Grats on finishing

RE: Supports argument from earlier
I mean this is FE7, you have tons of end turn time in defence maps or various turn floors thanks to dumb recruitments. I think it is pretty reasonable to assume a bunch of C and B supports for chars in play as long as those characters have reason to be near each other and have high base/grow fast. It's like staff rank, it's not very hard to raise if you put your mind to it, even at efficiency pace.

Congratulations and thanks are in order, so GZ and TY for your continued efforts to complete this.

Furthermore, I don't think that all Jeigans are considered top tier here, either. I believe that FE12!Arran, who has more and earlier competition than Marcus, is seen as rather unremarkable, for example.
I wouldn't say he's seen as unremarkable, since he's pretty important in the first few chapters due to lack of promoted units, so he's still really clutch. And even past that, being promoted means he's one of the better units you can deploy until like, 10x TBH, which is like half the game. So he's still totally better than most of the rest of the cast, and a unit you'd see in basically any playthrough for a significant period of time.
Being promoted is really good.

Fox, I think you're being excessively uncharitable here. Like, you're being so uncharitable it borders on intentional misrepresentation of Mekkah's core points. Pitfalls is a series about misconceptions people have regarding things in FE. It's not a pitfall to train a full team, and that's not what he said or implied, merely that it's a pitfall to think that you SHOULD do that. It's not a pitfall to play on casual mode, it's a pitfall to think that classic mode with resets and casual mode are basically the same thing, etc.
I think that you may have subconciously mistaken the silly dumbdumb151 joke at the start to be indicative of an elitist casual bashing mentality, and then that coloured your perception of the video as a whole to the point that this mentality permeates everything. But it's really more at the expense of dondon himself rather than an anti casual thing.

I can't really be arsed to read the whole topic (bite me) but I'm just gonna chip in and say that even the most busted units in this game have meaningful weaknesses, which is a better metric to consider game "balance" by rather than comparing the cast members relatively, because all units can be boiled down to being tools in a toolbox you have, and the combined functionality of your options against what the game is trying to confront you with is ultimately what the game is about, and thus where the real strategy lies.

Fighter!MU without unlocked Class Sets is awful because you can't go Dracoknight.

Take advantage of the system and go beyond portraits exchanging dialogue to enable a character who is mute to communicate through body language.
But if they won't do that I'd settle for any kind of disability (eyepatches that are there for cool-factor don't count).

C14 - 5/110 Turns
Took an extra turn for the Swordslayer (pretty useful in C16 and 20), Tiki's Divinestone (Money) and EXP.
Promoted Cord since I needed an extra unit to help kill stuff on Turn 2 and I need him promoted next map anyway. Gave Palla a Speedwing so she could double thieves with the Scorpio shard (and because she'll never get to 25 AS otherwise, which matters in 20x and Final)
If Barst isn't able to finish off an Ice Dragon on Turn 3 for whatever reason the contingency strat is for him to just stay out of range of both Dragons on Turn 3, then ORKO one on Turn 4, then get Physic'd to ORKO the other on Turn 5.
Average Paladin!Cain at this level with the Devil Sword and an Energy Drop + Str Shards still does the OHKO, but I could have circumvented it entirely if I just deployed Swordmaster!Cain instead so he could double them. That would result in a bunch of "wasted" Sword WEXP though since I do want him to hit B Swords as a Paladin eventually so he can use the Brave Sword lategame.

C13x - 2/105 Turns
Palla didn't get deployed because Ryan's cool enough to be able to tank Kleine and the Bandit. If Marth doesn't dodge T1 then MU Physics him. Marth hit B Swords, Barst hit A Axes. I am happy.

How is it going to occur otherwise? I remember you saying that you would not be willing to vote no if another independence referendum does come up after Brexit - do you still think this way and if so is it because the most likely way of us rejoining the EU is us also leaving the UK?
Brexit can be stopped (final deal being voted on in some manner or other) or negociations can occur in ways that enable caveats for Scotland. For example, the border in Ireland cannot go back to a hard border, and nobody wants to see that. I believe things like this can be worked on.
As for another indyref, at the time I was pretty frustrated and hadn't really considered the alternatives. If there was one today, I'd vote no. If the brexit deal is a total disaster and no further options were on the table I'd probably abstain or consider yes in an indyref.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:Your implication seems to suggest that it's what you said earlier, that the focus of Scottish nationalism is hatred of Westminister, the Tories and the English. As I've said, I'm open to the idea of federalisation if it did occur but if you are saying that's not extreme enough for some/a majority of nationalists, then are you sure that they haven't given you any arguments against federalisation if they reject the idea or for independence over it that isn't that they just dislike the English?
I have never heard an argument for this that didn't ultimately boil down to emotional appeals to Scotland being distinct enough from the r.UK to warrant it's own status as an independant state or mistrust of how the federal government would function.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:Ruth Davidson did well to revitalise the Scottish Tories from being pretty much dead in the water previously but I still wonder if this will continue. You said it's because of Brexit that a portion of the SNP base flipped to Tory and maybe you're right, but what are they going to do after "Brexit" has been done and dusted? Go back to the SNP, stay with the Tories, or back to Labour? It's hard to say. I'd still say there is a political differences between Scotland and the rest of the UK, even if I can agree with you that there has been "hidden" Tory support in Scotland, there does still seem to be a leaning towards the left IMO. I think this may be a temporary benefit for the Tories due to the circumstances.
Depends a lot on how much credability the SNP manage to assert during this Parliament, whether Indyref2 looks feasible anytime soon and whether they continue to dissapoint in Holyrood.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:I think it's pretty great that May has to grovel to the DUP considering they have suspicious links to terrorism after calling out Corbyn for his associations. The worse part is that the DUP are pretty much Irish Republicans. Climate change deniers, creationists, homophobic, oppose abortion, corrupt. While if they try to push these policies on the rest of the UK through a coalition with the Tories, the Tory base will reject them, them being anywhere close to mainstream power is worrying.

Alright, but I'm still skeptical about why the % really matters - minorities are going to be scapegoated by some always, regardless of how many are in their country. Wouldn't it be like that in other European countries, for example?
The % matters in terms of it becoming an issue because people do not think about these things for no reason. The opposition to immigration in parts of England is not directly connected to the % of ethnic minorities, but I believe it is significantly influenced by it, as a narrative about how immigrants are the problem can only carry weight where there are enough immigrants for people to actually believe it. We are all prejudiced, but our environment influences how that prejudice manifests.
Furthermore, the current dynamic of nationalism in Scotland is different because the focus can be put onto Westminister, the Tories, and more broadly the English as the "problem". Whilst more immigration may change the tone of the argument, I'm also considering a post-independant Scottish scenario where the more undesirable belly of nationalism may very well begin to start targeting other minorities with its ire.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:I actually think liberals can go against what their values ought to be when discussing things they feel as though they need to defend - authoritarian Islam customs being an example, which can be the definition of illiberal. And I say this as someone who considers themselves a progressive who does defend when people attack regular Muslims for no reason. While you could argue that these people calling themselves liberals are not following a core tenant, that would also likely be pointed out to be No True Scotsman, which is fitting.
Depends what you mean by "defend". As it is commonly stated, there is a difference between attacking Islam and attacking Muslims. But I acknowledge the line is difficult to pin exactly and many people can and do feel threatened on a personal level by such criticisms, and being careful about how you phrase yourself and where you do it is important.
I think one can say that if you're outright defending authoritarian customs being a good thing then that is just overcompensating for the whole heteronormativewhitemalepatriarchal view of society that western culture is rooted in.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:1. The possibility of rejoining the EU, as I am a Remainer. That said, I'm not really opposed to letting Brexit happen while we are in the UK.
This is not neccessarily exclusive to an independant Scotland.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:2. Would federalisation even get on a ballot? You said it yourself but people haven't exactly shown interest in it and while Corbyn said he would 'consider' it, that's a pretty tepid response. Independence has already been on it and people immediately know what it is about and have strong feelings on it. From what I understand, Westminister purposely left it off the ballot for the fear that it would take votes away from a "no" to independence vote in 2014 (and they didn't want to go ahead with federalisation), so it's unlikely that it would even be gone through with. It's already lucky enough that they let us vote on independence. I remember David Cameron promising that Scotland would get increased powers if we voted no to independence, and as far I know (correct me if I'm wrong), we got dick all.
To the last point, they did get increased powers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland_Act_2016
To the previous points, that is not an argument for independance so much as a recognition that federalism has failed to catch on as an idea. I challenge you to think about why that is and why nationalism caught on. FYI I am pro federal UK too.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:3. I don't believe federalisation is practical because if they did actually get on the ballot it would likely need people of all parts of the UK to vote on it, and while I'm sure Wales and NI would be happy to, I'm not sure it would be viewed favorably in England, or if they even care about it - but one of the arguments for Brexcit was that the "EU is becoming too federal", ridiculous as that is, and would likely ascribe the same argument.
I disagree. The West Lothian Question ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lothian_question ) has a lot of popular sympathy in England, and in the conservative aprty. It is merely the framing of it that is important.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:4. As much as we were talking political demographics, if the Tory train continues in England, it's unlikely for Scotland to have much say in getting Labour a majority unless the SNP just totally collapses (which is a possibility, but I don't exactly forsee it). I hope the political climate changes soon in accordance with this snap election in the UK because being under a Tory majority government for so long with no real viable opposition just fucks all of us. I would prefer we were out of the country with the huge austerity cuts.
I mean the fact we got a bunch of Tories in north of the border has basically saved May. Labour knocked out a lot of Tories in England, but we provided the extra seats they needed to be able to reach a majority with the DUP. You cannot really argue that Scotland doesn't have "much of a say" here since if the SNP had hung onto a mere 6 or so seats then there would be a truly hung parliament unless the Liberals decided to help the Tories, which is definitely not happening in the current political climate.
4 hours ago, Tryhard said:I can see your point, but it's also not the popular idea, and I'm thinking practically. That and perhaps the people of Scotland do have a interest in our defence and foreign relations ourselves instead of being part of selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, for example.
Yes, but we would have a say in that, just not an exclusive say in it. Again, sure, it's not popular, but think about why Federalism is not popular and Nationalism is.

Sure, and I agree it had an effect but I'm not sure it was the only factor. It's interesting that you would be convinced by this because I seem to recall you saying that fall of the union was inevitable and since the Brexit result the SNP could run wild. I was skeptical, especially at the long term prospects of a party like the SNP holding their seats.
I still think its inevitable. I didn't say they could run wild, merely that they would be able to use the Brexit result as a mandate for attempting another indyref, which they did, but I did not forsee Westminister blocking it.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:I'm willing to accept that they probably aren't as progressive as they claim, but I doubt they one and the same with the Conservative party. Isn't that business excuse fall under centrism (neoliberal, which I'm not a fan of either, but centrist nonetheless), though? I've not heard of this nurse incident but if it is as you describe then yes, that is shit, much like the English hardcore Conservatives that rail against Scottish people for being "addicted to welfare".
I put links in my post shortly after if you didn't catch them. As for neoliberalism, yes, but that's the basic position of the UK conservative party too, and UKIP for that matter. They are not in favor of progressive taxation. I'm not saying they're the same as the Tory party, I'm just trying to point out examples of how they're not really a left leaning party in terms of actual policy or management of public services (pay freeze, etc). They like to blame everything on Westminister or not having enough power yet don't actively use the powers they get given in order to make the changes they claim to support.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:I suppose "most" could be seen as a majority of 51+%, but do you think that they follow the same conventions as the rest of the UK - i.e the elderly tend to vote Conservative, rural areas tend to vote Conservative, etc. I always thought that Scotland generally hating the Conservatives after Thatcher wasn't just a coincidence. Scotland feeling betrayed and disillusioned with Scottish Labour was one of the things that pushed the SNP after all.
It depends on how well off the elderly person is, but yes to the first. They used to be strong in rural areas in Scotland but the Liberals ended up mostly scooping up their votes when the Conservative brand became toxic, and the Liberals got those votes instead of Labour because these areas don't have the kind of demographics where class warfare esque mantra carries much weight.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:Do you mean that they will splinter the party into a center-right alternative? In that case, I honestly wouldn't have a problem with that. If you believe Scotland to have the same political demographics as the rest of the UK, it is a viable option and will be opposition to stop what would assumedly be a left party from growing as arrogant and complacent as Teresa May is right now.
I'm not saying this is an argument for it not being a viable option, it's merely just building off the point about how the false narrative of Scotland as a far more left leaning party of the country was perpetuated.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:Have you any polls or studies of SNP members that suggest they overly dislike outsiders compared to the rest of the UK population, or is this from personal experience?
Well I have plenty of personal experience dealing with SNP supporters from political activism and canvassing I take part in, especially during these past two elections. But the part you quoted is really supposed to be connected to the next line, which is the main crux of the argument; that if it was about accountability, Federalism should have been the popular idea, not independance. Why would we need to be independant of the UK if we could all manage everything within our nations except for things like defence and foreign relations? The point is it's about Scottish or British identity.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:To be honest, as soon as Westminister stop actually being shit as they have been, I wouldn't criticise them any more, and I don't think they're that far off the mark. Now if you're suggesting that they would still rail against Westminister if it did actually get its shit together because they care about independence above all else (which makes sense), then yeah, I'd say you're right. But they have understandable grievances.
I'm not insinuating that no criticism should be leveraged at Westminsister. Again some of this is out of context due to the separation of the lines. The argument is that if Scottish nationalism was truly civic, there would be no need for the nationalism, because Liberal Federalism already enables the civic portions of it. What caught on was Independance and what the SNP have historically succeeded in is tribalistic opposition to Westminister and the English state.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:Sure, England has 85% white population compared to Scottish 96% (I believe it's closer to 96%). I'm not sure how strict our immigration policies are but are you completely assured that if Scotland received 11% more people of non-white ethnicity that a decent amount of our population would immediately convert to hating them?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demography_of_England#Ethnicity
Its like 80%, so more than that. And it would not be "immediate", and it's not as if England hates foreigners either. I'm simply saying that it is common for bad things to be blamed on outsiders unreasonably so, but in a scenario where they make up a tiny % of the population it is not going to be as prevelant as where they make up nearly a quarter. Thus I believe that if we had a higher immigration rate, we would see similar unease and tension about the subject of immigration as England sees.
1 hour ago, Tryhard said:I'd say the same for any political idealogy or system will always have an ugly underside. I'm aware of the dangers of nationalism. For the record, I didn't vote SNP, and I don't even like Nicola Sturgeon, but I have trouble believing it's a wash between her and her parties policies and Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. You're a unionist and so of course you wouldn't like them, but my question is this: if I support an independent Scotland, is there (or could there be) anyone for me to support that would not be seen as fallible nationalists in your eyes?
First point; most of them do, but I believe that liberalism does not, beyond the problems to do with the historic facets of a patriarchal, white male european centric view of everything, but these are not inherant to liberalism so much as to the places it is prominent in, and liberals have acknowledged this and attempt to compensate.
And I think you're misrepresenting me because whilst there are certainly more blatant fascist tendancies present in UKIP or Trump my point is that the concept of nationalism that powers them all is rooted in the same thing.
As for the last question, you'd have to explain why you think an independant Scotland is neccessary as opposed to a Federal UK before I could actually answer that. FWIW I don't believe the Green Party is nationalist, but I also believe them to primarily be opportunistic in their modern day leveraging of social issues to try to get more attention so they can attempt to use that to focus on things they're ultimately more concerned about (that goes for most Green Parties worldwide for that matter). But since they're concerned about the climate primarily that's not really quite as bad. Similarly their support of independance seems more about the their perception of practical realities of managing particular problems rather than tribalism, but I suppose it depends on which Green Party supporter you talk to, as some are more marxist than others.

Not really sure if that's the case. The polls I've seen places SNP support for Leave at about 36%. If you can call that a "significant portion", sure, but it's not any worse than any other party (and is pretty much the same as how Scotland voted on Brexit in general)
Yes, but the SNP had and currently have the largest voteshare in the country, and are also the incumbent party, so 30% of theirs is worth more than everyone else's put together. And because of how FPTP works, it's more than enough to swing things over.
44 minutes ago, Tryhard said:The SNP weren't exactly popular when they weren't left-wing, either, but it's not like there aren't left-wingers can't be in support of Brexit either so I'm not sure it's really worth pointing out. And I would think most Scots would consider themselves left-wing but with those Conservatives gains I'm not necessarily sure.
First point; whilst that is true, the point is more to do with the fact that there are plenty of SNP voters who have sympathies with conservative principles, both socially and economically, but dislike the English centric nature of the UK conservative party, espceially in the post Thatcher era. I mean really, even when you look at how the SNP has governed, they have not nearly been as progressive as they like to claim they are. Scotland was given new tax powers and they rolled out Tory tier excuses as to why they couldn't be raised (it would drive business away), and when their leader gets put on the defensive by a Nurse on TV, their candidates and supporters look to smear her as not being of the "deserving" poor (on National fucking TV mind), which is again typical right wing mantra.
The writing is on the wall dude.
Second point, uh, really, no. Unless by most you accept over 51%, but the reality is in terms of attitudes we're not really that different from the rest of the UK. I've said this to many people before, maybe they'll believe me now, but the SNP is a coalition party in itself of people across the spectrum who want an independant Scotland, and will do whatever they can to achieve it. If part of that involves having to parade around as being a left leaning party to scoop up disgrunted Liberal and Labour voters, so be it. The SNP as a party will not remain glued together in an independant scotland, and you would certainly see the formation of a new centre right party in Scotland following it.
44 minutes ago, Tryhard said:To be honest, there's a huge difference between UKIP and Trump Nationalism and the brand of SNP Nationalism.
They're superficially different, but they come from the same root belief of inherant superiority and dislike of outsiders. Scottish independance is rooted in division, not in desire for accountability. If it was about power, Liberals have supported a federalised vision of the UK for a very long time, and yet this idea never gained traction because it's not racical enough for nationalists who see Westminister as some foreign evil. One may say "but Scotland doesn't hate immigrants", but I would counter that by saying our rate of immigration is dramatically lower and we're nearly 97% white compared to England which has far more ethnic minorities. If we had a more significant immigrant population you'd see the same kind of "unease" in our political discourse.
The facade of "civic" nationalism that the SNP present has always been a lie and a trap. Nationalism is not a political force that can be wielded purely for good, there is always an ugly underside.
-
TBFH, the Scottish swing to Tory has more to do with the fact that a significant portion of the SNP's voterbase supports Brexit, which is hardly surprising when you realise that "Civic Nationalism" is at best only part of what defines Scottish Nationalism, and that Nationalism always harbors these "less than desirable" aspects. Not really that different from UKIP in many ways tbfh. The SNP as a political movement has never really been left wing till recent history, there's a reason they used to be called the Tartan Tories.
The mantra of "get a Tory government you didn't vote for" is really dead in the water now though, but FSR nobody seemed to remember until now that prior to the Poll Tax, Scotland had plenty of Tory voters and they were even important in helping Thatcher in her early terms.

I prefer growth bracketing.

I think you need to define if we need to get the good ending or not, as both FE6 and FE3B2/12 require you to recruit particular characters in order to properly finish the game.
They are as follows
FE6: Zeiss (needed for 21x), Zealot and Juno (20Ix), Sue Shin and Dayan (20Sx), Douglas (16x)
FE3B2/12: Minerva (comes with a Shard, is recruited from a village, cannot be killed for it).

C13 - 6/103 Turns
Deployed Julian for the Spirit Dust since if you're not using Rescue it doesn't cost any turns. Gave Barst an Energy Drop so he could oneshot Dark Mages with the Devil Axe and some Str Shards.
Turn 1 looks bad but it used to be a lot worse...the positioning of the Tomahawk Barb that attacks Palla used to be relevant since I was trying to minmax Barst's WEXP gain. I kinda gave up on trying to squeeze as much as I could out of it and settled for a bit less. Some weird optimisations were made like how Palla can just about survive without Tauros, which prevents her from 4HKOing Ice Dragons with a HandAxe, making errant crits less annoying.
Originally MU was doing the SM thing on the left instead of Etzel since he can improve reliability by not requiring Palla to connect a HandAxe to finish the Wyvern, but I figured I'd rather let MU have the EXP.

C12 - 7/97 Turns
Pretty standard 7 turn rescueless clear, got a good amount of EXP distributed though.
Promoted Cecille to Falcoknight, Arms Scrolled Barst as a Berserker for 60 Axe WEXP (at start of map was A as a Berserker/Warrior, B and 30 as Draco/Hero). Gave Palla a Dracoshield.
Spent a long time deliberating on this one because I wasn't sure if I was going to actually end up needing to train Belf. I'm about 99% sure I'm not but I didn't really dump all the statboosters I have yet just in case I realised I did want to.

I'm pretty surprised you changed your mind that drastically after a replay but good to hear I guess? Many more people just continue to hold the same biases you did against FE6 basically because its not FE7.

C11 - 6/90 Turns
Drilled Cain as a Merc for HP STR SPD DEF and promoted.
Forged a +4 Mt +5 Hit Dragonpike.
Pretty happy with this, besides the dead air at the start whilst I calculate if I need to swap Leo off Palla or not (since I didn't want to ORKO that Bandit, so Barst would get some WEXP from him on EP). I got everything bar the Steel Bow from a Hunter and killed nearly every Wyvern. I Wouldn't have been able to get all the items and visit the SS and recruit Jake in a 5 turn with my team, and that extra rescue use would have only saved a turn anyway since I don't think I could have done the 4 turn, so whatever.
Furthermore, Ryan got to internal C Swords and 22 speed as a Horseman (doubles Fire and Ice Dragons), Marth got to 22 speed, MU and Etzel got to C Staves as Bishops and Barst got to B Axes as Berserker/Warrior. We'll see how statbooster distribution pans out.

I don't really follow Cipher too closely, but have any NPC units (not playable, not enemy) gotten cards before? Given August's importance in FE5 it'd be nice to see him get some new art, but if they've not done stuff like that before then I probably shouldn't get my hopes up.

7 hours ago, ping said:
Giving her both sword and bow access before promotion would've worked fine, though. Let her start with a sword as she does now, but give her a bow when Will joins and maybe a pony when she promotes. I agree that a pure bow lord without any support abilities (leadership stars or something like that) would be pretty bad.
Holmes is a pure Bow Lord in TRS till promotion (gets swords) and is a pretty decent unit because he ORKOs basically everything. It just depends how much of the game demands EP combat and what the average enemy quality is like.

Lilina is not a reliable boss killer lol.
Anima makes her acceptably accurate against mooks but against the bosses in this game with the insane throne bonuses, she consistently has sub 50 hit rates because her skill is terrible.
Did you enjoy Awakening?

it took like 4 or 5 restarts to figure out a proper amount of exp distribution early on in lunatic in order to facilitate full deployment for the whole game (also didn't second seal any gen 1 characters), but eventually, yeah.
kind of a problem where in order to get an experience remotely resembling a normal FE game you basically have to craft it yourself though.
