Which probably means that I'm going to forget about this Thracia playthrough and start all over again the next time I think of it. Oh well, I got 3/4 of the way through the game and the warpskips start picking up super fast after where I got to anyway. | ||

It's crazy how at least for me celica's team is so much better than alm's. For villagers Kliff And gray are merc, faye is cleric, tobin is mage | ||

Tobin got super speed blessed and just rekt chapter 1. Doubling threshold being 1 and not 5 means small speed advantages snowball super hard. | ||

I just gave gray bolt sword and other stuff to kliff and alm. In chapter 3 I gave Kliff a steel sword and upgraded it into the zwei thingy, and ofcourse alm has the royal sword. At the start of Land of Sorrow everyone has promoted (except gray but he's one lvl away from df so not a big deal) | ||

As it turns out, learning 6 spells isn't all that useful when 3 of them aren't that useful and you learn the best spell late. I was actually going to do Archer on this playthrough but Kliff's 2 pre-promotion levels were both HP-only, and I didn't want to deal with 2 base Spd for that much longer. I probably could have made him a Merc, but if Gray is getting the Bolt Sword anyway, the only real difference between them for early game is Merc's hilariously overkill speed, and Kliff's 60% Spd growth made me feel like starting with 10 Spd base would be pointless. Cav Kliff only needs 3 Spd to double all of chapter 1 and he can get 1 from the first Lion Well if you want to make that a priority. | ||

At least when I played the last map in Gaiden Slayder ran at me but dozer hid back. In SoV the opposite happened which really caught me off guard. One really cool rare instance where SoV ai worked differently than Gaiden's. | ||

Basically the combination of the promotion mechanics and XP mechanics means that you pretty much always want to promote at or near minimum possible level. | ||

Rather than giving you fixed promotion bonuses, any stat that's lower than the class's bases are simply raised to the class's base value in that stat. Holding off on promotion simply delays you getting to more or less the same place. Gaiden's XP formula is also a weird combination of your level and class, so being high level in an unpromoted class reduces your XP gain by a lot--a character that's level 8 in a tier 1 class actually gains XP slower than than a character that's level 1 in a promoted class. Basically the combination of the promotion mechanics and XP mechanics means that you pretty much always want to promote at or near minimum possible level. What Yango said. A simple example of this is that the mercenary base skill and speed is 8 and 10. If I take a villager with 8 and 10 he wont get any stats boosts in skill and speed. But a guy with 2 and 3 will go up by 6 and 7. Furthermore yea your xp gain will drop tremoundously. Furthermore the one unit I focused super hard on was Kliff; with insta promotes by endgame he was only lvl 13 of his 3rd tier. So you dont have to worry about losing out on level ups, chances are no one will max level even if you promote as early as possible. This makes me realize just how different Gaiden is from any other game. I feel bad for any going into SoV without background knowledge lol. | ||

This is why I thought it was silly that people kept calling a Gaiden remake a "return to classic Fire Emblem" or something like that. Gaiden is more different from what people would consider "classic" Fire Emblem than Awakening/Fates are. | ||

I'm also planning on turning most of my villagers into soldiers, so I'm probably going to need all the help I can get. | ||

All the grinding in the world isn't going to stop an army of Armor Knights from becoming warp bait once witches show up. Yea honestly the only armor knight I use past act 1 is Valbar and that's only cuz of Baron Von Valbo memes. I'm not using lightning sword anymore. Alm has royal, kliff has zweihander, and gray has killing edge | ||
