  1. I was referring to the fact that enemies come from the southeast, southwest and north, but then realized that by going east a little it could be possible to choke the southwest and north with one unit.

    I'm a bit confused.

    13x.PNG

    Columns are labeled A through Q

    Rows are labeled starting at the bottom with 1. I'll try to illustrate that on the map.

    I put Hector at H4 (and moved him to H3 to reduce damage intake).

    Marcus went to P2 (after the reinforcements were done at start of turn 5, he could go back and help out Hector. Heck, I might have been able to send him up to the village).

    The AI will not attack from the west if you keep your units out of range. Having them rescue each other is a big help, and Matthew using a torch will let you make sure.

  2. I just did 13x with a low-leveled Hector. The strategy does require a bit of cleverness, but I don't see a need to allow meatshielding. All it would do is let you grab the cash with Marcus, and I want to reward anyone who can afford to send someone to the village.

    How's this compromise?

    If you want to get the 5k village, you cannot meatshield (you must take a penalty if you do). Otherwise, you may meatshield (no counterattacking allowed, obviously).

  3. No, you can't end 13x early. If you have only Marcus and Hector, it might be possible to guard the south area (Yeah, it's dondon's strategy). You need to rescue Merlinus with Lowen and have all your undrafteds rescue each other. I'll check it out and see if I can beat it with just Marcus and Hector, then report back.

  4. I agree, the chapter is irritating without Matthew, but Hector is capable of soloing it efficiently. I'll let everyone else weigh in before I give an official ruling.

    Edit: I'm leaning toward allowing an undrafted Matthew to collect the Red Gem but to avoid combat.

    Undrafted characters may rescue NPCs.

  5. Yeah, I didn't see anything in the OP about it. Without Lyn mode, Lyn is incapable of doing anything. Seriously, game, why level 4? But, yeah, it's really hard without getting insanely lucky, so I hope that they are free.

    It's enough luck that my Priscilla has to survive at least one hit of two in order to get Hector onto the Mountain tile on turn one.

  6. Since we can only forge iron weapons and fire tomes, why not just say that you can use a forged weapon up to X atk value when equipped, that way the forge becomes less important later in the game and helps prevent RNG screwage. It's quite a shock to go from an effective 17 STR to 13 STR, don't you think? The forge is pretty cheap after all.

  7. Someone else post or something...

    Anyway, from here on out, I will find someone to make a bid for you if fail to reply within 24 hours of being notified that you are up to make a bid. I reserve the right to decide how many bids are made for you, so please log in once a day. If you know that you will be unable to log in, just make a post in this thread so that everyone is aware. If you need to be gone for several days, I ask that you find someone to bid for you.
