I always do a bit better with Eliwood when I focus on lances over swords. I don't think you need an S Rank to wield his ultimate weapon, anyway.

Silver Falcon posted:You know, why is it that you get two sword lords in this game and one who uses axes? It's a bit redundant. Wouldn't it make more sense if either Lynn or Eliwood used a different weapon? Sacae is all about the bows, so Lynn could use bows (and even gains them on promotion)! Or Eliwood is basically a Paladin without a horse anyway so have him use lances, maybe?

A legit defend the castle walls map could be interesting, but you'd probably have to rework ballista stats. Have a wall lined with reworked ballista, magic circles (basically magic ballista), rocks to drop on the enemies, have them come at you with ladders (your melee units have to chop them up to stop enemies from coming up) and try to ram the gates. You'd probably have to get creative with the scripting though.

For the record, Marcus, Kent and Sain have almost double her Con. Lowen does have double. It basically kills her one advantage over Marcus, her 16 speed.

The Isadora situation makes me wary of using Con as a balancing factor between characters of the same class. If there were less variation - like, 1 point off the baseline either way - or just standardized per class instead of per character I'd probably be more on board. Also, make it more interesting than "women always have less Con than men". Not to mention the situation with mounted rescues.

pichupal posted:If I remember correctly, non-mounted units have an Aid of Con - 1, Male Mounted Units have an Aid of 25 - Con, and Female Mounted Units have 20 - Con? It's been a while since I was invested in FE7. So male mounted units get 5 extra Aid compared to females, which is why Isadora's low Con lets her rescue things.

Manatee Cannon posted:That just makes the brave sword even better by comparison in exchange for making the other ones worse. Two hits is better than a slightly better single hit, and Vantage on a weapon is interesting but still not comparable to the sheer damage brave weapons do right now. Regardless, the effects don't really matter, they were examples.

Manatee Cannon posted:Except the axe wouldn't pull ahead unless it is capable of dealing more damage in a single hit than the sword can in two. The difference is even greater if you're fast enough to double because a brave weapon would be hitting four times compared to the axe's two. It's a strict downgrade. Sorites posted:Yeah, the underlying combat system isn't really deep enough to accommodate too much mechanical variety. You can't elect not to attack Sorites posted:damage is high enough that a player-controlled character really should be two-hit-killing most enemies by midgame. So there's not much room for complexity.

It's been like 10 years since I played Hector Hard Mode so I had no idea he was on a timer. You were right about the items you got from the reinforcements. You got Shine (900), Elfire (1,200), Nosferatu (3,200!) and Recover (2,250) for a total of 7,550. If you'd opened up the door before he left you'd have gotten a Silver Sword (1,500), Silver Lance (1,200), Silver Axe (1,000) and Silver Bow (1,600) for a total of 5,300. Looks like you got the better deal! Re: Archer talk, I don't think they need to be able to counterattack at melee range to be useful. As long as they have a unique niche no one else can perform they'll be fine. In these games their only use is attacking at range 3 but that'll only last them through the midgame because the Longbow's stats just won't be able to keep up. Pegasus units are so frail bows are usually unnecessary and Wyverns are typically easier to kill with mages of any stripe. (And that's ignoring competition from other Bow Units like Rath, because the Longbow isn't exclusive to archers/snipers).

Mzbundifund posted:I don't think the maps are really designed around having that kind of range on a common enemy unit. Advance wars balances it by not allowing long-range units to move and fire on the same turn, in this game it would be like giving every archer a 30+ use mini Bolting. You could never field a healer again, especially not a slow one like Serra.

As it is your Sain is probably going to hit the Strength Cap on Paladin, but probably not any of his other stats. If you want a few more points in your defenses or Speed maybe hold off and give Florina the Energy Ring, but I'd probably go with the Knight Crest*. *Assuming I had efficiency in mind. As me though, nope, he's getting to 20 before he gets his Knight Crest, and he'll like it.

Eliwood starts with a D in lances. Same for the other two and their respective weapons. Edit: D means you start with Javelins and Heavy Spear, which isn't bad. Nihilarian fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Mar 13, 2015 |

Wouldn't that be neat? Heck, it even fits with his attack animation, as you could easily make a spear attack for him without changing it really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJgWXEEnxzQ

I'm pretty sure I've always had exactly one paladin (depending on which one turns out the best) on my end game team, ever since I was a kid. They are never my best unit on the field but they'll always be the most versatile. They're usually the first unit I send to deal with something unexpected - relatively balanced stats, high mobility, and versatile equipment leave them well equipped to handle almost anything so that my more specialized units can keep doing what they do. So they're a good class, they just aren't the bruisers that other units can be.

As said before, the hopeful tone of the end of this arc is completely intentional irony. The half of the audience that got FE6 already know how Queen Hellene's change of heart turns out - she fails to get through to the king and is probably killed at some point, the king's abusive relationship with his son continues for years, and after a nearly successful assassination attempt right when he thought his father had finally accepted him, Zephiel snaps and decides to kill him first. With Jaffar, all Zephiel knows is that some "villain" knocked him unconscious, and he woke up, confused, to the sounds of fighting and was forced to defend himself. The only iffy part is why Hellene and Murdock never told him the identities of his saviors, and honestly that doesn't spoil the plot anyway. They may have saved him from the Black Fang but they didn't save him from his father. Calling it an "alternate universe fanfic" really misses the point of the arc. Also, I'd go for Advance Wars.

Dorcas' low speed may make sense, but that doesn't mean he should be noncompetitive. If anything it means that speed shouldn't be such an important stat - so you can have competitive slow characters.
