You do need him to be at level seven for a gaiden chapter later I think. Just heal abuse him up if you care about it.

Not enough staves in Lyn mode. I don't think you can buy them until you hit the main game proper, and the one you get with Serra is only good for 330 experience.

E: Didn't see he started at L5. He's good then.

Whoops.

Edit: Some comical save futzing around later, I've gotten back to the regular game with no Awful Emblem in sight. Phew. New friends! I've got Eliwood the jesus christ, this guy is my Lord?:



Rebecca the Myrm who's Somewhat Worse than Sain:



Lowen the... Archer:



And Marcus the :stare: holy loving poo poo:



Edit 2: Return of Dorcas! And I've got a new guy, Bartre the Monk who's... better than Eliwood in every way.

Fun fact we discovered when I was putting monks on a map, their base stats are godawful. In fact, luck aside, you're looking at 'em. That is how bad every monk is before they get leveled up and get their faction bonuses. I could put a monk with Divine on the map, and it would get demolished by a shaman of roughly equal level.

Definitely do, because otherwise you will encounter bugs like negative stats and missing animations. Oh, and half your army might be extremely poo poo. Of course, if you want more of a challenge go for it.

Lords are poo poo because they have no personal stat modifiers, their stats are entirely from their class (which only they are supposed to be, so you'd never know unless something like this happens). So you're seeing merc bases there. It also accounts for why your Matthew is so good, it's a thief's personal modifiers and growths on Hector.

Also yeah, that's a pretty baller Oswin.

The best part about Oswin is that, given that he was apparently a Knight originally, he has an invisible rank in Lances such that I have a melee-capable healer. :getin:

Well, I got Lyn's group finally. Guess what? They all suck, and two of them are nomads :suicide: For those not counting, I now have five archers. The archer only run is real. Also, Lyn is a hector except she's so much worse than Mathhew it's not even funny.

I'm on the third map and already have 4. Hector and Eliwood are nomads, and Rebecca and Guy are archers. At this rate I may as well hope for Lyn to be an archer for the all bow lord run! :suicide:

Oh well, at least I have brigand Serra.

On another note, I started with Hector mode on the FE7 randomizer, and the first thing that happened was Matthew killing himself on a wall with his Devil Axe.

e: Hector mode with a myrmidon lord and no vulneries is too much for me.

Speaking of Hector's sprites, I got Hector as a cavalier, and he has a cavalier sprite in battle when wielding lances. There's no animation at all for when he's wielding axes.



If I have him wield swords on the other hand...



He's a secret assassin! :black101:

That's because he's a female cavalier! Another thing we stumbled into during AE development, the female cav sprites are in the game (even though there is no female cavalier - Isadora starts as a paladin), but they don't have an animation for swords, only lances. Which causes them to grab the assassin sprites instead because reasons...?

Assassin is closer in the game's sprite directory to Female Cavaliers, thus the game goes for the closest option? :shrug:

Some more updates on Fire Emblem IV's progress, showcasing the one thing I've been itching to show off: the Valkyrie staff. In the original game, it acts as a free revive for 50K a pop, which I don't find that interesting since most players will try to keep everyone alive. Instead, in this version, it unlocks doors*! Watch the video to see it in action.

The video also showcases the start of the first chapter of the Agusty storyline, the battle between Heirhein and Nodion. Before, Nodion only had 3 units to defend themselves, and the player started at Evans, which meant a lot of time wasted just moving pieces into place. Now the chapter starts right in the action, and Nodion has a bit more manpower. Although, if you're aware of what is supposed to happen, you don't need to keep everyone from Nodion alive, just the three named characters from the original. I don't think it's actually possible to save all the Nodion soldiers, anyway :v:

There's also some new graphics added in if you can spot them. The new spell animations are blatantly shown, though.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I know it's probably impossible to implement, but it would be kind of funny if the Valkyrie staff summoned "einherjar" in the form of the soldiers you'd lost, and used them as an attack. Have the staff do damage equal to the combined strength/magic ratings of all your dead teammates. If no one's dead, it does nothing, but if everyone's dead it's the single highest damage attack in the game by a country mile. Would torment the typical player who needs to keep everyone alive, but would give you consolation for continuing to play after a death.

"I think you really should be in the ocean..."

That's a really cool idea, but it'd probably have the same problem as the vanilla Valkyrie staff, where most players would never use it because they'd reset on death.

Deploying Merlinus is the only way you can send stuff to your storage. Or get stuff from it. Also he levels up for every map you deploy him on and when he hits 20 he promotes and gets to move.
