Toothache Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Experimental draft time! I wondered about the possibility of everyone using the same team and aiming for low turn counts. Given the finished rankings list voted on by SF members, I devised a list of ranking levels that each unit must be picked from, agreed by the drafters themselves, and then the game is played through all using the same team. [spoiler=Rules]Drafting: 1. This draft is for 5 players. 2. Roy, Marcus, Merlinus, Lalam/Elphin, and Fa are free for all to use. 3. The game will be played on Normal Mode. 4. Most units will remain undrafted Rules: 1. Undrafted units may recruit characters, rescue undrafted units and NPCs, trade, visit Shops and Armories, and dig up items in the desert. 2. Undrafted units may not do anything not listed above, including but not limited to meatshielding, building Supports, and opening Doors or Chests. 3. Use of the Warp staff is banned. 4. All Gaiden chapters are required to be visited. Chapter 20x (either route) does not count towards the total turncount up to 20 turns taken. 5. NPCs may do as they please without penalty. 6. The game must be played out to the True Ending. 7. Drafting takes a choice of one unit from each ranking level. Drafting is still done snake style, random order. Penalties: 1. Undrafted units have a 4 turn penalty per unit, per chapter. Exceptions: 1. Undrafted Thieves may be used to obtain necessary Promotion items. [spoiler=Draft Lists] Rank Level 1: Miledy Rutger Percival Lance Alan Rank Level 2: Thany Clarine Tate Dieck Niime Rank Level 3: Zealot Shin Echidna Saul Astohl Rank Level 4: Klein Chad Noah Bartre Lugh Rank Level 5: Sue Igrene Ellen Zeiss Cecilia Rank Level 6: Gonzales Lot Fir Yodel Oujay Rank Level 7: Treck Dayan Hugh Ray Karel Rank Level 8: Geese Lilina Garret Yuno Dorothy Rank level 9: Douglas Ward Wolt Barth Cath Bors Sophia Wendy Players: 1. Lord Raven 2. DragonLord 3. General Horace 4. ThreeOfSpades 5. Toothache Drafted Units: Alan, Dieck, Zealot, Lugh, Cecilia, Lot, Ray, Dorothy, Wendy Edited April 30, 2012 by Toothache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toothache Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Ok, team is picked. My thoughts so far: Alan: Badass in NM. Works as a great boss killer. Dieck: I guess. Would rather have Thany though. Probably get the first Hero Crest from me. Zealot: This is becoming startlingly similar to my last draft team Lugh: I guess an early mage isn't too terrible Cecilia: Staffbot comes along right when needed Lot: Early axes, later bows, durable as hell. A versatile choice imo Ray: Doesn't really help. I'm not expecting much Dorothy: Underrated unit imo Wendy: May as well not have bothered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 So from here, are we going to discuss if we have any changes? Or will we get on with the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hmm......Wendy. GRANDJACKAL WILL BE PROUD i will start on this either this weekend or in 3 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a098 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) Hmm......Wendy. we're only drafting 8 units? Opinions and stuff, since everyone seems to be doing it: Alan - the less useful cavalier. I always preferred Lance, but hey, earlygame pony is earlygame pony. Also, awesome strength. Dieck - The guy who single-handedly saved my ass on my second FE6 playthrough. Hand Axes=HYEZ Zealot - Marcus#2. Never used him (or Marcus actually) because you know, NM. He'll help with Chapter 7 though (shudder). Lugh - MAGIC=YAY (sorry, I'm a sucker for magic guys, i know he's not that good) Cecilia - late staffbot on a horse with crap growths but insta C staves. Mixed bag, honestly (showing up in the desert is not helping her case). BUT MAGIC=YAY Lot - I heard he's okay, but FE6 is not a good game to be an axe user. He'll probably end up just taking potshots or something. Ray - At least he can insta-promote. Too bad the next guiding ring is in the desert. BUT MAGIC=YAY Dorothy - The second archer. I don't like archers. Potshots for you missy. Once again, why only eight units? Edited May 1, 2012 by ThreeofSpades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothache Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) So from here, are we going to discuss if we have any changes? Or will we get on with the draft? No, just get on with it. I'll be happy to take suggestions about possible changes to the rank lists. I'm considering swapping Percival for Thany, since she seems to be a more popular round 1 pick in most NM drafts. Feel free to suggest other changes for future drafts in this mould. Edited May 1, 2012 by Toothache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Alright, I guess I'll start sometime this week, maybe even today if I have some more spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLord Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) EDIT: Chapter 1 Turns Taken - 5 Lance trades all of his equipment to Alan, and Bors gives his Iron Lance to Marcus. Alan then rushed ahead to the East followed by Roy and Marcus to kill the incoming enemies. They headed North from there, and Alan healed with his Vulnerary. After being attacked, Alan rushes past the surrounding enemies, towards the boss, followed by Marcus who was rescuing Roy. Marcus then dropped Roy, south of the boss, and killed any incoming enemies. Alan leveled up to Lvl. 2, while Marcus killed the boss with a critical Silver Lance. Roy then seized the throne. Sword - D Sword - E Lance - D Sword - D Lance - A Axe - E Edited May 4, 2012 by DragonLord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toothache Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) Using Bors to visit the village counts as a penalty. Also, may I suggest you ignore the village. 4 turns is a reasonable goal and you can still feed Alan at least a level's worth of exp without much of a problem. Just to show you how possible it is. In fact, if you're willing to risk an EP counter on turn 3, the village is still possible to get. Have Alan take Lance's vulnerary for an easier time.

Damn, forgot about that, must have misread it, I'll update my first chapter post when I redo it. I'm not really playing for the turn count, just for fun really.
