Bongo Bill posted:They should make all the levels really complicated again. I want to have to worry about getting a certain character to a certain village before the enemy burns it down, so that I can open up a sidequest in which another character can be recruited from the enemy team, and if that character reaches some support rank with some other character, you get a bonus plot scene in the third-to-last chapter. poo poo like that. All over the place. Hmm that sounds cool but how about instead of that the levels are all flat plains with only 2 basic objectives and every enemy on the map swarms you at once???

But at least the house he's in is a red house which are the designated "poo poo you want is in here" ones so if you do manage to get the obtuse and annoying as gently caress requirement to unlock the mission you'll at least be able to get him ok.

Also its late but the chances of the support unit attacking increase with their support level and their combined Skill stats. The support unit can attack if the main unit can attack, overriding their weapons range.

In my current game I lined everything up so that morgan would have highest possible Str. But I forgot that he is a tiny boy. So now I have a very small berserker wiping every map clean

And everyone else, Mages can't take damage for poo poo and in a 1v1 battle unless an archer has insanely low resistance it can beat out a Mage.

In general mages get hosed pretty hard by Flying Units due to being the physical class with the highest magic resistance. Archer is a good in between for like handling long range combat, one that an extreme like Mage can't cover and they usually get super nice crit boosts and accuracy too especially if you turn them to a sniper. Every class has its benefits and flaws such is the way of Fire Emblem. unless you are hector in which case you are literally a god Doctor Goat posted:wind spells are just as good against fliers wind spells make it so mages can do their normal damage against flying units, they are still outclassed by them unlike archers who get a huge boost in damage against them

Wyverns don't have high RES. It's pegasi that are mage-killers.

flyers are so situational a thing to specifically guard against. pegasi can be handled by just about anyone due to being made of wet paper and wyverns are better handled by mages due to not having resistance worth a drat. and its not like the good archers can take damage for poo poo either, both mages and the archers that can actually do things survive based on dodging

a hand axe that doesn't break and has an extremely high chance to crit and also let your buddy Worldfucker the Deathtrain do a support attack with one of the legendary weapons

darealkooky posted:why would I use an archer and risk getting counter attacked and killed when I could just throw a loving hand axe at them and kill them Handaxe, at D rank has 3 attack power, 70 hit, 25 uses and does normal damage to fliers. The Iron Bow, at D rank has 6 power, 85 hit, 45 uses and does triple damage to fliers. Bows are good if you realize that they're a utility weapon not something to base your army around.

Bongo Bill posted:I liked the way supports worked in Path of Radiance, but I'd have liked it even better if there were no limits on supports like in Awakening. They both work well for the game they're in. If you had PoR style gaining supports by how many missions they were together in with unlimited (save S rank) supports like in Awakening then you'd have your hold army A ranking eachother all at once and that'd be OP as poo poo. FE14 totally needs to have boss enemies that use pair-ups.
