There you go. A Fire Emblem Draft. A playthrough of one of my favourite games of all time, now as a competition with heavy restrictions. Plus, I'll be playing it in German, because I need that practice.

My draftees: Oswin, Florina, Sain, Canas, Isadora, Harken/Karel

My opponents: Barrylocke, Alfric, montagohalcyon, xiphoniii, Hnd 03

General rules

-Undrafted units cannot fight, break walls/trees, visit villages or rescue drafted units. They can meatshield, trade items, rescue undrafted units, recruit new units, find buried items and buy and sell items;

-Hector, Merlinus and Athos are free for all (so, they should be added up there, but whatever);

-Marcus is free up to, and including, Chapter 15. After that, he's banned;

-Matthew can be freely used for (and only for) thievery purposes. Legault is also allowed to steal that oh-so useful Member's Card;

-Any break of the above rules incurs in a 4-turn penalty. Yikes!;

-I do not have to get every item and character, nor do I have to keep everyone alive, but I want to, if possible.

And with that, I shall begin. Wish me Viel Glück!

When I started playing FE 6 recently I was shocked at how useful the horse/armorslayers were compared to the prequel. Guess someone thought they were overpowered?

Of course, you also don't get the Wolf Biel or Mani Katti and the Rapier isn't particularly awe-inspiring.

Hm, good point about the Wolf Beil and the Mani Katti. Still, it's a weird balancing decision, only main characters can wield them, limiting their usefulness.

Still, the Horse/Armorslayer and the like have been nerfed beyond the point of usefulness. They're pretty much pointless, now. At least the reaver weapons are still useful.
