none

Yay! I'm probably not capable of playing myself, so I'll just act as a host unless the final spot filling takes forever. That also means that one more archer lover fits in <3 If I missed anything or something is unclear, please tell about it. Let's get started, then?

Stop making drafts I want to play!

[The Spanish Inquisition]

This is so hilarious that I must join.

Also, problems/changes I foresee:
1. Generals and Warriors are probably as legitimate as Horsemen as Archerish units, given lack of melee weapons. Why not allow them w/o lances and axes, respectively?
2. You can only have so many archers. Do the rest of your units hide? Or are they considered undrafted?
3. Wait, why are Jake and Beck banned? Ballisticians are just long range archers, right?
4. The meatshielding rule discourages us from going to Gaiden chapters. Is this your intent?
5. Do we have to recruit drafted units?

1. YES
2. They aren't deployed?
3. YES.
4, 5. Fuck if I know, I'm just answering this for the sake of getting 100% completion.

[13th]

Oh my god let me in on this this is so so... BAD.

ITS AMAZING

I didn't foresee the class cap - there are five Archer/Sniper slots and four Hunter/Horseman slots. As we are drafting 13 characters, it would make sense to allow Warriors as long as they don't have any Axes equipped. Generals are too powerful for meatshielding, and this brings the total limit to 14, which is enough anyway. There aren't 9 Male B set characters available for everyone though - this can be gotten around by increasing the draftee limit or just leaving it there and have a leeway for mistakes and drafting strategy? (Considering anyone not Archer/Sniper/Hunter/Horseman/Warrior as undrafted)

Jake and Beck are, in my opinion, strong characters in this kind of a draft. It also balances the character amount so that everyone has 13 characters and nobody is left out. I guess that they could be allowed if we increased the player limit to 6, bringing the total character amount to 54 and 9 per player (which solves the class cap problem too). In fact, having six players over four would have lots of benefits, but I wonder whether H1 is painful to complete with these rules in that case?

You will have to plan a little to get to Gaidens, and maybe kill off your drafted characters for the later ones. I think that this promotes weighing the extra exp against the trouble of doing so, which in turn adds some more strategy. Or then it's just that I didn't think of gaidens that much, but thought that allowing meatshielding with anyone not named Marth is too easy.

Recruitment is not mandatory, I'll add that to the rules..

So the important questions are - whether or not to increase the player amount to six and if Warriors are allowed? I want input from you lot since I'm not playing. although I could be a sadistic dictator and just do that anyway, but meh

Edited by カルル, 04 April 2012 - 09:44 AM.

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Increasing to six players is perfectly reasonable, and 9 units should be doable...

Also, to clarify, you mean Hunter/Horseman/Warrior slots right?

Drafting Jake or Beck are probably just as important as the Christmas Cavaliers/Sheeda/Barst (I think, maybe I'm wrong)

And I can't seem to find any mention of Jagen anywhere...

Edited by The Spanish Inquisition, 04 April 2012 - 09:52 AM.

[Serious Bananas]

YES

This'll be interesting.

Also, Jagen ought to be free, and no meat sheilding is silly.

Edited by Serious Bananas, 04 April 2012 - 10:00 AM.

[Refa]

Not allowing Generals is silly. :\ And you could always make the ballistae doods free.

I need to stop signing to new ideas. In. Stop doing creative drafts!

Allow Warriors, idc about the player limit, and allow meatshielding. It's not like we can heal the meatshields :P

Just force meatshields to be Mages/DMages/Curates.

[Serious Bananas]

Allow Warriors. Increase player cap, and allow meat shields. It makes the Gaiden characters WORTH SOMETHING.

[The Spanish Inquisition]

So, I count Integ, myself, 13th, Serious Bananas, and PKL.
I don't mind increasing # of players, PKL obviously wants # of players increased (so he can play), Serious Bananas wants player count increased, and Integ doesn't care one way or another.
Also, 13th wants to start drafting, so that makes 5 of us who want player count to be 6 (That said, we still need a 6th person).

カルル, do you mind updating the OP, including adding Jeigan?

[Serious Bananas]

Couldn't the host draft too? That would fill the spot.

[The Spanish Inquisition]

I'll just act as a host unless the final spot filling takes forever.

it hasn't been forever yet

[eclipse]

Fine. I'm in. However, it's gonna be really hard to kill off the requisite units to get to the gaiden chapters unless something is done about that meatshielding rule (three of the four recruitable units are class B males, to boot). . .and this makes Chapter 12 impossible, period.

I'd make one of Rickard/Julian free for thieving, and maybe one of Jake/Beck (Arrowspate only, maybe?)

[mmKALLL]

Sorry for the delay, I had a long day yesterday..

But I'm available every 10 minutes for whole of today! Hooray!

I modified the OP - please review the rules and see if there's something still missing. I added Jeigan, allowed meatshielding with mage classes, raised players to six, modified banned and allowed units - Jake and Beck are draftees while Julian is free, among other things.

You are allowed to have drafted characters in any class except Knight or General, but you may not equip melee weapons after chapter three. That should work fine, no?

After at least two players confirm that they have nothing to say to these, I shall randomize the drafting order and we may begin

Edited by カルル, 05 April 2012 - 04:34 AM.

[The Spanish Inquisition]

Aside from Julian being free for all to use and banned at the same time, and Jeigan's addition leaving one undrafted unit, sounds good

[eclipse]

Yep, more stuff.

1. The bosses for chapters 5-8 have annoyingly high defenses (remember that thrones give +2 DEF on top of the armor base defense), and you don't get a vulnerary refill until Chapter 8. Chapter 6 is even nicer, and doesn't have a single place for you to recover health (i.e. fort). For those chapters, I'd recommend allowing someone to be reclassed to a magical class so you can finish the game (and in the case of the Chapter 6 boss, you might need to allow tome forging, since I don't remember how much health he regenerates). Normally I'd say Rapier, but given the rest of the rules, you probably aren't gonna have enough of them by the time you get this far.

2. Chapter 12 is still impossible to complete without incurring a penalty. You'll need to allow meatshielding for undrafted characters in their original class for the map they are recruited on only. Otherwise, you take a penalty if anyone but Boah is hit.

3. Given these rules, someone who drafts characters that do not show up on the first three chapters can't complete this draft. While I'm hoping people aren't gonna be silly. . .

4. I'd allow Generals, because they will have problems keeping up, and good luck with an armored unit on Chapters 15 and 23 (and to a lesser extent, 16 and 19).

5. You might want to give this a shot just on Chapter 6. There's armored units all over the place, with mages and archers to ensure you take damage. Oh, and you'll need that Robe. . .
