa o

Weiserjn oWe aren't going to be playing by his rules any longer. Are you with me?

Vkwzpjfv oNow and forever, my liege. I will follow you to the world's end, if that is where you lead me. More than twenty thousand men loyal to the old Leia are ready to pledge themselves to your cause.

Weiserjn oNow, we only need to wait for the perfect time to call them to arms. So long as the Berwick League continues to do a good job occupying Faisal, that time will come soon.

Txzubig9 o Oho... It seems the Empire is having internal issues! If you've forgotten, this right here is the reason we're losing hard. He killed King Mordias, he drove Volcyboy and company to Navarron, he berned the stool... If this guy, of all guys, turns coat... Who knows.

On the one hand, his plan and goal are a bit more generic.

On the other, I have to give credit that at least he's actually stabbing the theocrary in the back rather than what was going on with Sephiran's plan in RD.

And Zephyrus alone can't be so OP that we'll see him actually take the win, right? We're not going to suddenly see him take out Chaos and turn Raze into Razed?

(Oh god that might actually happen and Reese's role really was just as errand boy the whole fucking time, don't spoil me but if I'm not wrong I'm going to be so disappointed.)

17 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:

Vkwzpjfv oVery well, sir. I will tell the others to hold their current positions. If the enemy comes within range, however, they will have no choice but to engage them.

Lgjkwhcy o This sounds familiar... Now, the question is: do these guys play by Normal or Lunatic Jeorge/Astram rules?

Neither, it'll be War Phase Gronder. Where they charge the moment you come to the hill in the middle and move so fast you'll have to face them.

Oh boy, is a mistake here going to be the cause of all our sorrows?

17 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:
An07rq3l oUkaabluy o

These are Zephyrus's generics. I mean, just a single one of these dudes looks like hell to fight. And there's like 10.

That's 17 Def on generics with a lot of move.

Are we sure these didn't migrate from another game and we can just see their shields now?

17 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:
Iv9cszbx oLqdipw7o oMh0dcjqv oTd6k76zs o

Then there's Zephyrus and Arcturus. Yeah... I mean, if it's not clear enough, the game doesn't want you to fight these monsters. In fact, I'm pretty sure even if we somehow managed to win, they're immortal. So... Yeop. I don't know if they chase you if you step in their range, and I'm not about to find out. I'll mark 'em up with flags and avoid them like the plague.

Is there going to be any way you can level the playing field?

I'm not sure there is, not even Sylvis.

Also, Adrasteia. KDIF again?

Incidentally, this frame looks weird to me. It's like his arm is weirdly bent inwards. I don't like it, something about it seems rather unsettling to me.

Is it just the angle of the shot and the arm is stretched out at a normal angle? It'd be plausible but with the way the bracer looks I'm not so sure now.

(Also it turns out Awakening wasn't even first for limb nubs. :P)

Andersen is your bog standard general. He carries a scary sword and a material. Beyond that, he's the same deal as all the other generals we've seen.

Well that's disappointing, I was expecting something a bit wilder.

Did he get lumped in with the rest as punishment for something?

35 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:
Bebvewug o

Lastly, take a look at this guy. I haven't talked about it yet, so here's how the Aleck and Morton sidequest works:

I'm pretty sure there's a chance that this guy is either Aleck or Morton. How can I find out? Easy: I let him come to me. If he whacks me, he's bad. If he ignores me and continues moving towards the escape point, he's good and I let him continue forward.

Yeah... You can imagine how easy it is to forget about this in the heat of the battle.

KAGA DAMMIT, AT LEAST YOU HAD ARKIS'S STATS TO TELL YOU.

AT LEAST TELEMACHUS HAD MERCY.

COME ON TO FUCK MAN.

Egeh3fh6 o

Oh, please, another knight? I mean, I could always take a sneak peek at the enemy data sheet in Serenes to see who Genos's friends are. But that'd be cheating.

...Well, okay, I did take a tiny, insignificant look. Pretty sure it's around here that the first arrives, but well, I'm not sure if it's the one from last turn or this one. Or maybe it's the next one! Either way, we'll have to find out the hard way.

Good luck, I'm not bothered to argue this.

...Oh man. What if he gets even more spear points!? Goodness, maybe the dream's really not dead yet! We still stand a chance... Yes...! GO, ADEL! DO IT! GET MORE SPEAR POINTS! MAKE LUMIERE PROUD! DO IT...!

Cue the theme music.

It was a weird day taking part in the other thread, but hey apparently I liked it..

Sadly the one match we've been waiting to see for ages was awful and the side I was watching for got buried in the second half. Missing a load of forwards hurt, but despite good form before the lockdown it still feels like they're a bit behind the curve repeatedly.

Moving on, course is definitely tedious.

An argument I've had with other collectors about CGC graded comics. They're "worth more" because they're preserved in a hard plastic slab that prevents any degradation.... but at the same time you can't read them. At which point you may as well not have them at all. Why own something if you can't enjoy it?

Fun fact about tigers. They can use infra-sound to produce fear in their prey... or even a stun a macaque so it falls out of a tree. Fact is, a tiger isn't just dangerous because of it's claws and teeth, but it's vocal cords. After all, a predator that can paralyze you or cause you fear before you're even aware of it's presence so as to force mistakes... is not an easy target.

I guess that really was an uneventful map. I can't actually come up with any jokes for once. Guess I'll have to wait for the second half.

To be fair, it's not so common to be noticeable in game (and one of the best examples I'd point out between two of the player cast is dead), but still. I also solved Burrough's costs; 3800 for the ballista, 70 per bolt. Also also, this was a mess of a job, apologies for being bad.)

...Wow. That's... actually legit genius. I hadn't thought of that. My regards.

Honestly, it was pretty much a suggestion made in jest. Although with the other TRS references in that sidequest, I suppose it's not a possibility to be written off.

But I do have been wondering where the name Raze Empire comes from if the founders of the Lazberian Empire were Zoans and not Razelians.

The team. I learned on the other thread that apparently you can bench Ward? Not sure how, since every time I try to move him the game just tells me "no man, you can't move Ward from the second spot". I guess I have to go to the army menu and make him inactive or something.

To remove Ward, you have to swap him with a unit outside the deploy limit. As the game says "If Ward is deployed, he has to be in the 2nd slot." So switching him with other deployed units won't work. So let's say you have a deployment limit of 10, then you have to swap Ward with someone between slots 11 and 16.
If the deployment limit is 16, aka the whole active party, you have to manually reduce the numbers of deployed units with the shoulder buttons before you can kick Ward out.

Not that I'd want to. Why would you bench the Endgame Beard?

Well, it allows you to try out different approaches on like the 4th run or so, which is nice.
At least in theory. Given that Ward has side objectives in like a million maps anyway.

I mean, if you want a 4 move knight, you only needed to dismount Reese or Ward.

But yeah, Marcel can actually be useful in chapter 14 now.

I won't be able to move Adel in time, so he gets Guarded by Marcel. Ward will escape first, and then there'll be no chance of the poleax killing any of my horses.

...Except there is, because Reese couldn't escape. But that's fine, that's fine. I have a plan.

Dismounting Ward and putting him between the Poleaxe and Reese?

How did you know my voi- oh right, you watched my youtube vids.

That and you introduced yourself at the start of the video.

Well anyways, it was a new experience to go and record some lines for Inheritance. It was pretty fun.

I'm glad it was. To be honest, I didn't find the hack to be all that appealing, but still. Good effort, that much I can see. And they have death portraits! That's kinda cool.

Fuck.

Fork.

I don't know. It's just known as Kappa everywhere.

Actually looked it up, a programmer for Twitch it seems. And many of them had easter egg emotes, that was his.

Ahhh, so that's the origins of that. Go figure.

Oh shit oh fuck. You left him to his privacy to insert the sword into his p**hole? Check the guy's quarters! He might be dead...

You know, even if he's dead, I think it's for the best to leave him be. It was probably the best night of his life anyway.

Reese is a father now????

Dude, that's so insensitive. Sister-In-Heat's dead, she can't make him a father.

That is a pretty cool change. A late one, but a good one.

Yeah, I wish I'd found out about this sooner. The maps up until now worked, but now they look good too!

Nice. Would it be too much to ask for 1 or even 2 more on this map?

Well...

Jesus Christ that's amazing...

One of these days I gotta do a gif of his spear spinning. It's pretty funny.

Anyway, yeah. You thought I was kidding when I said he's Endgame Ready? He may not break the game in half, but he never falls off. The most he does is become slightly less awesome than some of the other units. And considering the losses I've suffered, he doesn't even face much competition in this run.

Ooooh... the story is looking interesting now.

This is the point where it starts to escalate for real. Look forward to the near future.

I can see what you mean. It does look weird.

Glad I'm not alone there.

I admit, I initially saw that as 2500...

Why, you--

What the... hell?! That's amazing!!

Arthur is kind of a mixed bag. On the one hand, he misses sometimes. On the other, his stats are starting to get quite close to Clifford's. He can't use lances, of course, and he's garbage with spears, but... hey.

That's pretty cool I guess. If only she could disappear like that when she is in trouble.

Pfft... Then Faramir would be out of a job!

Huh? Wait ok. Up above you also had another word like "noone" (but I don't remember which) and it was also space-less, is this an error or a new lp joke?

An error. Hey, I'm sorry. English is a fickle language. Why is everyone correct but noone isn't? Makes no sense to me.

Sounds important.

It's... really just a regular ol' material.

Holy crap. That's really cool for him.

That's Rodin for ya. He has no time to chat, but he has plenty of time to kick ass.

Wait he had 3 move before?

Yeah. Kaga don't like knights.

I thought he had 4! Oh well. That still looks so sweet!

Right? I can scarcely believe it myself. He has officially promoted into Fangame Knight. Because every modern fangame worth its money increases knight movement.

...Except Sun God's Wrath. Sun God's Wrath gave every knight movement skills. One had higher move indoors, the other outdoors, one got a boost from being near cavalry units, and then there's the one with Remove. To be honest, I think both are good solutions, but SGW's is more fun.

Niiiiiiice.

That is the right amount of "i"s.

oh my god...

I know, right? But it worked out in my favor!

That's good suspense. Sadly I know how these things go. He won't get Spear Points. I mean, unless the bracket system starts pushing it up, I guess.

Actually, skill isn't affected by the bracket system. And if the level is otherwise empty, the chance of getting spear points becomes even higher. He stands a good chance!

  That is a criticism I'll agree with to some degree, I remember more than a few times where I was left with a bit left and I wanted to avoid being less than that if I really needed to buy/forge something.

In a game where the random battles will give money every time, I think I agree.

Exactly, there needs to be some sort of other requirement, or at the very least increase the price.

There's a few other points: What things? Because some resources are enough of a bitch to get that that would have to be accounted for. And permadeath would be an issue in a game with casual mode, sad as it is to say.

Honestly, I'd go for making them work like Berwick horses. They are difficult to heal, and when they run out, that's it; but on the other hand, they're more durable. I think battalions are readily available enough that this could work. And it'd make things like stride extremely important to protect.

Only problem is that it would break battalion-based skills. But, to be honest, I think those worked pretty badly as it is.

Again, I feel mixed about this.

Plenty of games with Warp staves have Hammerne.

True enough, but Hammerne is a limited resource that you may want to spend elsewhere.

Yep, this is also true.

Not that they make much more sense, don't get me wrong. A single angelic robe and master seal were stuff nobody was going to bring a thief into the final chapter for, even if they were planning on doing the CC. Heck, even if you somehow have a combat-viable Colm you probably want him doing things, not wasting his time with useless chests.

Is this going to be like Thanos for when he bothers to leave his chair only less satisfying?

Patience. All in due time.

Hyrooz will just have to be part of FE 20 at this rate.

Pffft...

I mean, I'd like both.

Yeah, me too. I just meant that if there's one that absolutely has to be added, I feel Saias has the most potential not only for his own character, but also for others.

C'mon, try it (Wurtz clip)

One day, one day.

I meant the adventuring off on the seas.

Maybe they reached Lazberia at some point.

Huh... That's a fair point. I mean, the fairy tale had to have come to be in some way.

Chapter 9.

Oh, right. Now I feel stupid. I thought about that, obviously, but I couldn't understand the connection, so I figured I must've been missing something.

This Genos

That's just Geno.

I didn't know about that one. And, hey, close enough for a reference.

I thought you'd ask if this was a reference.

Nope. It flew so far above my head, I didn't even realize it was a reference at all.

It is.

Hahahahaha... All right, that's pretty funny.

Even Scrooge McDuck isn't completely heartless.

Yeah, I guess he's not quite, for a guy who literally swims in money.

Gop5dbda o@Ward_of_Sinon: I am having a good day for once and I have to thank my good friend @ErzieWerzy for being such a loverly chum.

Rbclvnd4 o@ErzieWerzy: Quite, my good "chum" @Ward_of_Sinon, it was an experience drinking with your lovely self that's for sure. #WineBesties

Was that right Clara?

Implying it wasn't Clara herself writing tweets on Erzheimer's behalf, like all the politicians do.

What is the logic of the elites being weaker than the regular troops?

Elite was a euphemism for something else?

It's a reference to the time Vester was an idiot and described Alvina's troops as "entirely ordinary men". Remember that? I sure do. Still bitter.

This is what Berwick's reduced us to, being happy to see spear points.

Thanks, Adel.

3H ambush spawn out of nowhere.

(Though I don't think it's so cruel to send a ton of WLs at once).

Well, it really isn't, but that's because they don't attack.

Why are they here then?

......

Good question.

On the one hand, his plan and goal are a bit more generic.

On the other, I have to give credit that at least he's actually stabbing the theocrary in the back rather than what was going on with Sephiran's plan in RD.

Sephiran's plan was the most contrived thing in the world.

And Zephyrus alone can't be so OP that we'll see him actually take the win, right? We're not going to suddenly see him take out Chaos and turn Raze into Razed?

(Oh god that might actually happen and Reese's role really was just as errand boy the whole fucking time, don't spoil me but if I'm not wrong I'm going to be so disappointed.)

Don't be so pessimistic. Have some faith, all right?

Neither, it'll be War Phase Gronder. Where they charge the moment you come to the hill in the middle and move so fast you'll have to face them.

Does the hill explode, leaving all my units crippled?

Oh boy, is a mistake here going to be the cause of all our sorrows?

Not looking like it so far. But there's still plenty of map left for me to fuck up.

That's 17 Def on generics with a lot of move.

Are we sure these didn't migrate from another game and we can just see their shields now?

Heh... Sure feels like it, don't it?

Is there going to be any way you can level the playing field?

Yes. You don't enter the playing field. Then the odds are in our favor, because the OP squad won't take the fight to us.

I'm not sure there is, not even Sylvis.

Oh no, Sylvis would be turned into mincemeat if she tried. Clifford, too. Anyone!

...Maybe not Derrick, actually. Derrick stands a chance because he's very powerful, like that.

Also, Adrasteia. KDIF again?

Close enough.

We know who wears the pants in that hypothetical relationship.

Uhhhhhhhh

As I showed in that one image already.

SUR.png.fd52002604eac41957b8c200082390b8.png

Funnily enough, she is the one wearing pants here. I've that weird battle skirt + plate chausses combo that all generals use.

Is it just the angle of the shot and the arm is stretched out at a normal angle? It'd be plausible but with the way the bracer looks I'm not so sure now.

The bracer's just making it look weird, is all.

(Also it turns out Awakening wasn't even first for limb nubs. :P)

Hey, pixel art do be like that.

Apparently hail to the king.

K looks like a huge asshole.

Jeez, now she can flashstep?

Not now. She could always. I just never had the chance to show it off.

And it's not even that short a distance, I am terrified she could just do that on command.

Oh yeah, Faye's kinda scary when she's not getting murdered. Turns out the strangest swordfighting style in the history of mankind is actually rather effective.

I guess that's something?

Definitely.

I see that meme with Jeremy Clarkson infiltrated here too.

Hah! I'm aware of the meme, but I actually did it by accident.

I'd still feel a bit at ease going for it.

Then again, this is Berwick Saga (I feel like making a parody of This is America now).

You would feel at ease. I'm the one who's lost units to single-digit chances in the past, multiple times. At this point I'm bound to be scared of anything.

That's not good this chapter, is it?

He's really squishy, yeah. 27 HP + 2 def is Burroughs-tier defenses. And Burroughs isn't exactly known for his tankiness.

Will he run away on his own?

Instantly after he's spoken too.

You weren't kidding about the tiger running.

No, I was not.

Clearly it had the same speed as Mordecai, poor thing didn't stand a chance.

Oh no, what if he hunted Mordecai? No...!

Gszklxwb oSee you again, General dude.

(fify)

Pffffft!

SPEEDY MARCELES!

I love this moniker.

Here we go indeed.

Gotta go fast!

- Marcel, probably.

Well that's disappointing, I was expecting something a bit wilder.

He's not part of the elites.

Did he get lumped in with the rest as punishment for something?

Maybe he's just impatient. Surely seems so, from his dialogue. He ran ahead of everyone else because he just can't wait to get to Vanmilion.

KAGA DAMMIT, AT LEAST YOU HAD ARKIS'S STATS TO TELL YOU.

AT LEAST TELEMACHUS HAD MERCY.

COME ON TO FUCK MAN.

Kaga accidentally made a masterpiece in the middle of trying to avoid lawsuits. He had to make the player suffer somehow! Otherwise he wouldn't be content!

Good luck, I'm not bothered to argue this.

You shouldn't be.

That, now that's cool.

That's Sylvis for ya. The coolest gal in the continent.

Cue the theme music.

My favorite!

It was a weird day taking part in the other thread, but hey apparently I liked it..

That is the most half-hearted way to express one's enjoyment I've ever seen.

Sadly the one match we've been waiting to see for ages was awful and the side I was watching for got buried in the second half. Missing a load of forwards hurt, but despite good form before the lockdown it still feels like they're a bit behind the curve repeatedly.

By match, do you mean... sports match? I'm sorry, if you didn't know, I am kind of a lost cause when it comes to sports. The most excited I've been about sports is... Actually, just this morning, when I was playing Mario Strikers Charged and the piece of shit AI bodied me in the quarterfinals. Again.

Ruben from the future here! I've beaten the Strikers Cup since I wrote this. It was... satisfying.

Moving on, course is definitely tedious.

My condolences.

Double shot, double pun. Sherlock always works in twos. Except when he works in threes every six turns.

Heheheheheheh... He worked in twos until he promoted. That's when he decided to go above and beyond.

Ow! The Edge.

Hahahahahaha I remember that!

Is this Kaga low-key joking about how Noseferatu/Resire was a spell for Sisters (clerics)/Saints in Gaiden, but went on to be dark magic? Because I can't help but suspect.

Probably just a coincidence, but still. Wouldn't be the first time. Don't forget, in the game's code, Adel is called Kein.

I love how this managed to carry over from last LP. Zach's lament was exZachly right. He was forgotten after the war.

Runan, too... And Eugen! Of all things, it was Holmes fucking about the world wasting his time that made it into the legends. Hmph... Eugen should punch all these people. And Holmes, too, for good measure.

You forgot to pick up a certain brace. (though by the time I'm posting this, you have the new update up... so I'm going to look like I peaked ahead if I'm right but I promise I didn't, and if I'm wrong, that'll prove it).

Damn, that was a good guess! My regards.

Wait.. so Axel's helping Alex get stock for Erzie?

Dangit... I made the mistake both times Alex was mentioned, but I only noticed it once...

Even as a collector I can't picture paying that sort of price for anything. Mind, the rarest items in my collection are all there by fluke... so take that as you will.

Erzheimer has too much money. I mean, he doesn't even know how much he pays for his things, that's how little he cares. I wonder where he gets all that cash... Even the biggest of inheritances wouldn't explain this absurd amount of dough. Connections to Valery, perhaps?

An argument I've had with other collectors about CGC graded comics. They're "worth more" because they're preserved in a hard plastic slab that prevents any degradation.... but at the same time you can't read them. At which point you may as well not have them at all. Why own something if you can't enjoy it?

I agree. Art pieces and stuff like that, you'd rather preserve as intact as possible, because they're meant to just be seen. But what good is something like a comic book (or a wine bottle, in Erzie's case) if it's just sitting there?

Reiss was guaranteed first Axe-cess on all sales.

Hwahahahahahah... I'm sure Reiss would approve of this pun.

4f7glult oI do!

9qk5ifz8 o See? What is your opinion, Pejj?

Bey0rny7 o...Are you gonna purchase some spears, or what?

Oh... it was in this update. Never mind.

Yep.

Fun fact about tigers. They can use infra-sound to produce fear in their prey... or even a stun a macaque so it falls out of a tree. Fact is, a tiger isn't just dangerous because of it's claws and teeth, but it's vocal cords. After all, a predator that can paralyze you or cause you fear before you're even aware of it's presence so as to force mistakes... is not an easy target.

Yeah, but don't forget. This is Rodin we're talking about.

I guess that really was an uneventful map. I can't actually come up with any jokes for once. Guess I'll have to wait for the second half.

Second part features a few more events.

(Note, while writing this I found another issue with berwick

Oh please...

and I hate to say it, but there's a sense of same face syndrome to some degree. To be fair, it's not so common to be noticeable in game (and one of the best examples I'd point out between two of the player cast is dead), but still.

So this is an issue with Berwick... Except it's really not significant enough to be an issue. I swear, sometimes it's like you want to get me ranting.

To be entirely forthcoming with you (and at risk of sounding like I'm blindly defending the game as usual), I'm trying to see it, and... Well, I don't see it. Portrait reuse, fine, the game does do that, despite the absurd amount of unused portraits (I wonder why they did that with both this one and TRS). Same-armor syndrome, sure, it's clear they reused their armor designs quite often (and their beards, at times). But I don't see the same-face syndrome anywhere. Certainly not among player units.

I can't even find the example you're referring to. The closest I can come up with is Christine and Sylvis, but the only thing they have in common is their eyes kinda? The lips are different, the hair is different, Christine's expression is sadder... Even their poses are different. Really doesn't qualify as "same-face syndrome" in my opinion.

For reference, a game that I'd say suffers from same-face syndrome is FE4, where young Oifey looks like Claud's son, Holyn looks like Noish but with his face slightly tilted upwards-- Heck, scratch that, Noish and Finn have literally the same face, and half of the second generation have the exact same expression (girls and boys both). Unfair to criticize such an old game? Not really, considering both Thracia and Mystery managed to sidestep this issue. It's only 4 that suffers from it, in my humble opinion.

So... Yeah. Could you please tell me the example you're talking about? I'm really trying to find it, but I can't. Maybe I've just lower standards for what constitutes a different face than you do.

I also solved Burrough's costs; 3800 for the ballista, 70 per bolt. Also also, this was a mess of a job, apologies for being bad.)

Don't worry about it.

Honestly, it was pretty much a suggestion made in jest. Although with the other TRS references in that sidequest, I suppose it's not a possibility to be written off.

Yeah, of course.

But I do have been wondering where the name Raze Empire comes from if the founders of the Lazberian Empire were Zoans and not Razelians.

Apparently it's supposed to come from the Laz in Lazveria. Hence Veria. Not sure why it was changed to Raze, to be honest.

To remove Ward, you have to swap him with a unit outside the deploy limit. As the game says "If Ward is deployed, he has to be in the 2nd slot." So switching him with other deployed units won't work. So let's say you have a deployment limit of 10, then you have to swap Ward with someone between slots 11 and 16.
If the deployment limit is 16, aka the whole active party, you have to manually reduce the numbers of deployed units with the shoulder buttons before you can kick Ward out.

Ahh, I understand. Well, it's not like I would do it. I like Ward, and besides, with all the losses I've suffered, he's a legit good option.

Well, it allows you to try out different approaches on like the 4th run or so, which is nice.
At least in theory. Given that Ward has side objectives in like a million maps anyway.

Yeah, it's not easy to bench Ward.

Soooo... why are they sending people through the ravine again when they have armies of fliers at their disposal?

Because gotta make the lives of the janissaries absolutely miserable so everyone knows they're the bad guys.

I see. Because purple Volcens is an idiot too. Gotya.

Walcens.

Oh, they will chase you. Not sure if they will keep chasing you after the point they normally run off, but until then their attack range is basically an instant Game Over zone.

Good to know I made the right call.

Well, they DO have the same Spear growth. Except Ward starts 25 points ahead.

Really? I'm pretty sure Ward's gotten more points in combat than Adel. How odd...

Oh hey, pretty impressive for someone with 10 less Bow skill then base Esteban.

...seriously, why is this guy so weak? And he uses a fancy Apollyon but crappy Stone Arrows?

He's so skilled, he likes to challenge himself by using bad arrows.

I mean, if you want a 4 move knight, you only needed to dismount Reese or Ward.

Don't be like that.

But yeah, Marcel can actually be useful in chapter 14 now.

He can make it past the starting area. Go figure.

Dismounting Ward and putting him between the Poleaxe and Reese?

...Okay, that'd be good too, but...

Or this, I suppose.

Yeah, my solution works as well, see?

 

 

 

Ha made you look:

Spoiler
Set06tsm o

D'ohhhhhhhhhhh, Adel! Well, no matter. 3 points left. 3 points I can manage. Maybe.

Rsbai7rv o

Andersen is almost on us. I'll have to figure out how to deal with him.

Xw89xew9 o

But first, let's get rid of a brave crossbow.

Ikugeb2y oLbwkahlh o

Yes, good.

Mg2uz0rv oYhlonrho o

Arthur-- Arthur fails. Because he just likes to do that sometimes.

Bt3ruraz oW8xfim8z o6aswegeq o

All right, Arthur. Thank you very much.

4yktqhgk o

Nice, more accuracy to make it more unlikely for this to happen again.

Femanmkz oMcy3jujj oFdg1jmlu o

Faye finishes the job.

Qch7xpf0 o

Finally, Marcel gets a new shield! About time...

Yq5droaa o

Oh, God... There we go. There's the lancer.

Tad9yz0q o

I hate you. I hate your brethren. Why can't I have one of you? Adel...!

Y9yvmtlo o

Adel goes south.

Jhhyagoe o

Welp, 11% chance to lose Faye yet again.

Vazqnqjz o

Oh, man.

Kwavwzyr o

Hoo! Oh, thank goodness...

Udapje30 o

Aleck or Morton, whoever it is, continues his great escape. If it wasn't clear enough already, the fact that he spared Owen makes it obvious enough.

Hcufwsgg o1tiokv0s o

And now, before anything else, it's time to down the lancer before he can send my units flying.

Wsacim65 o

One more turn, and it's boss time.

Y3osdeoi o

Let's check out these two knights.

Vm9zk4a6 o

One of them is carrying the meme axe. It drops, I guess in case Seamus's sidequest was skipped. As it is, that's a gambit that I'd rather not take.

Pipztlog o

So let's just finish this fucker and be done with it.

Onrxxmbo oWs4ck2bl oRrjcdxdg o

Hell yeah. My maths aren't great, I failed to realize he would've lived if he used his shield. Thankfully, Sylvis is too epic to fail like that.

Kzjgo2hf o

Anyway-- Wait, what? That... That knight didn't attack Faye, either! What the hell!?

Fglekga6 o

Well... okay, that may look like absolute bullshit at first glance, but if we take a glance at the battle forecast, we can see he has no chance to hit Faye. No enemies attack when they've no chance to land the blow, whereas that other knight had a decent shot at a healer and didn't take it.

That, and I'm not sure when he comes, but I know for a fact that the second of Genos's friends is not here yet. So yeah. This guy is going down.

6gtcxozz o

HORSEMEN!?

Dxwjh2yw o

Here's the deal. I'll place Owen here with holy. That should deal a little bit of damage to Andersen. Get us started.

9glb6ua2 o

Suddenly, night time!

Phw6oq5j o

...Excuse me? Why Adel instead of the healer?

Lzx5ot1c o

Zqi9kjr7 oWhich are you, I wonder?

Uqc7zo0c o

Actually, I'm thinking that he's made the right choice. Adel will not get through that shield--

H24blq3o oI'm too fast for you, that's what I am!

Zqi9kjr7 o...! Wha--

4bk2bznv o

Never mind, he bad. Hah! You so bad, Andersen! Andersen, more like... Noobensen. Yeah.

Z4wfvked o

Zqi9kjr7 oGrrrrr... I can't believe it! Hey, you! Back there! What are you waiting for!? Attack!

Imo6lznz o......

Zqi9kjr7 oSoldier! Where in the world are you going!? What are you thinking!? Come and help me!

Imo6lznz o...Help yourself, Razite scum.

Zqi9kjr7 o...! Damnit, I knew enlisting janissaries was a bad idea!

68thicvu oDcjtqsln o

And now, we pepper him with magical attacks.

Hwjnmpin oY1tqkza3 o

Are you serious, Sylvis?

0ut8nc0i o

Oh look, the dude who didn't attack Faye is attacking Reese. Way to blow your cover, man.

Jjox6pff oFuzzndqr o

That's what you get.

Ujdxukrh o

A crossbowman is attempting to get to Andersen. Let's not allow him any reinforcments. A general is enough trouble alone.

Ham3uzbm o8gfwfarz o

Marcel, dude! Just because you move at the pace of regular infantry doesn't mean you get to start slacking off!

Cvh4wfzp o

I've an idea. Faye picks up the levin sword that Marcel has been carrying around forever. Too inaccurate to use it.

E0j0ol8j o

Faye can handle it, though!

Ymekhfad oKlnbfeom oGiitksxr oS1xdvzbx o

Hwahahahahahahah! There goes his whole healthbar.

Rsgr2yxk oDto4gepd o

Burroughs finishes the crossbowman behind Andersen.

Kkm4b80g o

Accuracy!

Pctsyjzd o

Yaayyyy accuracy!

Qsrgb4ff o

You would swing your blade at Reese? Then be prepared to face the wrath of his most endgame-ready subordinate!

Pfttwb1p oJs5jc7g0 oKz9rziy3 oQiemtt5t o

Oh wow, that gave him experience. Go figure. I thought he was incapable of getting any. I mean, not literally, but effectively. It's been 34.5 maps at this point, and he's still by far the highest-level unit in the army.

Tqi1kdvu o

Reese begins to work on one of the horsemen.

Drgkotlt o

No crit, sadly.

Lbyvmds8 o

Arthur finishes, then.

Mdcbcnqh o

Arthur! ArthuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR!! Stop taking the piss already! This is a disgrace!

2ru9ya8y o

Okay then. Shield Sylvis alongside Reese. Not that you'll be able to do much shielding from horsemen. Sigh...

Uamvtnlu oMwhw8e7o o

For the final attack of the turn: Axel Mjöllnirs Andersen.

Nxeffl60 o

Never mind, it's not the final attack, because I decided it was a brilliant idea to get up in Andersen's face and hit him with a spear. Why? Because I'm a complete idiot and didn't realize that he destroys half of Adel's health bar, that's why!

Seep3jlf o

It's incredible. It really does feel as though there's some sort of cosmic entity whose mision in life is to protect Adel from my shitty tactical decisions.

Xf2gvxch o

And that makes turn 15-- No! No, no, no! Not another lancer! Please...!

Eqdem81m o

Okay, so here's the plan. I'm going to kill Andersen with Adel for experience.

Djk8ji3l oItoodhoi oYp45oyus o

Mission failed. I'd reset, but he doesn't give Adel a full level, so I can't justify the savescumming.

Gs4xam6o oE80qhu0f o

Oh boy. Scary.

Mwtsnqhz o

And the other one healed! That's wonderful.

Xlingmvw o

Let's deal with them. Hastily so, if at all possible.

Xr9pekma oYe6pot6z o

What is happening!? Why does everyone refuse to harm these assholes!? Horsemen! Accursed... horsemen!

9ghpadcx oWhoa! That coulda been bad. I guess praying to the Lord every night paid off in the end.

J31ftqng o

Kwwaaaahhhh! My waifu I mean my sniper!

9ghpadcx oHeh... It doesn't matter how wicked I am by day. One little prayer, and I'm untouchable. God sure is a sucker.

Ugg0cmtj oTsk, tsk...

Imbcex8j o

9ghpadcx oWhat!?

Ugg0cmtj oI don't dig liars, mate. Have fun tossin' dem arrows at the heathens! Heh heh... See, Honeypeaches? I deliver justice to those that deserve it! Ain't I a great guy? C'mon... How many more millennia must I wait for you to admit it? I'm a patient guy, but...

Oaash4gb oThe restraining order, Raze...

Ugg0cmtj oOh yeah, that thing. How does that even work? We're literal gods...

Oaash4gb oYou'll be a literal pile of ash after I zap you.

Ugg0cmtj oI gotcha. Catch ya later, Sweetbuns!

Oaash4gb o...Urgh...

Zyyiyzsu o

That was absolutely hilarious. Oh, and look! Andersen took the bait! A bit later than I'd expected, but he did!

Y8kvv7h2 o

Heh...

Xvrsywma o

AHAH! YOU HAVE FALLEN RIGHT INTO MY TRAP!

8kn4nlze oJb7a1594 o4carhk2c o

Good.

Jte0udr3 o

I'd spare this guy, for the heck of it, but he drops his sniper arrows, so I won't.

1oc1tvsf oHubvsoec o

Arthur redemption arc.

Tlgukppz o

Damn, almost at a level again!

Qakrdrq6 o

I didn't miss the sniper arrow drop, that was the archer with a bow. Anyway, what's that lancer doing? Why go there instead of coming closer to us? If his intent is to get more charge damage, I'm afraid he's miscalculated. He can't even reach us from there.

Dkgnm62f o

Just one strike is what I want.

Bbl91nbt oKrhssif9 o

Good enough.

0nxp02d9 oIr906pbg o

Jesus, losing his bow has made him way too dodgy.

6gjy6wzn o

Well, no matter. Next turn, next turn. Another healer and two cavaliers. Eesh...

9fdtqgib o

Run, Sylvis, run! You cannot afford to get knight'd.

Xwdgmb3p o

I mean, neither can Adel, but-- GAAAHHHH No! Axel! Adel's boss kill!

Tkxxvttg o

Oh, phew... That's actually kinda good. Except now Axel is half dead. Which isn't good. As a matter of fact, it is absolutely terrible.

Fdqtdgtx o

Morton/Aleck continues to run towards freedom.

6fpygoli o

Can Adel manage this before Canto'ing away? It'd be wonderful to nab those arrows...

H8lsxflw oM6lwritb o

Heheh... Heck yeah.

Gty1klug o

You can never have too many of these.

Gpovcxfb o2ocrjrr0 o

Pfft. Laughable!

X4hs3yuu o

I mean, so is that, but that is to be expected. Knights in this game have too much defense.

D1snaacy o

I'm not really sure why Reese is circling around the hill.

X0awuxy5 o

Hmm... Not too bad, actually.

Okxqylnj oOegroi1h oXz4upxzn o

Really? Not a crit, a miss?

Xzyfzzt3 o

Quite diverse troops for this turn's reinforcements.

H6qnf97f o

...Well, I do believe our first move is quite obvious.

Wkzlw269 o

Yeop.

Rgcvxwg6 o5fpgfjwt oLnhw4hsv oBlu4efy4 o

Faye does her thing. Wow, that's a frame-perfect screenshot of her dodge! How did I do that?

Abkuzhfb o

Ergh... I'd love to get rid of this guy, but...

L9machbl o

...Yeah, better be careful.

Yubjluaw o16ivqg7b o

Okay, Adel. Just like before. Bypass the shield!

Kh5jxsqy o

Zqi9kjr7 oNot this time!

Crig5spx o

H24blq3o oMaybe next time?

Zqi9kjr7 oGraaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Qk65r6h6 oWpmu5yuf o

H24blq3o oAuuugh...! N-No...!

Bcljisl5 o

H24blq3o oJust kidding. I can attack you from way overhere!

Zqi9kjr7 oW-What!? This is impossible!

Qtvg0ivh o

About time, jeez.

72tthwmj o

Ah, don't feel too bad about it. I'm bound to make a stupid mistake at some point.

Gws1mczp o

Awesome! So close to another level!

6o3heian o

But we already have Ruby! Ah, well, can never have too many of these, I suppose.

G4ctts2i oRrzydhyt o

Fortify time.

Uvpbitfv o

Awesome.

Sjlyrqcf oF10fkcko o

Here, Ward. Have another shield to tank.

Znlcqdk1 o

Axel will retreat. I want only the tankiest members of the team to stick around.

3sntkt2q o

Oh God...! Adel, get outta there!

D28jfgqp o

Oh, what?

Mshq7ec2 o

It's a paladin! No way, these are so rare...! Well, unless it works differently in the Empire.

Vs5h83wl oCmokqvut o

Oh my God he's amazing. Any chance this'll be the other friendly? Any at all?

Hakcs7rg o

Okay, okay, let's not lose focus. Adel has to run.

Ghc0yzzi o

...hoo, boy...

4u5rc8vt o7xslw2yi o

Shieeeeeet...!

Dbsteops o

Cavaliers are closing in, too... I need to kill that lancer fast!

Qvrh7sds o

Oh hey. Genos's friend has revealed his true colors. Green and silver, to be precise.

4her51yh o

Off he goes.

36risdis oPencbmon o

Okay, lanceman. Your days are numbered!

Fizm3ixw o

Shit...

Quguzzml o

Quick, Ward. Clock the guy before leaving.

3nhjeyzd o

No, what!? I can't afford this, that fool is too powerful!

1u9t7b54 o

'Kay, then. Arthur will do it.

Nmukqcvk o

Damnit...

Oj8bptkr o

Oh, Jesus Christ... The two cavaliers are flanking us.

Vsplfrik o

Okay, focus. First, the lance. Then, the spears.

Rmifjxf9 oS0xibawp o

Good job, Reese.

Ktfxifh2 o

Eyyy! Make it a good one.

Guqfwrkd o

All right, way to go, Reese!

Whoypeqm o

That's quite the decent horse.

Ya4xhynn o

Okay... not looking that bad. Could certainly be worse.

0dbr9x48 o

Oh boy, a boss.

Rui4husb oNvgczja9 o

...O-Oh, boy, another boss...

R3qy2hfv o

...GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Nopsvata oOqskjw9u o

There we go, folks. These are the elites we've been waiting for. Imagine if we were still on that end of the map. Hah! Jimukha won't be able to do much alone, but anyone who's still around when Wallenstein's army of lancers arrives is dead, no two ways about it.

Ectjtiit o

I'd like to point this person out.

Vugvadbj o

Trimier is a mystery. She has no dialogue or battle quotes, no relevance to anyone's character arc, holds no interesting items, has no skills and is, overall, nothing more than a generic horseman who for some reason has Christine's class, a name and a really cool portrait. Seriously, why does this rando have that portrait? She looks like she could easily be the game's protagonist!

Bvwjpa5w o

Well, anyway.

Dw3vs6ps o

Trap in America, and all those things.

Rbdoabjj o6pijlqvc oYo3qv3d6 o

Yeah, no. Leave my ballistician alone.

Vtn4gvx7 oNuczpdjy o

...Oh, goodness...

Ozupaq2k oM7ysbaf1 oQrfdgrrq o51l51ln6 o

Fuck, no! What!?

Mwg8t6ai o

Wha-- Oh, hey! This third cavalier didn't attack Adel! You know what that means. We've found Aleck. Not that... that changes much about our... currently shitty-ass situation.

Axnnqv81 o

Please die, everyone.

Nnwcogmh oN0pgmkys o

Hell yeah, that's the stuff!

Uj8jdfpt oEswlxchu o

...That's not the stuff.

Pjfjnhkh o

That's nOT THE STUFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRHGHNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

R5tziwde oShinc4kl o

Oh, in the name of... Nooo, seriously?!

0zqaif0g o

You're joking! It's turn 19! This is as big a reset as I could get! I... Ohh, d'ohh...

Uu71mlke o

'Aight, then. We're back here.

86nfzfyy oEsmo6nnb o

Gotta do this again...

T2g2outk oQh6qq8sp oHdfv3pxt o7g66gxeb o

Oh, how considerate of Adel! He instantly dealt with Andersen this time around!

3ypzn5nn o

Clifford's daughter obtained!

Clifford is dead.

6xsqpedq o

Oh, come the fuck on... Get a grip! You haven't died yet in this timeline, you fool!

Meoilxpy oYou know, tactician, of all the insanity that you spew, that has to be the most unsettling I've heard as of yet.

Lgjkwhcy o Unsettling is right. Four turns down the drain... Now stop missing if you don't want to die again.

Meoilxpy o...Again...?

Wp3tpeen oKpuazzrg o

Ward and Adel get the job done instead.

Bpwksqts o

Hurray. Again.

Pbq43hxz oXwp6y0rs o

Time to flee once again. Better luck this time, us.

Y1to0wzm o

Hmmmmm... That could yield spear points...!

Ookhuvzw o15e4mdfo o

Bleh-- Whoa! He just... he just got through the shield? Impressive, Adel!

Dtfzapvr o

You know what? Why the hell not. Let's try hurting these guys a bit.

Twzreoqh oDxbf2ylb o

Meh.

Mlxwmbmy o

Eyyyy!

Q1i00kpd o

Okay, let's continue running now.

Xdqnchdq oPog7cr3p o

Why? Why would I do this? I don't understand!

Zazttmv3 o

Thankfully, the knights are both angry at other units, so Marcel wasn't attacked.

Dricjpjl oW2anr6xc o

...No, seriously though. Even if it's working. Why in the everloving fuck am I fighting these idiots?

P2mlfj2p o

This ain't great.

D6g9ruxg oQyszwmc4 o

Of course, that was too much luck already.

Uytbjauv o

Oohhh, God... What was I thinking!? It's so frustrating! I don't even know what my thought process was, here!

Qldlwqes oDkeayjlz o

Well, if we're gonna do this, might as well win.

Ffskelj4 o2jhxcoww o

Yeah, there we go. Good job, everyone!

O1yyb8xl oAxcalonc o

Worse than the last. But... Meh. It's all right.

Vxqp8nbx o

Okay...

Mkpkdmu0 o

OOOKAYYY

6ge4vi5g o

Hngh...! Miss...?

Zmseuur0 o

Nope, just a weird screenshot.

Xyxhxlmd o

Great. We lose again.

Zjlwgqu2 o

...Or not! Hah!

Rduktg67 o

Oh, dear...

Oluqhd0d oEdqveuew o

Hahahahahahahah! Fool! You can't--

Kldqshxp oPgwzrynm o

NOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Bfwdshhg oKwoxzudn o

You! You have to die now!

Rf99ovfc oOxwy2nhz o

Fine, fine! But we need more! More!

Mltgpiru o

Okay, this isn't looking bad... Ah, who am I kidding. It's looking horrendous.

6johrg1a o

...No! NO! THAT ONE RANDOM SOLDIER WENT AFTER SYLVIS! WARD--

Gve6rrir o

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuck me... Not again...

Uciqrchv o

This map's making a fool of me now. And it's supposed to be the easy map before the game gets serious. Am I even going to beat this game?

7fs3wewq oBsujz2hr oUqtcx2vk o1kwougoc o

Here we go again...

4r0pyj4y o

Heal Axel...

N2oajfak o

And now, Ward and Reese will kill the second horseman.

Emtbzfhc oQ4oes41v oChdawgoz o

There we go.

69snhk19 o

Run south, you two.

Nhxgafp4 o

Oh, God...

Altqn71w o

Wait that's actually a good thing! That means the main team isn't screwed, and he's right next to Reese and Ward, who both have OP weapons!

Aszf3rof o4j4lby0o o

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

8dqdwwus o

That could've easily been a crippling...

Fddcljbj o

Oh--What!?

Vxoownyo oMhtjnvpv o

Shiiiiiiit...

Q1cxfvye o

Kill Andersen already, you dummy!

B8invgrj o

No! Stop!

0dlsncyq o

Oh, no...

J15lkpn0 o

What is happening!? I'm doing even worse than usual now!

Tkllfe9c o

Uhh, neat.

Frgzdfce o

All right, lanceman. It's time to bring out the big guns for you.

Crqdec8x o8ioriium o3jmgp3rl oNz5ydot0 o

That's it!

F4c2ob1f o

Here's the good horse again.

Pona3pdd o

Huh... It looks like one of the knights is pursuing Ward and Reeese. That's excellent. He'll take the entire chapter to arrive to us.

Bhdhqziw o

Okay, so. I'm taking a bit of a risk here. I want this kill to go to Adel. His shield is red, so unless Sylvis gets through his shield...

Tlpo6kwn oYl8dwf3k o

Hell yeah. I'm glad I can rely on you to hold back just as much as I can rely on you to destroy!

Ohbog1qk o

Okay, very nice... And now, she must move so that he doesn't attack her.

Yjwoy9jc o

What.

WHAT

NO

YOU'VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME

I FORGOT TO HEAL ADEL

I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT SYLVIS I FORGOT TO HEAL ADEL

I SHOULD'VE JUST FORTIFIED

HE'S TOO FAST TO VANTAGE WITHOUT THE SHIELD

WHAT HAVE I DONE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Iyemxms4 o

H24blq3o oToo slow!

Zqi9kjr7 o......

Uedfz3v4 o ......

I...

......

I, ah... Hm.

......

You know what? Not questioning it. That just happened.

Vqvz2nyl o

H24blq3o oWow... That was incredible! One moment I'm watching my life flash before my eyes, and then... It's almost as if my body moved on its own! Goodness... I must have a guardian angel. Are you praying for me, Lumiere?

Grphovdw o

Oipvxybb oHeh... What, you think I'm about to let all my efforts go to waste? I didn't teach you all those tricks so you could die before getting some! You gotta make it, you idiot!

H24blq3o o...? Must've been the wind...

9iowageo o

...What the fuck just happened. No, seriously.

...Oh, look! His shield level is capped! That means any empty levels from here on will forcibly grant spear points! Oh, man... Maybe, guys... Just maybe...!

Dmzzcw2v oBvyjpnkt o

I should've done this from the start.

Mcwprgvg oNddpe8am o

That's enough excitement for one day. Let's get the hell outta here before I have the chance to screw more things up.

Q51mjdsn o

Oh, boy... Too late?

Uwiq2tqu oDgenp0jd o

Well, not too bad!

Ayiujsfy o3oq1x1hg o

Paaaahhh!

90nxw2pg o

Morton leaves again.

S4uo9dpf oG3ujcfcm o

Two can play at the throwing game. Wait... Anyone else feeling déjà vu?

Tlcnjqg9 oJwdzntnt oDumaohkm o

As for yo-- Holy shit, he just massacred that guy! Way to go, Marcel!

Zyjmx2pv o

Eyyyyy! It's a replacement for Ward's earlygame spear! You know, the one that totally didn't miss all the time!

Wy41taqn o

...Uhhh, what a tempting pulverizing... But, no. Axel dies. Even without Pulverize, his defense is low enough that he still dies.

K097gc2k o

It's Faye time.

Ad0yass5 oLualm7ph o

Hwahahahahah... What a good unit this gal has turned into.

Iiu9jxym o6ma45k5t o

Some healing for Axel.

Cbyugtiw o

There's Wally and his pals. Did you know that in Spain, Waldo from "Where's Waldo?" is called Wally? Yeah! In fact, that's the OG name from England! It was America that changed it to Waldo, because America isn't allowed to be the same as Europe, apparently.

R84sw36v oXhzxxtkt oK1vn2cix o

Marcel kills another guy. He's on fire!

Krwhrcyh o

D'oh! This is never not annoying.

Goqwty0u o

I'm pretty sure this is Aleck. See? 2% chance. Let's not harm him.

7h4exelj oCvczroqk o

At this point I'm just trying to get spear points.

Oyfwzd4e o

Huh!?

Nhrtmxnc o5aprnxla o

Oh, right. That's a thing.

Mhpp5a7f o

He missed.

Wnkrtjup o

Hey, you know what'd be funny? A capture on this guy.

0yxi0b5t oL7mszesf o

Alas, no dice.

Bgctroqq o

Time to say goodbye, little knight!

H5gl2lih oWacmusux o

You cannot compare to a true knight like Derrick.

2xzc0cmk o

Buff myrmidon?

Bsxdc7jj o

Aw.

Ef9d4edm oSvsor3nd o

Holy shit they're so fast...

Pneagfwr o

The escape point isn't even here yet! What are they waiting for?

Q97sy03d o

Thank goodness... I don't even want to know how Vanmilion intends to deal with all those black riders, but apparently that was enough!

Meoilxpy oIf you delay in withdrawing, you'll be captured by the enemy! Be careful!

Lgjkwhcy oIt's... It's chapter 11, Reese. We know this by now.

6rlo6bpa o

Berwick Island!?

Vkwzpjfv oYes, sir!

Vlixbfmb o

You know when I said that there was nothing the Empire could gain from invading Berwick Island other than freeing Bernard so he could resume kicking their asses?

I was joking, but... Huh. We'll see...

Jkeugyj5 o

Anyway.

3manteyf o

Yeah, as I thought, he really is Aleck.

Wepeoxht o

Oaahh!

X0jxgwis o

Paladin!

Lsrkydqr o3obshfpu oV8fbptrb oKuesmwy6 o

Whoa, what a mess of a fight that was...

D49txmqa o

Cool!

Y1njrzhz o

Okay, first of all. Owen, get out.

At1kffgj oJrhojhzz o

Burroughs, leave so Aleck can follow you.

D36q4s1x o

Everyone else who can, does. Except Sylvis. She's got a job to do.

Fvak4azr oGm5phgug o

I'm... not entirely sure what my plan was here. I think I wanted Adel to fight the paladin for experience?

Mzkognxy o

Dhv55sc6 oI will see our homeland restored. I swear it on my very life!

4a1w9mze o

This was a mistake.

Nxy9dhzn oCxg8iwko o0pnxih1u o

A huge mistake! Aaahhh!

Xhs6qt58 oYtepqr5h o

Hold up... I think I may've underestimated how fast these guys are.

6ojgcqyq o2djp0c9w o

Oh yeah. I absolutely have underestimated these guys. Holy shit, they're absurdly fast... They're already on top of us.

Cfrvqrwt o

I think I only did this because she couldn't reach the escape point.

Qovmzqss oLlrmynsy oWxawstcb o

We are so fucked.

At least we won't have to reset again... but three units are in range of the lancers...

I permanently recruit Clifford, and immediately lose him. I get Marcel his movement point, and he immediately dies because, ironically enough, he couldn't reach the escape point. I'm too bad to deserve nice things...

That's got to be a new one. Last minute death. The map's literally over. It may not look like it, but it is. Marcel died to the last friggin' enemy. Absolutely amazing.

8eauvj40 o

Might as well get those tactics points, since the enemy won't move as long as Sylvis remains hidden. The flag's already been replaced by the escape point, so funnily enough, these bastards can't take it any longer. There's no risk involved in waiting to turn 24.

Gspnuldg oBldnzryv o

I'd like to point out that this was supposed to be the last easy map. I lost Marcel in the last easy map. If this is any indication of how next map will go... I think I might make it to the end with Reese, Ward and Faye!

Qvx82tak o

...Ahhh, fuck my life.

Next time, we go back and yada yada. Maybe I'll promote Adel, so he can die immediately afterwards. Bye. Farewell and all.

God fucking damnit.

Honestly, I'd go for making them work like Berwick horses. They are difficult to heal, and when they run out, that's it; but on the other hand, they're more durable. I think battalions are readily available enough that this could work. And it'd make things like stride extremely important to protect.

Only problem is that it would break battalion-based skills. But, to be honest, I think those worked pretty badly as it is.

  I've ragged enough on the handling of horses and healing in Berwick that I'm not sure I have more to add there. Your point on availability on paper is fine, but I feel like to balance that we'd get a lot less of the battalions with generic enough gambits and we'd end up with more very powerful ones that in the hands of units with sufficient dodging would be too strong in that context. You also have to consider that in a game where Casual mode has to be accounted for that this needs a pretty strong justification to keep to there as well.

On skills I don't see it being as significant as all that, hell Felix and Catherine like not having them if you meant personal. Though it'd make the B Rank Authority skill S-tier and as for Battalion Wrath/Vantage combos, they're broken as it is. You'd probably retool them in that case anyway, if use them like that at all.

Not that they make much more sense, don't get me wrong. A single angelic robe and master seal were stuff nobody was going to bring a thief into the final chapter for, even if they were planning on doing the CC. Heck, even if you somehow have a combat-viable Colm you probably want him doing things, not wasting his time with useless chests.

I mean the Angelic Robe would be nice and it's optional to go for them for CC.

I know, but you responded the same day is it was on, I had to watch that second half.

4 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said:

Oh please...

So this is an issue with Berwick... Except it's really not significant enough to be an issue. I swear, sometimes it's like you want to get me ranting.

To be entirely forthcoming with you (and at risk of sounding like I'm blindly defending the game as usual), I'm trying to see it, and... Well, I don't see it. Portrait reuse, fine, the game does do that, despite the absurd amount of unused portraits (I wonder why they did that with both this one and TRS). Same-armor syndrome, sure, it's clear they reused their armor designs quite often (and their beards, at times). But I don't see the same-face syndrome anywhere. Certainly not among player units.

I can't even find the example you're referring to. The closest I can come up with is Christine and Sylvis, but the only thing they have in common is their eyes kinda? The lips are different, the hair is different, Christine's expression is sadder... Even their poses are different. Really doesn't qualify as "same-face syndrome" in my opinion.

For reference, a game that I'd say suffers from same-face syndrome is FE4, where young Oifey looks like Claud's son, Holyn looks like Noish but with his face slightly tilted upwards-- Heck, scratch that, Noish and Finn have literally the same face, and half of the second generation have the exact same expression (girls and boys both). Unfair to criticize such an old game? Not really, considering both Thracia and Mystery managed to sidestep this issue. It's only 4 that suffers from it, in my humble opinion.

So... Yeah. Could you please tell me the example you're talking about? I'm really trying to find it, but I can't. Maybe I've just lower standards for what constitutes a different face than you do.

Czene and Sylvis actually have the same face, I'm amazed when you looked you missed that one and I only noticed while trying to figure lyrics, so I doubt it's something that's been sitting there a long time. They're the most prominent in the player cast in fairness, but they're not alone in this game.

It is a minor point, I wasn't expecting that much of a response, much less you using Genealogy, a Kaga-led title that was also on much older hardware where it's apparent they did a lot of the repetition due to time constraints. This isn't as much of a knock as all that considering there's too many titles that would reuse striptes or parts of sprites (Including Thracia I might add).

Well... okay, that may look like absolute bullshit at first glance, but if we take a glance at the battle forecast, we can see he has no chance to hit Faye. No enemies attack when they've no chance to land the blow, whereas that other knight had a decent shot at a healer and didn't take it.

That, and I'm not sure when he comes, but I know for a fact that the second of Genos's friends is not here yet. So yeah. This guy is going down.

Pretty much. Considering you haven't even engaged Vanmillion yet. He's got a few thousand more soldiers then the 97 soldiers of the Sinon Knights.

Trimier is a mystery. She has no dialogue or battle quotes, no relevance to anyone's character arc, holds no interesting items, has no skills and is, overall, nothing more than a generic horseman who for some reason has Christine's class, a name and a really cool portrait. Seriously, why does this rando have that portrait? She looks like she could easily be the game's protagonist!

Well, it IS the only horse class that can use Crossbows.

Why did you have Ward guard someone without using a shield?

I'm pretty sure this is Aleck. See? 2% chance. Let's not harm him.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Remember, if an attack is initiated at 0 range, the terrain of the defender is used for both combatants. What you are showing here is that the knight has 2% hit against Faye if the fight takes place on a road tile because she is the one engaging him on his tile. If the knight was initiating combat against Faye instead, Faye would benefit from the avoid bonus of the tile she is currently standing on, which is no doubt higher then that of the road tile.

In other words, it's possible the knight may have had a 0% hit chance if he had attacked Faye just now.

Hold up... I think I may've underestimated how fast these guys are.

I suppose if you are struggling to outrun armors, it might be best to be wary of cavalry movement.

  I've ragged enough on the handling of horses and healing in Berwick that I'm not sure I have more to add there. Your point on availability on paper is fine, but I feel like to balance that we'd get a lot less of the battalions with generic enough gambits and we'd end up with more very powerful ones that in the hands of units with sufficient dodging would be too strong in that context. You also have to consider that in a game where Casual mode has to be accounted for that this needs a pretty strong justification to keep to there as well.

Well, weapons still break in casual mode, don't they? I don't see why battalions should work differently.

On skills I don't see it being as significant as all that, hell Felix and Catherine like not having them if you meant personal. Though it'd make the B Rank Authority skill S-tier and as for Battalion Wrath/Vantage combos, they're broken as it is. You'd probably retool them in that case anyway, if use them like that at all.

Very well then.

I mean the Angelic Robe would be nice and it's optional to go for them for CC.

That is true, but the master seal?

Even better it'd explain Brightbow's Raze Etoile theory as well.

Yeah, it works on every level!

I feel like Erzhimer would do it because he'd find it fascinating.

And ask Clara if he's doing it right.

Huh... That sounds in-character for him, actually.

I wish, Kaga would do something like that if he really wanted to.

Don't deflect this onto Kaga. You know full well who pulled this particular brand of bullshit.

Ephraim was more right than Obi Wan I see.

Well, let's be fair. They're fliers. They always have the high ground. Obi Wan wouldn't mess with 'em either.

It works on so many levels!

Indeed it does! Wait, no, I mean--

Kaga was speciesist against the Laguz first.

Pfft...

I know, but you responded the same day is it was on, I had to watch that second half.

Ahhh.

Czene and Sylvis actually have the same face,

What?

That is... Well, all right. They're kinda similar. Not "same", but they're close enough. Still, Czene is looking more smug, and her nose is different, and she's paler.

I'm amazed when you looked you missed that one and I only noticed while trying to figure lyrics, so I doubt it's something that's been sitting there a long time. They're the most prominent in the player cast in fairness, but they're not alone in this game.

It is a minor point, I wasn't expecting that much of a response, much less you using Genealogy, a Kaga-led title that was also on much older hardware where it's apparent they did a lot of the repetition due to time constraints. This isn't as much of a knock as all that considering there's too many titles that would reuse striptes or parts of sprites (Including Thracia I might add).

Hey, same face and sprite reuse are different things. It's totally fine for these old games to reuse faces, hardware limitations and all. But the Thracian cast looks different when it's not being reused. FE4... kinda doesn't.

Faye's there like "OHO! INSTEAD OF APPROACHING ME YOU'RE RUNNING AWAY"

And the other guy "I literally can't beat the shit out of you."

The perks of having lost a shitton of units. It's... It's somethin', all right.

I'm betting he's stupid, because he's doing the direct fight.

Andersen really should've listened to his own advice...

I guess that works?

It's a bit overkill, but...

It's time for Raze to slay his own peons.

Ugg0cmtj o#Razeslays

Bwahahahahahah...

Oaash4gb oThen again, two gods fighting each other, would it even work?

God of War intensifies.

Absolute blur there, can barely make her out.

No wonder he missed.

POV: You're reading Saint Rubenio's Berwick Saga LP but you put your thumb on your glasses.

That was a lot to deal with.

Hah, not as much as what he had to deal with later on...

Zqi9kjr7 oBaccana-

*dies

Oof!

PFHAHAHAHAHAA

Implying Kaga would give you a good green unit.

Hold that thought. Berwick Saga will prove you wrong a few maps from now.

Except in Thracia.

Where they were you enemies. 😛

Urgh... Don't remind me.

(SHHH ABUT SETY)

Sety? Who dat? I only know Cyas.

He also looks pretty miffed about the whole ordeal too.

That looks like a face of disgust.

I mean, it looks pretty close to that one face of mine that I've used like twice.

Yeah, yeah that's good.

For Berwick Saga, yes.

Has there been a spry horse before?

I don't think so. It's a middle-tier horse, usually we've seen bad ones or great ones.

Now's when Zephyrus starts charging.

Hah!

Don't give Kaga ideas.

That is some high tier terror there.

You are definitely not meant to tank these are you?

You're meant to run from them like your life depends on it. Because it does.

What is it with the easy maps suddenly causing issues?

It's happened in every LP. I should've seen it coming...

RIP both times.

F

It certainly didn't hurt that somehow a shield like that lost to an arrow.

Annoying Arrows was a stupid trope anyway.

Well, it is an arrow fired by Sylvis.

And here I had thought all the Sinon crew were going to bite it.

Oh, believe me, I thought so too.

Locky duck he was.

As soon as Adel dodged, it was a locked case.

Kinda forced, I know. Heck, pretty sure it doesn't even work in any way. But I had to do it.

Just one more thing:

"It's almost as if my body moved on its own!"

Oh god is that a pickup line Leon suggested?

I... What? No, I don't think so! It's not hardcore enough for Mr. "Love is a Battlefield".

Oipvxybb oCome on you jackass I'm right here!

Oaash4gb oYou get used to it.

Oipvxybb oMy my, whjo are you, so beautiful and wise-

Oaash4gb oAnd blocked.

Pffft... I'm not sure if I love or hate what I've done with the realm's literal gods.

Gues it works out.

Yes. Yes, it did.

So wait, America wasn't first on that.

Alright.

Nope. Creator was English.

RIP running joke, he'd only just started getting running.

Goddamnit...

He should have gone down like this:

https://images2.imgbox.com/36/7b/RLqT4D9D_o.pngOh! Had enough, eh? Come back and take what's coming to you, you yellow bastards!! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!

I'll miss these jokes.

You and I both... They'll join Elbert's provoke dialogue and Bad Dad bullying in heaven.

Eh, not really, hell I'd compare it as closer to Ike's line to Ashera in RD.

Hmmm...

Also Arcturus really just seems as generic as Levail, hopefully the game gives me a reason to think otherwise

Well, without spoiling too much... Yes. They're literally the same character initially, but they eventually part ways, and Arcturus comes out on top, in my opinion.

To think, I don't get a birthday update because it's out today. I'm disappointed after last year /s

I'm guessing your birthday is the 30th, then? It's the 30th at the time I'm writing this, so... Happy birthday!

Now... what was I doing 30/10 last year?

Oh, shit-- It's the friggin' final update of TRS! No wonder you're disappointed, that's hard to one-up!

It's really apparent how dark it is in the evenings now, I wonder what it'll feel like after we're stuck on the DST timezone next year.

Like the north pole.

*sweating* Oh right.... hehehehe. Also why are Dayni's replies coupled with mine? Well I don't really care, it was just a random thing I saw.

I made a mistake while quoting.

I'm gonna be honest though... it's pretty controversial... some story bits especially stand out, I won't spoil it though I guess.

I am aware. After watching the FEE3 presentation, I went to the FEUniverse thread and stumbled upon all the drama. Caught it just before the thread was nuked, too.

The story bits I came across... kinda disgusted me, not gonna lie. Then again, I've done my fair share of edgy crap too, so... I can't really judge. In particular, I'm not sure what role Dietwald plays in the game, but good luck getting me to root for the little dipshit. He's despicable.

...oh fuck... oh shit!

OOHHHHH SHIIIIIIET!

Shut-the-up

N-o

Well well, now I'm seriously wanting to now.

Heheh I'm glad.

I think I saw some spoilers somewhere? Is the final map versus - nope nope. Won't say.

Don't!

Yeah I understand where you were coming from even when I wrote that. It wasn't important, just noticeable.

All right, that's that taken care of.

That's super interesting.

"Super interesting" is generally how I'd describe the hack.

Oh damn it!

Hanes: Kaga ok look. If you're gonna implement a system for reliability, that's good right?
Kaga: Yesu
Hanes: Ok so then having good hit rates is a good thing right?
Kaga: Yesu
Hanes: Then what if me make the bracket system push skill poin-
Kaga: No
Hanes: Fuck.

Well, to be fair, they do push skill points when the level is otherwise empty. It's not completely awful.

Yep. Oh well...

Next time, next time.

jesus christ how annoying.

Very.

woah the elites!..... with the most generic looking portraits ever.

Hey, that's actually one of the pretty portraits with the spiked helmet. My favorite generics from this game. You just can't see the spike too well there.

Well, I dfinitely wasn't expecting that!

Neither was I, clearly...

Heh, I always like these very meta conversations.

I'm glad.

No I didn't. Cool!

There you go. You never go to bed without learning something new.

*gasp* Zephyrus will use Bernard to rebel against the empire or something! Perhaps this helps explain what I saw of the last map...

Well... Patience. Don't get ahead of yourself.

Jesus christ... I'm not even mad at you or feeling like picking on you... I'm just let down by how things turn out

So am I. That last minute death was just cruel.

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

Except for the part where I misspelled Lazberia. Actually, that makes it more consistent. Both Raze and Veria are corruptions of the two halves of Lazberia.

Besides the repeating motive of unification, there are also several allusions to the gods being one. Basically the same as that whole "Astartyune/Ashunera" thing from Radiant Dawn.

Yes, exactly.

4 Damage? This could be better.

Be careful you don't end up losing in 11-2 just because you can't kill the boss fast enough.

Oh, I think I'll have plenty of time to lose in 11-2 before I even make it to the boss.

Pretty much. Considering you haven't even engaged Vanmillion yet. He's got a few thousand more soldiers then the 97 soldiers of the Sinon Knights.

Only reason this had any chance of working is that he was going to get caught off-guard.

Well, it IS the only horse class that can use Crossbows.

True enough.

Yeah, armors are relentless pursuers.

Uh...

Why did you have Ward guard someone without using a shield?

I have to wonder what your objective is when you ask me such questions. I'm completely clueless most of the time. How should I know?

......

...I thought the paladin's shield would last him all map at least, since it was blank at the beginning. So I didn't give him any spares. Come to think about it, I'm pretty sure it broke on green. Oh, well.

How does this happen? They have 3 movement.

I don't know. I've a special talent for being awful.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Remember, if an attack is initiated at 0 range, the terrain of the defender is used for both combatants.

In other words, it's possible the knight may have had a 0% hit chance if he had attacked Faye just now.

Well, then it's a grand thing that I turned out to be correct by dumb luck.

I suppose if you are struggling to outrun armors, it might be best to be wary of cavalry movement.

Bleh...

Don't you mean Ike?

"Make your peace with whatever the gods worship. Your end is near."

This is hilarious. I never played Awakening. In fact, it's the FE I'm the least familiar with, topping even Fates and Genealogy. And yet, I completely forgot about this line from a FE that I actually did play.

Probably because by the point I made it to Ashera, I was so thoroughly sick of the game that I just wanted to get through it before my boredom reached critical mass. I mean, I lost like 3 units in the finale and pressed on because the idea of resetting seemed completely unbearable. Heck, I made a mistake when blessing my weapons and ended up having to make up a complicated strategy to just barely beat Dheginsea, because the alternative was to sit through Lekain's map again! Friggin' thing lasted 2 hours, I swear!

Last time, we lost Marcel. Today, we reflect on our actions. Eyyy, it's one of my favorites again!

Pobpolog oI heard the news from Vanmilion. The invading force was defeated, and we captured 74 of their men.

Meoilxpy oThe enemy lines were filled with brave soldiers, I cannot deny. No matter how many of their allies were defeated, they kept moving forward without faltering. Still, I could not call what they were doing a strategy... It was more along the lines of desperation...

Pobpolog oAfter interrogating the prisoners, we've learned that many of them were Imperial janissaries. They were Verian citizens whose families were taken hostage, and they were forced to fight. Those who deserted or surrendered to us would have their family burnt at the stake.

Hah! Reese immediately bends the knee. As if that was necessary. She's not her brother.

Pobpolog oTo what do I owe the honor of having Your Highness pay me a personal visit?

Zig1fg6v oI have a desperate request to ask of Lord Reese.

Meoilxpy oOf me, Your Highness...?

Zig1fg6v oI will get straight to the point. Please escort me to the Temple of Oaths on Berwick Island.

Meoilxpy oI... beg your pardon, Your Highness?

Zig1fg6v oThat is where my brother had Duke Bernard sent into exile instead of having him executed.

2cga9lia o

Uedfz3v4 o What!? Volcens, you absolute moron!

Pobpolog oBut Your Highness, Berwick Island is strictly controlled by the King's Royal Guard! Even if you made landfall, they would keep you away from the Temple by force!

Zig1fg6v oI understand there are risks, but we have no other options left.

Pobpolog oBut it's simply far too reckless, Your Highness! Even with an escort, your very life would be at risk!

Lgjkwhcy o Roswick, I... I would think - or at least HOPE - that the Royal Guard of Veria would recognize the Princess of Veria and wouldn't harm her. Then again, being Volcens's personal forces... Perhaps such abhorrent incompetence should come as no surprise.

Zig1fg6v oRoswick, does this kingdom have a future without Duke Bernard? You and I know very well that if he dies, then Veria dies with him. Even knowing that, will you still do nothing to save him?

Pobpolog oI-I...

Zig1fg6v oI know that if I do not go and speak to Duke Bernard personally, he will never be persuaded to escape. ...Lord Reese, your answer, please. Will you take me to Berwick Island to save Duke Bernard?

Hsaihzuz o

9qk5ifz8 o And with that, ladies and gentlemen, it's finally happening. We're at long last giving Volcyboy the middle finger, and undoing all of his stupid mistakes, whether he likes it or not. And the best part is, the instigator of this rebellion, the person committing this act of high treason... is Volcyboy's own sister. Hahahah... Ahh, you're the best, Sienna.

Pobpolog oLord Reese?!

Zig1fg6v oThank you, Lord Reese. If you are with me, then I know I will succeed.

Meoilxpy oDuke Roswick, will you aid us?

Pobpolog o...It seems I have no choice. I will steel myself for if the worst should come to pass.

Lgjkwhcy oRoswick, don't talk like that! Don't you even suggest such a thing. Bernstool was enough...!

Pobpolog oLeave the King's watchdogs to me. As soon as your ship is ready, I will send you a messenger, Lord Reese.

Meoilxpy oYou ladies seem to be enjoying yourselves.

Ps4nmuuw oAh, Lord Reese! Have you finished giving your report to the duke?

Meoilxpy oYes, that part of our meeting was uneventful, at least...

Ps4nmuuw oDid something else happen after that, milord?

Meoilxpy oWe shouldn't talk about this here. Let's return home first.

L6jsiifj o

Dramatic music.

3cxl4xfi oOf course, milord. If it is your will, then I have no objections. However, I must say that it was rather bold of you to answer Her Highness's plea as you did.

Ps4nmuuw oI believe you made the right decision, Lord Reese. As Her Highness said, if we were to simply stand idly by, the world would be lost to the darkness of Raze.

Meoilxpy oDuke Bernard is the last hope for the Berwick League's survival. We cannot afford not to take action.

3cxl4xfi oBut if we make a single misstep, we will be hanged for treason.

Meoilxpy o...Ward, what would my father have done if he were here?

Vijwdeeo o

3cxl4xfi oBut you are my liege now, Lord Reese. If you are resolved, then I shall follow you into the very depths of hell.

5utjtvhw oAs shall I, Lord Reese. Will you be needing my assistance when you go to Berwick Island?

Meoilxpy oMost definitely, Larentia. You and your wyvern will no doubt be of great value to our mission.

Txzubig9 o Hwohohohohoh... Ohoh, noooo, Reese, noooo... They won't. That's perhaps the biggest dickmove in a map littered with dickmoves. This map, it's going to be fun. You can all rest assured of that, guys.

5utjtvhw oThank you, milord. I will prepare at once!

Let's witness the riveting conclusion to the Rodin character arc.

Numsnkhy o

This scene just has the Navarron theme, but it's been ages since I last linked that one, so here.

Flpyeksw o......

3cxl4xfi o......

Flpyeksw o...I can't believe it's real...

3cxl4xfi o......

Gszklxwb oI caught him quick enough, but since the Empire was advancing close, I had to get out of there fast. I was already thinking about how to get back to town when I ran into General Ward here.

3cxl4xfi o(I don't recall that being exactly the way it happened, but...) You've certainly proven your skill, but to go hunting so close to the Empire was the height of recklessness.

Swa1pxbm o

3cxl4xfi oThat may be so, but...

Flpyeksw oMore than anything, I'm just glad you're back safe, Rodin.

Gszklxwb o'Course I am. Here, General, you can have this.

3cxl4xfi oYou don't want to keep the pelt?

Gszklxwb oThe pelt of a Baihu should come in handy for something, right?

3cxl4xfi o(True... It is the King of Fighters...)

9qk5ifz8 o ...Sorry. Typo.

3cxl4xfi o(True... It is the King of Tigers...) You don't mind?

Gszklxwb oI don't need it. Hunting it was enough for me.

3cxl4xfi o(Still, a trophy like this is not something one can find anywhere...)

Gszklxwb oWell, Nieves, I'm going out hunting in the forest outside town again. If anything happens, come find me.

Flpyeksw oBe careful, Rodin.

Ifvsxnim o

3cxl4xfi oWhat a spry fellow, despite his old age... Even if he came across a wyvern, I wonder if he'd still try to take it down singlehandedly...

Lgjkwhcy o Bah. Wyverns aren't that tough. Perceval could handle them, and Perceval can't handle his own hands!

I2oboxnf o

That's cool. I would've liked moneys, but that's fine I guess.

P3a4kx2u o

Genos's reunion is next.

Lyhnuopv o

Music.

Vygqn8y6 oAleck... Morton... I'm glad you're all right...

Kucxodag o......

Dhv55sc6 oAnswer me something, Genos. When they tortured us... They said you'd betrayed us to the Empire. Is it true? Did you sell us out?

Vygqn8y6 o......

Vygqn8y6 o...I did.

66rgvd1c o

Lgjkwhcy o Wow, watch the fuckin' language! There are kids watching!

Uedfz3v4 o ...A-Actually, I would seriously hope there are no kids reading this LP... I'm not the most PG fellow out there, y'know.

Dhv55sc6 oNo matter what they did to us, we still believed in you! Even when they taunted us and spat in our faces, we held on to hope!

Kucxodag oI'll kill you, you bastard! I'll make you apologize to Duke Warrenheit to his face...!

Rfhw6pqc oZpdrjmo1 o

Oh, dear...

Meoilxpy oWait, both of you! Genos is the one who asked me to help rescue you from the Empire!

Vygqn8y6 oLord Reese... It's all right.

Vygqn8y6 oAleck... Morton... I have no right to ask for forgiveness. I gave up that right when I let go of something I never should have. No matter what good I try to do to make things right... I know that nothing will ever take back what I did.

Kucxodag o......

Mqdcgw0o o

Music changes at this point.

Vygqn8y6 oI swore to uphold my knightly oaths, yet I threw them away like trash... Since the day I made that choice, I've had no reason to keep living.

O7djumj3 oDlfjkwma o

So he's committing suicide by former friends, huh...

Vygqn8y6 oAt least, now this suffering can finally come to an end... My former brothers, you have more right than anyone to exact justice...

Meoilxpy oAleck, Morton... I won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do, but please let me say one thing.

Vwdel43f o

Kucxodag o......

Dhv55sc6 o......

24mrl5va oGrtmcbku o

Well... Shit. Guess that's the end of Genos.

Xhxglwcf o

...Or not. Morton just whacked him with the handle, it seems!

Kucxodag o...I won't let you take the easy way out.

Dhv55sc6 o...The authority to pass judgment lies with the Duke of the Lowlands. Until another receives that title, we'll postpone your punishment.

Kucxodag oAnd until that day comes, we're going to make life hell for you... Just the three of us, like old times.

Dhv55sc6 oYou can't go dying and get rid of us that easy.

Vygqn8y6 oAleck... Morton...!

Yqx1vgpm o

Yeeeey it's a happy ending!

Vygqn8y6 oLord Reese... Thank you... Truly... I want you to have this as repayment for everything you've done for me. It's a powerful lance tipped with the fang of a wyvern.

Meoilxpy oA drakelance?! But they're incredibly valuable...

Lgjkwhcy o Also incredibly useless, unless Adel can muster up three more spear points before the end of chapter 13.

Vygqn8y6 oYou deserve it, Lord Reese. Please, use it to drive off the Empire from our beloved homeland.

Lrdpjaw6 o

Vygqn8y6 oMy penance is far from over... Until my homeland is liberated, there's still much work to be done!

Y79hhpvd oKembjueu o

Even more cute lances that I can't use because Clifford died in Stolen Sword. I'm not even sure about promoting Adel. At this rate, I fear he'll die instantly after he finally promotes.

On the bright side, Adel is so overlevelled that he'll be able to use this thing if he makes it there. So... yeah. Cool.

5a8c10ei o

I'd like to point out that Faramir is still not getting recruited. I have no idea why. Either it happens at the very end of the chapter, or he really does lose happiness if Faye dies. Guess if he doesn't join after the map, I'll have to deploy him in every map from here on out for a chance to get Faye's ending.

9o62ucjl o

Irlipgqz oYeah... Lord Reese is tryin' his best, but he can't change the course of the war with just a couple hundred men...

Peomilfr oIt's a verse from the Scriptures of St. Aramgraz, chapter 7. People in the western lands revere St. Serenia as their divine protector. Now that she's returned...

Fspf1thd oShe's supposed to be a god descended from Saint Serenia, isn't that right?

Peomilfr oWeren't you listening? She's not a god, she's Veria's chosen messenger. Some 400 years ago, St. Serenia came and united a bunch of warring tribes to make the Duchy of Serenia. She was originally just a nun, but she got a divine revelation and became the Goddess's Chosen One.

Aiedupgv oHuh... So this "Chosen One" people are talking about in Mineva...

Peomilfr oI mean, it's just a rumor, but she might've been sent by Veria, too. Supposedly, she's already performed miracles and saved lots of people. If it's true, then she's just the kind of savior we all need right now...

Politically however, we got a spicy story that puts the previous Taoiseach as a criminal and there's an attempt to justify the whole thing like he wasn't' returning a favour to a friend of his who'd benefit from what he sent. Even if it didn't work out and the leak didn't prevent the group his friend led collapsed.

Point is this story is not so easy made to disappear and I am hoping it works out.

Since the last update I got back to chapter 10 and can confirm that if you kill the Wyrmspeaker, all surviving Wyvern will become confused permanently.
So afterwards you can just Hide in the bushes somewhere and enjoy the fireworks. Eventually every enemy but the Wyvern landing the final kill will be dead. It's bloody hilarious.
It also allowed me to observe just how neurotic confused units are. They might not even attack anyone at all.

...I thought the paladin's shield would last him all map at least, since it was blank at the beginning. So I didn't give him any spares. Come to think about it, I'm pretty sure it broke on green. Oh, well.

So basically the exact same story as Clifford's Paladin Shield.

Shields wear down at 4 times the speed as weapons with the same durability. They don't last very long.
Of course in the earlygame skill ranks are lower and a lot more attacks miss, so shields come less into play. But if you consistently block, they break down very fast.

Well, at least in the flashback he was very much: "Do whatever his majesty says, no matter how stupid."
To be fair, can't exactly blame Bernstool for doing whatever he could to make sure Volcens didn't get upset. Still, this was the reason Reese offered as to why he stayed in Narvia even after hearing news about the fall of the western front. A conviction he manages to overcome so easily that it is not even acknowledged in this scene. It most certainly contributes to the cliff scene feeling just plain weird.

While we are on the subject, I wonder if Reese was sent almost as sort of a hostage to Volcens to pacify his paranoia. In the hopes that as long as the life of the heir of Sinon was in his hands, Volcens would be sure that Bernstool wouldn't betray him.
Reese did mention in the first chapter that he feared Volcens may use them as leverage against Bernstool, but this never got a proper followup.

Well, the maiden sent by God to save a country in it's darkest hour is not exactly a rare trope or anything. Guess we can thank Joan of Arc for that. Still, performing literal miracles is more in the territory of the Big J himself.
It's interesting how differently this is played in Radiant Dawn. Where Micaiah never claimed to be a divine savior, but people simply projected that role onto her because she fit that mold very well. Soren also expressed a pretty cynical view of her relationship with the Daein people, calling them fanatics.
Not that this all really went anywhere and they technically did turn out to be right for all the wrong reasons.

Oh well, we'll see how they handle battalions in future FEs, if they don't scrap the mechanic.

I didn't say they didn't, yes that hill is frustrating, but avoidable too

Avoidable? There's no friggin' warning! You just kill a random unit and everyone standing on the hill gets paralized! How do you "avoid" it?

(e.g. me in maddening, proceeding to laugh as Hubert tried to take a hill that was on fire and make it easier to defeat him).

That was just luck. In my case, I had already taken it and half my army was standing on it. And Claude was, of course, able to reach everyone with his wyvern. Without divine pulse, deaths would've been unavoidable.

Kaga has done quite similar BS elsewhere.

Maybe, but this is on the higher end of the spectrum, in my opinion.

I really don't see the differences there.

Well, I do.

Does any Kaga FE actually bother with skin tone differences?

In this game, it seems. There are a few darker-skinned fellows (mostly brigands, which is... rather questionable, but that's a conversation for another time), and a couple of the playable gals are noticeably paler than the rest of the cast. It's not much, but it's something.

That doesn't mean it isn't same face to my mind imo.

All right, fair enough. I can see the similarities, but I feel saying "same face" is a bit of a stretch.

in before they end up doing awfully when they show up.

Hah! Wouldn't put it past them, to be honest. But there are still some sturdy greenies later on.

I mean, Cyas is cool too. Any staff user is automatically cool in Thracia.

Yes. Which... I wouldn't call a good thing, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to break the game, but when the game starts to more or less require that you break it, well... Yeah. Chapter 22 can go suck a dick, is what I'm saying.

But the other guy's kinda wild on that map where they both show up

True enough... Or, he doesn't exist. That's possible too.

(Also it's Ced but we both know that mess)

Honestly, I think there's like, two IntSys name translations across all the untranslated titles I've played that I like better than the fans' take. Everything else is garbage like Carrion, Zealot, Yngvi (oh God I almost had a stroke when I saw that one in the latest Lil' Manster update), Belf...

He'd probably have an arm around the girlie he's made his move on for that line, true.

Oh, heck...

Not hard when Levail gets so little time.

I mean, of course. That one just dies anticlimatically in the Black Knight chapter. You'd think something interesting would happen if he lived, but... Nope. He just vanishes.

And you're on chapter 11. Still quite a bit off finishing this one. Even in lockdown, this isn't a sprint.

Eh, I don't know. These next few chapters are shorter. The maps left are 11-1 (which this update covers), 12, 12-2, 13, 14 and 15. So... 6 maps, all in all. Of course, a few of these will be longer and require multiple updates, so... I'd say 2-4 months would be a fair bet on how long we've left.

I know, not the most specific of wagers, but... Hey. I'm not an oracle. For all I know, I'll be struck by lightning and the LP will never end.

Pobpolog oIndeed, they were shot through the heart, and you're to blame.

That's true... But still, how would they explain it to Volcens? I know he's a huge asshole, but murdering his sister is going a bit too far.

So, here Reese goes, willing to go full traitor for the alliance.

Betraying Volcens is no treason. It's the right thing to do.

They seemed to be half-joking. At least that's the feeling I got from the scene. Things will definitely be awkward between them for a while, but I'd like to think they'll forgive him eventually.

Oh no, it's like Tearring and New Mystery isn't it?

...I don't get what you mean here. What did I ever need an edgelord for in TearRing and New Mystery? There was that bit of panic with Vega and the Lentzenheimer event, but in the end it turned out to be better to have Julia do it. Seriously, that scene was so good. As for New Mystery, there was no need for Navarre. Ever.

Meoilxpy oAt least someone gets it.

Not you, clearly, considering you insist on throwing your tiny army into suicide mission after suicide mission.

It's about time someone got some miracles in play.

Aegina has Miracle. Must be why she's mostly been benched. Miracle procced and saved her from being deployed by me.

Although knowing it's Berwick I wouldn't be surprised if by the time Volcens sees her Herman gets her arrested on trumped up charges, she gets sent to some other kingdom and they execute her as a witch.

Have some faith, will you? Maybe they'll turn around...

...Pfft... Okay, no, I can't. They're obviously going to ruin everything. The question is... How and when?

Also 7/7/7 statlines.

Neat!

I mean, it'll be fine, Berwick Island's a resort, right?

I don't even want to joke about it. It's as much of a resort as Auschwitz Camp, and about as pleasant in the gameplay. Perhaps too extreme a comparison, but... Seriously, this is going to be a rough map.

I already said I got Tearring working.

I already said use Luca. And you picked Narron, you fool.

Politically however, we got a spicy story that puts the previous Taoiseach as a criminal and there's an attempt to justify the whole thing like he wasn't' returning a favour to a friend of his who'd benefit from what he sent. Even if it didn't work out and the leak didn't prevent the group his friend led collapsed.

Point is this story is not so easy made to disappear and I am hoping it works out.

That sounds pretty awful... But at least they can use it to get him. Hopefully. Best of luck with that.

Since the last update I got back to chapter 10 and can confirm that if you kill the Wyrmspeaker, all surviving Wyvern will become confused permanently.
So afterwards you can just Hide in the bushes somewhere and enjoy the fireworks. Eventually every enemy but the Wyvern landing the final kill will be dead. It's bloody hilarious.
It also allowed me to observe just how neurotic confused units are. They might not even attack anyone at all.

That's a pretty neat thing. This game is so detailed.

  Hide contents

So basically the exact same story as Clifford's Paladin Shield.

Yes.

Shields wear down at 4 times the speed as weapons with the same durability. They don't last very long.
Of course in the earlygame skill ranks are lower and a lot more attacks miss, so shields come less into play. But if you consistently block, they break down very fast.

Yeah, I know this, but... Well, I am not very intelligent.

And what a fitting day for it too. Hopefully this is a good omen.

I mean, Volcens is in power still. I would hope Orangey stops being so.

...I just realized, the election will be over by the time this update comes out. Hoo, boy...

Ruben from the future stands corrected. It's still going.

Well, at least in the flashback he was very much: "Do whatever his majesty says, no matter how stupid."
To be fair, can't exactly blame Bernstool for doing whatever he could to make sure Volcens didn't get upset. Still, this was the reason Reese offered as to why he stayed in Narvia even after hearing news about the fall of the western front. A conviction he manages to overcome so easily that it is not even acknowledged in this scene. It most certainly contributes to the cliff scene feeling just plain weird.

While we are on the subject, I wonder if Reese was sent almost as sort of a hostage to Volcens to pacify his paranoia. In the hopes that as long as the life of the heir of Sinon was in his hands, Volcens would be sure that Bernstool wouldn't betray him.
Reese did mention in the first chapter that he feared Volcens may use them as leverage against Bernstool, but this never got a proper followup.

This all makes sense. As for the cliff scene, well... More and more, it seems like they desperately needed an excuse for Reese to remain in Navaron. I think it would've been better if Ward or Tianna talked to Reese and made him realize that his tiny army of less than 100 soldiers would just die if they returned to Sinon at this point. This way, he'd have an actual reason to stay in Navaron beyond "my dad made an out-of-character request of me".

I suppose that's where the Volcens train is heading to anyway. Might as well try changing the course.

Not much to lose, is there...

He seems awfully happy. If we are still looking for guys leaking secrets to the Empire,  I think we found another one.

Pffft... I'm not sure if a random guy in a bar could possibly possess military secrets.

...Then again, Klamp did hang out in this same bar, didn't he...

Peomilfr o I only said "Kaga did Micaiah first".

Hah!

Well, the maiden sent by God to save a country in it's darkest hour is not exactly a rare trope or anything. Guess we can thank Joan of Arc for that. Still, performing literal miracles is more in the territory of the Big J himself.
It's interesting how differently this is played in Radiant Dawn. Where Micaiah never claimed to be a divine savior, but people simply projected that role onto her because she fit that mold very well. Soren also expressed a pretty cynical view of her relationship with the Daein people, calling them fanatics.
Not that this all really went anywhere and they technically did turn out to be right for all the wrong reasons.

I just wanted to watch her and Ike argue. Why didn't you give me that, RD?

She's been working there for more then half a year, I think. At this point she might have gotten pretty good at dual wielding those Morpork Daggers.

I wish I knew what a Morpork Dagger is. But more than a dagger I can totally imagine Rosalie dual-wielding bottles. Just... tossin' 'em at people, like she tried to do the one time Aegina was acting all Tsundere over Sherpa. One of the times.

Or the "Remote Wilderness", as they call it.

What a shitty way to die, goddamnit...

Best of luck.

Thanks... I will need it.

That... bah! Nobody understood the dang challenge. It's called Pick My Pokemon for a reason, not Pick My Starter.... -.-

That does not change any of what I said, y'know.

Oh yeah. The breasts thing. It is pretty dumb in that regard.

Not only that, didn't he outright eat half of someone's corpse? If he was meant to be joking, well... Why does he joke to himself? There was nobody around when he said that!

Again, I didn't really see much of the hack's story, just snippets that were posted on the FEUniverse thread. But what little I saw was rather questionable.

They ripped my arm! At least it wasn't both of them...

Ouch, your poor arm!

Now this definitely explains what I saw of the last map...

Hey, now... Don't get ahead of yourself. We'll get there. Don't be impatient.

Why this deadline? I never got why we hurry up.

Without delving into details... Promotions cannot happen after chapter 13.

I have no idea what's going on. Is it Reese's sister?

The Chosen One's identity is unknown at the moment. Don't feel bad for being confused, this is the first time she's been mentioned.

Hey, it's me.

It's you, yes. Honestly, I can't blame you. Trimier's design is gorgeous.

OH DEAR LORD NOT ADEL

Wooooowwww...

Vantageman lives on!

How many close calls has he been through at this point? He's positively unbelievable!

Derrick is the one true armor knight of the Berwick league now!

Always has been.

...I never got this meme. I don't even know where it came from. But it works, in this case.

Not gonna lie I love this map.

I do too kinda... but I'm probably going to hate its guts after today.

I may have missed some stuff.

Maybe.

Don't worry, man. I'm just happy that people enjoy my crap at all. Replies are merely a nice bonus, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to reply.

 

This is not a trick:

Spoiler
Fpkhfo4e o

Hoo, boy... This map.

Bfhspwx0 o

First of all, I'd like to point out that this map looks absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite map in the game, aesthetically.

What's that? Why is there no enemies? Well... Way back in chapter... 4, I think it was? I mentioned that prior to the prepscreen, the game zooms in on the map. This allows you to get an unobstructed view of the map, without enemies or fog.

Nuw8lrx2 o

I'm did this because, well, there's fog. I wanted a screenshot of that map without fog.

Anyway, the team. I have brought Thaddy to open that chest. I have also brought Faramir to get happiness. I expect Arthur, Ruby, Ward and Reese to frontline. As I said back in Impossible Dream, Ward and Reese will come to sidequests from here on. That's pretty nice.

...And then there's Adel. I was unsure as to whether or not I should bring him here. It's far too dangerous, and he's nowhere near sturdy or agile enough to survive in this map... But eventually I decided to try it, for reasons that we'll see soon enough.

R8purdyd o

Here's what it looks like with the fog.

This map is... Hell.  Fog is already a great start, but you know what else is there? Archers and crossbowmen with Overwatch, chu-ko-nus aplenty, a lancer near the temple, enemies with high crit, two friggin' ballistae that cover nearly the entire map, HALF THE ENEMY FORCE IS HIDDEN... The only thing it's lacking is an assassin or two. Remember chapter 10? It has nothing, nothing on this one. See those units overthere? At least one is dead. No questions asked. There's no chance I'm getting out of here unscathed. None. I'm not good enough to pull it off.

Oh, but wait! The fact that the enemies are hidden doesn't matter! I have Larentia, she can use Watchful to reveal the hidden foes! See, right there, on the map? Even though... she's not on the deployed team? In fact, she's not even present in the list of active units. Yeah... More on that later.

3yzfwtbk o

There is only one enemy visible from the start.

8nsqajto o

This does not bode well for the future, does it?

Oi8hiy9n oWha... What's all this people doin' here!? I gotta raise the alarm!

Kdcq6fqp oMl29mq0v o

Lastly, Sienna's also here. She has literally no stats. I really hope we don't have to escort her.

Uzieeklf o

Let's have some text.

Lcsoxu87 o

Meoilxpy oThen we have until dawn to finish our mission. (20 turns) Once day breaks, we'll be revealed, and we won't be able to sail away without being pursued.

Lgjkwhcy o This is our brilliant plan. We're going to kill everyone so fast, they won't even know what hit 'em - literally, they won't know who we were, so they won't be able to brand us traitors. Well... At least Owen retreating won't matter today. Yet again.

3cxl4xfi oStill, our first priority is to see Her Highness safely to the Temple of Oaths to see Duke Bernard.

Meoilxpy oYou're right. Ensuring that Princess Sienna accomplishes her mission comes before all else.

3cxl4xfi oThen let us begin. Onward, soldiers!

3deekvb4 o

Reese...!

Meoilxpy oIt's a dangerous task, but will you do it for us?

5utjtvhw oOf course. I will go ahead and wait until Her Highness arrives.

Zig1fg6v oMay the Goddess protect you, Dame Larentia...

5utjtvhw oThank you, Your Highness. And you as well.

Qrr7lwhl o

No!

K9irrut6 o

NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY FLIER WITH WATCHFUL! PIECES OF SHIT! COME BACK! FUCK YOU REESE, FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU UP THE ASS AAAAAAARRGHH

This. This right here is the map's greatest fuck-you to the player. What's that? This looks like the PERFECT map for Larentia!? FUCK YOU BITCH, YOU DON'T GET TO HAVE HER!

Oh, but not to worry! I still have another unit with Watchful! She can save the day, reveal all the hidden crossbowmen and

Czene. It's Czene. Czene is the only other unit with Watchful.

We're so fucked.

There is one thing playing in my favor, however: I had to reload saves on this map so many times in my past runs, that the enemy locations were drilled into my memory. As a result, I mostly know where all the enemies are. Mostly. I'm probably forgetting one or two, and that will cost someone their life.

G7hz6kit o

Zig1fg6v oOf course. Please focus on the battle rather than worrying for my sake. I am sorry for asking you to risk your lives in this way...

Meoilxpy oI am Your Highness's servant. If you ordered it, I would die for you.

Zig1fg6v oAre you loyal to me because I am the king's sister?

9qk5ifz8 o Well, I dunno about Reese, but I like you precisely because you don't care that you're Volcens's sister.

Meoilxpy oHuh...? That's not so, Your Highness...

Zig1fg6v oThen please don't call me "Your Highness" anymore. It's unnecessary.

9qk5ifz8 oSienna, coolest royal this side of Lazberia. You sure you wanna do that, Sienna? For someone as stiff and cold as Reese, to display such warmth might be quite the difficult undertaking.

Meoilxpy o...As you wish...

Zig1fg6v oNow then, you'd better get going. Though it pains me, I will wait here.

Meoilxpy oYes... Thank you. Please stay safe.

9qk5ifz8 oNotice that he's avoiding calling her anything now. Poor guy cannot fathom calling her Sienna... Hah!

3nmumznk o

You know what would be hilarious? Doing the map perfectly and then failing to get to the temple in time.

Ej4s9lya o

Thankfully, we don't have to bring Sienna to the temple as a unit. We just have to seize with Reese instead. Phew... That would've been an even bigger dickmove than the Larentia thing.

Oi8hiy9n oEveryone, look! An attack! C'mere, quick!

Pweoasr8 o

First, Thaddy hides. I don't want anyone getting close to him.

B6e5j0nh o

You know, someone like that. Hidden archer, by the way. Strong start to the map.

A1xhcdlc o

Good. Thank you, Adel. You're only here to get spear points. More so on this map than any other. Believe me, I would never have brought him to this death trap of a map otherwise. Heck, I greatly hesitated to deploy him still. But there's something in this map he can greatly benefit from.

Arz4mlxn o

Quick, take out the archer!

51ru0kys o

You...

Adiajawn oR5ntyv3b o

No! What!? It's the first enemy! The first enemy! If this is how you guys are going to perform in this map, I fear for our future...

B4bkswv1 oHcgnedbp o

Excellent. I knew I could count on Reese.

62fwtddy o

And now I can count on him even more.

Wl9yw0ht o

Arthur will use Hurry to move to this hex.

Mnnk8xui o

And there we go. The reason Adel is here.

Oi8hiy9n oWait-- Who're ya!?

2ggnmnxn oWho, me? Nobody in particular...

2ggnmnxn o...! What!? Who's all that people!?

Oi8hiy9n o...Aw, heck. I want nothin' to do with this! They can duke it out with this guy, I'm stayin' back!

56trr1vc oBdpl2mgk o

Morrow is the final bounty target. He's just chilling in Berwick Island, because why the fuck not. As a level 28 scoundrel, he gives a metric fuckton of experience. He doesn't have Counter or Vengeance, though he does have a brave weapon, which sucks. Sunder is kinda scary, but... Honestly, Adel can handle this guy. All I want is for Adel to level up and get a spear point. After that I might not even make him leave the starting area. This map is too dangerous.

Eftvuhyy o

Speaking of Adel... might as well try this.

Vfyn2llu oGmhdcmhq o

Awesome.

21cglqtx o

Pretty sure this guy is passive until he's attacked. The chances of this working are slim, but that's not what I need.

Psj6lp5j o

Heh... Don't complain. At least you don't have to fight the soldiers on this island. Unlike us, knights of the kingdom this island belongs to. How positively ironic...

Cq7zb7b6 o3upy8sed o

Oh, shit! I can't believe it! He got through Arrowbane!

Hotisf5a o

How neat. Please join me already.

Fxcrqs0c o

Come the second turn, Ward gives us advice.

3cxl4xfi oIf one of us can get to it, we will be able to see much more clearly.

Edgvlelq o

I know, I'm leaving Arthur in Sunder range. I'm afraid it is necessary. Faramir gets one-rounded by Morrow.

He2xc043 o

Besides, Arthur can tank a crIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Xvhqvcw0 o

Oh my God and he failed to shield himself, too... Healthbar was still going down when I pressed F12. Make no mistake - he only has 15 HP now. Pretty sure Morrow doesn't even need a crit to down him...

3binqkwm o

...Oh! Faramir's lucky shot put Morrow in heal mode, and now he's wasted his one concoction on top of sparing Arthur. That's... beyond fortunate. Wow.

Sqe2mevd o

And this guy's just not doing anything. Going surprisingly well so far!

Oi8hiy9n oLike hell I'm gonna fight these guys. I'm too young and handsome to die in this backwater hellhole!

Shap1rcg o

Heal up, Arthur. You can't die yet. I forgot to bring heal orbs along, by the way. It's all mend orbs. Not gonna lie, I'm not that upset. We can't afford to hoard on a map like this.

Uy4ompdv o

I forgot to screenshot the healing. Can you tell I was shitting my pants the whole way?

Qdtpv9ee o

Okay, you folks. We don't have all day. Or night. Advance cautiously. Careful... Careful...

Yyguneto o

...Why did I-- WHY DID I DO THAT?!

0oyc3zfz o

I JUST CHARGED IN WITH REESE. FOR NO REASON. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME.

K8e1oeit o4ztryrwb o

And he got stopped by a single bolt, too...

Irzwdlyk o

Okay, Arthur. You were off to a rough start, but it's still early enough to redeem yourself. A bit of luck would be much appreciated. We need all the damage we can get.

Z8gznxkf oXdpxfz23 o

Okay! Way to go!

Afr7ajbi oOwyc1c3k o

...You serious? Ahhh, whatever. That could've been much worse. No matter.

Kmya5nfm o

Oh yeah, Reese is getting attacked again.

8dtshqab o

NOW he uses his shield for all four bolts? Not before, when it could've helped him!? Son of a bitch...

Eu3ywcti oEp1s7zt9 o

At least he's fast enough to counter range 1 attacks. That's handy. The guy might just go down right now.

Sflksnlz o

It's been with us the entire game, but I think this is it for the Perseid... And I cannot repair it, either. A shame.

Tjisbwdl o

OH MY GOD THERE'S A LIGHTNING MAGE HERE

Ilixgasd o

Away with that pesky injury. A crippling is the last thing I need today.

1hopumb4 o

This was super reckless. There could've been a hidden enemy in the lower forest hex...

By0izhqa o

...Okay. Could be worse. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to have Reese attack the crossbowman immediately next turn...

Eeqzxigu o

It's just not possible. Owen needs to dive for cover. Now, if Morrow could just fall into the trap...

Bvjhatai o

Ahh, he did it! Now, Adel... Crit!

Mhu9fui2 o

I...

Cmg1tm8z oQgcmmgpq o

...I...

Rygikrtf o

Only way that could've gone worse is if he got hit twice. Oh my goodness, Adel...

Kakwyve2 o

...Oho! Perfect, he wasted his turn Overwatching instead of doing something useful!

Rcvwgwqt o

That mistake shall prove to be fatal!

H55sepwt o20ubuydi o

A level, too? Make it a good one.

Xlcwz9ae o

Speed.

...Sigh... Okay, then.

Fdxpx0fk o

Oh, no, the priest is on the move...

...Wait! That's good, actually! He parked himself where Ward can reach him!

Iyof949e o

Okay, but first...

Ze7nb0cc o

I'd like to go for a capture, if at all possible.

Zuncdysk oGler4tkg o

Oh, well. At least he didn't take any damage from that.

Egtbv5tx oU5rmgfih o

We'll go for the kill, then. Just throw everything you have at him!

6mjk8g9g o

...W-What...?

N6txun3a o5ulebxec o

Oh, you...

9b8wipwc oIzmzv2tq o

All right, then. Because I know how Faye rolls: I'm having her use a red-durability sword that Arthur was carrying. That way, there's no chance she'll Adept Morrow and steal the kill from Adel.

6edzo42n oVb0yf2hh oOpfswjft o

Pretty sure Adel can kill him now. And we're on turn 4... Heh heh heh... That spear point is ours!

Uzivbgwa o

Ward will deal with this bishop.

Bryev3za o

You know, when you think about it, these are just innocent Verian healers who happened to be in the wrong place-- Ohhhhh, for fuck's sake...

Vr06sjdz o

ASSHOLE

K1x5kmq2 o

Swift spear for the win. But that's not a kill...

Fyl38px0 o

Thaddy, quick, approach the chest

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HE STUMBLED INTO YET ANOTHER HIDDEN ENEMY

THADDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Nzkzj468 o

KKkkkkkuuwwwwhaaaaa...

F7co6t9n oQfiawvxf o

I think my heart just stopped.

Kughlgqw o

So this is what just happened: I tried to have Thaddy hide near the chest. There was a merc hiding in the way, initiating combat when Thaddy ran into him. Thaddy almost died.

Thanks, 11-2. Very cool.

Usijy0gy o

Now I can't properly savescum Morrow, because Thaddy desperately needs to get out of harm's way. Sigh...

Ugngamnv o

AAAAAAAAAAAACK

L5rvi4wa oCpsjhpge o

Okay. Good.

Sgrvqdiu oSdpgjzc3 oSgmsitjg o

Oh, please... MY ENTIRE ARMY IS GETTING SHREDDED. STOP.

Cssjgqc2 o

Guard, guard! The merc can kill him now!

Drcafqzi o

MORE SUNDER!? DOES EVERYONE HAVE FUCKIN' SUNDER OR WHAT!?

8bbh2xwc o

Of course, he ate a crit. Hoooolyyyyy shit...

Oi6zlu2e oGilm6sv8 o

Look, let's just...

3nqzyyah o

Fuck off, Morrow.

Wsojgrqz o

......

6zzux35h o

No spear points. I was so disappointed I didn't even screenshot it.

......

Nope. Fuck this. I am getting those spear points. Reset!

Lckqdnct o63xjzmmv o30kffvgx oGotukk7x o

I know this is kinda stretching the "savescum for Adel's spear level" exception, but we're going to be redoing all of this nonsense until he gets one. I didn't even benefit at all from the reset. Mostly everything happened the same way.

Efkdkjzt o

Well, okay, Adel actually hit Morrow this time around and avoided all damage, but Reese and Ward still lay in ruins. One point? Is it too much to ask? Pretty please...?

5wcm0ien o

...!

TWO

Sxnocp2x o

I was so shocked, I failed to press F12, but... Yes. It has happened.

Ladies and gentlemen... Two spear points. Adel got one point from his level... and also one from tossing a verutum at Morrow.

I literally made that face in real life. Not even joking. I mean, maybe a little less horny-looking, but... Yeah. I made that friggin' face, complete with the hands on the cheeks and all.

If Reese or Ward die before turn 10 I am going to kill myself.

Oi8hiy9n o...Well, shucks. They beat that guy. Now, here's hoping they've forgotten 'bout me...

Saokto4x oVmfhy0nd o

Don't die. Reese, your survival has never been as crucial as it is right now. Two spear points means... Heck, it might even mean he promotes next time! I mean, I don't expect him to get any more points today, but... Yeah! 29 points is ideal!

U1e4euwp o

Surely two blows should be enough to avoid that 8% failure chance?

O6plpjzd o

Good.

Vhvehuq4 o

Make it a good one, girl.

Scdu31do o

Whoa! That's pretty damn good, actually!

Xhe8btkc oXcagszjl o

Adel, here is a reward for your efforts.

Ivxnefed oPylzqpiw o

Ward, you patch yourself up too. I want no chance of losing those sweet points.

9sumz1ia o

Fucking hell... He ate another critical hit. This just ain't Ward's day...

5uux3xr9 oDdbxizx1 o

At the rate things are going, he's gonna need that point.

Zrlkoafw o

Hmm... Ohhh, I'd almost forgotten, Reese is critproof thanks to Simpette's circlet! This is good, then. Let's go.

You like the moniker, by the way? I shamelessly stole it from Shrimperor over at the teehee chat. Serves the same purpose as Sister-In-Heat.

Du74ep9x o

That's perfect. We have officially conquered the southern side of the island.

Iak8mp7i oYileywld o

Now, it is important to nab this chest. Vanishstone can help Owen get through and heal the frontliners in spite of the ballista.

Oi8hiy9n o...Good. Good! They're leavin' in the other direction. I just gotta stay frosty, and everything will turn out 'kay for me...

59sj5b46 o

This is why I don't bother levelling Thaddy. There's just no point.

P5favm1a o

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Otuoysbn o

Okay, okay, wait. Wait just a minute.

If you're wondering how Faramir is being targeted even though there's noone around to reveal him in the fog, well... Hidden enemies. What did you expect?

Awcfn4ed oLloy1xzh o

Let's see... First, he gets out of the ballista's range. Losing Faramir would be terrible.

Fle9snjz oYwgdlwwb oZiibsyxc o

Owen patches up Ward's sore old bones.

90krw8oi o

And now, let's put my memory to the test. I'm pretty sure that flag's the ballista's location and those other flags are its range. I didn't count any hexes, this was done entirely by memory. That's how much I've suffered due to that goddamned ballista in the past.

7sg3sdrl o

Let's give it a turn. I want to be sure about the ballista's range. If Owen steps in firing range by mistake, it's all over for him.

Ceo1dn0v o

Okay, it appears those are safe spots.

J6kxwgqk o

Hand over the stone...

Yvammylz oLkihnn2z o

Now... Let's continue putting my theory to the test. If Adel gets shot, we've confirmed the range and we're good to go.

6p6jwa5z o3wprdjkn o

Hurray.

Qxcyp4jo o

We cannot afford to delay any longer. To be entirely forthcoming, all this time wasting was just a product of me being scared shitless of losing those spear points. But if we keep waiting, they won't even matter, because we won't be able to finish the map!

Time to charge forward.

...Nngh...!

Akcbisgl o

AHHHH I KNEW THIS WAS COMING AND IT'S STILL SCARY AS SHIT GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH

A1noetw8 oGmrg4rvj oVffiqoph o

Fuck.

F5jvxwkx o

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. HOW THE HELL IS THIS REASONABLE. THERE'S LITERALLY NO OTHER WAY. YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THIS. WHAT THE FUCK, BERWICK SAGA.

...I mean, Reese is crit-proof. You know what? In retrospect, sending Reese would've been way better. I was completely dumb.

Yibcabsl o

Uhhh he knelt. How neat.

Hpiqzmkc oJbvh0d4j o

COCK

You know, I'm feeling tempted to go back and rename the update to "Critical Saga 4: Ward Edition". Except Ward isn't the one dishing out the critical hits.

Stwz7hud o

Half the army is half-dead. Let's half-fix that.

H2yau2d8 oPjl4nazv o

The worst part now is that I'm pretty sure Faramir is the only one who can attack the crossbowmen. And he didn't get fully healed by that.

Mr7zntzv o

But, hey. Light skill. It's somethin'.

Gbaneqag o

Ahhh, Arthur makes it across! That changes the situation.

Xjjqobkf oUp4ukzgh o

So let's see what we're up against. Oh my God, killer crossbow coupled with killer arrows, Overwatch and Hide... Kaga!

M3y8w81r oAanpuhbm o

This guy's... This guy's kinda pathetic, not gonna lie.

Vgl67864 o

Why. WHY DID I DO THIS!? SHOOT THE KILLER GUY WITH FARAMIR AND HIS BOW, THEN DESPERATION WITH ARTHUR! WHY DO I FAIL AT BASIC TACTICS!?

J7xsayul o

It worked. Whoop de do. Urgh...

Kgxolcvf oPemw8lix oL07tn2ga o

Crossbowman 1 out of 2 is down, at the very least. Progress is progress, even if it's shittier progress than we could've potentially pulled off.

T4hyuugd o

Oh... Hoo, sweet, sweet sight for sore eyes... The save screen! This was such a critical save that I took a screenshot of it, I was so absurdly relieved to see it. Adel's two-pointer is safe. Awwww, thank God...!

Q9bazehi o

Get out, get out, get out! You cannot die here, Faramir!

2apo7sf7 o

Jesus!

Blq94tci o

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH IN YOUR FACE LITTLE SHIT, BLISTERING BARNACLES WAY TO GO RUBY

Mspieuti o

...Kuh... He can't die from this, but... Still...!

T9kb7hes oOlp5nrcq o

Oh.

...Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft! Get punked, crossbowdick. Now you're gonna die.

Y7zwyxjx oWqdu3sdp o

This is an Overwatch asshole. I tried having Ward charge forward and he got caught. Does it really surprise you? Doesn't surprise me, not in this map.

Kk3swv1a oHzhpa0su o

Another paladin shield down the drain. Sheesh...

Avylkfyg o

Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I was right about the ballista! 5 points for me!

Lyv0ditl o

Now, time to play our cards right. First, Arthur can use Hurry to step onto the cliff this turn. He'll be able to reach the ballista next turn like this.

Eqpgzok7 o

Another guy back there. Nothing we can't handle.

Myswlzlh o

Yeah, that's a good way to waste your turn, archer. Very good.

Wgaebqzp o

Ward is poisoned.

...Sigh... You win this round, archer.

K8xtcpex o

This guy can't reach them, at least.

Alcrhqg7 oBaqranfh o

A guy with a rare axe and Pursuit. Pursuit in spite of -4 AS. Who's even going to get doubled by this asshole? Marcel? I don't think even Marcel...! Derrick is physically unable to get that far!

0yjzofmx o

...Hahahahahahahahahahah! Tempting enough, but this could kill Adel, so no. Not a chance in hell. Ideally, I'd like to keep Adel as well as Adel's two spear points.

Knuajybf o

This is better.

Slktayaz o0shwwmw5 oMhwimaro oLabsqfii o

Waaaahahah! Adept-girl doing her thing!

Ybk1rtnw o

Oof! Seriously not Ward's day today. He's been struck by lightning, cut critically, shot in the head (critically also), poisoned... The poor guy's gonna need a nap when we get back to base.

A80by9xh o

Okay, don't waste time. Arthur, the ballista.

7mwd7vat oQecivwt3 o

ARTHUR! IT'S AN IMMOBILE OBJECT! HOW DO YOU MISS!?

Ihmhutig oS4vfdudg o

Uhhh, new archer!

Rxh25mmk oRlsipd6z o

He has... Broadhead arrows? Why, up here?

P7noxjzb oTtaapmrn o

Anyway, Ward takes Faye's vulnerary to patch himself up.

Ljkysykv oIuoibrzd o

Oh wow, nice dodge, Ward!

N3zxn6al o

The Overwatcher set up another Overwatch. My idea is to spring the trap with Ruby.

Gc5yd95o oX8izum40 oZ558a4nv oZkfrqyo6 o

Well done, Ruby. That's exactly what I was hoping would happen. An injury and poison. Perfect.

Msji1dtz oL86iltct o

And with that, we get to Colichemarde this guy.

Jryvwipa o

...Damnit, Ruben! Math! That was not a 2-shot!

Xylmviuz oJbu1rbru o

Thank goodness Faye's speed and skill are through the roof.

6y9fev3k o

Buff myrmidon?

Oxpo14vf o

Aww. Well, more Adepts, at least.

Jmht5xal o

Aaaaaaaaaaack!

Qm0mq7dg o

Hah! Can't touch this.

Ybp4dz7i oHtmdrydi o

Hwahahahahah! That's what I like to see! Some luck going my way, for once.

8my08lhh oH01wyn03 o

To finish the turn, Faramir gets healed and follows the rest of the team.

Gbvpgcin o

I'm pretty sure Ruby gets killed by the ballista. Wonderful.

Sh0u6cqt oIwvpt7ua o

Not anymore.

8brdqski oJhs8qgxc oBk9clo9r o

Oh God!

Y3nynjgk oKidjpn5d oUok0w2vx o

You're so annoying. Even with useless arrows.

B6adex5c o

Okay, new idea. Since Arthur failed, Faye can do it instead.

Xfzwu4ve oOkyhhwir o

Well shit, I'm not going to need the vanishstone in the end! That's perfect, I know exactly where I'm going to use it, in that case.

Nyznygj1 o

YOU!

8ab6p6yy o

A LANCER. A LANCER IN THE FOG. AND HE HAS A GOOD LANCE, TOO. THIS MAP. I SWEAR.

Yjzw975j o

Please kill this fellow, Arthur.

Yeah, yeah, I know, he has Counter and can kill Arthur. "x2" isn't the same as "+", though. Pretty sure this sword attacks consecutively, so Arthur will kill him before he can retaliate.

...That being said...

Lfwd64qe oZsxflytc o

Better be safe than sorry. Faramir can Jeigan him.

Flyepsyr oD34ci7fp o

Down with you! Just gotta take care of that archer, and the... Uh, second level of the island? Is ours.

Yxna923c o

Good level?

Cyobxolv o

Bad for what I'm used to from you, Arthur.

Korhiwde o

Ey, that's wonderful.

Gy9jtwix o

......

No.

NO!

FUCK YOU, GAME!

YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

34 HYBRID MIGHT CROSSBOWMAN HIDING IN THE VERY CORNER OF THE FOREST!

THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT!

THE ONE ENEMY I FORGOT ABOUT!

Beocwb4g oKubtympx o

Fucking hell... Well, at least he survives if he uses his shield--

Ovnfw3bv o

What!?

HE WOULD'VE LIVED IF HE USED HIS SHIELD! HE WOULD'VE LIVED! WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE!? ARTHUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRR!!

1p5ejvsy o

You died as you lived: By failing miserably. Your mother will fall into a deep depression and Mark will grow up a scarred, lonely child. All because you couldn't raise your shield. Good job, Arturo. Good fucking job.

And now I'm down another paladin. How the hell does one lose Arthur, Elbert and Clifford, and yet FRIGGING ADEL IS STILL KICKING!?

Wcahcg32 o

I can't believe it. On top of Kaga's middle finger, that was some of the worst luck I've had in a while. Thanks, game. Really nice. Urgh...

Fzukruer o

Overkill? Perhaps. But can you really blame me?

Oyesi0ft oXovjdqaa o

This never feels satisfying. Who cares about revenge? Arthur's still dead...

7hz3lyyc oM42pvh0y o

I am so done with all of you. This is our own knights! These are Verians! And they're giving me more trouble than the blisteringbarnacled Razites!

Ce8ol3ex o5c2m6ege o

Doesn't help that the Leen Meen Creet Macheen Reese ain't feeling like living up to his name today!

Iawkfgfr o

Don't you die too, Ward. I know you can't die for real, but... Fuckin' hell, at this rate we'll get to the endgame and you'll be my best tank, just like in chapter 1!

Zycrcjww o

Is this all you know to do, Owen?

Jzpuhwoz o8qxpstwe o

You fuck off too.

6j5eicfp o

...Real talk, though. If Adel gets to promotion today, I'm going to laugh my ass off.

Gpw0xgwh o6kcoxdqo o

Of course. Of course there's horsemen in this map. They weren't about to miss the party.

Anc0ehms oJipsrlzx o

There's two of them and they suck.

4sv3duzt oD14kdx5n o

You know it's a sad day when the horsemen are the only enemies I'm happy to see.

Etpvn4kd o

...NOOOOOOOOOOO ONE-SHOT

Ydbmsmfw oSigh... All of this, to protect the King's stupid decision to imprison Duke Bernard... Well, I suppose there's no helping it. Have at you!

Lwvtvyel o

...Did she just... What...?

How do you parry a ballista bolt? They're longer than her!

Oh wait, right. Buff myrmidon. Hahahah... Ohh, man. What an absolute unit.

Ydbmsmfw o...What... Did she... Did she parry the... No way-- What kind of demons are we facing!?

Yx1fnotw o

...Ahh, fuck it. We don't have time to be messing about. Go and kill things, Faye.

Msjm5ce7 oQkxhrm0l o

Colichemarde couldn't get the job done, so instead, she pulls the cutlass.

Li7moxqo oPkeqgoai o

Reese and Ward get attacked, to varying degrees of success on the enemy's part.

8asdfyb9 o

Thankfully, without the second ballista, Ward can get healed safely by Owen.

Vyklkkgi o

Better watch out, though. If Owen makes the wrong move, he'll die. And I'll die afterwards.

S4jx3pus o

Oh look. It's another mage. This one with thunder, for extra range. Amazing.

L2rtr9lp o

Go fuck yourself, Your Holiness.

1jc6oadq o

Heresy? Nah, man. He's one of the bad guys.

U1gppdpk o

...Wha...

Qr6fdt4v o

He missed a 97. A 97.

Please join me so I can send you to the bench forever. The only thing you're good for is saving Faye.

Veq6exlg o

I'm pretty sure Lyle can one-shot Faye, too. Everyone can one-shot Faye. This isn't going to end well... Could this be it? The first map where I'll lose more than one unit?

Oefjxlf0 oVagykyhe o

Probably. Lyle is really sturdy, there's no way Faye will be able to one-round him, or even two-round him.

Zxmsfvll oKrwnou4y o

...Well, I mean, if she gave him this kinda treatment...

Krwnou4y oBlbndtbj o

Buff myrmidon, c'mon.

Bnjsvnsl o

YES! BUFF MYRMIDON! BUFF MYRMIDON!

D8hrdedv o

Oh man.

M9z6j3tq o

Maybe, but she'll just walk it off. She's survived worse.

Pfrppasx o

Nice.

K9qnpbfz o

Okay, Faramir. Can you please not fail again?

Xwseeanp o

Good.

4kjlf8cw o

I don't give a damn, unless it helps you join.

Irzyxdeq o

......

Zdgu2lhj o

Jesus, stop bullying Faye!

Ymqippsx o

Wooo! She's so slippery! Virtually untouchable!

Ydbmsmfw oGoddess, she's impossible to hit! Even Sir Lyle has failed! G-Goddess... Oh, Goddess...! Please, don't let me die here! I-I've so much more to live for... I want to see my little girl grow up...!

8kb5qxgm o

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH WHAT IS THIS

Z9igpr3h oEzndiq4p o

Oh.

Vnr7otde oNothing personal, kid.

Olz9y29v oNani!?

26shft3o oA9dx84so o

Pfffft-- What... He just reverse T-posed and took off flying! And here I thought Sasha's animations were ridiculous...

Gbytpzcl o

She's... Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place, isn't she...

Eyy, we can see the boss! More on him later, though.

Z6lus9bj o

At least I can accurately pinpoint the Owen death range now.

Tzhcyuv7 o

Okay, ballistician! It's time to die!

Ydbmsmfw oO-Oh... No! Ahhh! They've reached me! I'm good as dead...!

Oaash4gb oYou have been a good man your entire life. I will not allow this.

Ydbmsmfw o...! What!?

Bjnxtxj4 o

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREEN BREAK! HELL YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH GREEN BREAK! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

Ydbmsmfw o...W-What was that...? Am I seeing things?

2ts1ig3z oFqv1u1o4 o

At least she continues to dodge absolutely everything. That's something.

8icyifp4 o

You're up next, Faramir. Finish what Faye started.

Oaash4gb oNope.

Ccrhjg3h o

Pfffffffffffffffffffffff... Huhhhh...

Ydbmsmfw o...What is happening!?

Hs3wky5g o

......

I'm sorry, I'm... still trying to register what just happened.

Kx6ldqui o

...okay, then! I guess that guy is protected by the Goddess, or something. First a 1% green break, then a 2% miss. What... What even were the odds...?

Dxvdugxl o

Well, two can play at that game. You're protected by the Goddess? Ward is protected by a god!

Adr0wjvm o

Hmmm... I mean, a crit would do the trick...

3ivqwu7a o

But if he survives, Faramir is toast. I must risk Faye's life once more.

J6rzxzgy o

...HAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! FAYE IS SO AMAZING, LYLE DECIDED TO INSTEAD GO AFTER REESE, JUST SO HE'D HAVE A CHANCE TO LAND THE ATTACK!

Kg0d1dsy o

Faye is so awesome that people don't even try her even though they can one-shot her. Incredible. I'm so glad I stuck with her.

Ks9mymdx o

Vnr7otde o...!

Oi8hiy9n oUhhhhhh... Why, hello, good sir! Fancy meetin' ya here... Heh... Eheh...

Vnr7otde o......

Oi8hiy9n o...P-Please don't kill me...

Vnr7otde o...Stay out of our way...

Oi8hiy9n oYessir!

Vnr7otde o......

Oi8hiy9n o...O-Oh, man... I think I just shit myself...!

M5pauddo o

And now, I get to finish the ballista.

Ul4ez0zw o

If you're wondering, I'm using the cutlass because it's the only one of her swords with 100% accuracy. Wasteful, I know, but... C'mon. Any less and this guy would live.

Ydbmsmfw oG-Gwaaah...!

Oaash4gb oYeah, no. I'm committed to this. You're going to live, whether you like it or not.

Ydbmsmfw oW-Wahh... Aaaaaaahhhhh!

Yfwtdos4 o

Kvbwgecb oHe fell off the cliff. Works for me, I suppose.

Oi8hiy9n oOof! That was a bad fall...! Couple broken ribs, at the very least!

Ioy7vhzs o

2 turns, huh... Let's see what chances we have of beating Vadrius.

Nlpvzynf oKmgbvxxp o

Vadrius is... Honestly not that great. Without any skills to his name, a very generic kit and his butt glued to the temple, Vadrius won't put up much of a fight. Of course, he's not meant to fight, he's meant to stall. And he may just be able to. We're not doing great... Hmmmm.

Sbyrqsyv o

Healing for Reese.

Smivokt9 oAx4uzwys o

Okay, let's try this. If he could get through the shield, it'd be ideal.

7drvwmae o

You know we're starting to reach the end of the game when even sidequest bosses have this theme.

B1qdvlea o

OHO!

Qyg604j7 oPsjl0lys o

YES! THE LEEN MEEN CREET MACHEEN REESE DOES IT ONCE AGAIN! It's over. We've won.

J7l2l4yx o

Eyy... What's that?

Cxj1lisa o

Oh shit, Larentia! There was an enemy in the middle, I was too slow to catch him before he died.

Vtqyi9qi oWhat's with this woman? She's killed ten of our men!

Kw7uujxq oWell, she won't be fighting back any more with that gash on her arm.

Vtqyi9qi oWhy don't you scream, girl?

Lgjkwhcy o Don't forget that these are supposed to be Verians. Y'know, good guys like us.

Vtqyi9qi oScream for your friends to come out of hiding and save you.

9qk5ifz8 o Oh, you don't want that. Faye will dodge everything and kill you with Adept.

5utjtvhw oUrgh...

Keix2z52 o

Wait, what? That's not Faye...

Msksyrlv oKnowfqbu o

Oh, shit!

0ogh9pms o

They killed two enemies each with one attack!

Gbzeh3pi o

And that's the last one down.

5esxnglo o

5utjtvhw oWhat...? It can't be... Why are you here...?

7w12vzvq o

Right after that, Vadrius attacks Reese. Bad idea.

Dw24llpx oIjglu7fj o

...I stand corrected. Good idea.

Vue6cm3s o

Turn 19. I need to take Lyle down, so he doesn't kill Reese...

09lt57qu o

...Hmmm... I wonder... Is turn 20 instant death, or do we die at the end of turn 20? 'Cause depending on how it is... I think it's the latter, but I'm not sure...

M67zbuqp o

Ah, you know what? Let's risk it. The alternative is to risk Reese eating a fully-charged lance, anyway, and that would 100% give us a game over. Pretty sure this is as far as he can go while still being able to seize next turn. Lyle won't be able to kill him like this.

Dtsuq5vu oLzmeh7kr o

Adel? All right, then. Now, if you could just... stay close...

5ynuujr7 o

...Oh wow, he actually did. Why!? There was no benefit to staying there!

U5l3ltrv oIby8eo8r oBlnebvb0 o

Well, I'm not going to complain.

F1smz1il oR39qml2w o

...Oh my God. It's actually going to happen, guys. It might just... Oh, goodness...

Lmimfwh0 o

Okay, okay. A bit of Jeiganing for now.

Ytxgikv3 o

You know, Faye gets Astra next turn. If I am correct about turn 20, we'll have this in the bag. Until then, she can use the levin sword to soften Vadrius up some more.

Pqwlqedg oHtwoqydd o

No damage... +6 extra.

Gaip0ogb o

Ohhh, jikes! That's too bad... Pretty sure she would've killed him already if that hadn't landed.

6jbjisjk o

Oh man.

Tkwlrdz4 o

Yes! YES! TURN 20 IS STILL GOOD! We did it. We won. We beat chapter 11-2.

And not only that...

Iv3yp0am o

I didn't even have to savescum this at all. Adel immediately pulled it off.

...I had to savescum later, when I went back to record this gif. But, that's not relevant to the LP.

Fykhcrjn o

Cry me a river, lancer.

Up1zcvg7 o

Yes... Yes...

Ajklq3iu o

......

C-Can I see that again?

Ajklq3iu o

...One more time. I cannot be sure that I'm not dreaming...

Ajklq3iu o

......................................................................

Adel promotes.

Adel promotes. In chapter 11-2.

It wasn't 11-1, as I had planned. It wasn't 12-1, which was my last resort. It certainly wasn't prior to chapter 11. It was... 11-2.

Possibly the toughest map in the entire game. And Adel used it as a training grounds.

......

You know, when I started this LP, I was a bit afraid it'd be less interesting that the past ones, growths being so static and whatnot. There was no chance for a ridiculous unit like Matthis, Marcus or Garo to come to be.

But... I was mistaken. It's for completely different reasons, but... Adel has done it. He has joined the club. Never had I dreamed this would happen... AND CERTAINLY NOT IN THIS MAP, OF ALL MAPS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! YES! I AM SO HAPPY!

I'm not even kidding, I spent the entire morning chuckling to myself like an idiot after this. Heck, I'm giggling now! Every time I see these screenshots I get the biggest shit-eating grin! I still can scarcely believe it.

And now's when he dies in 12-1. But, you know what? Even so. This is unbelievable.

Vn1vrkqq o

That horse has your name all over it, Adel. You've earned it. You've earned the goddamned world! You and I are gonna walk into the atelier, and we're gonna order a Greatlance from Orlando. And, you know what's going to happen next? Lumiere's going to watch you brandish it from behind her counter, and she's going to smile and say, "that right there's my goddamned fucking man"!

...Or, none of this will happen, but a man can dream. Holy shit, I am so happy.

Jezzvmpg o

Now, if Faye could survive the chapter, for once, it'd be the cherry on top of the pie. 16% chance that it doesn't happen. I wouldn't even be upset at this point.

Xduirpog o5qvnir3t o

Hah! As if. The ballista and Lyle couldn't touch her, what chance could this guy possibly stand?

9fnanefz o

Yes, traitors. And very happy to be so. God, that was satisfying... Adel promotes! What a wonderful thing to say! Adel promotes!

Rovk27ck o

Buff Myrmidon 2: Muscular boogaloo. Make it happen.

0wakbguz o

......

Please do not be alarmed, but... I do believe I just nutted.

This is glorious. All of this. Wow... Ahahahahahahah! HAHAHAHAHAH! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...! Ahem. Ahh...

Dl7cujry o

...On the other hand, this is a bit sad for Arthur. He's dead, and I don't even give a damn. He's been overshadowed by Adel's promotion. And, you know what? I'm sorry, Artie, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Tshumx6l o

The ending event is really, really long, but let's do a little bit now.

2pp116n5 o4abzffgq o

3cxl4xfi oNo, milord. No one has found her yet.

Meoilxpy oPerhaps she's still caught up in a battle with some of the guardsmen... Even with just the amount we've seen, she could still be having trouble... I'm concerned about her. Ward, have everyone double their efforts to search for Larentia.

S0d2492n o

But then, in an empty corridor...

Tzxstk7m o

...!

 

 

 

 

 

And that's it for today! That was... That was... Absolutely painful, but then Adel got to 30 spear points, so who cares? I cannot believe it. To think, I hesitated to bring him out of fear for his life... Not only did he survive, he did so in style! And Faye, Faye got 2 strength points, the buff myrmidon! Wow... That was great. Arthur dying is a shame, but I would still call that a success. Simply because Adel promotes. I'm sorry, I just... I cannot believe it. Adel promotes. Adel promotes!

Next time, Adel promotes. See you, and please fare as well as Adel has. Hwahahahahahah... Buh-bye~!

Ydbmsmfw oHwaaaahh! Haah... haah... What... What happened...?

Oi8hiy9n oDude, I watched you tumble down that cliff! Came to see if you were still kickin'. I can't believe you are! Buncha rocks all over the place, and you just happened to land in between 'em! Good thing I was here, though... Woulda drowned 'fore long if I didn't come getcha!

Ydbmsmfw o...You have my thanks. Clearly General Vadrius was mistaken when he deemed you a good-for-nothing troublemaker.

Oi8hiy9n o...Er, he did? Ah, whatever. Probably was right, anyway. Glad I could be of help, for once!

Ydbmsmfw oWhat about the enemies...? What is happening up there?

Oi8hiy9n oThey've invaded the temple. I couldn't get a good look at 'em... Could be anyone. Everyone else is lyin' on a pile o' corpses. The battle is lost. If they're here for the Duke, they sure as heck are gonna get to him. If we couldn't stop 'em, the guys inside are gonna get trashed.

Ydbmsmfw o.......

Oi8hiy9n o...Uh... Mate?

Ydbmsmfw o...Oh, thank the Goddess for her mercy...! This humble servant shall be eternally grateful to you, merciful Veria!

Oi8hiy9n oAll right... Well, once you're done prayin', I'll give ya a hand, and let's get goin'. The two of us ain't got a fightin' chance against these guys, especially not in your state. We can take one of the ships and return to Narvia while they're busy inside. I hope the King don't flay us alive for failin'...

Ydbmsmfw oT-Thank you for your mercy, Goddess Veria! Thank you so much...!

Oh well, we'll see how they handle battalions in future FEs, if they don't scrap the mechanic.

 There seems to be some assertion that we'll get them in some form in a Genealogy remake.

I could see them crossing the two with adjutants and them using it to reference others. Like Glade and Selphina being with Quan and Ethlyn, or Eldigan having the named Cross Knights, or including some Thracia bosses like the Chapters 19/20 guys under Blume.

Hell, if we talk about some stupid Judgral combo title, they could even use it to take advantage of enemies that got captured in Thracia and still want to die (See: Ishtar still working with Reinhardt, or one of the late bishop bosses having Veld). I am not saying this is a good idea.

Avoidable? There's no friggin' warning! You just kill a random unit and everyone standing on the hill gets paralized! How do you "avoid" it?

That was just luck. In my case, I had already taken it and half my army was standing on it. And Claude was, of course, able to reach everyone with his wyvern. Without divine pulse, deaths would've been unavoidable.

I don't disagree that it's utter BS blind.

It did catch me on hard, but not massively because it's not Maddening. where Dimitri is able to double everyone and has as much AS as the Wind Caller, a chapter you haven't even unlocked yet.

Maybe, but this is on the higher end of the spectrum, in my opinion.

I guess we have to agree to agree.

Certainly for blind players.

In this game, it seems. There are a few darker-skinned fellows (mostly brigands, which is... rather questionable, but that's a conversation for another time), and a couple of the playable gals are noticeably paler than the rest of the cast. It's not much, but it's something.

I didn't even ask about Berwick.

But I can't think of any as prominent as Yuni in Tearring, which I've already said I thought was yikes as all hell.

2 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said:

Yes. Which... I wouldn't call a good thing, to be honest. Don't get me wrong, it's fun to break the game, but when the game starts to more or less require that you break it, well... Yeah. Chapter 22 can go suck a dick, is what I'm saying.

As opposed to most titles where staves barely matter unless you're warpskipping.

Eh, I don't know. These next few chapters are shorter. The maps left are 11-1 (which this update covers), 12, 12-2, 13, 14 and 15. So... 6 maps, all in all. Of course, a few of these will be longer and require multiple updates, so... I'd say 2-4 months would be a fair bet on how long we've left.

First of all, I'd like to point out that this map looks absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite map in the game, aesthetically.

What's that? Why is there no enemies? Well... Way back in chapter... 4, I think it was? I mentioned that prior to the prepscreen, the game zooms in on the map. This allows you to get an unobstructed view of the map, without enemies or fog.

That does look pretty nice actually.

Unfortunately it reminds me of a Battle for Wesnoth map more than any other in Berwick. And you don't want my opinions on that game to pass to Berwick.

Here's what it looks like with the fog.

This map is... Hell.  Fog is already a great start, but you know what else is there? Archers and crossbowmen with Overwatch, chu-ko-nus aplenty, a lancer near the temple, enemies with high crit, two friggin' ballistae that cover nearly the entire map, HALF THE ENEMY FORCE IS HIDDEN... The only thing it's lacking is an assassin or two. Remember chapter 10? It has nothing, nothing on this one. See those units overthere? At least one is dead. No questions asked. There's no chance I'm getting out of here unscathed. None. I'm not good enough to pull it off.

Oh, but wait! The fact that the enemies are hidden doesn't matter! I have Larentia, she can use Watchful to reveal the hidden foes! See, right there, on the map? Even though... she's not on the deployed team? In fact, she's not even present in the list of active units. Yeah... More on that later.

TL:DR Berwick's ailments all in one horrifying map.

Morrow is the final bounty target. He's just chilling in Berwick Island, because why the fuck not. As a level 28 scoundrel, he gives a metric fuckton of experience. He doesn't have Counter or Vengeance, though he does have a brave weapon, which sucks. Sunder is kinda scary, but... Honestly, Adel can handle this guy. All I want is for Adel to level up and get a spear point. After that I might not even make him leave the starting area. This map is too dangerous.

That's a pretty neat thing. This game is so detailed.

The Wyvern also all have a patrol pattern. They move between 4 points, although their starting position isn't necessarily one of them.But I still don't see a practical way to take advantage of that. Even with the bushes leading there, you're still gonna be exposed when climbing that cliff. It's not like Thaddy's map where he can just jump from forest to forest until he reaches the bridge control.

The reason he's not doing anything is because he is carrying a bag. So he's just sitting in the range of the ballista to make it difficult to steal it.

Erzheimer has too much money. I mean, he doesn't even know how much he pays for his things, that's how little he cares. I wonder where he gets all that cash... Even the biggest of inheritances wouldn't explain this absurd amount of dough. Connections to Valery, perhaps?

Maybe he has a sweet deal where he literally prints the kingdom's currency for Volcens. Because he's literally printing the money, he has as much as he needs. Thing is, this is why prices are inevitably in the thousands of Denarii for everything. Because he literally causes inflation by abusing it to pay for things. Naturally, Volcens has no idea what's causing the inflation because he forgot about the deal a week after making it, and Herman being the snake he is has no intent of reminding him.

"Black ride the men who ride with Death beneath the midnight sky.

And black each steed, and grey each skull, and strange each ghostly eye.
They have given their breath to grey old death... and yet they cannot die" ~Robert E. Howard, "Death's Black Riders".

Thank goodness... I don't even want to know how Vanmilion intends to deal with all those black riders, but apparently that was enough!

Well, I'd take the Solomon Kane story I took the poem from for inspiration. Except, the fact is that poem is all that is known of Robert E. Howard's script after Weird Tales Magazine rejected it. Consequently there's been multiple versions of the tale written around it... often with very little resemblance barring the hero of the piece, the inclusion of the poem, and the existence of the Black Riders. Hell, there's even dispute on whether it was actually a Solomon Kane piece because he's not mentioned in it, it just fits the character better than his other characters.

I permanently recruit Clifford, and immediately lose him. I get Marcel his movement point, and he immediately dies because, ironically enough, he couldn't reach the escape point. I'm too bad to deserve nice things...

There's way too much irony in him getting that movement, but lack of movement killing him. Guess Derrick has to take up the slack.

I believe in Adel. Mostly because I see physical evidence of his existence in the game, and denying all the things he's done would be like denying science. Seriously, or are you going to tell me all the foes he killed by vantage were going to drop dead of other causes at that exact moment?

On 11/3/2020 at 5:36 AM, Saint Rubenio said:

I'd like to point out that Faramir is still not getting recruited. I have no idea why. Either it happens at the very end of the chapter, or he really does lose happiness if Faye dies. Guess if he doesn't join after the map, I'll have to deploy him in every map from here on out for a chance to get Faye's ending.

If so, he must be borderline depressed by now. Maybe that's why he acts like an edgelord? He's actually suicidal. Save the poor guy.

First of all, I'd like to point out that this map looks absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite map in the game, aesthetically.

What's that? Why is there no enemies? Well... Way back in chapter... 4, I think it was? I mentioned that prior to the prepscreen, the game zooms in on the map. This allows you to get an unobstructed view of the map, without enemies or fog.

Something about this map reminds me of Zelda II, though I can't quite put my finger on it. This is going to be brutal isn't it?

Let's keep the traitor party going! It's gotten Faye another Strength proc, and got Adel to his promotion! Man, why didn't we betray Volcens sooner?!

My ironman is still going, but not as well as it was. I, being a total dumbass, got Ruby killed in 6-2, thinking she'd either shield or proc Axebane on a 40%. She did neither, and Volo died to a crit from the bow boss. That was a mess and a half. Yet, somehow, 7-m went off without a hitch - no deaths nor life-saving dodges, got all the civvy requests and tactics points. I also now get to use Dusk Charm Faye tactics, just for fun. 

Also, this came in the mail today. It has all the manuals, and only cost me ~55 USD. I'll have to mod my PS2 if I want to play the game disc on the console.
