Tori Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I think I'd only make use of the prison in Hoshido. I'd probably do so to get a mercenary on my team if the Hoshido story line doesn't offer one, mainly since that's always been my favorite go-to class. Then I could utilize streetpass to grind it up a bit. On the Nohr path, though, I think I'd just focus all my experience on my main units. Could probably use the dragon vein points I'd put into the prison on other things too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would try to use some as support with buff or debuff auras... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avarice Shadow Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would use them as sacrificial pawns and get my revenge against the AI. Don't you just hate it when they kamikaze on your unit until they're weak enough to be killed by their last unit? Not today... Not ever again. Muwhahahahaha!

BlizzardWolf95 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It all depends on whether or not they can:A) Have their names edited.B) Be reclassed.Then I'd just make spritual successors of my avatars from Awakening out of them, and maybe use them more than the actual units in-game.If they can't do either, I'll just use them as fodder if I need some expendable units on a survival/protect chapter, or something.

Soapbar Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 A) Have their names edited. If you can do this I'm gonna get a bunch of Knights, rename them to "Imperial Guard" and then give them 5 forged lances which read in order: STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Sword Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Pilfer their weapons so that my non-generic units can use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) What do you guys think about more of these nameless soldiers in general? I'd actually love to see much more of them on your side. As FE is now, it always feels like I have a bunch of super saijins purging their way through enemy lines. It doesn't feel like a battle if you don't have any casualities... not to mention actually 'armies' fighting. 12 people doesn't feel like an army.

NeonZ Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) We don't know how good or bad their stats will be at this point. Even if they can't keep up with the main cast though, I probably will use at least one of them in my main team - with a class exclusive of the opposite faction.

EDIT: Imaging Advance Wars with the commanders as playable hero units... big Tami fan here That could change FE's gameplay in a very different direction though. I wonder if in a more advanced system they couldn't just incorporate generic units in the background of some battlefields. IF seems to do it in the big split chapter, but they're just standing still in the background, rather than fighting among themselves.

SatsumaFSoysoy Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Maybe these mooks will have their own pool of inherent skills? I'm most likely never going to use them except as bait or maybe have they help out in My Castle lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluCommander Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Depending on how the captured units will work, and how their usability is, I might do a playthrough of using all captured units (with Kamui as the exception of course) just for the lulz of it all. This is what I will likely end up doing as well. Perhaps a lunatic+ run where I won't feel guilty about losing some people. Idk fire emblem with generic units appeals to me for some reason.

DRTJR Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Gather an army of nameless healers to keep the actual fighting units up and ready for war! And if the generics can be named then I'll have an army of Steve's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueL Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I believe the captured units are just generic enemy units, so I probably won't bother with them unless I decide to play Lunatic classic or something lol. Then I can use them to protect my units. I've considered this as well but I feel like I'd rather just use a non-generic unit who can actually gain experience and support points. Although if we have one of those chapters like Chapter 21 in FE6 where you can just bring a crazy amount of units I'd totally bring some units as meat shields. I would use them as sacrificial pawns and get my revenge against the AI. Don't you just hate it when they kamikaze on your unit until they're weak enough to be killed by their last unit? Not today... Not ever again. Muwhahahahaha! I love this post. What do you guys think about more of these nameless soldiers in general? I'd actually love to see much more of them on your side.

EDIT: Imaging Advance Wars with the commanders as playable hero units... big Tami fan here I actually like the idea. Maybe not for a whole game, but maybe there could be a gaiden chapter or two where you got to bring like 20-50 generic soldiers to fight against a large opposing army of say 50+ units. The generic enemy units could be slightly weaker but they'd also be accompanied by a dozen or so mini-bosses who are designed to be taken on by you're regular (i.e., non-generic) units. Of course it would need to be on a much, much larger map... And as for "12 people doesn't feel like an army" and feel like super sayians, I've always looked at the player units as the equivalent to a special strike force that handles the toughest units while the generic soldiers fight more mundane battles elsewhere and maintain the peace of an area after you leave.

Thane Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Cannon fodder. I'm going to send generic units and Hinata to meet their doom so I can focus on more important things like playing around with Dragon's Vein and making up fun names for Odin.
