Why are there so many breakable walls surrounding the enemy fort? If you're going to have a stringent turn limit of 10, don't add so many terrain obstacles preventing you from advancing.

That was literally the map I had in mind, I'm wasting either too much time breaking the wall myself and getting ganged up on or waiting for them to break it (which they sometimes don't), and just wasting time and I miss capturing the fort -_- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is in spite of using some +10 merged units from my friend's list. Before, I used to use single merged units of my own and they had better performance so it seems like the enemies are tougher as well this time around. Maybe it is because of Myrrh and Tiki.

The most i could do is damage the fort, but still haven't conquered it. Last GC i was doing it at turn 7 most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johann Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Definitely feels like they've been getting a lot more experimental with the map designs, particularly obsticals. Of the maps I've seen, only a couple are well suited for my cavalry line-up. I suppose the enemies are getting stronger if you figure the average player strength is always increasing, and there are all kinds of new skills people are using.

Rezzy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I don't know why, but I'm on Team Sharena for the first round every time in GC. If the pattern holds, I will be on Team Anna in Round 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always run cavalry no matter what, but yeah it's definitely the best by far. Getting that guaranteed follow-up attack is a major help considering all the Wary Fighters. Not to mention, it's extremely rare that people bring anti-cavalry weaponry, but lots of people bring anti-armor weaponry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always match my brigades up to the movement type, so I don't feel like I'm missing out. Cavalry>Flier>Infantry>Armor is my preferred order.

Jingle Jangle Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Would a B Skill called Live for Glory that can "can earn points for their kills in arena as if they were a bonus unit" make arena scoring better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavalry>Flier>Infantry>Armor is my preferred order. They're on that exact rotation if I remember right, so after Cavalry it should be Fliers. Would also mean that next month's GC would be Infantry > Armor > Cavalry Edited October 22, 2018 by Johann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSSKG151 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) Eh, I always thought most GC maps weren't that great since cavalry or flier teams seems to be the way to go unless infantry units got bonus effects. Putting breakable objects in the way just makes things more annoying and I hate having to waste attacks breaking them due to being turn limitations. Also hi @Alexmender I guess we are on the same team in GC or at least I am sure this is you since I don't know anyone else with that name who uses a +10 Eirika wearing red glasses.

Tybrosion Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 @Icelerate @Landmaster Is this the one you two are talking about? Spoiler If so, I just stumbled upon it myself and my first thought was "what the hell am I looking at". I did manage to get 20 KOs and capture everything (was only playing on Lunatic), but this map is still hot garbage with how RD is set up (namely, its 10-turn time limit).

daisy jane Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have to say, using some friend Units. I REALLY REALLY Like Veronica - and I am now a little sad I didn't pull her during the free unit summon. I really like Ayra and now I hope I can get her on a focus banner or something. I have to move things to see if I actually do like Winter Lissa . regarding the GC maps. there was one i liked.. but a lot of them are weird and a lot of obstacles. it's so odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgius Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 While playing GC just there I learned something about Warp Powder. It lets you warp through enemies: Spoiler This entire time I've been using Zelgius I never realised it did this, that's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one's wacky, but at least you can hit enemies from over the walls. There's definitely one (I can't access it right now for a picture) where, as I recall, you're in the middle, two camps above you, and the enemy base below surrounded by a large breakable wall two spaces thick. Probably the most absurd map I've seen, I'll put it up if I get to see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this one, but the one with that same wall at the bottom of the map. It starts your units down there and has two more bases at the top, probably the one @Johann, was describing. It's just totally absurd. Like having to waste time sending like 2-3 units up on both sides to get those bases while I have a handful trying to do something down at the main base is just not it when you only have 10 turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Dragon Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Grand Conquest maps like these are the reason why I'm not going to take the capturing nodes part of the game mode seriously. I have no intent to suffer though shitty maps just for a few more feathers and medallions when it actively hinders the acquisition of orbs and coins.
