I started this thing on a whim yesterday (well, I haven't gone to sleep since then so technically today I guess) and I'm pretty curious to see how low I can go. My only condition to this thing is no Seth. Anything goes to save turns (but it's how patient I am that limits this) and I'm not bothering for 100% recruitment. Sorry Cormag. [spoiler=PROLOGUE - 2/2] Seth burnt an RN and then Eirika critkilled everything, draft style. Her level sets her up nicely for next map (she needs strength, and I think speed too.) [spoiler=CHAPTER 1 - 4/6] Eirika runs and takes out a fighter or two and then Franz grabs her. Gilliam kills the soldier that would be blocking Franz, and he drops Eirika in front of Breguet, and she needs to dodge two of Breguet/a soldier/a fighter in order to not die. [spoiler=CHAPTER 2 - 5/11] It's possible to do this with less with some SERIOUS rigging I think, but I'm not up for that much. Eirika rushes towards the boss area after a bunch of irons are bought from the armoury in order to save weapon uses. Vanessa grabbed Ross and offloaded him to Moulder, who got the villages, then stole Garcia's kill, and picked off the weakened boss. Franz and Gilliam took on the reinforcements. [spoiler=CHAPTER 3 - 5/16] 4 is definetely possible without Seth, I tried it. Only problem was it required a Vanessa doublecrit with 42%/3% hit/crit respectively. Obviously that wasn't going to work. I bought a bunch of ranged weapons for this thing to work. Hand Axe!Ross and Iron Lance!Vanessa break down the first wall. Eirika critkills the dude in the way with her Rapier because she was only going 3/4 for strength. Garcia Hand Axes the wall after that. Next turn Vanessa Javelins it, and Iron Sword!Franz and Garcia run through and start to clear a path. Eventually Eirika got hauled over to the boss' room where Garcia/Franz/Vanessa combined to kill Babza, and Eirika seized. Unfortunately I missed a chest key, so I need to secure that in 5x. [spoiler=CHAPTER 4 - 3/19] Vanessa flies straight down and is able to ORKO starting turn 2 enemy phase. Franz goes right and gets healed by Moulder after killing both Mogalls, then heads down. Reinforcements appear on turn 3, Eirika kills the Fetid Claw one and the rest suicide on her. Franz was busy ORKOing with Iron Lance stuff, and Artur took the right side. Vanessa 2RKOed the boss with a Javelin. [spoiler=CHAPTER 5 - 3/22] Colm and Franz start closest to Saar. Vanessa fullmoves and stops just before Colm's square. He rescues, Franz takes and drops her. This is important. Franz blitzed up next turn, Colm lured Joshua, Moulder rescued Eirika and Vanessa flying over and securing the Armourslayer. Franz was able to punch a guy out of the way for Nessie. Gilliam got the Dracoshield. [spoiler=CHAPTER 5X - 7/29] Ephraim and Orson make their way to the throne on their own, Kyle and Forde secure a door key. Orson manages to nab a Chest Key on the way, and Ephraim takes the thing (along with the Silver Sword) [spoiler=CHAPTER 6 - 3/32] Vanessa takes the Draco and flies for the boss. Franz does what he can to earn experience and draw Archers. It was a pretty simple chapter. [spoiler=CHAPTER 7 - 4/36] Nessie rescues Eirika and flies up. Moulder and Garcia drop Colm onto the river first turn. Franz rushes right for the sake of experience. Vanessa drops Eirika to dispose of the boss (one square short ugh) and goes to earn some exp herself. Meanwhile Moulder heals Colm and he steals the Energy Ring. Franz barely reaches level 10. [spoiler=CHAPTER 8 - 7/43] Oh boy. Franz promotes to Paladin and carries Eirika, dropping her so he can clear the throne room and Tirado out. Vanessa flies behind him, over the water and assists Ephraim's group and grabbing the Whip. Colm grabbed the Angelic Robe, after Garcia cleared the room out, since he was my only capable fighter left. Vanessa took the Robe after the Chapter. Forgot to unload the Silver Sword onto a Cavalier. Oh well.

But there's one thing that's been bugging me. In Chapter 10, I could sacrifice Tana to drop Eirika next to Pablo on turn 1 enemy phase. She either kills him if she's strong enough, or Vanessa mops him up. Either way works, but would giving up a second flier be too costly? I don't really care about making everyone survive, even though nobody's died yet. If it's for the sake of turnshaving, I'll do it. Also, do I need to raise another Cavalier/Pegasus Knight for anything? If so I'll probably opt for Tana, even though she won't be able to promote till the desert, unless someone gives me a really good reason to choose Kyle. I'm kind of worried about how to tackle the desert honestly, so I'd like thoughts on that. And Chapter 9, for that matter. Not really sure what TC I should be gunning for there, since only really Garcia is competent outside of the units I've listed (and Joshua, to an extent.) Also, should I hold out on Vanessa's promotion or just go for it now? Thoughts?
