I dislike the normal FE promotion system so the one in this seems like a straight upgrade to me.

Slightly more enemies or different types of enemies, but it's mostly just higher enemy stats. Echoes hard is about on the same level as Conquest hard, I'd say, though slightly easier since the maps themselves are way less of a pain.

I'm a bit past chapter 1 and so far this has been a lot easier than Conquest hard.

Are there any obvious choices for items I should trade between armies with the merchant?

Same with Boey's ragnarok, though honestly Boey's so poo poo I just use him and Nomah as (terrible, 1 range) staffbots.

Boey is great at not being good enough to kill enemies so I can level my other units easier

Speaking of forging, are there any especially good weapon evolves I should be going for?

I mean I've played gaiden 3-4 times so I don't think it's unfair to compare conquest's maps to it. conquest didn't have map design it just had stupid gimmicks, a lot of the maps were still basically boxes or strings of chokepoints, there was no thought put into enemy placement or terrain, it's just you'd get blown around by a wind machine or have a button to freeze every enemy to make up for the fact that the enemy placement was basically gaiden with higher damage and hit rates.

I disagree.

The wind map allowed you to manipulate the winds to move faster and get into good enemy range.

The worst map in Conquest is the terrible kitsune map.

Yeah that map was awful

Mila's turnwheel made this game pretty easy even on hard since I could actually make mistakes and try risky stuff without having to reload.

That's not really making it easier, more making it more convenient, since you had the same function already - just more annoying (reloading from the map start save). No perma-death on the other hand makes it easier, even if you normally played with restarting if anyone dies, since it allows for suicide runs unlike the perma-death mode.

The turnwheel let me make risky moves I would never have done otherwise.

In fire emblem there is also always the chance that the bad characters will get really good level-ups while the supposed good characters won't so experiences vary
