Cool, but can there be a blank option? I just like the look of Name --> Member Title --> Picture --> Favorite FE.

Hahaha. You may have noticed that Trump is presiding over the greatest economic downturn since the founding of the country and the biggest loss of employment, by a country mile. And hasn't had any other economic policy other than benefiting himself and his super rich friends, at the cost of everyone else, including you.
So even by your brokebrained standards, Trump is shit. (And Obama rules)
Yes. And the fact that he is in power is the only relevant detail to material condition. America's great democratic republic did its work and put him where he is, and frankly you're a goddamn fool if you think him or people like him wouldn't have crept in all the same into a direct democracy. America is burning because of liberalism (specifically liberalism's vulnerability to fascist populism) and you can only think to add more liberalism. Maybe it's time you consider comparatively illiberal systems which accept authoritarianism on its face and searches instead to create better authoritarians.
Oh and Obama was better for material condition but probably not as much as you think. What I suspect is the more relevant detail to libs is that Trump is "less civil" than Obama. I wonder how much you'd really care about Trump is he put up the same polite southern disposition of Bush.
QuoteThough in this particular case they kinda didn't. The people rejected Trump in 2016 but because the electoral is ''quirky'' Trump still got to win the election. The people(or at least enough of them) saw through Trump but still got subjected to four years of him in charge. In this case America got the government they didn't deserve.
I don't know how I can say this any less ambigiously; direct democracy would've saved you against Trump in this particular timeline but it wouldn't have saved you from most of the policies you're in hysterics about. The dictatorship of capital always has its way. You've heard of manufactured consent, right?
QuoteIts that America is drunk on a warped idea of freedom that celebrates selfishness and stupidity as virtues.
Chicken and egg (I say this knowing full well I'll get the same thing hurled at me at some point), the American conceptualization of freedom was weaponized to suit the interests of rootless oligarchs, first and foremost. No other country in the global north has such an easily malleable ethos, plus a pseudo-religion with a convenient creation myth and pantheon to boot.

The danger with Donald Trump is the end of democracy.
Why do you attach an inherent moral goodness to democracy? Because it "represents the people", as if the people aren't going to be represented in their decision to give the fascist demagogue another 4 years, another lifetime? Material conditions are the only thing that matters, everything else is K-12 manufactured western idealism.
Smh libs unironically thinking this was a defense of Trump omegalul

ok I'd feel bad if I made that joke and immediately dipped, good luck on the figurines though they are 14 years old and pretty flimsy at that.

1.) All hits that land do a minimum of 3 damage, unless the defender has the untouchable skill, in which case "No Damage!" becomes possible. Untouchable is a class skill of heavy infantry (Knights, Generals, Barons, etc.) plus the main character.
2.) Infantry units may elect to sprint, gaining +2 movement at the cost of being afflicted with 2 turns of the "fatigued" condition after movement or combat. (The condition counter globally increments down at the beginning of enemy phase, so the condition actually lasts for the subsequent enemy and player phase).
Fatigued halves the unit's STR, DEF, MAG, RES, SPD & SKL.
Units may sprint while fatigued, but they reset the 2 Turn fatigue by doing so. This way infantry can indefinitely match their mounted peers MOV but will also be indefinitely crippled in combat.
If capturing/rescuing exists the unit can't spring while having a held unit.
3.) Many varieties of HP, each with separate growth rates, boosters, etc, some being enemy only. This is their priority, from lowest to highest. A unit dies when their lowest priority health is > 0.
Green Health is vitality, reduced by DEF/RES depending on whether the damage is physical, magical or hybrid (the average of the two stats).
The boring vanilla Fire Emblem HP that the vast majority of units have.
Yellow Health is fortune, ignoring damage type and instead uses LCK as the damage-reducing stat.
Gray Health is overheal, available aplenty but treated as if having 0 DEF/RES.
If [overheal < Attacker's ATK], defender's overheal = 0 & defender's next health bar is subtracted by [ATK - [DEF/RES/LCK + overheal].
Dark Red, Dark Blue and Purple Health are "barriers".
If [barrier < Attacker's ATK], defender's barrier = 0 & defender is inflicted with the "enfeebled" condition. Excess damage is NOT dealt to lower priority.
Enfeebled negates all defender's skills & authority
Magical damage skips Dark Red for the next health bar, Physical skips Dark Blue for the next health bar, and Purple cannot be bypassed.
Orange Health, like Green Health, is reduced depending on damage type, but it sets itself to 0 if defender is hit by a crit
Might be fun for a gimmicky paralogue: put a bunch of enemies with only Dark Gray Health and plenty of it.

Really wish in-depth game manuals didn't fall out of vogue, I have no idea how a T776 remake would even start to teach its mechanics to a modern audience.
Do we have hard dates for the three releases of Thracia 776?
in NES and SNES Era

Found this on Fire Emblem WoD. Still not the most authoritative source, admittedly.
Apparently the deluxe edition was available on the date of the letter, 3 days before the Nintendo Power release. No information on where the DX edition was sold as of right now.
