Satellaview is the best view.

Anyway, I really like that guest-unit choice. I think it helps future plays, because what's the first thing you do? Give different answers in the tutorial for the hell of it.

I'd just like to point out that Cord chopping trees for the hell of it was much more effective than Luke's super secret training(tm). It's strangely amusing to me since it fits with the characterization they gave Luke with the prequel chapters.

Poor Luke. I suppose at least the game won't kick him so much now that we're out of the prologue.

I suppose if you're going to go for a gimmick, it's a lot easier to plan out a possible single death by ambush than it is to, say, bury people in a ton of dudes and watch them try to dig themselves out.

Also this does kind of interlock with the thing we've been doing where we kill all the assassin commanders. Hard to sustain personnel in the face of that. Eremiah seems like she's headed for barking orders to an empty room.
