Eh, that was a whoops on my part. For whatever it's worth, that's your avenue for doing weird Jakob kids replicate tactics the fastest, which is a thing I've been meaning to just try out since it sounds kind of dumb. Plus since it's F!Corrin, you get two Replicate kids. So it's actually a good pairing if you're willing to go weird.

I consider myself to have done well if I get out of Percy's map with 5k gold, so watching you methodically squeeze every drop of exp and gold from that map was incredible. Also a quick shoutout to the relay run, especially now that it's gotten back around to your second turn. It's pretty great, y'all should check it out!

My favorite part is everyone going "wtf guys" followed by going "I must use this -precious resource here- right now or else someone else will use it" and then devoting the entire map to doing something goofy with it. Or in Zorans case, just casually map clearing ch 10 again with all that nonsense.

Since there isn't a huge amount to talk about gameplaywise, outside of this being a well executed 9 turn rout of a map which begins to show the teeth of Conquest's lategame (powerful enemies with mixed offenses and overlapping ranges backed by status that you must defeat with clever use of the Dual Strike mechanic, both yours and the enemy's), let's talk about the minor plot change that the Good Guy Garon mod made which makes this chapter a lot better! Azura isn't a complete moron! That's almost literally it. Corrin convincingly pretends to be evil and Azura goes 'well that's alarming but it's part of the plan' instead of deciding, apropos of nothing, that Corrin is evil for real now despite just having this conversation about pretending to be evil. It's bizarre that this problem came up in the first place. I cannot for the life of me grasp why it would originally be like that on purpose. It feels like a translation error but it could just as easily be several writers' ideas smashing headlong into each other and none of them noticing until the game was ready to ship because they weren't being coordinated properly. The wonders of Fire Emblem Conquest, everybody!

This video feels like it was just as much an excuse to show off your knowledge of nautical terminology as it was your strategy... This is a fun map, but this is also very much the point around which I start leaving my units paired up instead of going for dual strikes. Conquest is my favourite FE but my biggest gripe about it is how difficult it can be to predict what's going to happen on enemy phase, between enemy dual strikes, skills, debuffs, and the AI. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with Shura. Maybe he'll get to kill Kotaro...

Appendix B: Inheritance In this game, there are five ways in which children inherit traits from their parents. Class Access With a couple of very rare exceptions, every child gets three classes innately: one default class and two accessible via Heart Seal. One of those Heart Seal classes will always be the same, while the other one depends on the variable parent (usually the mother—in this game, most kids are tied to their fathers). For example, Percy always has Wyvern Rider and Fighter, and our Percy also inherits Knight from his mother. Sometimes there's class overlap: the child already has the mother's base class, and they can't inherit it again. If Percy were mothered by Camilla, then instead of getting Wyvern Rider, he would receive Camilla's alternate class, Dark Mage. In a few cases, it's possible to have total class overlap. Percy's two fixed classes are exactly the same as Beruka's: Wyvern Rider and Fighter. She can't give him either of her classes, so the game resorts to "parallel classes": it looks up the opposing nation's equivalent of the mother's primary class and tries to pass that down instead. Hoshido's counterpart to Wyvern Rider is the Sky Knight class, so Beruka!Percy ends up with Wyvern Rider, Fighter, and Sky Knight. The way I've described this so far suggests that each child has two classes that are hard-coded and then one more that gets inherited from the variable parent. That's almost correct in practice, but it's not actually how the game decides class inheritance. In fact, each child only has one hard-coded class, which is their default class. The other two classes are then set as follows:
The fact that the father's class is chosen first also matters with Kana if Corrin's talent class is the same as their spouse's base class. Suppose you take Mage (i.e., Dark Mage) as your talent, as I have done. If Corrin marries Odin, then Kana will get Nohr Prince as his base class, Dark Mage from his father, and the parallel to Dark Mage, which is Diviner, from his mother. But if Corrin is male and marries Ophelia, Kana receives Nohr Princess as her base class, Dark Mage from her father (Corrin), and Samurai as the alternate class from her mother. Note that even though the father's class is selected before the mother's class, the actual ordering of the child's classes for the purposes of Friendship/Partner Seals is always:
The only way for a child not to get a third class is for Corrin to choose a talent that has no defined parallel class—Monk, Shrine Maiden, Apothecary, or Troubadour—and then marry someone who has that class as their base class. It's pretty silly that it works out that way:
Skill Inheritance This is pretty straightforward. Children get the bottommost skill in each parent's equipped skillset. DLC skills are skipped—you can't pass those down. Children also can't get Azura's Inspiring Song skill, which would be entirely useless for them because no one other than Azura can sing. Kids who start in a base class that's different from those of their parents, such as our Effie!Percy, have a small advantage because neither parent necessarily has to promote or change classes in order to pass down a skill. For parents to pass down something unique that the child can't eventually acquire on their own, they usually have to go into their Heart Seal or Friendship Seal classes. Growth Rates Each child has a set of predefined personal growth rates (growth rates without any modifiers from their class). Those default growth rates are averaged with the growths of the non-canonical parent. The canonical parent has no effect on the child's growth rates at all. Stat Inheritance Kids can get modest stat bonuses from their parents, but only if the parents are significantly better in a particular stat than the child would be if scaled to the level of the current (upcoming) chapter. The game computes a set of projections for the child's personal stats by taking their level 10 personal base stats and adding in their total growth rates (personal + class growths) for each level from 10 to the chapter level, then rounding to the nearest integer (with halves rounding up). For chapters after 18, that target level is greater than 20. Even though the children will ram the level 20 cap, these projections continue as if they could keep leveling up to reach the number defined for the chapter. That's level 22 after Chapter 18, then 24 after Chapter 19, and so on. Then for each stat, the game calculates F = max{0, [Father's personal stat] - [Child's projected personal stat]} M = max{0, [Mother's personal stat] - [Child's projected personal stat]} L = 2 + floor([Child's projected personal stat, but without passing the level 20 cap]/10) Inheritance bonus = min{L, floor((F + M)/4)} In other words, for every four points by which the parents collectively surpass their child in a stat, the child can receive one bonus point. The "L" term limits the inheritance so that, for example, the really slow kids who don't average at least 10 Speed by level 20 can only receive a maximum of 2 Speed from their parents, no matter how fast those parents are. Note that this limit depends on the child's projected personal stat based on their displayed level at the time of recruitment, not the projection that F and M use that can grow beyond the level 20 cap, so it's more punishing the longer you delay their paralogue. ***I have seen one instance where these formulas weren't exactly right. I got them from Serenes Forest originally, and they're correct in almost every case. I have yet to work out the cause of the discrepancy. Support Bonuses Each character in Fates has two unique sets of bonuses that they apply to their support partners: one set of personal pair-up bonuses and one set of personal adjacency bonuses. Pair-up stats for children are assigned as follows: C rank: Father's C rank bonus B rank: Mother's B rank bonus A rank: Father's A S rank: Mother's S In the case of our Percy, this translates to: C: Skl +1 B: Lck +1 A: Str +1 S: Str +2 He would be a pretty good Strength-boosting partner for his wife, especially if he became a Berserker (providing a total of +8 Strength!). Children's adjacency bonuses follow the opposite pattern: C rank: Mother's C rank bonus B rank: Father's B rank bonus A rank: Mother's A S rank: Father's S For Percy, that's: C: Crit +3 B: Avo +5 A: Crit +3 S: Hit +10 It's a little disappointing that Percy doesn't inherit more of his father's amazing Hit bonuses. As always, these adjacency bonuses are counted in full only when the unit is dual striking in a tag team. If a unit is merely adjacent to the lead combat unit and isn't directly supporting them, only 40% of the listed bonus is applied. Zoran fucked around with this message at 10:04 on Dec 29, 2022 |

Painfully, and with lots of dragon vein usage. It's a thin margin of balance where you flip the rocks like light switches to block off approaching dudes. My last run had Kinshi Knight Mozu with a Great Knight Silas pair-up ready with her bow to fly to any currently blocked off wall section to damage the ninjas while the rest of my army killed the other units. Flip a switch, army finishes the injured and remaining dudes, Mozu flies off to another blocked section to damage ninjas. I do play on Maddening, but definitely not as finely tuned as the videos here.

I'm glad to see Shura get his revenge. To think his story ends with him either getting benched or made into shoes 99% of the time... Getting to see Saizo's boss quote (and his boss defeat quote, which is really rare even in other FE games) would have been even sweeter, but I guess that would have just been a waste of EXP. Camilla reaching level 5 just in time to get crucial damage on that ninja was great, as was Mozu using her as a wall. Somehow it never occured to me to have someone on the other side of the invincible 1-2 ninja-proof roadblock. Conquest does give you a lot of ways around high avoid, but Kotaro really shouldn't be on a throne imo. He might be my least favourite boss in the entire series, either him or that one Ninja in Chapter 3. The only way he could be more annoying is if they gave him Rend Heaven and a high crit weapon.

I keep rewatching the previous videos whenever I've finished with your latest video, just to keep my Fire Emblem hunger somewhat satisfied now that we're in the waiting room. Engage's looking to take quite a few things from Fates so I suppose it's good training, too!

Everything about Kotaro is hosed up haha. The Fe6 Throne, the combo of Silver and Flame Shurikens, the Lunge Samurai next to him... this was a cathartic video. It also made me realize how much an early use of a Shelter/Sing chain can totally change a map. I pretty just accept that Saizo's gonna outpace me and die at some point when I play this map, but doubling up with Azura on that first turn gave your team so much early momentum to ride on. That's impressive!

Our first retirement! Selena did a hell of a lot for this run, she'll be missed. Curious to see how you're going to weave in the paralogues now that you're starting to unlock a bunch of them. Are we gonna do all of them as soon as possible, or hold off some for extra exp later? I want to reiterate one more time how great this series has been, Zoran. You're doing amazing work.

Some of those paralogues get super nasty once enemies start promoting, Soleil's being one of them (imo). I'm super interested to see where you space them out. Also, Laslow's joke at the end of his S support is a total dick move, but I respect that he saw a chance for a gag and took it.

Oh, I remembered something I wanted to ask. You've mentioned having to reset for unfortunate crits and misses, but do you also reset if you get some kind of fortunate dodge you weren't planning on? Like, if an enemy ninja misses an 87% or something like that, do you reset for the sake of demonstrating your strats with the debuffs/HP hits in mind? I'm curious because your recording sessions seem rigorous already, and I want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I had to do that in my first attempt recording chapter 17 so that Selena would get attacked by that one automaton (she dodged like 3 defense debuffs in a row), but otherwise no, it’s usually not a problem. In my test file I play with a patch that prevents dodging except when I’m specifically attempting dodge-tanking tactics like with Jakob here, so I usually have all those survival thresholds accounted for whether or not they actually come up.

I think the thing I was most impressed with this time wasn't anything you did, but a comment on the video pointing out that no, you can in fact interact with the imprisoned royal siblings by way of the princesses' personal skills. That's the sort of thing I was expecting to have come up in the video itself, but I guess there wasn't much place for it except potential showing off. Although speaking of recording resets, is there editing involved when something goes south in regards to the intros to each, or do you repeat that for each attempt?

I've been watching the stream recordings in the background while I do other things (because it helps me restrain the urge to play through Engage again before more of the DLC is out), so as far as I'm concerned we've gotten plenty to watch from you recently.
