should I play Birthright if I'm finding Conquest a nice level of challenge or will it be boring and easy

It depends on if you want to play another fire emblem game. The maps generally aren't as good as conquest and enemies don't have skills so that whole aspect in conquest is missing. But I still liked it and making a powerful army is always fun to me. If I could go back I would have done birthright first though

The enemy skills were annoying when it's stuff like automatic counters that one hit your dudes before you think to check. But as a gamer I crave that kind of senseless abuse.

Elise is a insane magic user yeah. I swapped her to the horse magician at like 16 or 17 and she was hitting for 2 times more damage than other mages they gave you in conquest

iirc you can't actually play lunatic on causal? it's a shame, since it seems like it'd be a cool different playstyle to try.

Villager is kinda bad in this game because they changed how underdog worked and she's also the best archer you can get in conquest. I swapped her pretty quick in conquest but didn't even use her in birthright because you get better bow and spear users

im good enough at the games but i havent really taken the time to learn the mechanics deeply, but i remember i na awakening it was best to leave donnell, donny, errr, the guy with the pan on his head, as a villager for a while.

In Training
Jun 28, 2008

yeah because in awakening when you reclassed people's levels reset but their stats didn't, so villager with underdog meant they could get crazy stats and still get bonuses for being "under leveled" compared to enemies. They fixed this in fates and levels don't reset anymore so it's kind of a useless skill compared to just turning mozu into a better class

Got so into my tactics playing this game that I literally walked into a light pole playing my 3DS. May have broke my glasses, but If that's not the mark of a cucking awesome handheld game i dunno what is.

im struggling with this level. i can beat it easily enough but not without losing people. i think today ill try only taking a smaller army without weak people in it cos i have a couple of units that barely take any damage from anything on the level.

btw, regarding the dlc, since europe doesnt have much of it yet, are the map packs worth the money? i cant get enough fire emblem , but if its just stuff like xp and money grinding then i dont want it

it's the opposite for me, i always pair up because not getting your guys double-attacked is a big deal. at least on conquest hard

im on conquest hard as well and most of my units are generally too fast for that. i only have one heavy and slow unit and thats effie and she has wary fighter. xander is my other strong defense guy, and hes ridiculous in every stat

the cool ones give you unique classes and item rewards but the few ive bought/played havent been great, but if you want 30+ more maps for another 20 bucks go for it. idk what it costs in euros though
