Had a mare on chapter 11.

Does everyone understand the weapons in this, or have I just got a blind spot for how it works?  Usually in these games shops will do a handy 21>24 thing if you hover over a weapon purchase, comparing it to your equipped item, but I'm doing a lot of back and forth in menus to check weapon classes etc.  I assumed Hit meant power, perhaps with a higher class weapon being more powerful, i.e a B class 75 hit would be better than a C class 80 hit, but I now think this is probably wrong.   I muddled through without quite getting it last time too (I get the triangle, just not how to tell if I'm buying a better weapon than what I have equipped).  I also don't understand the forging tbh.

Just promoted everypne I use regularly barring two characters (only got one seal left!) with master seals at level 18 after a couple of hours of grinding.  Smashed through chapter 14 with my big boy crew.

Mayber.

Just started Birthright.

We have feet!

Might?

Makes more sense than mine, I guess.

By buying you a stock image of the collectors edition?

Girl did good.

Still enjoying Birthright.  Aside from the lack of an 'optimise castle faffing' option, it's excellent.  Up to chapter 22 I think.  Not lost anyone yet*

*Perma-death off, you see.  I'm pretending it's Shining Force.

Cheers DF - I'll give that a crack tomorrow.  Sounds promising!

 In fact that's close to how I've been playing but with some important differences.

I've had the Hero and Knight start where you suggest and that works great.  But have had Arthur top right (near the ballista, where the enemy archers come around), Carmella floating around below the wall, trying to pick of the flight units before they have a chance to come over the wall.  And the other dragon unit protecting top left left, along with Odin manning the fireball orb launcher.

That does *okay* but falls apart late in the game, once the water canals are drained. 

In hindsight it was probably a misuse of Carmella's power.

Was actually thinking today, do you know if it's possible to fly her down to the enemy leader who drains the canal, before it happens?

No idea whether you can do that with the boss. I only used the FB launcher on the axemen on the top left then teamed Odin up with someone. Camilla is the fucking business on this map. I think I teamed her up with the other wyvern rider. Try luring the pegasus riders out when the water drains (obv avoiding archers). So they can reach her and get off an attack, she can withstand a tremendous amount of punishment and this will make them easier pickings for the others. I didn't bother with the ballista at the top right at all. I used Niales and Nyxxx to stop the enemy archers using it, then sent them back into the middle. It's a tough but excellent fight.

Jesus Christ has anyone got to chapter 15 on conquest?

I did birthright first, yes. Took about 44 hours, did as many paralogues as I got.

Sneaky pro tip - struggling on conquest? Get ye to the dlc and there's one called spooky something, or ghostly something, and it's a dlc designed to grind...

Monster monster

Chapter 12 on birthright is annoying me. Only had two shots but think my usual slow and careful approach is not the one.

Yeah.
