Not nation-level, at least. The tribes of northeast Archanea and Furia Harbor, but then we have no word that they weren't absorbed into Archanea in the thousand years before Grima's rampage.

Trails into Reverie: A Look on the Bright Side was a good Daydream, but I can't talk about it without spoiling what happened six games ago...

Spoiler

Though Renne was adopted into the Bright family a few games back, it's nice that her relationship with Cassius finally got to be explored. Seeing Cassius be a goofy dad again was also a treat, since he was all business during the previous game.

Also, he really wants grandkids.

Besides that, Reverie has finally remembered that gold sealing stones exist. Fortunately, the game was nice enough to give me the postgame character first. Technically speaking, talking about them would also be a spoiler.

In particular, the reason for allowing all characters to be recruited during one playthrough is because the director doesn't like mutually-exclusive characters.

The director has good taste.

Byleth becomes archbishop of the church in Azure Moon, though I'm not sure if that counts as a separate government...

Genealogy only if you have the characters killed off. That's the only way Seliph inherits their realms.

That said, Thraccia ends with the unification of Northern Traccia, so while not the entire continent, it still counts to a degree.

I still think that Jesse calling it a Kingdom is only for the kicks and it's not actually a Westphalian government, so Valentia is still under just one banner.

As I mentioned, Genealogy can end with the continent reunited but only if you let the characters set to inherit anything die. Thraccia plays it straight, but on a smaller scale.

Binding Blade mentions in its ending that Elibe would unite... but way later. So it still counts, technically. We just never get to see it.

You know, the most unrealistic part about Fire Emblem (medieval fiction as a whole tbh) is how small the noble families are. You get introduced to a kingdom and it's like "here is the sole heir, if he/she dies, the kingdom is dead".

It does say "Under One Flag", which sounds more like actual unification than a EU style organization.

Likely to avoid character clutter, perhaps. Although I could excuse it for places like Jugdral, where you have individuals augmented by powerful beings, so they might be deliberately keeping their families small.

Still, usually we have more cases that when the heir dies, or is driven out, it's because the country is effectively conquered or couped, so it matters little if there's any other family member. Like Desaix taking over Zofia (though granted, he did went great lengths to kill off Lima IV's entire family, or at least all his children), and then the people wanting Alm as King, rather than declaring Zofia a dead kingdom.

Re-Boot: An Auld Favourite.

Spoiler

This I remember as one of my favorite missions in Black Hole Rising, a good blending of gameplay and narrative feel. Not the hardest mission, but I’m not a stickler for difficulty.

Well this is a twist on Lash that comes out of nowhere. A crunch-loving boss she be.🙁 She really isn’t in a good mood this time around, no cheeriness in sight.

17 days and counting, let’s begin.

The goal of this operation is simple- destroy the nine Black Hole Battleships before 17 Days have passed. The Battleships trapped within the square of bridges are emptied of ammo and Lash doesn’t have an APC to replenish them.

Capture the port right where you begin. Then build a Lander to ship a footie off to the unoccupied western island where in southern city the map to the final secret Lab is located. Lash will ignore the transport and the sea is devoid of enemies. Afterwards, churn out Battleships when funds permit to assist in destroying the enemy Battleships.

For you land army, head east, eliminate Lash’s defense force, keeping the Anti-Airs alive to deal with some B Copters and Bombers later. Keep the two Artillery and Rocket alive too, since light Tanks only scratch Battleships (as in 1%) and Medium Tanks don't do much either (like 25%). (Lash will Join some of the badly injured Battleships, saving you a few actions.) Take the neutral properties in the lower right with you other three foot soldiers, and maybe the northern base or at least sit on it so Lash can’t deploy from it.

Jess!😄 I’ve been waiting to see what they did with you. IDK why, but I like her. Her theme is snazzy too, the remix is soft techno(?) and still good on the ears.

In AW1, you had Eagle prince of the skies, Drake captain of the seas; Jess completes this trinity as a land combat specialist. She is also a CO of Green Earth who dresses prominently in green, that was lacking before.

Jess’s bonus is a mere 10 Firepower to vehicular -meaning non-Infantry/Mech- ground units, with an equal penalty to every other unit. The decrease in Infantry/Mech Firepower is why some used to think her a weak CO in AW2, but then Dual Strike would remove the penalty on foot soldiers as her one little improvement. 

The day-to-day ain’t bad, vehicular land units comprise the majority of your fighting forces on many maps. Her CO Powers give vehicular Firepower and Movement, and fuel & refills for everyone (which actually helps airborne and maritime units more than terrestrial ones), not bad at all.

Visually, Jess has come out… not perfect with her Re-Boot redesign. She looks like a punk rocker. Her design isn’t quite as man-ish or coldly sharp as it was in AW2.:

The result is that I'm reinterpreting her statements as still cooly logical, but without harshness.

Re-Boot’s update is better than her Dual Strike redesign…

…which made her too feminine and soft I would say, and I don’t think her personality had any sharpness there. (Right is her unlockable casual attire, everyone has one in DS.)

I think her Re-Boot problem ultimately stems from Jess being one of the least cartoony designs around. -But I do appreciate that WayForward has brought back the giant pencil artillery shell and briefcase jerry can.

Poor sentient robot laborers where do the BH human COs come from?. This is strange. How in all of her Blue Moon invading did we not see this side of her? Is this because we were only shown the times she was commanding an army, not the maintenance crews?

I decide to Turbo Charge for an immediate boost with those enemies before me.

Progress.

Annnnd this when I gave up.😅 Six days left, most of my land units lost with the Lash’s air force more a threat than I thought it’d be. Where did I mess up? Was it the Cruisers intended to protect the Battleships?

I hit “Yield” in the options.

There is unique loss dialogue for every mission, I hadn’t witnessed any of it so far. Sometimes the advice given is useful, other times, as in this, not so much. Joining wouldn’t have made a real difference.

Let’s TRY AGAIN!

Okaaaay, baiting with the APC was a bad idea.😅 -Time to quit the game before my next turn and hit “Reset Turn” now that I'm back at the end of my turn, it’s only the first turn after all, I wouldn't call it cheating. 

A series of screenshots showing my progress on this map.:

WAAAAAAY BETTER!😁 IDK how.😆 Everything more or less came out alive. I also skip on the Cruisers in favor of more Battleships and Anti-Airs from the southern base.

The first salvos on the Battleships and the dismantling of the closer Mini Cannon blocking the way for my ground troops.

How heavy is an artillery shell?🤔

Victory!😊 With four days left on the clock.

I like Jess’s attitude. As with Eagle’s first fight, this was a raid. I like the parallelism, as indicates these two Green Earth coworkers & rivals are competitive in the same tasks.

Sorry Lash, your anger will go unquenched. This is her last battlefield encounter in Black Hole Rising.

Perhaps this mood swing is owing to Lash’s fall? By the Green Earth campaign, she has lost Blue Moon, maybe she isn't held in as high regard now. Things haven’t exactly gone her way in quite a while, and now she’s stuck in a supportive role. No idea if it’s this or merely that she was always like this and we just never saw it before. -And let's not forget she is a villain, as expressive as she is, as joining-the-good-guys as she does in Dual Strike, here, she isn't supposed to be sympathetic.

As I said before, I like this mission.🙂 The time limit puts some pressure on the player, and I like the idea of a hit & run operation. Jess contributes to the fun of it too.

Ah, destroying fleets while they're resupplying/repairing. Recently there was that case where Ukraine managed to destroy a Russian ship and even a submarine while in dry-dock.

And now I'm also reminded of Ace Combat missions that are about the same.

Right but usually in these stories, they rally around the surviving heir. I don't know if anything like that ever happened in real life, despite the importance of bloodlines back then, nobody ever seemed interested in actually snuffing them out after a war or revolution or some shit. Even King Louis the 16th and Marie Antionnete had surviving heirs, it's just that those heirs were no longer heirs.

In the case of Zofia, it's because the general population thought the royal bloodline had died completely so they wanted the next best thing.

Indeed. Cadet branches were commonplace IRL for Europe. And the end of dynasty as in a direct unbroken line of fathers, sons, and brothers, meant a cadet branch took over.

-Unless of course, marriages, genealogy, and politics aligned such that a foreign monarch could press their claim to a throne. The Hundred Years' War and the War of the Spanish Succession come to mind. In the latter case, French Bourbons (Henry IV, Louis XIII-XVIII, Charles X) won, but had to agree that the French and Spanish thrones could never be united under one person. That was actually a serious compromise, as Louis XIV was very old at this time and his heir his great grandson Louis XV was only an infant. And thankfully for everyone not France and Spain, the Bourbons failed to bring Louis XIV absolutist greatness to the declining Spanish Empire. The first Spanish Bourbon (still the ruling dynasty in modern Spain), Philip V, was afflicted with such great melancholy relatable he actually abdicated the throne to his adult son ...until he died a few months later and his next son was still young so he returned to the burdens of kingship.

Spain is also an interesting case, in that since it allowed female rule, Queen Joanna "the Mad" married a Habsburg, and their son became by election Holy Roman Emperor Charles V/Charles I of Spain. This being a peaceful example of a foreign dynasty taking over. Which is how the Habsburgs got elected to the Bohemian kingship b/c they married the sister of the last king of the prior dynasty.

There was the case three "False Dimitris" in Russia. The last son of Ivan IV "the Terrible", whose death before he could inherit the throne was popularly thought to be an assassination (evidence is uncertain). Russia then fell into the chaotic Time of Troubles, and people took a liking to believing Dimitri was still alive -the first False Dimitri even secured the Russian throne for a few months.

Not an imposter? The Jacobite (Jacob = James in Hebrew) situation in the United Kingdom to a limited degree. After the Glorious Revolution of 1688, the exiled James II, his son James the Old Pretender and grandson Charles the Young Pretender all tried to claim the British throne back from James's daughters and then the Hanoverians. Their support in the UK was limited, but it remained feared until the later half of the 1700s.

...Earlier, the Stuarts were executed and exiled with the English Civil War. Then Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector of Britain and Ireland, but he was a no-fun despot, so nobody opposed overthrowing his son right away after he died, and installing a more traditional monarch- Charles II, son of the beheaded Charles I. Charles II's reign was the Stuart Restoration following the so-called Interregnum, he was known as "the Merry Monarch" due to his love of having fun (dogs, theatre, fashion, common prostitutes). But, tension remained between the Crown and Parliament, which would bubble over when his brother James II took the throne. So it was less "we miss the Stuarts" during Cromwell's reign, and more "we'd prefer a monarchy rooted in centuries of custom instead of some newly-fabricated excuse".

Correction- Louis XVIII, brother of Louis XVI took the throne after Napoleon (Louis XVII is ceremonially used for Louis XVI's son, who died imprisoned). Then his younger brother Charles X took the throne. Then politics saw him kicked out and the Bourbon cadet branch of Orleans in the form of Louis Philippe became the "July Monarch", whose reign began popular, ended unpopular (Le Miserables is set during his reign). Then it was the short-lived Second Republic usurped by Napoleon III (Napoleon II is ceremonially used for Napoleon I's son), then Third Republic partly b/c the Bourbon or Orleans families couldn't come to an agreement to receive the throne again.

I'd say it's more because it keeps things simple. It makes a particular character(s) extra special. And it suits a black & white narrative more. Which are honestly fine justifications.

The other example that comes to mind for me is the end of one mission in Battalion Wars II. The Solar Empire is recharging their heavy tanks, you the Iron Legion have to smash all the tanks and solar panels (and it looks kinda cool seeing tanks clustered by clean energy generators) as quickly as possible. The slower you go, the more of them will be shooting back at you.

And watching the above vid ...not sure if I could get into Ace Combat.😅 The motion might mess with my eyes too much. I played Star Fox 64 and Assault as a kid, these though could be different or I'm different now.

There was also the case of a dead Tsar thought to be alive- Peter III, the man who succeed Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter the Great. He unfortunately lived at what could be consider the end of the Russian "Era of Palace Revolutions", and was murdered by the military with the consent of his wife, who became Catherine II "the Great".

There were several False Peters, one of them, Yemelyan Pugachev, launched a titular rebellion that lasted two years. Pugachev's Rebellion was fairly large and caught the Russian state off guard, not helping was the sheer size of Russia so an effective response didn't happen right away. Cathy G kept her throne, but the rebellion did shake her and affect her political views.

That's quite understandable, with some IRL examples for sure. Maybe not dynastic replacement, b/c a lot of monarchies simply wouldn't have rules/traditions that would seriously allow the chancellor to seize the throne, but certainly exerting great influence on -some would say puppeting- the king. When you're so close to the Sun, that kind of power can corrupt. You might even forget that you are not the Sun, and that the Sun might royally have you scorched.

I'm also reminded of the Japan during the Heian period. Women of the Fujiwara noble clan (NOT samurai! Nobility in Japan was a separate thing.) through the 800s until 1068 gave birth to every single Emperor. That allowed the Fujiwara menfolk to dominate the highest political offices.

57 minutes ago, Armagon said:

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

Not a problem!😀

We in America just tend to forget what happened to France immediately after the zany times of the Revolution and Napoleon. The 16-year Bourbon Restoration wasn't a particularly remarkable time for France, at least politically. The 1800s as a century, regardless of the periodic changes in government, was still loaded with French science, culture, industrialism, and by the end of the century French global colonialism.
