That's exactly why they're good. Is it cunning?

Either Aideen or Ethlin surviving to the second round? Madness!

Refa was the only one to catch on. Serra, make me proud. @Sharpoon: Ghost a team, if you just want to do a playthrough.

Just a clarification. We're still allowed to visit the arena with Bartre in 31x? It's technically against the rules but I don't think the rule was intended to screw over whoever gets BK.

Man, I remember this draft. Doing restricted characters + LTC was such a novelty back then. Why did I even ignore it? Oh, right. Medeus. Ch 20 – Why damage reduction, why? Turn 9 / 163 This was fun. Group 1: Marth, Julian, Chainey, Ellis, Maria (healers and door-opener) Group 2: Katua, Hardin, Kashim (Mediuth Strike Squad) Group 3: Mishelan, Saji, Cesaer and Zagaro (three guesses what their role is) Group 4: Barts, Astria, Oguma (Healer Bodyguards) Julian opened the door and got a face full of Meteor for his trouble. Marth killed the mamkute and then joined the rest of the MSS. Oguma ignored the enemies and joined the MSS as well, somehow Barts and Astria killed off the western enemies. Chainey, Ellis, and Maria went round the bottom of the map to meet up with the HB. They were attacked by the Hero, but he had a Thunder Sword, so everything was OK. Marth reached Meddy on Turn 7. Turn 7 PP: Marth deals 10x2 damage to Mediuth, Marth takes 22 damage (luckily Reserve exists ) Turn 7 EP: Marth deals 10x2 damage to Mediuth, Marth dodges (Bishop heals. Touché, Mediuth) Turn 8 PP: Kashim deals 5x2 damage to Mediuth, Kashim takes 22 damage Katua deals 4 and 12 damage to Mediuth, Katua dodges Marth deals 10 and 30 damage to Mediuth, Marth dodges. Victory is ours! Marth 45 kills 1900 EXP Jeigan 08 kills 0595 EXP Oguma 51 kills 2116 EXP Barts 26 kills 1171 EXP Kashim 55 kills 2682 EXP Julian 16 kills 1 loss 0659 EXP Hardin 49 kills 2204 EXP Ricard 02 kills 1 loss 0086 EXP Maria 03 kills 1631 EXP Astria 05 kills 0249 EXP Katua 53 kills 2587 EXP Chainy 03 kills 0080 EXP Elice 00 kills 0140 EXP Saji Fell in battle during “The Chosen Ones” Caesar Fell in battle during “The Chosen Ones” Zagaro Fell in battle during “The Chosen Ones” Mishel Fell in battle during “The Chosen Ones”

Can you hear the bells?

Best: FE3 Chainey Worst: Ninian

She's slow, yes, but she does crazy damage. If I said most people who dislike her like Valkyries for similar reasons, would that sway you? But to be serious, everyone in the "bad unit" list is salvagable, except Wendy, Sophia and Yuno. And the first two of those are salvagable through the magic of massive babying and favouritism.

HOW DID MISHA GET SO HIGH Mareeta 50 Fergus 50 Misha 50 Fin 40 Evayle 21 Othin 33 Halvan 20 Dagda 11 Tanya 20 Marty 16 Lifis 20 Brighton 31 Lara 10 Dalshin 8 Asvel 20 Nanna 21 Hicks 6 Carrion 22 Selphina 35 Olwen 23 Salem 20 Pahn 21 Tina 12 Glade 20 Dean 38 Eda 41 Homeros 18 Eyrios 18 Sleuf 20 Sara 16 Conomore 9 Delmud 20 Cyas 10 Galzus 20

Seth is not an Oifaye. Seth is a Seth. And Amalda is a Lawrence. Don't use her beyond pony filler.

Joshua's combat is pretty good. For a myrmidon. Unfortunately, his skill and speed are overkill against most non-boss enemies. His strength is pretty good, but he can't take a hit. Overall, he doesn't do anything special. And swordlock is another bad point. Incidentally, he's actually a prince, (*swoons*), but he has basically no plot importance outside of ch. 15. He should have taken a leaf from Levin's book (of Holsety) and made Audhulma Prf. I rate him a :Joshua: :Joshua: out of 10. Bias brings that to. :Joshua: :Joshua:

I'm not going to do what I did for FE6, since you need a lot of guys because of fatigue/minimum party sizes. Instead, use every dude unless he sucks. And use Olwen. She is the bestest ever.

I was going to say "go in blind, don't plan it beforehand" or something similar, but. If you're really not gunning for LTC or ranked, it's the only way to play. Also, add Oujay to the must-use list.

If you were looking to get the "truest" score, you wouldn't allow any bias at all. Even with my three points of bias (since the points about Gaebolg and the fixed pairing affect Cuan and Leaf rather than Ethlin, so technically they're bias as well) Ethlin will be positively skewed, because at least 4 people gave her a bias point. I guess you could say that if most people like her, she should be skewed, but my opinion's worth three times as much as anybody else's, and should be scaled as such. (That last statement was a joke, btw)

I can't join any more FE4 drafts for at least two months, but I will say: Exception number 6 should be added to every FE4 draft forever. Granted, I've never tried it, but is ClaudexAideen such a devastatingly broken pairing that rule number 5 has to be introduced to nerf it?

YES, I didn't miss a draft. I'm in, that makes 6. I have a cunning plan. Hopefully nobody else will work it out and steal my units.

The last character dies because once you get a death, you reset.

Theoretically, Ethlin is perfect. Healer on a horse, etc. I'll even be super generous and count her combat as a bonus, not a liability. BUT. -1 for leaving 2/3 of the way through Gen 1 and withholding a Legendary Weapon for 99% of the time. -1 for C staves, even when promoted. She can't do anything that a church or a crappy ring nobody wants except to sell for cash can't do. -0.5 for being bound to Quinn, preventing awesome stuff like Lex X Ethlin (Hello Elite Leaf) -1 for bringing a baby with a squadron of cavalry into the desert, bringing the amount of Gaebolg time lost to 5.9 chapters and making Altenna a PITA to recruit. -1 (Bias) FOR BRINGING A GODDAMN BABY INTO THE DESERT I do not like Ethlin storyline wise. 5.5/10, or if the second last point should be counted as part of my bias, 6.5/10

Colm is competing for a promotion item with Pirate!Ross but not Fighter!Ross. He is your first thief, and so is responsible for a good deal of treasure, and is almost capable of having good combat skills. Insert obligatory "FE8 enemies are jokes" mention here. 7.5/10 witide

I approve of this idea. Also, it's very well written. My suggestion would be to skip Part 2. Nothing interesting happens in part 2.

Best: You don't have the Light Orb vs. Hardin Worst: Enemy reinforcement on the EP.

Out of those ideas, the only one that interests me is the recruitment stuff. Make more characters only join if you've done certain actions or Olwen/Eyrios pairs.

The sky.

I learnt a valuable lesson, that Saleh > Kyle. FE8 As-is draft, done in 192 turns.
