Line everything up (in notepad, or word or whatever) and paste it here, and use the code tag under "Other Styles, or the <> button. Copy and paste one of my boxes to show how to line everything up beforehand if need be. Chapter 13 - 10/10 Turns Recruited Guy, then had Marcus carry him around. Guy eventually got the red gem, and bought two hand axes, and a javelin. Lowen went alone up top, to activate 13x. Hector ran for the boss, and Wolf Beil'd him. Serra healed. Matthew stole vulneraries and tried to kill stuff.

Yuglyoshi Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I'll get Hawkeye. And I'll probably start up my file soon as well. Oh, the save file that Radiant Dragon provided doesn't work for me. It's an SPS file, and I can only open SGM save files. Edited May 23, 2011 by Yuglyoshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant Dragon Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Oswin took Merlinus to the bottom left corner (this is allowed, right?). Unfortunately no, since Merlinus isn't an undrafted unit, he's an NPC. Oh, the save file that Radiant Dragon provided doesn't work for me. It's an SPS file, and I can only open SGM save files. Huh. Has anyone else tried to use it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we aren't allowed to rescue Pent in the desert to maximize exp either? If that's the case, I'll restart. I don't agree with the rule, however. EDIT: There's also almost no way for Yuglyoshi to keep undrafted units out of combat in that chapter as well, with only Marcus, Hector and Serra. It just won't work. I had some issues with those units + Matt and Lowen (due to getting the village, but w/e). Oh yeah, picks. Louise and Nino.

Radiant Dragon Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 ... So we aren't allowed to rescue Pent in the desert to maximize exp either? I had forgotten about Pent. I'm not sure whether or not to let everyone use a flier to rescue Pent, since there are only 3 fliers at that point. EDIT: There's also almost no way for Yuglyoshi to keep undrafted units out of combat in that chapter as well, with only Marcus, Hector and Serra. It just won't work. I had some issues with those units + Matt and Lowen (due to getting the village, but w/e). Everyone gets Matthew as well, and drafted units can rescue NPCs. I don't see the need to make an exception for that chapter since it hadn't proven necessary in any other draft thus far, especially since Matthew and Serra are also free for all here.

Yuglyoshi Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'll go with Jaffar, I guess. Radiant Dragon, what version of VBA did you use? I'm not sure if I have the latest version. That might be the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant Dragon Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I have 1.8.0-beta 3. It's probably me with the outdated version, since I downloaded it over 4 years ago. If you can't get it to work, go here and download Relle's save. You'll have to finish Light first, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thief's Assassin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Also, lmao @ taking Dart. Who in fuck's name does that for ranked? He kills Funds and Combat like no other. My noobnish is showing how? Also can undrafted visit houses? Edited May 23, 2011 by The Thief's Assassin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant Dragon Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 My noobnish is showing how? Also can undrafted visit houses? The Ocean Seal is worth 5 times as much as the other promotion items, making it expensive to promote Dart. No, undrafted units may not visit villages. They may visit shops/armories, however.

noheartx Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 what happens if an enemy breaks thru your lines in a chap prior to 14 and attacks one of your nondrafted units. not using them as a meatshield, they just get attacked? Also Chapter 12: 11 turns (and here comes my incompetence) I had Hector, Oswin and Matthew take out most of the enemies, while Marcus took care of the like...4 enemies down South. Serra had to heal Matthew a few times, who was a huge help. He got a lot of kills on units that were weakened by Oswin's powerful attacks. I killed Zagan with Hector.

The Thief's Assassin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 So some of the chapters in HM don't count towards stars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure this doesn't happen. It isn't difficult as long as you move the undrafted units away from the action. So some of the chapters in HM don't count towards stars? The Hector Mode exclusive chapters do not count, due to a programming error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thief's Assassin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 good to know, so i just realized in the fortune-tactician window it gives you stars, its 12 point per star so we could estimate as we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuglyoshi Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Chapter 11 Used Dondon's HHM strat with an adjustment so that Matthew could get the Red Gem. 7 turns. ---------- Chapter 12 Hector did most of the work up north with backup from Matthew, and they teamed up to 3RKO the boss. Marcus got the secret book and took out the southern foes. Serra got 2 heals in. 5 turns. --------- Chapter 13 Hector took the scenic northern route, opening the path to merlinus' village but not actually entering it. Marcus, Serra, and Matthew went south to take out the enemies and recruit Guy. Hector met up with them at the castle and killed the bos while Hector went north to the village. Didn't sell the Red Gem, and therefore haven't bought anything yet. 9 turns. Stats so far: Marcus lvl 1.76 Serra lvl 1.77 Hector lvl 8.04 Matthew lvl 4.28 just realized that I was playing with the screen size doubled..

noheartx Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) wait...so in hector only chapters i can level grind without losing low turn count? And heres Chapter 13: 15 Turns I sent Hector Oswin and Marcus to deal with the Peg Knights, while Matthew soloed the bandit and two archers down south. Hector and Marcus broke the tree, and then after the Peg Knights were dead, Oswin and Hector went down to assist Matthew. Marcus visited the village that gets you 13x, and Hector Matthew and Oswin defeated all the enemies. Guy attacked Matthew, who survived and then recruited him. Marcus ferried Hector to the boss, who died in two turns to Marcus and his Iron Axe. Hector seized for end of chap.

The Thief's Assassin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) level grinding? and is it necessary to recruit undrafted characters for the sake of the survival section of grading?

Bearissoslow Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I'll take Wallace, I guess. By the by, sorry for starting late. I'll be able to start by tomorrow or (at latest) Wednesday. Unrecruited characters that die do not affect the Survival ranking, so I'd say so. I'm not sure if that's the standard for this run, though.
