Speaking of, as an update, I got through Awakening and really got a good feel for how all the mechanics I never understood worked thanks to advice from you all and a lot of experimentation. I enjoyed it a lot and would probably be giving the game a few more passes on higher difficulties and trying different things, if I didn't have Fates to move on to. Started BR at the end of last week. It's more different than I expected honestly, but not in a bad way. I probably picked up some bad habits from Awakening by getting so used to almost always pairing up. I'm trying to avoid just turtling and actually have a bit of fun with it and it requires a bit more foresight, I'm enjoying it. Still getting used to the extremely depreciated XP gains if a character is higher level than the enemies. Incentivizes me to spread the wealth and feed my weakest characters the kills, but that also ends up being risky sometimes if I overextend lol... | ||

It's Conquest that really takes the gloves off and breaks your bad habits. I've heard this said so many times in this thread that it's definitely become my biggest motivation for finishing BR as soon as possible. | ||

I started replaying FE6 in the meantime, but should be able to finish it by the time we'd actually be able to kick off the draft, lol. yea I'm still up for it...I keep trying to get into FE6 but for whatever reason I'm finding it a lot less enjoyable than FE7 | ||

It has a rather difficult hard mode, but also one that I'm not a huge fan of due to it being *heavily* based on stat inflation for difficulty increase. Also some really questionable unit balance thanks to how hard mode bases work. | ||

I wouldn't hold my breath. As far as homebrew goes, now is the first time in a while we have an easily accessible primary entrypoint (i.e. one that doesn't require Cubic Ninja), so now's pretty much the easiest time to get homebrew. EDIT: Nevermind, Nintendo already took SmileBASIC off the eShop. | ||

With a 5 person draft, there are 35 picks so everyone gets exactly 7 picks. With 4, you toss out Geitz/Wallace (they're frequently omitted), and make the last 2 units a split pick (basically we as a group decide which character everyone gets), so everyone gets 8 picks + the split pick. | ||

It's Conquest that really takes the gloves off and breaks your bad habits. Conquest forces you to break some bad habits, but if you're as stubborn as I am, some other bad habits you may have might not actually get broken haha. But yes, would totally love to do a FE7 draft! | ||

Anyway, seeing as we're likely to be doing this with 4, I'll post the rules below. If people don't have a way to get a Hector Mode save, we can do this in Eliwood Mode (all that would change is that we don't have a split-pick anymore and everyone gets the last undrafted unit)--it doesn't really matter. Likewise if we do find a 5th, we just make Geitz/Wallace draftable and there's no split pick. Drafting: 1. This draft is for 4 players. 2. Hector, Lyn, Eliwood, Marcus, Merlinus, Ninian/Nils, and Athos are free for all to use. 3. Bartre and Karla are drafted as a pair. 4. Geitz and Wallace will remain undrafted. 6. The remaining 2 units at the end of the draft will be a split pick. 5. The game will be played on Hector Normal/Hard Mode, with Lyn Mode. Rules: 1. Undrafted units may recruit characters, rescue undrafted units and NPCs, trade, visit Shops/Armories and dig up items in the desert. 2. Undrafted units may not enter combat, use staves, build Supports, rescue Drafted units, open Doors/Chests, Talk to Fargus in Chapter 17x or Seize castles in Chapter 25 3. Gaiden Chapters may be visited at the player's discretion and are not required to be visited. 4. NPC units may do as they please without penalty. 5. Matthew may be deployed and freely open locks. Thieves may not steal unless drafted. 6. Use of the Enemy Control Glitch is allowed. Exceptions: 1. All units are free for Lyn Mode. 2. Matthew is free for Chapter 11. 3. Meatshielding is allowed for Chapter 13x. 4. Lyn, Kent, Sain and Wil are free for Chapter 16. 5. Thieves may steal necessary Promotion items if the player requires one. Draftable Units: + Show Spoiler + Matthew Serra Oswin Lowen Rebecca Dorcas Bartre/Karla Guy Erk Priscilla Florina Sain Kent Wil Raven Lucius Canas Dart Fiora Legault Ninian Isadora Heath Rath Hawkeye Farina Pent Louise Karel Harken Nino Jaffar Vaida Renault | ||
