Why do people like Hector? I seriously don't know.

His boat conversation with Lyn is when I started to like him, and there is a lot hiding underneath that violent appearance, and he became one of my favorite characters in FE7.

Why can Hector ORKO this guy now? He couldn't before! What is going on?

Those Hard Mode bonuses add a lot of stat variance to the enemies. Not FE5's ludicrous levels of stat variance, but it can swing things a fair bit.

Toast! I don't have to worry about Matthew because the knight seems to only attack Hector! I'll just keep Matthew nearby in case Hector needs help next turn-

...Oh that is going to make things interesting, and more difficult for you. On the one hand you get the rarely seen alternate version of this chapter's ending, plus the far more depressing version of Leila's death, but you will miss out on your first Elysian's Whip, Guiding Ring, Hero Crest (there might be a way to convince the thief in 17 to go for it and kill it off of him, but you will miss the first Knight's crest instead). Also rip silver card.

Urgh...Don't remind me...I'm afraid for what you guys will say if I lose Marcus.

Everyone looses Marcus on FE7 HHM ironmans. He is too good not to deploy, and he is so good that he is always sent to where you most need help. Even my successful one lost him on Cog of Destiny, but I have lost him as early as 13x...

I would prefer to get the Hero guy's Four-fanged offense, (I can't remember his name, though. Lukardo? No, that's not it...) as it is much more fun than his swordmaster brother's version.

Its Linus for the Hero, and Llyod for the Sword Master. Kinda hoping you get the Sword Master, that way the almost unseen alternate ending to Cog of Destiny where Hector kills Linus has a minuscule chance of occurring.

Let's see what this person has to say. Also, pegasus riders? Why are there pegasus riders? Not gonna complain, they're ripe for Rebecca, Dorcas, Lowen and Hector!

Get used to them. HHM is kinda obsessed with fliers.

A good hector level! Yay! What even is a "Guy"? Never heard of him. Not a swordmaster one. Not the only decent swordmaster in FE7. Definitely not. Nope.

Decent Swordmaster? This is FE7, there was never one of those in this game.

Who knew that even Helman could stoop so low? It must have been high-quality before Nergal got involved and took Hellmann's L and N! NERGAL, YOU MADMAN! Before that, he was Erga! I know it!

What a dumb name. No wonder he stole them.

True. Who says that she WASN'T happy with Zephiel, though?

...Ignore the fact that her portrait looks perpetually depressed.

I meant the fact she canonically dies.

Too bad Hector didn't bring the Grooseinator. It could help take out the armor knights once the wolf Beil breaks. I can dig Groose being the protagonist of an FE game.

He does however have the Hectorcopter.

If that's what he's like when he's in a hurry, I'm glad we didn't go to the same middle school! Imagine him trying to get to his locker...

WURK-46.png?dl=0

Thank you, Oswin. Hector looks like he doesn't care, though.

To be fair, the guy was blatantly trying to cover up an attempt to kill Eliwood.

13 hours ago, Benice said:

He is incredibly bad at base, but has a much better speed growth, (IIRC 35%-ish) and may have better defense? I want to use him.

Just generally better growths bar.... skill. Which sadly, in his case might be needed.

Finally! The only one that had >50% chance to hit is the one that missed.

Not that the hit would've done much.

I would make a snarky comment about "Hard" mode, but...

To be fair, Oswin does come in with good bases and a high level. He'd just about be a Jagen if his growths weren't good enough to keep him going all game.

Aghhh...90 exp. So close...I need her to be at least level 10 for the dread isle. I really want some promoted people to help take out Kishuna. Swordmaster!Guy is also someone I'm going to have to bring along. That sword accuracy and better strength than Lyn and Crit is gonna be a lifesaver!

Wait...

Guy is recruited by Matthew and Matthew alone...

...

No!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! ARGHHHHHHGHGHGHHHH!!!!!! THE ONLY GOOD SWORDMASTER!! TAKE ME NOW, ELIMINE!

On the bright side, swords aren't very good in this game. I mean 1-2 range options dominate, and swords don't have much in that field.

I don't know, I think there's more of us that read your threads than ones who don't at this point. (Checked, I think there's literally two people I don't recall seeing in your LP of Berwick, and for all I know they're just quiet)

And, admittedly, soldier boy was about to let Eliwood get bandited without lifting a finger, but still. I like to think that he just knocked the guy out. Much less... questionable.

I've always been under the impression that banditry was planned as a way to knock off Eliwood without suspicion and soldier boy was there to report back on it after it was done. I mean, considering Santuraz was in with Darin and Ephidel's scheme.

Random thought, but reading this, it hits me that... damn, it really has been over half a decade since I last played this game. I couldn't even remember this guy.

Don't feel bad. I ironmanned it in 2018... and I still forgot this guy. Not the map, but what he looked like. He's just Gheb-lite.

She has decent CON, but is otherwise awful at base.

12 Con OMG.... that's actually tremendously high, after promotion she will be able to use Steel Lances unimpeded

On 5/6/2020 at 6:45 PM, Benice said:

I shouldn't have nerfed her speed that much! Then again, ORKOing everything on the map except for the cavs and Ceramic is a tad too powerful.

You can then increase her speed growth or give her a slightly higher accuracy and damage bosst.

He's a menace to the entire city forum!

Indeed! Who knows what kind of pun he'll make for Marcus.

I'd feel bad for him if Gronzji (or whatever that guy's name was) was playable and died. That would not be easy to pun.

Ah... ahah, I'm sorry, what?

Well... as much as I cannot believe what I'm reading, this calls for a bad edit.

Ozkdxfhm o

There we go. Now 80% of your readers are confused.

My eyes...My sanity...Arghh...Ward's magic is even worse, thankfully. I think.

He can marry Serra.

MY SANITY!!! ARRRRRGHHHHHH! NEIN! NON-CANON! IT'S NON-CANON!

This is a really weird moment. It feels like the game is telling you that Hector murdering that guy is fine because he's the good guy and soldier boy's the bad guy. And, admittedly, soldier boy was about to let Eliwood get bandited without lifting a finger, but still. I like to think that he just knocked the guy out. Much less... questionable.

Yeah, let's go with that.

Julius. I agree, his map is better than Barker's version. Really wish we had gotten to recruit them, though. If only Carla hadn't deceived Bahanuk under Guenchaos's orders...

FE7 IS A BAD RIPOFF OF TEARRING SAGA

How dare you say something so horrible? Wallace is, like, my favorite character in FE7. Or at least top 4, alongside Pent, Louise and Renault.

Unit-wise, Wallace is bad. I like his character. What, no Canas? Also, fun fact, according to the pallette editors in FeBuilder, Pent is Panto.

Ah, yes, the staple of any good FE LP: low % hits.

Just wait 'till you see this update.

You know what baffles me about every single screenshot GBAFE LP I've ever seen? These things. Everyone gets at least four of these every update, but not once in my entire FE6 LP did I see anything remotely close. What gives?

The text flying all over the place? I'm bad at taking screenshots, so maybe it's me. I usually just turn Airplane mode on by accident.

All I will say is, Moulder is the most fun GBA healer. Lifting elfire tomes with no AS loss is awesome.

I've actually never used him. L'Arachel is the only staff unit I've ever promoted.

And Priscilla, but she was so abyssmal that she doesn't count.

Hey...

Oh right, that was your thing in your FE6 LP. Forgot about that, actually.

Let's goo, copyright infringement no. 2!

I relate to this so much. At least you haven't lost the singular warp user in the entire game...

I'm sure I'll lose a lot more than that.

Now I challenge thee to use Karla. Hah!

I'm planning to, but that involves Bartre surviving. Which I highly doubt. You will too after this update.

Random thought, but reading this, it hits me that... damn, it really has been over half a decade since I last played this game. I couldn't even remember this guy.

Ehh, he's entirely unmemorable. Can't be FE without bad bosses!

Ahahahahahahahah... man, it really is fun when it doesn't happen to you!

Well, at least my lack of skill is entertaining.

Just me messing up a lot. Welcome back~!

His boat conversation with Lyn is when I started to like him, and there is a lot hiding underneath that violent appearance, and he became one of my favorite characters in FE7.

Oh, so he does get characterization? Good. He was awful in Eliwood mode.

Those Hard Mode bonuses add a lot of stat variance to the enemies. Not FE5's ludicrous levels of stat variance, but it can swing things a fair bit.

I'm assuming it's due to the class growths autoleveling the enemies?

...Oh that is going to make things interesting, and more difficult for you.

Also rip silver card.

The silver card probably won't be helpful because I still don't have a penny to my name.

Everyone looses Marcus on FE7 HHM ironmans. He is too good not to deploy, and he is so good that he is always sent to where you most need help. Even my successful one lost him on Cog of Destiny, but I have lost him as early as 13x...

Dang. I'm sure I'll follow suit.

Its Linus for the Hero, and Llyod for the Sword Master. Kinda hoping you get the Sword Master, that way the almost unseen alternate ending to Cog of Destiny where Hector kills Linus has a minuscule chance of occurring.

An alternate ending? Well, if Eliwood's levels of suckage remain as high as they currently are, I'm not sure I'll reach the 16/17/17 levels for the lords.

Get used to them. HHM is kinda obsessed with fliers.

Glad I trained Wil then!

Decent Swordmaster? This is FE7, there was never one of those in this game.

He was one of my MVPs in the first run. That 15 crit bonus goes a long way. And he would have been so helpful for Kishuna...I'm not sure I'll actually be able to get the Gaiden for the Gaiden.

What a dumb name. No wonder he stole them.

But he stole good mayonnaise from Elibe! How can you sympathize with such a monster?!

I meant the fact she canonically dies.

Welp.

He does however have the Hectorcopter.

I wanna sell it so I can buy Farina.

To be fair, the guy was blatantly trying to cover up an attempt to kill Eliwood.

Or maybe Lycians just go around murdering people.

Just generally better growths bar.... skill. Which sadly, in his case might be needed.

Bartre needs no skill, as he benefits from divine grace!

Not that the hit would've done much.

Still satisfying that it missed after 42-42-27 hit.

To be fair, Oswin does come in with good bases and a high level. He'd just about be a Jagen if his growths weren't good enough to keep him going all game.

God, I hope I don't kill him early...

On the bright side, swords aren't very good in this game. I mean 1-2 range options dominate, and swords don't have much in that field.

But Kishuna...I needed him for Kishuna...Wil has to be blessed.

I don't know, I think there's more of us that read your threads than ones who don't at this point. (Checked, I think there's literally two people I don't recall seeing in your LP of Berwick, and for all I know they're just quiet)

Does that make this the pseudo crossover you were looking for?

I've always been under the impression that banditry was planned as a way to knock off Eliwood without suspicion and soldier boy was there to report back on it after it was done. I mean, considering Santuraz was in with Darin and Ephidel's scheme.

Well, as we do see in this update, they told Mayo that they were just going to scare Eliwood.

Don't feel bad. I ironmanned it in 2018... and I still forgot this guy. Not the map, but what he looked like. He's just Gheb-lite.

There is no such thing as a Light Gheb. We call them pathetic.

For you.

And for everyone else, I hope.

Oh boy you actually made a map!

Indeed! It took me a while to get rid of all of the gamebreaking parts, such as the bandit reinforcements from the forts, (which was a tripwire spawn) spawning every turn. I actually still managed to beat the chapter by camping Swift on a fort then promoting her with a master seal.

Heheheheehehe lol

12 Con OMG.... that's actually tremendously high, after promotion she will be able to use Steel Lances unimpeded

It's going to be her one advantage over the next one they get.

You can then increase her speed growth or give her a slightly higher accuracy and damage bosst.

Eh, she can take out armor knights, that's all they need her to do.

SERRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The entire ironman in a nutshell. Blame it on Serra!

Lol this girl.

You know, I'm starting to really like this side-story. It's really cute and well written!

D'awww! Thanks!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

JAJAJAJAJA HAHAHAHAHAHAHH omg an antibrain...

So it didn't load state! It is just a restart chapter button!

Me every time I use Rebecca. EVERY DAMN TIME! She refuses to get good level-ups, I hate it.

She's so fun to use once she's good too.

Every time, I swear Eliwood does this garbage too.

How could this be possible?! He's got amazing growths!

I may be misremembering, but it looks like he got some sweet HHM bonuses. Man, what an absolute beast! Great speed and skill, decent base defense, decent HP, great base strength...

Guy is absolutely terrifying as an enemy. He'll probably double everyone except for Marcus.

THE MAP:

As usual, because it's Hector mode, there's more enemies. And Matthew isn't there. And Lowen's where Marcus is.

Bandit?! What are you doing here?

I suppose I owe an expanation. When I had to redo Lyn mode to unlock HHM, I created Bandit to cheese the maps.

WURK-52.png?dl=0

It turns out that I didn't need to because I just edited the maps to end after Lyn did anything at all. Not sure why he's here, though.

WURK-57.png?dl=0

Bwaha! Check out THAT canto range! Oh. Whoops. Broke the game. Note to self; the game does not like movement ranges over 47.

There we go. Different ROM, so Bandit can no longer do anything.

All that happens on player turn is Dorcas V. Snag.

Eliwood and Lowen both have this hitrate on Guy. If Eliwood weren't a lord, I would absolutely sacrifice him instead, but since he causes a game over if he dies, it feels like cheating to use him. Besides, Lowen will only die from a crit if he misses. Argh...I have to do it with Lowen!

That is the wrong way of judging a unit's performance. The real question is, do they have enough a chance to fail? In an ironman run, that is what matters. Even if it's a tiny chance, it's not worth risking.

He's so bad that he single-handedly cemented the reputation of fighters being bad. You don't need an argument beyond "Bartre in FE7". The one time I used him, which was before I ever heard of an Ironman, I had to reset twice. Both the deaths were Bartre.

Yeah. Whoever owned my copy of FE7 (yes I bought it pre-owned) before me was either a kid, a masochist, or a tactical screw-up the likes of which cannot be described. I mean, their end game team included Marcus, Renault, Pent, Louise, Vaida, Geitz, Hawkeye, Eliwood, Lyn and Hector... and maybe Harken. I think. Or I should say the units they had alive/not injured included. As in everyone else was dead. They were on the final map. To be honest I don't know what to make of it. Did they intentionally kill off non-pre-promotes? Were their strategies based around units being expendable? If they were only using pre-promotes, what gives with Jaffar being dead/not recruited? Honestly wonder sometimes.

He is the first with HHM bonuses. Note that the extra stat variance of HHM bonuses applies to recruitables as well, and kinda screwed you, as the Guy you faced after the reset due to bandit had an extra HP...

Its interesting that you added something like this, as every other unit that is even slightly related to FE6 gets a scene at the end of the chapter they fall in where they retreat like this, but Rebecca, mother of Wolt, and likely the one that breast feed Roy just...dies. Its an odd oversight.

Dangit! There goes the energy ring. Well, at least I can't give it to Rebecca anymore. Since she doesn't have a hand to put it on.

Its just a mine, which is either a major loss if you plan on using the mine glitch, or a minor one. I found the mine kinda useful on my ironman attempts as it stops an enemy units turn and damages them, but it is mostly useful against tough enemies, which FE7 is generally short on (it like to drown you in flies instead)

Mine cheese? Can you eat it? I'm assuming you mean the mine control glitch. And phew, I didn't lose the energy ring.

Because reasons, you can only edit character's levels in their first appearance and I didn't want to cheat by getting Kent/Sain extra levels and stats so I needed a way to cheese it. And I also almost killed Florina in chapter 3.

That is the wrong way of judging a unit's performance. The real question is, do they have enough a chance to fail? In an ironman run, that is what matters. Even if it's a tiny chance, it's not worth risking.

Ah, resorting to the "spare favorite unit from death" trick. I understand, I've employed it in the past also.

Actually, it's only because she's Wolt's mom, but unlike the other FE7 parents, she doesn't retreat. That's also why, depending on how he late he dies, I'm planning to spare Wil. (Woah spoilers.) The only one who actually could die without further ruining FE7's continuity with FE6 that I'm planning to spare is Florina. And also Serra, for fanfic reasons. Err...Not that our Endgame Cleric could ever die!

Mostly how I felt when I found out that Roy can fuck Cecilia. Why?

Family life lessons?

Muttonman for best unit.

That would be utterly depressing.

The way this ironman is going. Jeez, three maps in and I'm already less than half an army. Our Caelin squad cannot arrive soon enough. Maybe Raven will be good for once! He's always absolutely awful for me. Maybe HHM bonuses will do him a favor

Now, let's not go too far...

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO GO TOO FAR! ELIWOOD WENT TOO FAR WHEN HE HAD HIS SECOND STRAIGHT HP LEVEL!

Sheesh... that was a bit of a disaster... but not to worry. Everything will be all right. It's not over until it's over.

We shall overcome any and all obstacles that Nergal shall throw in our way! I have Bartre, Dorcas and Oswin on my side!

But dang, I'm sad that I have to use Marcus. I wanted to only use bad units. Or at least mediocre...

Whoopsie. Misinterpreted it.

Not yet. That'd be if the stories tied together. Which would be hard given the fact that... well, you know. No one knows who'll live in either.

At this rate? Hector will live.

Yep. 3 HP, 2 strength, 2 skill, 2 speed, 1 defense and 1 res. No luck though. Reflected in the fact he's unrecruitable.

Dang, that would have been nice.

Well that's just something that should have been in the game.

Indeed.

Kind of loses his steam on higher difficulties. HHM specifically.

Oy vey. Getting to Linus's Four-Fanged offense is going to be an uphill battle.

Or just enemies. He's got 3 speed.

He only has been able to be doubled by two enemies thus far-Guy and a brigand.

Tankier bosses maybe. Yeah.. Marcus is more of an emergency delete button than a "feed kills to weak units" button.

Both have their pros and cons...But I like to use bad units, so I prefer the feed kills kind.

This is where an archer would have been handy. We kind of see the cumulative effect of an Iron Man building fast.

It's okay! Wil totally was blessed and can carry the team!

I wouldn't tempt fate like that.

Oh yeah...Bartre can get killed by Karla...I forgot about that... I must get Bartre to survive to be a level 5 warrior! Wait, can Bartre kill Karla?

Yep... this is very... Saint Rubenio-esque. Bad luck. Four dead units (counting Guy) in three chapters. Can we survive with this fatality rate?

Yes we can! The strong will survive!

And dang, Rubenio-esque. That's high praise.

Are you trying to steal Pengauis thing? Not that it matters. He's going to do them anyway.

THERE'S TWO OF THEM! PENGAIUSES! PENGAIUSES EVERYWHERE!

But please keep making fun of me I like those views.

I nearly forgot. Sacred Stones Easy Mode is just normal mode with the tutorial on. Seriously. Kind of like Lyn Hard mode is just Lyn mode without the fixed fight with Batta the beast or other tutorial crap. Seriously.

You are speaking to a man who game-overed six times in the Sacred stones prologue on normal mode in their first playthrough of any FE game. Which was in October. Dang, I am pretty new to this. I'd best get better at this!

He's so bad that he single-handedly cemented the reputation of fighters being bad. You don't need an argument beyond "Bartre in FE7". The one time I used him, which was before I ever heard of an Ironman, I had to reset twice. Both the deaths were Bartre.

Really? I always thought that Dorcas was considered worse, but that may have been the product of the Mutton Memes. Nothing will ever change my mind that Lot is the best fighter!

Yes. Gheb is much loved among the waifu emblem community for having the largest breasts of any character in the series. You don't want to piss off everyone who plays for their waifus do you?

...

Yeah. Whoever owned my copy of FE7 (yes I bought it pre-owned) before me was either a kid, a masochist, or a tactical screw-up the likes of which cannot be described. I mean, their end game team included Marcus, Renault, Pent, Louise, Vaida, Geitz, Hawkeye, Eliwood, Lyn and Hector... and maybe Harken. I think. Or I should say the units they had alive/not injured included. As in everyone else was dead. They were on the final map. To be honest I don't know what to make of it. Did they intentionally kill off non-pre-promotes? Were their strategies based around units being expendable? If they were only using pre-promotes, what gives with Jaffar being dead/not recruited? Honestly wonder sometimes.

On Eliwood normal? If it was Hector Hard...Well, I can see this run turning into something similar. Jeez, I hope I don't have to use Pent.

Maybe I got screwed or something but I was starting to get really squished out when it came to which units I should use around chapter 22 and then I didn't bring her until like 24 and she just sucked at everything! I promoted her at level 13 because her stats were insufferable but it didn't help... oh well...

Huh, she was one of my MVPs. That was in Eliwood normal, though.

Now you made Wil into a total sub.

Energy ring?? Man I sure would've loved if FE7 wasn't trash and gave me options early on as to what to do! You actually get a mine from that garbage village, I like to rescue it for "completion" but many people ignore it.

I'm glad I only missed a mine.

Or you know... Priscilla joins!

I forgot about her. And she was just so horrendously bad in my first run...

This is actually great design, wow FE7! You did somethign right for a change! This is so you can put him on the frontlines and have him tank Guy, and a crit is nasty but it's not so bad.

Every time FE7 does something right, one of my units dies...

This is legitimately sad, though better strategies could've been used...

Good Strategy is for wimps! Nah man, putting squishies on the frontline is the way to go.

He is the first with HHM bonuses. Note that the extra stat variance of HHM bonuses applies to recruitables as well, and kinda screwed you, as the Guy you faced after the reset due to bandit had an extra HP...

Playable units vary too? Dang, I wonder how different he was post-bandit reset.

Its interesting that you added something like this, as every other unit that is even slightly related to FE6 gets a scene at the end of the chapter they fall in where they retreat like this, but Rebecca, mother of Wolt, and likely the one that breast feed Roy just...dies. Its an odd oversight.

It was a weird thing considering how Wolt is one of the first units you get.

Its just a mine, which is either a major loss if you plan on using the mine glitch, or a minor one. I found the mine kinda useful on my ironman attempts as it stops an enemy units turn and damages them, but it is mostly useful against tough enemies, which FE7 is generally short on (it like to drown you in flies instead)

No mine glitch for me! Last time I got a mine I killed Eliwood with it.

When people want Marcus to feed kills they usually have him carry a unit that is otherwise dead weight to lower that speed of his.

That would have been a good idea.

Ouch. At least you went through Lyn Mode, so Sain, and Kent might be usable when you get them.

Kent, maybe. Sain? Doubtful.

Eliwood is always a gamble. An  Eligood is still good on HHM (especially with him able to take that first heaven's seal), but an Elibad is so much worse (and his is looking like an Elibad at this point).

He can make up for it!

Head-Up Display - in other words, the interface. You know, the boxes where the numbers and names appear? That's a HUD.Anything that's a display of information that is useful for the player and that remains on-screen most of the time is a HUD. Almost every game has a HUD of some sort, even if it's just a bunch of hearts to display your health. Sorry if I'm overexplaining it.

Nope, Bartre and his 3 speed are considered to be worse by far, unless you look at a 2008 Gamefaqs guide that only considers the growths and nothing else. Dorkass is bad, don't get me wrong, but his bases at least let him do something. Bartre is only saved from Wendy-tier because he joins earlier.

I do agree that Lot is best fighter. Not objectively, but I do love his unreal defense.

Also try to keep her alive for a couple chapters so you don't lose three units in one blow.

 

Also, according to my calculations, and assuming you don't go to any gaidens, you have lost 12% of the roster (even more if we count pent and louise, harken and karel, and ninian and nils as one character each) and only 13% of the way through hector mode. Slow down a bit. Or don't, this might get interesting.

My dude saga, chapters 4/5: A dishonorable zictory and bad update/Dorcas's Mutton Song.

I have learned that 13x is not a good idea with only Bartre, Dorcas, Oswin and Marcus + lords. I eventually got it on (by my count) my ninth attempt, (Merlinus death x 6, Eliwood x 2) but in those previous eight attempts, everybody not named Oswin or Hector died at least once; (Bartre died thrice, Marcus once, Dorcas once) Bartre also died on my successful one, (hecking 42% iron axe...) So be aware that Dorcas and Marcus will be noted as "Dishonorably spared" in the death count list and are still allowed to be deployed. Despite the amount of deaths and resets, nothing much happened; It all depended on whether Hector took out an archer on turn one and Eliwood not being doubled by the Myrmidon. After that it was more straightforward. As such, I'll just leave the 13x update as a montage of the thing that every FE6 player wanted: Merlinus deaths!

Sorry. I know, my sense of humor is great. But even I'm not that evil.

Ghee is very good in curry. Guy is very good in the art of killing my hopes for a successful ironman.

Head-Up Display - in other words, the interface. You know, the boxes where the numbers and names appear? That's a HUD.Anything that's a display of information that is useful for the player and that remains on-screen most of the time is a HUD. Almost every game has a HUD of some sort, even if it's just a bunch of hearts to display your health. Sorry if I'm overexplaining it.

Thanks! That helps a lot. Hurrah, my soul grew 12 years younger! Soon, It'll be younger than Charlemagne!

Nope, Bartre and his 3 speed are considered to be worse by far, unless you look at a 2008 Gamefaqs guide that only considers the growths and nothing else. Dorkass is bad, don't get me wrong, but his bases at least let him do something. Bartre is only saved from Wendy-tier because he joins earlier.

Maybe if I'd paid attention to which units are good I'd be better off... Nah, this has better entertainment value! (I hope.)

I do agree that Lot is best fighter. Not objectively, but I do love his unreal defense.

Defensive fighters are underrated! Axes are buff enough to not require much strength!

Wa... how did that cavalier make it that far? It takes him two move points to make it through the forest, so he's one shy of reaching Serra. Unless I'm missing something, I don't spot the mistake...

Cripes, that was the wrong screenshot.

Err, imagine that Hector was standing on the fort.

 

ACK! IT'S TRAP-MAN! KILL HIM BEFORE HE STARTS SCREAMING ABOUT TRAPS! You have plenty of time, he starts 20 years from now.

He's suffered quite enough; 6 deaths in 15 minutes isn't too pleasant.

Obligatory Etwno2k5 o

I'm so glad that FE7 improved on Merlinus. I'm not a big fan of FE7, but FE7 Merlinus is undeniably superior to FE6. Other than for gorgeous memes like this.

Not really, that's just base anime shipping drivel. I'm still screaming from the PTSD triggers of seeing Merlinus.

I was right anyways by technicality! That's as good as it gets in this LP.

I wasn't following the LP back during Lyn mode days (what can I say, it was Lyn mode), so seeing this, I can only think... How in the world have you managed to make something even more confusing than me? And why in the world is this mofo Serra's henchman? Serra, of all people? Also you need to give me credit, that's MY OC you're stealing sir

What happened in Lyn mode:

Yes%20uncle%20donald.png?dl=0This is My dude, the tactician. He is not a self-insert. If he were, I'd use Gheb's portrait.

I managed to kill Lyn twice. And Florina by all rights should have died.

Serra was bad.

I infringed copyright rules

My dude started dating Florina.

The Glass subplot, but the Roger explains that for me.

This was a new thing entirely.

And don't worry, Serra secretly being St. Elimine won't matter for a looooooooong time.

 

On 5/8/2020 at 12:59 PM, This boi uses Nino said:

Exactly.

*Sniff* Why couldn't they have put her as one of the brigands?! Those sweet, sweet HM bonuses...

Put aside your experiences, Priscilla doesn't exactly have the highest magic ever but she has high movement and that alone makes her good, also even though her magic growth is lower than Serra's, her base is decent.

Six magic at Level 20 is inexcusable if Serra has more than that at level eight.

But I finally have a staffbot! And I'm really REALLY gonna need Raven for this run. He's always been awful, but with HHM bonuses and a few sacrifices to St. Elimine, maybe he'll be alright?

Wait cavaliers only have 7 movement!! How did that cavalier Serra reach with the map you showed? Unless Hector moved onto the fort or something

Yeh, I botched the screenshot. *Ahem*

Cripes, that was the wrong screenshot.

Err, imagine that Hector was standing on the fort.

He can...although there are tricks to preventing them from killing eachother.

Well, I killed Bartre, so Karla is sadly not gonna happen.

Yeah 13x is going to be tricky for you. Here is a random bit of advice, you can rescue Merlinus to where ever you think is the best place to defend him

This was very helpful! It pushed Dorcas to the brink of demise, but we survived!

...still no strength or defense...

Eliwood is being a lot like his ENM counterpart from my first run.

That must have been what happened

Indeed it was.

I mean, 21x is pretty much just a warpskip + rutger chapter, soo... almost is still pretty bad.

I did not have a warp, a skip, or a Rutger! ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY EGO!

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH loses four units in one of the first maps in the game. Rip Serra, she was in the area (of attack) Skill level=Mangs, but without the luck.

Do not insult Mangs like that! He'd never be this bad!

also i'm kinda curious what happened to Cecilia.

Perceval was blocking the bridge so a Nomadic Trooper couldn't come through and kill her and on one of the player phases I randomly moved Perceval around the Nomadic trooper, thus leaving Cecilia trapped. My biggest problems are that I'm impulsive and don't often have overarching plans; I just wing it.

*laughs in good priscilla*

1460678531_fire-emblem-blazing-sword(2).png.4445d71544ce11c32a278a58c72107de.png

Also try to keep her alive for a couple chapters so you don't lose three units in one blow.

I WILL NOT LOSE LUCIUS! OR RAVEN! OR ANOTHER STAFFBOT! I WILL FIND MY GROOVE!

Also, according to my calculations, and assuming you don't go to any gaidens, you have lost 12% of the roster (even more if we count pent and louise, harken and karel, and ninian and nils as one character each) and only 13% of the way through hector mode. Slow down a bit. Or don't, this might get interesting.

I...I'm trying...I've never played Hard mode before...Other than Sacred Stones, and I think we all know that it doesn't count.

I actually wonder if anyone is going to make it until promotion. Hopefully Florina at the very least. And I actually sort of understand what I'm dealing with now; Chapter 13 was me being foolishly overconfident. My issues right now are my lack of Personnel. But after this one, I have only two more until I vaguely ressemble an army! Unless I kill Priscilla. Depending on how tough Talons Alight is, I may not deploy her so she can stay safe longer.

 

7 hours ago, The Roger The Paladin said:

My blind diabetic dog. Oh... wait. That's a Hud. Never mind.

Dang it, The Roger's blind diabetic dog got messed up in my LP! I apologize.

You better damn Wil keep him alive. He's my favourite character in this game for reasons that should be obvious to all but aren't for some reason.

I'm going to try. I don't want Rebecca to be a single parent. I need Wil for the dread isle and my ego. Seriously, I have THREE NON-LORD UNITS! I get four more in chapter 16, (Including Florina! Yay!) and then maybe two more in 17, one in 17x, one in nineteen. I may have an army at some point!

I forgot that speed benchmarks were that low in this game. I mean, sure on Normal. But HHM? Oh well.

I can't keep anyone alive for beans, though.

Oh man...
Definitely. There's even special dialogue. Don't think you can have him unequipped or equipped with a bow either, because then she'll just leave.... again with special dialogue.

Good thing Bartre already died...

I was mostly referring to the luck. But it is entertaining.

Uhh...Thanks! I'll take it as a complement anyways! And this has actually been one of my luckier runs. Sure, Eliwood is horrid and I missed a pivotal 82% chance to hit, but everything else has me being dumb! I'm going to start being more careful soon...

When you turn into Merlinus but with Pengauis instead of traps. I fear the day I inexplicably try and start doing screenshot LPs with units I've not used before.

I fear that day too because you're funnier than me!

I saw him called worse on Gamefaqs but the in my experience Dorcas' bases helps make up for his growths. Whereas Bartre's slightly better growths are dragged down by the bases they have to pull him away from.

Those muttonheads!

Reference to an April Fools video about top 10 "racks" in Fire Emblem or something of the sort the other year. The joke being Gheb was number 1. I died laughing and keep referencing it.

Gheb is the true start of fanservice in the franchise.

The equivalent of Kaga's milk, that guilty pleasure that nobody admits that they like.

Yes.

Yikes. On Eliwood normal I killed two units; Dart as an enemy (because I thought you could kill him in 16x and still recruit him) and Jaffar as a green unit.

I guess that Iron Sword  had a Serrated Blade.

I need a Serraph robe to recover from that pun.

Wow. I never saw this coming after the replies. Also after Pengauis punned her. But you know.

I can't have my fanfic make sense, can I? No, that would be weird.

Well, at least milk wasn't involved. Thankfully Lycians stick to the wholesome sport of invading and burning each other's houses as a gesture of good will.

Purity at its finest. Other than Oswin. Except that Serra's actually saint Elimine, so that means that he's not the overaged one!

Not forgetting the guy in front of him literally talked to guy last chapter and was in Lyn mode back when Dorcas joined. Morgan style cloning most foul.

I think that the other guy is just "generic bandit" the same way the blokes with helmets are generic soldiers and Morgans are generic bosses.

Considering you've got Marcus, Oswin, Bartre, Dorcas, Hector and Eliwood left to protect a sitting duck like Merlinus.

Except that Bartre and Eliwood are sitting ducks too...

@Saint Rubenio crossover confirmed. I mean.. how is this not? Now we just need a Serra recolour with a slightly changed name (Serrah?) to start appearing in the fanfic there... and we're done.

BWAHAA! I HAVE ATTAINED TRUE POWER! I CONTROL ALL THE LPS! AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Makes you wonder what happens in those 20 years. Did he visit 4chan or was it just senility?

I've got a plan... But it may not happen. It depends on if Vaida moves in HHM. (Don't tell me, please. I'd rather lose a unit because I'm not careful enough.)

I once saw a Gamefaqs character guide that ranked Wendy 8/10, I shit you not. Meanwhile Barth was 3/10 and Bors 5/10. I think Dougy got 4/10 (because "pre-promotes bad").

I can tell you now that it was Oswin who rated Wendy that high. He's a true optimist. You'll see what I mean this update.

This is new. Lyn Mode had a sub-plot with Glass, young Brunya, Captain Lawrence, Canas and his wife, and not Elen fighting bandits. Now we find out Serra was apparently St. Elimine to offset the fact she should be dead.

Correct! That is a good explanation.

And now it's even coming up on other LPs.

Does that mean that I'm merely a pawn?!

Inconcievable! I is a legnderry Lats p'leyar!

I see no problems either, Oswin! See, guys? I'm amazing! I have no idea how I have 3 stars in funds considering how I don't have any money at all...Jeez, will I even be able to afford Farina? That would suck if I can't! But oh yeah, I'm awesome!

gAaANSW.png

Well this is just sad.

kifHUHy.png

Hey, it's Rutger! Normally I wouldn't stoop so low as to use a high tier unit, let alone an edgelord, but Rutger would be welcomed right now.

THE MAP:

image.png.38f0047da7518cf754dd9b9fa86285a4.png

Imagine having Matthew be alive. Anyways, we get Priscilla, a troubadour, from the southern village and Erk spawns from the top one on turn 1. He's rerecruitable by Serra OR Priscilla, but his AI is terrible and with my numbers, keeping him alive until he can be recruited is going to be tough. I don't really want to use him anyways, but beggars can't be choosers. And because I'm a chicken, (and I really want to use Nino) I'm making it an LP rule that green units who die before a reset are fair game to use unless I abuse this rule, I.E, letting Erk die because Eliwood's going to die anyways.

Oh, and Marquess Laus wants to marry Priscilla, who is likely fourteen. Darin is more like forty. We should PROBABLY help her out.

Attempt one didn't last very long...

HRXJAvh.pngjrgxRWb.pngmB2eKCv.png

Why did I think Eliwood could survive two rounds of combat?! Bah! Well, I now know that sending Eliwood anywhere without lots of support is a bad idea.

My plan this time around is to send everyone but Marcus up towards Erk; There is a choke point there that Oswin could hold. I will send Marcus down to recruit Priscilla because I don't want the bandits to get there first.

Mutton time!

Marcus, that's a bit overkill to take out his horse too.

AJHbD20.pngmi4mHGg.png

Even though he's taken a beating, I'm not worried about him; I can recruit Priscilla whenever and she'll heal him.

And time to put operation "Don't kill Hector" into action!

This 0 gold sign isn't gonna be a thing for much longer!

I'd like to keep the book for Dorcas, but it won't help him if he doesn't have an axe.

And I buy enough stuff so I can have an axe sent to Merlinus! I stock up on some more weapons, and away we go!

Yes%20uncle%20donald.png?dl=0Has anyone seen Erk? He was in the village a minute ago.

 

 

Aha! By one turn, Marcus beat the brigand to Priscilla's village!

A1geocg.pngmSQz9vu.pngeT6O6gA.pngbO5QHku.png

Does Priscilla even have a smiling portrait? She looks so sad all the time. And I killed the only person who could marry her. And also the one whom she wanted to marry but couldn't because he's sacaen. Blast! Hopefully she smiles in her supports with Raven.

wfVsuhQ.pngxQe4WY4.png

I am no longer understaffed!  (Ahahahaha, im so funy.) I did not realize how much I neeeded a staffbot until Serra left.

KXZfKdb.png

Well, she's better than the Serra I had. I dislike her as a unit because of how absolutely horrendous she was for me in my first run, (Seriously? Six magic at level twenty?!) but she is a mounted healer and the only staffbot I'll have until I promote another spellcaster or I get Pent. And I do think that she's the only mounted healer. I will do whatever it takes to keep her alive, because I need Raven and Lucius.

zoOz3ko.pngIzNtEjd.png

Even though this looks like a bad spot, it kept her out of the range of the nomad who killed Erk, and Marcus won't take that guy out very easily.

5K1g0Gv.png

This is where my brain stopped working. I for some reason thought that Eliwood would fare better if he was not in the range of the Nomad and instead of all of the cavs.

My dear lass, you are wrong. When there is a Marcus, there is a way.

GOghms1.pnggGeSX2i.pngOvIvST0.png

No! Zucc zucc zucc zucc zucc zucc! Not Erik!! He'll probably kill Eliwood!

Dorcas and Eliwood need to get out, but because I goofed up Oswin's positioning, they can't.

oSBBuqW.png

Well, let's start with Hector trying to pull of a miracle. He could kill the other peg knight, but their AI seems to get them to leave even if they could kill. Also, can I just say that I love Hector's animation? It's unique and looks very powerful.

xLiVTPA.png

Even if Erik crits, Oswin will be all right. But I do not like seeing that crit rate.

But we already have Priscilla for your lance! It may still be creepy, but better than Darin.

BnReYaJ.pngIwFmez4.png

THAT'S A CRIT!

It's for nine damage, but still...Jeez...Two enemies have had crit rates in three rounds of combat where they attacked and they've all critted: Guy V. Marcus, (Guy crits) Guy V. Lowen, (We all know about that) and now Erik V Oswin!

Marcus decides that Priscilla's been fondled quite enough and crits the most recent offender. Seriously, why is Priscilla thirsted after by Darin? She's about fourteen! Ugh...

Dorcas has done very well! I'm totally impressed. I hope he survives until I can get to a hero crest.

Speaking of which, Pirates promote with Ocean seals in this game, right?

Wagh!

NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!

The good news is that my plan to save Merlinus succeeded. The bad news is that a different peg rider got him anyways.

Bah! Oh well, I can always deploy him again.

ncj1ELJ.pngcO4vSyC.png

C'mon, guys! One more turn! If we can get the nomad, we're home free!

o1aSj1l.png

No one beats up good Merlinus and lives to get away with it! Maybe all the knocks to the head he took caused him to go all "IT'S A TRAP LORD ROY!"

Hector's a bit low on health, but I'm not worried.

4vFQBua.png

We get rid of Erik and the nomad and we're good. That's all we need to do.

X2eug8E.pngDgk7vQP.pngEXCUxL4.png

Erik will not be giving Priscilla his lance today!

EKtSZOQ.png

Too late, but helpful anyways.

I2ryibE.png

Gah...I'd move Dorcas to the cavalier next to him so that Eliwood can get rid of the nomad, but without a crit, the cav will survive and kill Eliwood, plus the cav has a sword, so Dorcas will probably get hit and die to the nomad...Blast! I've backed myself into a corner!

Dorcas, you've been a lifesaver...One more time, come up clutch!

MGzEgVp.png

NO! GAH! I'M A DUNCE! IF ONLY I'D MOVED OSWIN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!

Dorcas, my friend, it's been a wild ride. Even though that this looks like the end,

You will not be forgotten.

You may not have helped Natalie, but you sure as heck helped us. If only I was better, you would have been fine...Dorcas, you will be the last member of my army to fall. It's not gonna happen again. We will end Nergal without anyone else dying!

Healing and selling.

Remember the design flaw I was talking about? It's this. The pegasus knights go into recovery mode, meaning they will not attack and instead heal. They do not have vulneraries so they all just camp on the fort until their HP is almost full.

In other words, Elbert used provoke on the wrong guy and failed to use his shield.

Woopsie, that's the Berwick Saga Elbert!

Also, something that made me sad is that I don't recall the whole "Marquess pherae supports the rebellion" subplot not actually getting resolved. It's been a while, but I seem to recall not getting disclosure on what happened.

Let's talk with Oswin!

Well, that does it for this chapter. I feel like I'm starting to get a bit better; I mean, I was doing well for most of it; my start to this run was so bad...We need the Caelin squad to be good. One more map until we get five more units! All that stands between us is a defense chapter I've never done before!

Six magic at Level 20 is inexcusable if Serra has more than that at level eight.

6 magic is her base, at level 20/- she has 12 magic, which is just enough for a mend to have anyone out of danger and when doubling with a thunder or even fire you will one round. Promotion gives +2, which is decent.

Serra doesn't surpass that until level 11, after 100 Heals or 99 Mends, she will surpass Priscilla at base. If you're using Priscilla alongside Serra then I'll assume they're the same level because early join time and whatnot.

At level 20/16, Serra ties Priscilla and at level 20/20 Serra has 22 Magic, while Priscilla has 22.4 which is like an extra chance for 23 I guess. Serra NEVER outgrows Priscilla and only ties her after you've reached the end of the game. Not to mention that Priscilla has a mount, uses EPIC ANIMA MAGIC over stinky light shit. If you want two healers, early promote Erk/Lucius or Canas and you'll be surprised by how useful they will be.

Serra wins out again'st Priscilla's speed but only because she joins at a lower level and actually gets a promotion bonus, their base speed is 8 and growth 40% (you're welcome btw, I gave you their growths)

Blehh...I liked your previous one better. But hey, more speed=more doubling=less for Eliwood to kill himself on.

Every point of speed is like 2 more chapters he is an unstoppable beast for, normally he starts being less impressive after chapter 22 or so, still being able to kill unpromoted enemies but some will avoid being doubled, this point of speed, ranks him above like 25 more enemies in Elibe.

AGH I've been reminded of Serra's healing.... okokokokok but think... ok Dorcas is cool! it sucks when he gets hit and Serra can't top him off... drat I can't distract myself from thinking about her!!.... well sorry bud but I remembered Serra, you will now not be forgiven for bringing her up next time I hear about her.

If you're wondering, SoHaE is a japanese romhack. Bit of a fanfic of FE6, with Lyn's daughter as the protagonist. I can't read the story, but it features people like Lyn (obviously), Dayan, Renault, Kent and even Roy himself at one point. Dorcas (and his daughter) and Guy show up as playable characters, too.

It all depended on whether Hector took out an archer on turn one and Eliwood not being doubled by the Myrmidon. After that it was more straightforward. As such, I'll just leave the 13x update as a montage of the thing that every FE6 player wanted: Merlinus deaths!

I was hoping for a little more, but oh well. Funny you mention the Myrmidon doubling, as that was always one of the big turning points of what strategy I would take on this map, as if he was doubled I would abandon the north entirely, carrying Merlinus with us to the south.

Good Luck, Talons Alight will be tricky with so few units. I hope Priscilla lives through that, as someone that once limped all the way to chapter 19 with my last healer dead on this chapter (and like you will, missing the first Guiding Ring) it is a real struggle, and with this being a soft ironman you would have to limp all the way to 20 before its even possible to use staves again (assuming you can recruit Legault). While I doubt this is a good idea, I will note that if you do manage to kill the boss you both stop reinforcement, and get a dracoshield.

It's Benice's side story, after Glass got mocked for being "So great" and having like 4 skill lol. So then Glass meets Helen and they travel together under the pretext of fighting bandits, Helen learns that Glass was a bandit but Glass seeks redemption and Helen helps him do that. They end up recruiting several characters like former General Lawrence of Etruria (I think this is an OC), Brunnya, Canas and her wife, etc. At the end of Lyn mode, Benice made a map involving these characters where they liberate a town from bandits. And afterwards Glass marries Helen, and I think you know the rest by this point.

Poor Merlinus...He hadn't done anything wrong. Not yet.

Well, Ruben got his wish. Six times over.

This is My dude, the tactician. He is not a self-insert. If he were, I'd use Gheb's portrait.

I managed to kill Lyn twice. And Florina by all rights should have died.

Serra was bad.

I infringed copyright rules

My dude started dating Florina.

And Sain hit on a toaster.

Dang it, The Roger's blind diabetic dog got messed up in my LP! I apologize.

No he's fine. Despite being blind and diabetic, he's pretty damn solid.

I fear that day too because you're funnier than me!

I'll take the compliment, but I know the moment I'm the centre of focus I'm going to screw things up massively. Call it nerves. Or the desire to push for units I haven't used before.

18 hours ago, Benice said:

Yikes. On Eliwood normal I killed two units; Dart as an enemy (because I thought you could kill him in 16x and still recruit him) and Jaffar as a green unit.

Ah. Dart I can see. Also Jaffar can kind of easily get screwed if you're not careful. More so on higher difficulties.

Except that Serra's actually saint Elimine, so that means that he's not the overaged one!

What a twist.

Buffoon?

Eliwood is not impressed with Hector leaving.

You know someone's bad when Hector can't stand them for being a brash buffoon when that's the exact way people see Hector. Probably helped him grow up a bit actually.

Erik, those are two completely unrelated topics.

"So, what are your ultra top-secret plans?"

"Secret...Plans?"

"I've always despised you, Eliwood."

You know, Eliwood's unnecessary questions literally make this moron spill the beans on his trap. Maybe Eliwood developed them as a method of drawing out hostility into the open? Who needs Merlinus to point out traps when the traps expose themselves? Actually when I think about it, that's possibly why Merlinus sees traps everywhere. He watched Eliwood do this so often he thought he could copy him, but had none of the finesse of provocation. So he just starts screaming about traps.

Ha! Well played, Hector!

Interesting that was one of the smartest things he could have done there. Forces them to both focus on them and the possibility of an incoming attack from Ostia, as opposed to focusing on one or the other.

I see no problems either, Oswin! See, guys? I'm amazing! I have no idea how I have 3 stars in funds considering how I don't have any money at all...Jeez, will I even be able to afford Farina? That would suck if I can't! But oh yeah, I'm awesome!

It counts the value of items in the inventory.

Good thing I kept Hector back to protect Merlinus! In retrospect, he would have been helpful for rescuing Erk, but meh. And the wolf beil is practically broken. I hope we get a second one... I know that there's usually multiple Prf weapons for the main lord.

There is, but from memory it was in the cave where you  get Armads..

Hector also got this.  Is he supposed to be almost as fast as Lyn?

Man, my last Hector was molasses until he promoted. Then again, my last Eliwood kept levelling defense until he was tanky as Hector.

Another thing people like (ok I like) about Hector. He has some great animations.

Darin and Erik are literally the FE7 knock-off of Slaver. Kidnapping young girls. It's just, you know, they don't use milk and there's two of them.

Dorcas has done very well! I'm totally impressed. I hope he survives until I can get to a hero crest.

Speaking of which, Pirates promote with Ocean seals in this game, right?

Yes. Not that you'll need many, what with Dart being the only one.

You may not have helped Natalie, but you sure as heck helped us. If only I was better, you would have been fine...Dorcas, you will be the last member of my army to fall. It's not gonna happen again. We will end Nergal without anyone else dying!

Well, R.I.P. Natalie's husband, and medicine.

In other words, Elbert used provoke

I just realized how poetic my joke about Eliwood deliberately baiting out hostility into the open by provoking people with inane questions was. Damn it Berwick. Now the joke is layered.

What's up with the Merlinus hate btw?

In Binding Blade Merlinus is in a state where everything's a potential trap. Handy for surviving. Horrible for conversation. But alas due to perma-death, you have to put up with it all game. Hence running gag.

I actually seem to remember that you don't ever get another wolf beil.

Not in Eliwood's story. Having checked, I'm right. It is in the chapter where you get Armads... catch being that's Chapter 30. But there's two of them. One in a chest and one dropped by a fighter.

Has even a single one of your units died for real at this point? You're making everyone either survive for some contrived reason, or turn out to be a literal goddess. Meanwhile, I made a plot point of utterly ruining Jerrot's life in every possible way.

...Well, come to think about it, I did spare his wife's life. If I had let her die, I couldn't have justified him not commit suicide...

Matthew, Dorcas, Lowen, sort of Guy if you count him. I mean, Bartre survives by the game so not his fault. Rebecca... well she should have been like Bartre. So Serra and Erk are the exceptions by the look of it. Unless Erk dies for real later like certain units in Binding Blade who survived for plot reasons.

You sort of can. You quote, highlight the quote, copy it, start editting, and paste it into the other. No idea if it works normally in alerting them though. Watch. I'll do it with Pengauis.
