Reikken Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Ok, I understand it now. What happens is that for a low growth, the stat is more likely to deviate down (slightly... like 42% vs 40%), but when it does deviate up, it's more likely to deviate by a greater amount. And the inverse for a higher growth. That stuff about the average being lower than the average is quite wrong, though. The average is the average and therefore cannot be lower than the average. I don't know what you were trying to say, but what you said isn't right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torifae Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Oscar > Kieran Because you get Oscar first before Kieran even joins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 So a character who fails massively but joins in the first chapter > a character who is teh bomb at everything but joins in chapter 15 or so? Lol no. Note that this is just an example :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torifae Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I usually play by characters who comes first come first serve. That's how I do it. <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm fine with that, but it does not matter how you play the game in a debate :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Like I said, it was just an example. Just two random, non-existent characters ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanccl Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 He said it was just an example. I'm all for using people who start with you earlier because generally speaking, you can get them to equivalent/higher level before the other person joins. The earlier you get them, the sooner you can see if you're getting blessed or screwed over in terms of stats with them, meaning you can keep them if they are becoming godlike or dump them if they suck. Case in point: I started using Makalov once he joined my last playthrough because Oscar was still stuck at 9 speed at level 15 or 16 or so, and Kieran hadn't gained a point in strength and was about the same level. Mak's stats were lower when he joined, but he also joins at a low level and had time to grow. Once he got level equivalent (which really doesn't take long if you focus on just raising up a unit or two), he was superior to them. That's part of the fun of the FE games, if you ask me.

Defeatist Elitist Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If I'm actually playing, I usually train the character I get earlier, until I get the later character, and then compare them. The worse one is usually not used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
