The easiest thing to do is wait at the beginning of the map and kill the reinforcements as they come before you proceed further down. I believe there are six waves of reinforcements from the top of the map where you start, each coming every two turns. The first two waves consist of Knights and Fighters, the next two waves consist of Mercenaries and Archers, and the last two waves consist of Cavaliers and Wyvern Riders. There are also reinforcements that come from the boat in the southeast consisting of Pirates and ...something else. I don't remember.

What Level are your units? Have they been getting RNG-screwed? Did any die in previous chapters? Just have your most of your units be where they started by the time each wave arrives, and kill each one by one. It would help to have some anti-Horse or anti-Armor weapons on hand.

Renais Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Another thing in future patches or if you make new hacks you may want to space out the amount of master seals you get i think being able to promote everyone by chapter 9 is a bit op theres 19 chapters right? space them out!! but overall this hack is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like a lot of the harder chapters I've played so far are sort of designed around early promotion so that you can get immediate bonuses for fighting the stronger enemies. EDIT: While you do get a lot of Master Seals by Chapter 9, I don't think it's enough to promote everyone yet.

Roosterton Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 7 hours ago, Lord of Gabriel Knight said: So I've gotten to chapter 10 of the hard mode patch and the northeastern village does not have an event. I've tried with several characters to visit, but it does not work. However, the northeastern bandit is still scripted to head for and destroy it. Sorry for the late response! I think I know what's causing this, and I think this problem can be fixed by closing the ROM and re-opening it with 'resume game.' I will implement a more permanent fix later tonight.

Maybe I did go a bit overboard in a few places (e.g. three of them in ch.8) but oh well, you can sell any extras for cash. 3 hours ago, Renais said: Hey, i just finished chapter 7 and the first second red town house you can reach skips the cut-scene and you just get the red stone. if you had something thought you may want to fix that :) Thanks for pointing this out!

Jotari Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I don't think the Master Seals are badly spaced. 19 chapters is a little on the low side as far as Fire Emblem games go, so it makes sense that things happen a but faster. Also, is there a reward for keeping the allied NPCs alive in Chapter 9? If so, then they should probably have some luck, because they face non negligible crit rates that leaves saving them all completely in the hands of the RNG.

There's currently no reward for saving the generic allies - they exist to buy you some extra time to make it over there.

It should also be fixed as of version 1.0.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Ithipathachai Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I've been having a ton of trouble with Chapter 10. Even after promoting my units even earlier than I wanted to, I still can't reach the Village without someone dying. It's already bad enough that there are two bosses initially that can move, but the third one and his buddies that show up later just seem like overkill. Also doesn't help that they're stupidly powerful and can move through the deserts unimpeded while your units that have gone to protect the village will likely be worn down and stuck in the sand. I get that they're supposed to make you move to the exit faster, but I feel like the time limit to recruit Aminda is more than enough for that.

I get that they're supposed to make you move to the exit faster, but I feel like the time limit to recruit Aminda is more than enough for that. The initial two bosses don't (shouldn't?) move unless you enter their range. In my experience, the best options for reaching the village are: Early promoted Janessa w/fili shield and chrysalis, gets there fast and tanks everything Early promoted wyvern knight Henley w/fili shield, p.much same deal as Janessa Early promoted sage Cassius, gets there fast and can kill everything on enemy phase thx to 1-2 range (may need to give him some statboosters/barrier staff so he survives) By using mages and/or fliers to reach the village, you ensure that they don't get stuck in the sand when the reinforcements come after them. Your cavalry & slower units can push west up through the non-desert terrain. That said this is definitely a tricky chapter, and desert maps are always annoying to begin with, so this is one that I've been thinking about rebalancing. I'll see if other people voice similar concerns and then make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) I agree it needs to be toned down a little bit. I would suggest the 1st 2 bosses be a bit further apart from each other. That is the biggest problem to tackle in that chapter. Both are too close to each other that you can wind up fighting both of them at once and its a chore to fight 1 at a time as is. Getting to the house was easy for me Since i had a promoted Keena and I had Jenessa and take care of the house for me.The extra boss and mages wasn't really a problem for me. Keena is a dodge tank that dodges very well. Edited May 27, 2018 by Chaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the two bosses be in range of one another was a deliberate choice to make breaking through to the seize point a serious challenge, but I'll do some testing and see how it plays out if I shuffle the units around.

If it helps at all, the Berserker boss near the top can be easily disabled with the Sleep staff. The Sage boss can also be put to sleep, albeit with a roughly 50/50 success rate.

Jotari Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'm going to have to agree about the complaints about chapter 10, and add that those Bishops are way too fast. They're one rounding almost my entire army. It's pretty frustrating trying to save the village, recruit the dancer and escape the reinforcements. Usually multiple goals like that are a good thing, but on a desert map with some very powerful enemies that you can't easily escape from, it just makes things frustrating.
