    Alois replaces Jeralt as captain of the knights. Plus Byleth in every non-CF ending. Flayn is still a Nabatean. I kinda feel like Catherine deserves something as the thunder Catherine, but her noble house works. Hanneman also ran away from a noble house.

    Fair enough point, actually.

    Like I said, I’m not familiar with civ v specifically. So maybe. I just would do something with the knight unit because the knights of Faerghus are all... “I will die for his majesty!”

    Regal Lions (Lancer)

    Lancer = Mounted Anti-cavalry unit: 25 Strength, 4 Move, requires Horses, +33% strength vs other Mounted units.

    Regal Lions have over the Generic Lancer unit: +4 Strength, Charge (+33% Strength vs Wounded units), spawns Generals faster, and upgrades to Landship (First Armor unit) instead of Anti-Tank Gun.

    Quote

    Yeah, it was removed. Still an Imperial house though.

    House Bartels of the Empire.

    And no, Jeritza was born after House Martritz went under, Baron Bartels was his dad (he and Mercedes only share a mom). He killed the Bartelses.

    Huh... I thought she was adopted into the Kingdom. Never mind, I remember, she ended up with her mother at a church in the Kingdom, didn't she?

    So I take it you’re not doing the church if Catherine is here?

    I would do something with the knight unit, either giving him a better one or a stable but more focused on them and strengthen them when they’re fighting in the capital. 

      Hide contents

    House Martritz is an imperial house though. If you didn’t already know.

    Eh, Maybe I'll think of some for the church. Rhea, Seteth... Maybe a Shamir's Dagda...

    So, a 'Royal Stable' then? If so, then Dimitri's Faerghus' uniques will be sounding a lot like vanilla Casimir's Poland.

     

    As I understood it, House Martritz was removed from the Empire/Destroyed... Wait a minute... Jeritza killed the Martritzes, right? Hmm... Do we ever get the name of the Baron who adopted Mercedes?

    This looks nice. I haven’t played Civ V (I just got into Civilization with vi and I mean just got into it, I started my first game three? days ago) but I like this concept.

    Once again Dorothea takes the L for being a commoner. I demand her representation as a great musician. Her great work shall be that opera about Edelgard (which lacks a title). /s

    That'd be quite funny. Another note for those eventual mods...

    Well, aside from a Fodlan map, I have some Civs theorized.

    I'm putting this here for 2 reasons: 1) I want to see if anyone has anything to add, and 2) it may motivate me to actually make them, in the future.

    Note to any moderators: I'm note quite sure if this should go in General or Fan Projects, given the following may eventually be Civ5 mods, and not a Fan Hack, Fic, etc.

    Best Final Boss (in terms of gameplay) (end game spoilers for all routes including DLC)

    in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    Posted

    Either SS or VW. The Lions are the (arguably) strongest house, and Felix can easily dodge-tank if you made him a Dancer/War Monk. CS is barely a route, in my opinion, and Aelfric/Umbral Beast isn't very bad. In fact, the Ubral Beast isn't hard: you can 2 turn the fight.

    Not even counting the hell hole of a map, SS's boss is a problem, because she can devastate most of your units in one turn. Easiest way to get past that is to have a ~70-80 Hp unit with Healing Focus and a Rusted weapon (to drop avoid so she'll target the HF unit) and just bait her staggering blows. Problem is that she'll go for kills if she sees them.

    And VW's map is an extension of its' boss. Nemesis isn't a problem without the Elites backing him up. Yeah, he's strong, but not strong enough to fight your entire army. Counting the map with Nemesis is the only way he's a threat.

    My vote's on SS, for what it's worth.

    Just stepping in to comment that that is the German term, the English is Marquess (Marchioness is the feminine, Marquis is the French).

    I'm pointing out because Elibe and the whole Lycian League being marquesses, which doesn't make sense IRL. But, the rules of noble ranking, and also military ranks, tend to be ignored in video games, it's whatever sounds cool and provides variety. Lycia is no surprise.

    1) Fair enough.

    2) Fodlan appears to use the German form: Margraves Edmund and Gautier, for example.

    in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

    Posted · Edited by L3xandr3

    For reference:

    Emperor/Empress > High King/Queen > King/Queen > Archduke/Archduchess > Prine(ss) > Duke/Duchess > Margrave* > Count(ess) > Viscount(ess) > Baron(ess) > Baronet > Knight/Dame > Gentleman  > Commoners

     

    The above ranking varies by country and time period, and sometimes a lower ranked noble will rise abouve his given power, obviously, but this is the typical ranking of Nobility.

    However, Margraves have certain privileges, like not having to pay taxes and having a larger than usual military force on hand. This is due to the fact (as linticular said) Margraves are tasked with keeping the border protected. So, more or less they just have a lower social-political standing than Dukes, but about the same capabilities.

    What are the best units to use in The Sacred Stones?

    I... don't think this is really true? Knoll can promote to Summoner right out the gate, while for Ewan, you need to put at least 18 levels into him to get there. It's doable, but it takes some serious babying. Ewan's stats will probably be better with that investment, sure, but that doesn't hugely matter with Summoners. Speaking of which - try using a Summoner! Thr phantoms they summon can be excellent for manipulating enemy AI (i.e. luring particular threats, attracting siege spells).

    Let me correct myself: Ewan makes a better combatant than the other dark mage, and about the same as a Summoner.

    And I have used Summoners. They are indeed quite useful.

    Idk about Vanessa. She seems to be doing alright on this chapter I'm on right now but looking at that base strength and growth is... Yikes. Unless I get really lucky (I never do) her damage output will never get better (and it's already not good for me)

    Vanessa's schtick is that she's available early on, has decent stats, and a good promotion.

    Quote

    Of course there would be a route split... Wouldn't be FE, would it now. 🤦‍♂️

    Sacred Stones, Fates, and Three Houses are the only FEs with a route split. Maybe SoV/Giaden, but that's pushing it.

    Quote

    So in short anyone is viable and I shouldn't headache myself about it too much, right? 

    Yeah. It's only difficult if you handicap yourself. Like no S rank weapons, for example.

    Quote

    I like to use the most characters as possible, so can I get by with a core team of twelve and perhaps another? How many deployment slots in the chapters towards the end? 

    10 - 13 units is what I'd recommend. But to each their own.

    Quote

    I'm using Artur but didn't plan on using Moulder (I got him but I didn't plan on promoting him when the time comes). Speaking of mages, is Lute good? I liked anima magic in the other GBA titles so does she perform as well as Hugh and Erk? 

    Lute starts out weaker, but ends up stronger. Slightly more Nino-ish? Not the best term, but still.

    Quote

    That's another thing, how does the "trainee" unit work? From what I'm reading, there is 3 in the game and they don't require a seal to promote? They can essentially get 50 levels in total as opposed to 40 like the rest? If that's the case, they should be the most op characters in the game. Only if their growths are good I guess, but I haven't checked that out. 

    Ross is OK because you can get him to tier 1 within 1 map, Amelia is just bad, and Ewan is better than the other available dark mage.

    Quote

    Also, Niemi and Colm. Are they good in combat? I know people don't hold early game GBA archers in very high regard and thieves are best kept lockpicking but I'd really like to try them out, since I like bows and have never used and assassin. 

    Niemi is a growth archer and Colm is the better of the two thieves you get. Niemi's problem is that she has pretty bad bases, and Colm's is that his promotions aren't great.

    Quote

    I'll add Ross regardless because Berserker = best class in all of FE. What about his father? Garcia? This guy is... very peculiar looking for a FE game lol. I like it.

    Garcia is Ross if he was a (Mini?) Jagen. Enough said.
