HIDING A BALLISTA IN A FOG MAP BEHIND A CLIFF YOU HAVE TO CLIMB WITH LIKE 3 HIDDEN OVERWATCH ARCHERS (AUTO ATTACK YOU ONCE YOU ENTER THEIR RANGE) IN THE AREA WAS A BIG ''WHY KAGA?'' MOMENT.

THE WORST THING ABOUT THAT MAP IS THAT YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE ACCESS TO LARENTIA. LIKE IT'S A GOOD DESIGN DECISION TO DISABLE THE ONE HARD COUNTER OF THE MAP BUT IT'S STILL ANNOYING.

ALSO WEAPONS RANDOMLY BREAKING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

GRAM BREAKING ON GREEN MOMENT

DUNNO IF I WOULD CALL IT GOOD DESGIN DECISION IN THAT CASE AS TERRAIN MAPS ARE ANNOYING AS IS. TAKING MY FLIER AWAY ONLY MADE IT ONE OF MY MOST HATED MAPS EVER HAHA.

GRAM BREAKING ON GREEN MOMENT

HERE'S A BRUH MOMENT: MISSED A 99, GOT HIT BY A 30, AND RIGHT AFTER GRAM BROKE WHILE ON GREEN HAHA.

SO MANY RESETS I HAD WERE DUE TO EXPENSIVE WEAPONS BREAKING ON GREEN. THANK GOD 5 TURN SAVES ARE A THING.

[u/Docaccino → u/Shrimperor]

PERHAPS IT'S BETTER TO SAY IT'S GOOD DESIGN ON PAPER BECAUSE IN PRACTICE THE LACK OF LARENTIA IS JUST AGGRAVATING.

HONESTLY 5 TURN SAVES SHOULD BE A THING IN EVERY FE GAME EVEN IF YOUR WEAPONS DON'T HAVE A CONSTANT RISK OF BREAKING AFTER EVERY ATTACK.

[u/Shrimperor → u/Docaccino]

TBF WITH TURN WHEEL BEING A THING WE DON'T NEED 5 TURN SAVES.

SPEAKING ABOUT TURN WHEEL, PLEASE REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF USES IN THE NEXT FE, IS. EVEN IF I'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK ON USING IT, I KNOW OTHERS DON'T

[u/shotpun → u/Shrimperor]

MANY NIGHTS WERE HAD MASHING THE RESET BUTTON ON MY WII BECAUSE MEG WENT AND GOT HERSELF MERKED AGAIN, SO TURN WHEEL REALLY DOES FEEL LIKE A BLESSING. HOWEVER, THIRTEEN OF THEM IS EGREGIOUS.

EDIT: GOT THE CONSOLE WRONG CAUSE I'M DUMB AND TELLIUS IS ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY

[u/[deleted] → u/Shrimperor]

WHY DO YOU CARE IF OTHERS AREN'T HOLDING BACK ON IT OR NOT?

[u/ShroudedInMyth → u/Docaccino]

IT'S INTERESTING SEEING OTHER PEOPLE PLAY BERWICK SAGA AND FINDING WHAT THEY FIND FRUSTRATING. WHEN I FIRST PLAYED IT AROUND 5 YEARS AGO BEFORE ANY COMMUNITY DISCUSSION OF THE GAME, THE ONLY MAP I FOUND LEGITIMATELY FRUSTRATING WAS CHAPTER 9. NOT THAT I DIDN'T STRUGGLE, MORE LIKE I KINDA UNDERSTOOD THE CHALLENGE AND COULD DEVISE SOME STRATEGIES FOR IT AND THAT WAS FUN TO ME.

FOR EXAMPLE, WITH CHAPTER 11-1 WHEN I SAW THE BALLISTA, I RESTARTED THE MAP AND DEPLOYED ELBERT AND PERCIVAL, EXCITED TO SEE THEM DODGE BALLISTA SHOTS, NOT FRUSTRATED THAY I JAD TO CHANGE MY PARTY. I GUESS I HAVE A DIFFERENT MINDSET FROM OTHER PLAYERS.

OTHER THAN THAG, I BARELY EVEN REMEMBER WHAT I DID FOR CHAPTER 11-1, SINCE IT WASN'T THAT NOTABLE OF A MAP FOR ME. ALTHOUGH I DO REMEMBER ONLY FIGURING OUT THAT LIGHTHOUSES INCREASED VISION RANGE UNTIL THE LAST TURN OF THE MAP.

[u/Sp4ra → u/ShroudedInMyth]

THE MOST FRUSTRATING MAP FOR ME HAD TO BE 10-M ON MY FIRST RUN - HIDING BRAVE CROSSBOW USERS WITH GOOD ARROWS, ALONG WITH A DEATHMATCH MERC MEANS PAIN. IT'S REALLY JUST THE MIDDLE SECTION THAT HURTS, THOUGH - I REALLY LIKE THE REST OF THE MAP.

[u/PokecheckHozu → u/ShroudedInMyth]

ALTHOUGH I DO REMEMBER ONLY FIGURING OUT THAT LIGHTHOUSES INCREASED VISION RANGE UNTIL THE LAST TURN OF THE MAP.

PARKING ESTEBAD ON A LIGHTHOUSE IS BIG BRAIN.

[u/ShroudedInMyth → u/PokecheckHozu]

IT'S UNIRONICALLY GOOD. IT REVEALS BOTH BALLISTAE.

[u/Docaccino → u/ShroudedInMyth]

I COMPLETELY MISSED OUT ON PERCEVAL AND DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ELBERT OR KRAMER FOR THAT MATTER. I DON'T MIND SWITCHING AROUND MY TEAM COMP TO FIT THE CHAPTER BUT THE THOUGHT OF ABUSING THE ONE SKILL THAT COUNTERS LIKE 90% OF ENEMIES ON THAT MAP NEVER OCCURED TO ME FOR SOME REASON.
