I wanted to ask, what do I do now? I had the idea to replace Haitaka, Kumagera, Candace and Nichol with proper child units (because otherwise this one mistake has cost me like 12 characters and I think that's too much), but I'm not sure if that's fair, considering the spirit of this challenge.

I don't know. I honestly wasn't expecting to lose this badly in no time at all. I have no idea what to think.

So, my idea for this was as follows: Since the four linked units of these guys are mercs, and thus haven't fully died (they're just unrecruitable), I was thinking, if I screw up yet again and lose them, that's it, you lose the linked unit as well. As a means to make this seem more like a fair adjustment and less like life support for Ruben.

I completely understand if you'd rather think of it as the latter, though. I've already cost you a ton of units lol

We really should've tried this with easier games like FE5 and FE8 first or something xD

We're doing this, goddamnit. We're winning or we'll die trying.

Okay, so, chapter 8 is done. I had a very Ruben idea to dash forward with Silas carrying Elise so I could freeze the soldier before he reached the village. When Flora froze him, I was still feeling confident. I had gone a long way, I was sure Elise could reach after a quick swap.

Then I checked the range and Elise couldn't reach. And Felicia was too far away. So the soldier reached the village and plopped 5 enemies on top of me. I panicked a bit and retreated, then began to pick off enemies... Except I couldn't pick off enough. One fighter survived. Felicia was forced to heal Elfuigi in roder to avoid the quickest run end in the history of Ironmanning.

Aaaaaand then the fighter decapitated Niles, which means I've lost Niles, Nina, Haitaka, Kumagera, Candace, Nichol and all of my freebie generics.

...I think my only consolation is that I look forward to Shrimpy's reaction to this. His blood's going to fucking freeze lol.

Conquest is totally the best game to Ironman, guys!

Uh, lemme check something. . .nope, it's not against the rules to shoot yourselves in the foot repeatedly in this subforum.  Good luck you two, you'll need it.

Maybe it should be, for the sake of irresponsible fools such as Shrimpy if nothing else.

Seriously, what kind of madman puts the lives of his troops at MY mercy?! Me, of all people!?

Thanks! It's already gone to shit, but we're still standing. Just about.

But I'd also have to warn myself, because writing about characters who I know nothing about canonically is, uh, well. . .yeah.

I think your run's plenty doable, as long as you're willing to class-change Camilla and burn and Arms Scroll on her, in that order.  Tee-hee~!

We're all just a bunch of sinners in the end, aren't we? Oh, well...

Eyyy, thanks for the vote of confidence--

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Shrimpy should count his lucky stars I cannot send her to her untimely demise because I wouldn't want to deprive him of Larentia. To hell with her, I'm using Beruka instead. Beruka is cool, unlike her.

...Someone save me from myself...!

ok, serious question: did you actually get a use out of her? Aside from recruiting her father?

Camilla's a damn good combat unit, but I think Beruka will work for this as well, as long as you promote her in time, promote her to the correct class, and swap her to lances immediately, in that order.  If she can hit D lances by a certain point in the game, I think she can pull the same cheese as Camilla.

She's legit great in his current run. And, actually, she was legit great in my last run, too!

That's the main highlight here, nobody cares about speed.

Hmmm... Duly noted. I'll keep it in mind if I make it five more chapters with enough units for full deployment.

The only real loss there is that he can't get Nina now.

Adel with the Spear Skill Speed combo, again!

Well, i cleared chapter 2 (including sidequests) without any loses of my own, however...

And no Nina means Christine had to suicide....

Which also means i can't get Esteban, lol.

Unless the game makes someone replace her?

Inb4 i have to kill him and remove Mozu from Ruben. Not like he was gonna use her anyway.

I am trying to get some use out of Sherlock. He is just way too blind...

 

Anyway, next Chapter is one of my favs, and is where i think i will lose my first unit

Good to know I gave her a few levels for no reason.

He starts blind, but believe me, if you stick with him the man becomes a monster.

Well, i will try not to kill him. If i finish the map fast enough i should be able to not kill him, so even if i don't get him, you can still have Mozu

Unless he dies if you don't Christine him, in which case it's also on you xD

Ahh, you already beat the two sidequests, then.

Yeah, Three Priests is awesome. Then tomorrow I get to progress a bit further and kill another 8 units!

He never reappears, but he doesn't end up in the graveyard. Your call.
