Fellas, i haven't played Blue Lions, does the fact that Faerghus committed genocide get properly addressed, like, at all?

This is a Breakfast Club reference. Can't believe I couldn't find that scene though.
Also @blah the Prussian please be mindful of spoilers, you seem to be going into that territory, I haven't even reached the timeskip yet.
neither have I, made the meme after viewing her second c support with Byleth

Also, while we're on the topic of comparisons here's some OC linking her to another character who did absolutely nothing wrong

The objectively correct comparison is with Reinhard von Lohengramm, with Hubert as the lovechild of Kircheis and Oberstein

Is there any specific amount of a stat that needs to be attained to fit that unit's requirements? Looking to recruit Ingrid by rushing flying, but my dex is only 12. Also, what is the required level of a skill?

The game tells you the requirements for each student: 1 stat and 1 skill.
The exact level of skill and stat you need aren’t clear, and may or may not be affected by support level.
this seems to let you recruit them for “free.”
Additionally, you can recruit any student automatically if you have B-rank support with them, but it seems you can only do this once per month.
Finally, knights seem to be purely based on your level, but capped at one per month.
And this is one stat and one skill on Byleth, or on any of your class?
-
So, I want to be clear on this: what exactly do you do in order to recruit anyone? Where is it that you put in, for example, charisma and lance in order to attract ther students?

Quite like his content, though as a writer I feel it's more good for entertainment value rather than real lessons. I do love his video on dark lords, though that's probably because I have a major soft spot for that villain type.

The worldbuilding is on the level of some fantasy novels I've read, and I like that, at least so far, the game isn't essentially handwaving the stratified society; classism is a genuine problem in this world, and it has an impact on the characters beyond the superficial.
Plus, imperial German aesthetics anywhere are a good way to win me over, and the Black Eagles are no exception.

I'll agree to disagree here, the wehrmacht had a huge emphasis due to the upcoming clash between the communists and fascists (people were aware it was going to happen since the 20s), but there were a lot of other programs that were focused on. National socialism didn't live out it's natural life due to being defeated and dismantled, so we can only speculate about it's fate had it, or at least it's financial system, ran it's full course. Nazi Germany used a labor back currency to both avoid loans from central banks, and avoid attracting the attention of it's neighbors, this has not been tried again, so it remains speculation at best.
Also what Russian fascists? The communists had taken the nation over by the mid-20s and it was single-party. The side that opposed the communists during the Revolution remained loyal to the tsar, so if anything were monarchists (though I would say the majority of them were just anti-communist, rather then tsarist), or do you mean fascist groups in modern Russia?
Yes I do. I'm talking about the Nazbols, who are a meme ideology everywhere but Russia.
We can only speculate, but most serious historians who have speculated have come to the conclusion that the regime would have collapsed from unsustainable economics.

the most you can say about fascism is that economic policies are largely irrelevant
the biggest care of a fascist state economically is making sure that factories are producing weapons for war and the facade of taking care of 'their own' (the Aryans) as opposed to the subhumans, even if this is just a lie and the 'pure blooded' are treated poor as well (because a fascist always wants to exploit others to do the dirty work).
economics is not necessarily a strong principle that is held by fascism - if it serves best to be a corporatist, then that is what will happen. if it serves best to have state-controlled businesses, that will be what happens. the bigger emphasis is outward aggressive policy and inward scapegoats and ultranationalism.
This is an important point that is often overlooked; the Nazis, for instance, pursued an utterly contradictory policy whose only rationale was building the wehrmacht, and in Russia many Fascists actually adopt the aesthetics and, presumably, economics of the USSR; if under Communism the nation was strongest, Communists we shall be.

3: The US is structured as a republican form of government. I use the term republican in it's intended use, not in reference to the political party. This is in stark contrast to forms of government such as monarchy or autocracy (which frequently overlap). So what is it about this that makes it crucial to understanding US politics? It's crucial because it effects the behavior of politicians. Unlike a monarch who is not elected, in for life, quite literally owns the nation, and usually has supreme authority, elected representatives must get themselves elected, have limited time in power, have no real stake in the nation, and do not hold supreme authority. Because of this they will cater to lobbyists to get elected, not dedicate themselves to their cause because there is not enough time to accomplish anything due to bureaucracy, and not care about the repercussions of their actions because they can always blame another party, or move out. I am not advocating for monarchy (there is plenty to say *against* it), I only used it as an example to point out the flaws in the republican/democratic system, and why politicians will always ignore who they claim to represent and will always sell their people and nation out. Just look at the amount of duel-citizens within congress.
Yes, join us my child

He is absolutely right about the nature of the place from which they came- the country where they were born is broken and crime-infested.

I'm going Black Eagles as well and I have to say, the very heavy Holy Roman Empire inspiration I'm getting from them is part of the decision, the Adrestian Empire feels full of history and lore from what we know.
Though all of Fodlàn is interesting from a history nerd point of view, which leads me to wonder what the inspiration behind Faerghus is, some of it is obviously Russia (what with Dimitri's name and the cold north aspect), but Russia is not exactly know for its knights.
Leicester on the other hand gives me strong British vibes, what with the king + the alliance/parliament of nobles. That and the real life english name lolTo be fair, knights weren't foreign to Russia and they did have their brand of heavy armored horseman.
Funnily although the aesthetics of Leicester are clearly England from what I've heard their government system is most similar to Poland-Lithuania.

Black Eagles gang rise up
I mean, they're obviously based off the country in my username, what do you expect

It's funny, I leave the FE fandom and this site and then Three Houses looks incredible. So here I am again.
Honestly, though, this is the most excited I've been for a game since Odyssey.

Damn, that was nice. Always a sucker for stuff about the Sanaki-Sephiran relationship; I feel like that's a really unexplored part of the Tellius story.
-
The Mongols also were hugely important for relations between the Christian and Islamic worlds, and should be studied for that alone. I mean, they ended the last objectively legitimate Caliphate.

In England there was this story that the Germans used corpses to create soap
Interesting thing, that; much of the Entente propaganda about Germany in WWI would in fact be done by the Nazis in WWII; for example, they did indeed make human soap. In fact when the Holocaust was first discovered many Brits were skeptical, dismissing it as just more wartime propaganda.

Jarrod did nothing wrongBut yeah, I do think he's the best. He's basically a good soldier and fighting a guerrilla war is a bitch. I mean, really, what are you gonna do when the populace wont move aside?

Whichever chapter of Conquest(I think it was 25) where you storm the Hoshidan royal palace. The writing is standard Fates fare, but every other aspect of the level does a great job at telling a story. The music is somber. At least on normal there are no enemy reinforcements; this is truly the last Hoshido has, their last stand. The Hoshidans will not attack you; they're focused only on defending their palace. It's the only chapter in the game that really made you feel like a conquerer, feel like the bad guy. The atmosphere in chapter 25 tells the story of the fall of a Kingdom, and it tells a story better than the atmosphere of any other point in the series.
