Huh, I remember we had a big one, but it looks like it never hit the archive. I remember we put a bunch of growth boosters on the dancer and made them not terrible in combat.

It was 12 pages long, so not actually big. Big would be if it was at least the size of Artix's FE7 playthrough or Tae's FE14 playthrough.

Also Feena is already a good fighter thanks to her Lady Sword and Rapier access, she doesn't need more buffs unless you're trying to meme with "LOL wouldn't it be funny if a non-combat class in GBA was actually superstrong". I found Matthis ending up a full-time unit to be a funnier development.

Please don't go promoting Dieck at the first opportunity.

Weird, that enemy Pegasus Knight is a Wyvern Rider in Maniac Mode. I don't get why you'd need to lower the difficulty that much for Hard, it's still using stationary-until-enemy-in-range AI.

(Obviously this isn't an actual vote, I just couldn't help myself.)

To be fair, at least as I understand it the original release version of the base hack predates maniac and the other side modes by a lot, they weren't developed concurrently (and iirc from skimming the FE Universe thread, they're not necessarily at version parity even now). So it's less a matter of lowering the difficulty for hard as it is raising it for maniac.
First, his name is "Shin", so the pun doesn't work.

Second, I just find it bizarre that they'd add a Peg Knight at all. The Wyvern Rider was something I mostly thought existed to be a neat touch when I played Maniac, because Bern's whole deal is Wyvern Riders and it's fun to see one appear in your first fight with Bern where they'd used to take until Chapter 7 to appear. I guess in theory the flier is there to deter players from having Thany lurk on the peaks while Dieck and co are turtling at the forts, but 1: There's no need to do so when she can just hide south of the forts instead or head west to help Roy's group, 2: there's already a couple archers to deter Thany, and 3: Marcus can easily lure the flier out on the first turn.

All Merlinus uses Skill for is dodge calculations I think, so it's a pretty minor and random change. Maybe the devs know something we don't, and this 1 point of Skill revolutionizes Merlinus gameplay entirely, but I doubt it..

I thought Skill only affected the unit's accuracy and crit rate. What does Merlinus need a maxed skill cap for?

I have to imagine it's a solved issue in the hacking community by now, and thus a deliberate choice on the dev's part, but FE6 isn't nearly as well documented as 7 or 8, so who knows.

I'll hold off on making the decision to stall Cath's recruitment. We're still nowhere near Chapter 12. The only thing I want for sure is that OP has Roy talk to her in Chapter 8 so she can be recruited at any point she appears afterwards, since that was a mistake Melth made in his FE6 LP.

There's actually only one wyvern on the map right now, but Project Ember still does that thing where the game silently adds more enemies in between the prep screen and the start of the chapter.

Actually, that's just something unique to FE6 Hard Mode - adding the extra Hard Mode enemies right after you've already ended preparations. It only happens on three maps: this one, Chapter 21, and Chapter 22. It's most noticable in Chapter 21, when the camera darts all over the big map to spawn in two extra Wyvern Rider squadrons.

Anyways: Lance, Alan, Marcus, Dieck, Ward, Lot, Thany, Lugh, Clarine, Rutger, Saul, Sue.

With the loss of paladins having axes, Zealot and eventually Treck gaining Great Knight seems like an advantage in the long term, since they don't lose any movement compared to their traditional counterparts. Treck using Hand Axes could maybe save a few Javelins for the other cavs, and if trained, could probably have some decent synthesis with Gonzales. I don't think it's wise to mix up the cavalier pairs given their incompatible support networks, though, so if we're using Treck, we'll probably have to use both him and Noah long-term - which is fine if we eventually switch from Rutger to Fir, I guess.

Devias looks like a gimmick, with top-heavy stats and growths (power, skill, and soooooo much HP), with access to all four physical weapons without promoting (btw, all Generals in Project Ember use all four physical weapons a la FE4). He's still an Armorknight that only supports other Armorknights, though, so he'd slow the pace pretty badly. Maybe you could do joke runs having him and the rest of the Armors spam Triangle Attacks. Bring him to this next map anyways for the sake of viewing dialogue options, and then ditch him.

Barth's always been decently servicable for his niche with his high defense and guaranteed HP levelups, mainly held back by the usual bad speed plus a lower resistance stat than even most FE3 units.
But I'm sure you'll like Wendy in this hack.

Last Celebration posted:

Huh, is that an Ember thing or have FE6 enemies always just not had a luck stat beyond invisible Hard Mode bonus levels?

It's exclusive to the hack. For some reason the hacker decided to give all enemies and bosses garbage luck growths, so basic enemies will never have more than 1 or 2 points while bosses usually sit in middling single digits. I don't really like it, since it diminishes the threat bosses pose and makes crit weapons even more unbalanced even with the base -10 crit on all combat in this hack. But I guess it's to make the game less luck-focused, since luck boosts both accuracy and evasion.

For the record, I do intend to show off all the supports for the new characters eventually, so you don't need to let the fear of missing out on PE exclusive content influence your votes.

I was actually fixating more on stat optimization than just getting the supports themselves. I have this fixation recently on having my main parties in an FE run support-compatible so the teams aren't as complete a mishmash as usual.

...Man, that sounds unbelievably stupid when I say it out loud. Basically I just want you to use Wendy because she has bows and isn't as top-heavy as Barth or Devias.

Lance, Alan, Ellen, Thany, Chad, Lugh, Clarine, Sue, Treck, Shin.

I'd like you to demonstrate a detail to this level that nobody else tends to remember, and you'll probably need a lot of mobile units to pull it off. Namely, recruiting Tate by having Thany talk to her twice - first before recruiting Klein, and then after recruiting Klein. Vilkacis did it in his romhack showcase, but nobody noticed it because they told him to redo the whole level for missing the Elysian Whip and ended up recruiting Tate with Klein instead. And nobody actually knew about it in Melth's playthrough - they only knew about the method of turning Tate NPC. The armors also probably need to take a break if we're gonna be trying to get Ward and Lot their last chances to show off before Gonzales, Treck and/or Barth are almost certain to replace them. Fir's also guaranteed deployment next chapter.

Neat to see Oujay's surpassed Dieck in most stats. Also glad Chad's managed to redeem himself with his levels last chapter.

Also, there is one player-usable Light Blade in this hack, but obtaining it has nothing to do with which routes you take. It's even more obnoxious than that.
