Thoughts on the story: I was hoping that Sal would somehow have an epitome before it got to this point. That something would happen to make him realize that he was going down a dark path, but I was wrong. I know the FEU page said that the lord wasn't a good person just because they were blue, but I still wasn't expecting to attack a village of innocent people, like we are in the next chapter. Honestly, I'm hoping that Viskam will turn on us at some point. Or that SOMETHING will happen before we go out of our way to slaughter even more villages. Not many thoughts on the gameplay, other than I think I had the most fun on this map out of all the ones I've played. That's not saying the other maps are bad, though. I think I just really liked general Mira and Eagle.

I am SO going to use Trim when I play this

Thoughts: For the story, I think there should definitely be more set up to Valentia's betrayal. A scene where Valentia greets everyone would make the sudden switch feel more built up to, instead of just "Valentia will let us stay at her castle" "Oh no Valentia is trying to kill us." Other than that I do like the clear parallel between Valentia and Sal. I'm really wondering when - or if - Sal will realize how dark a path they're going down. More Hendrik and Christof scenes are cool, too.I really like them. Gameplay: Holy moly this map is tight. There was a LOT of promoted enemies, and I think that I should really get around to promoting my own, or start feeling my prepromotes. I definitely made the map harder on myself by not unlocking the Christof and Hendrik's door, but I didn't really have much time after the first few turns. It would have been REALLY funny if Valentia killed Sal at the end and I had to replay the entire map. But luckily she didn't. Also thank you thank you thank you for finally giving me javelins I'm so happy!!!!!!

Thoughts: For the story, I felt like Sal was being *less* hostile toward Christof and Hendrik than they were previously, since they immediately offered help while last time it took a bit of convincing. This *is* mentioned in the chapter itself though, so that was likely an intentional decision. I also think it's funny how Sal just... uses the Fire Emblem. I wonder who else will end up getting it in the future? For the gameplay, I guess I can say that Intra was my plan for the first alt seal, since she's dead. She turned into a wyvern lord, and I was looking forward to that. Fuck. For the actual map, itself, I think the difficulty largely depends on how you split your army. The side with Viskam clearly had a harder time dealing with the enemies than Sal's side did, even if Intra died because I'm stupid and forgot to move her. Valorie's pretty fun, and a 60 use stone is nice too. Her having sword in case of the sword breaking is nice too, even if she's not very good with them (at least at the moment, she still has several levels to grow.) Getting stuck in the water was very funny and I kind of wish I didn't mess up and get Sal killed. Unfortunately, I did. RIP Intra, you were one of my best units.

Thoughts: No real thoughts on the map design other that I think having the main threat of the map be a bunch of killer weapon wielding cavs in a map that you have to go pretty fast paced in is kind of icky. I am bad at fire emblem. Cory being dead was REALLY unexpected though! I honestly thought that he'd be coming back in like, chapter 19 or something. I like it though! Can't wait to see more of the story.

Uploading while I'm thinking of making a video? Wow, Dribble, really 🙄

Wolgar wow, I mean YOU HAVE TO RECLASS HIM, no? For the lolz

Suddenly, seven new units Yeah, this hack is wild

Thoughts: Pretty fun map, actually. I liked this one a lot more than the last map - even if I did lose two units. (Do you think this counts as the map where I lose a large chunk of my army? That usually happens when I ironman.) While Ryon mentioning the strong reinforcement, it was very misleading. I was thinking that a lot of strong enemies, with very advanced weaponry would spawn. Instead it was one promoted enemy with a slim lance. WHICH TO THEIR CREDIT was scary, and Atom WOULD have died if I hadn't had the Thorn tome on him. Or if he got crit. I'm glad it all worked out though I PROMISE I'm not playing poorly on purpose. I PROMISE. Anyway, six - no, seven new units! (if you include Mary) I really hope that the deployment slots get raised soon, having eleven slots in a game where I want to use everyone kind of hurts. I really need to stop recording while I'm sleepy.

Thoughts: As I said in the video, I really did not like this map. The gimmick of randomly moving wyverns just felt off, and is a large contributor to why I lost in my first attempt. On top of that, a lot of the enemies having what were effectively killer weapons just wasn't fun to deal with. I had a unit get crit by one in each attempt, though it only resulted in a death the first time. I also don't like how Marius has an item that permanently lowers his strength by three points, even if it does increase his speed.by three. It feels like a needless nerf to his stats, especially since it also takes up a slot in his inventory (although, he doesn't necessarily want five items either way.) This probably feels very nitpicky but I didn't have a whole lot of fun this time. I'm sorry.

Yippee yippee no deaths

Thoughts on the map: A bit of a tense opening, but afterward it became a bit slow, honestly. Most enemies had at least one tile where I could pull them on their own, meaning I wasn't even in very much danger, barring the times I was facing low crit chances. (Barya might get a goddess icon, honestly) Four new units, and I want to use all of them 😭 I'm especially partial toward Avaal, because I like armorknights. Having to bench Subaru sucks, but he did his job. He can rest. (unless I get Raigholm killed) I said it in the video, but I hope I get access to javelins and handaxes soon. Serenity and Intra would really appreciate javelins especially. Dont' have any thoughts on the story, really. It's cool that we're finally able to see the Demon General's stats, and Max rejoining is cool, but other than that I don't have much to comment on.

Thoughts: I think the map is very slow paced, despite the story saying the fight would be intense. Both times I lost a unit was due to me being complacent and misplacing them. I'm REALLY EXCITED for a healer though. SUPER FUCKING EXCITED, even. It feels like Christmas came early. I also think that the six(?) mages that spawned where the ballista is were completely unneeded. They feel like a "fuck you" for anyyone who decided to break down the wall, rather than shooting at it with Sagiita. Other than that, the map is fine, and I think Tatiana having two options depending on what you want is cool. Serenity is my new favorite character Amnesiac Selena is cool, I wonder if Grado will come up in the story at any point later on.

He's so cool, he even-

Rip It's your choice, you're the one playing

....Am I allowed to keep Tmuran alive when I replay this map? Also I'll post my thoughts when I finish the map, I promise

Man theese skeletons can fly wtf

Hey dribble! Did you stop writing your thoughts about the chapters in the comments?

You lost WHO

Wow the surprises

Arrival

Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

btw if you leave a transphobic comment I'm banning you

Whoa, bringing the hack creator along is really cool!

What is that second song it sounds familiar

Hi Cynthia!

I'm having trouble gathering my thoughts for some reason, I don't think there'll be a thoughts comment this time. I'm sorry. I do think it's neat how we got to kill the Dragon King though :3

Dribble looking for inspiration

Heck yeah dribble, no deaths! Waiting eagerly for new episodes(don't feel too pressured, tho)

Thoughts: Story: Meeting Uxo's parens is cool, and I wonder if maybe she'll end up being even more important in Part 2. Her brother mentioning axes definitely eluded to him joining in part 2 as a fighter, or some other axe wielding class. I'm looking forward to that. The Conflict was pretty standard, just a bandit encounter. Can't really go wrong with that. Gameplay: I was expecting the map to be harder than it was, honestly. Especially with how the baron (that's probably not the class name, but I forgot to look at it. I'm sorry.) just got one-rounded by Solum. The paladin almost taking out Fidem was scary though. I'm really hopign you get more Alternative Seals in part 2, especially since Mick's really my only viable option for the one I got in this map, since Cory's likely promoting next map. They seem really fun to play around with. I'm proud of myself!! I didn't get a unit killed this time!!!

I'm going to blame the fixed growths for your blank levels 😂 Though I am not even sure if those are random until you get them and then you get stuck with them in case you reset, or you get the same stats every playthrough. I only once I think played with fixed growths, so it is a bit weird. Oh yeah, I also did not mention this in the first episode, but playing the FE games on the 2nd hardest difficulty on the first run is based, I do the same usually as long as it goes above hard, though hard at least is my usual preference.

Thoughts: Story: I like where this is going. I can't help but wonder if Solum's going to be removed from the party completely in chapter 7, or if something else will happen. At any rate, Tobias joining the part is nice. I like the gradual build up, and how even some of our early allies are seemingly being wrapped up into the mix. This is a very good story so far. One of the better ones I've seen, if I will. Marrow was really funny. I like him. I kind of wish he was recruitable so I could see more of his dialogue. Gameplay: Another death, and it only wasn't two because I got lucky and got defense on Fidem lol! When will I learn to pay attention? Sorry that my gameplay isn't stellar. Anyway, onto the map design. I think that sometimes the "hurry up" reinforcements are a bit excessive. They're certainly not overbearing, but the amount of them that started appearing near the end was a lot, especially for a map that already has a timelimit. Tobias seems like a fun unit, and I'm happy to finally have a staffer. A staffer who can summon, no less. I was a bit surprised that he could use lances, too. The gargoyles add a lot of depth to his gameplay, too. You weren't lying when you said Solum would get a LOT better after promoting. He feels like an actual unit now. I was surprised that he promoted into a regular soldier, though. (Does that mean I could technically give him the master seal too?) May I ask what was in the chest I couldn't reach? It was my own fault for getting Max killed, but I'm still curious RIP Sal.

Dribble spotted

Lmao, I was not ready for those growths.

Thoughts: Story: I said it in the video, but I think the text moves too fast in some areas. It may be easier to read in your head, but while I was reading aloud I missed quite a few lines. Granted, I have been having trouble reading at some points even when the text didn't skip, but I do think that the skipping should be addressed. Palm lacking a generic conversation was bit odd, too. Now, for the actual story. I am certain that Solum is a demon, and a dangerous one at that. In fact, I predict that these beginning maps will end with either a fight against, or him being chased away. I'm really liking the story so far, and I'm sure part 2 will be even better, especially with what I assume were the antagonists appearing in the prologue. Gameplay: Losing Max was entirely my fault, I'll admit. I should have healed him. I'm not looking forward to the next few maps without my jagen, and tankiest unit. Sal and Cory being two different kinds of bulky is nice, and I like how they add to the story. The bow cavs in the corner felt a little pointless, honestly. There's no reason to go over there, and the only reason I did was because Mick didn't have a free option. Also, why do they have such low HP? It was the same in chapter 1 too. Also, I mentioned it in the video, but Solum's just kind of bad? The story keeps mention how he's really strong, but I don't really feel it. He almost dies after every combat, and doesn't hit particularly hard, either.

woah i played a different map than this when I played HotD. I should check which patch im on lol, it definitely looks a bit older on my end.

THREE!

TWO!

Chapter 2 thoughts: Story: Now would be a good time to say that I DON'T want any of my theories to be answered. I don't want to be spoiled in any way. ...Is Solum a demon? I can't help but feel like that's what his reaction during the outro meant. Moving on, I like Max's character. I found his lines a bit difficult to read aloud, for some reason, but other than that I enjoyed him quite a lot. I'm also really enjoying the tension so far, Tobias is good antagonist. Gameplay: This map was fairly difficult, and I did worry I would lose one my units and got dangerously close on more than one occasion. I really liked how STRONG the magic in the game seems to be, and can't wait to play around with it in future maps. I really appreciate the inclusion of Max, as someone who can just kind of go off and do their own thing is something I enjoy very much. All in all, it was a fun map, made difficult in the fact that I lost Sagiita on the same turn I recruited her.

TWO!

Chapter 1 Thoughts: Story: The sudden change after the map ended was a surprise. I figured that there'd be some form of tension early on, but I wasn't expecting it to come so so soon, and from Prf. Tobias! Max arriving suddenly felt a bit convenient, but I'm sure that there'll be an explanation in the next map. Sagiita and Fidem were nice additions to the cast, and I've enjoyed their dialogue so far. Unfortunately I won't be seeing much of Sagiita's, at least until Part 2 (if she rejoins, that is.) Gameplay: If you pay attention, I'm sure this map can be tackled without any issue. Unfortunately, I did not pay attention. I was caught off guard by the strength of the enemies on more than one occasion, and will surely pay more attention from here on. Otherwise, I think that this map works well. The nomad reinforcements come a very early, but in my second attempt they were easy to work around. If I had to change anything, it'd be to change a few of the steel weapons to iron ones, but all in all it's a good map. I am a bit confused on the decision to add a zanbato on the side that Solum is seemingly intended to go down, however. Maybe it's to reinforce it even more? RIP Sagiita

Heck yeah, let's go
