Thats the boat and flyers one right?

What I did is wait for them to charge at the middle storm area, and then I pulled a fighting retreat back to the starting area storm. I concentrated most of my forces on the top side (where the boss comes from) and waited for when the boss + all the promoted flyers moved onto the actual boat area. I then counterattacked, killing both the boss and any other promoted flyers in a single turn. Don't be afraid to use Reina to take the boss or malig knight out. If you make sure everyone is in guard pairs and grouped up you should be able to survive all the lesser enemies trying to kill you. Especially since they'll focus on Reina and Takumi who are both pretty tough.

Meanwhile I had a smaller group on the bottom side of the boat continuing to pull a fighting retreat vs the bottom group of flyers. By utilizing the storm area two guard pairs where able to fend off the entire bottom flyer group for about 5ish turns, which gave my other group plenty of time to clean up the top group. Once the top group was finished, taking out the rest with my entire team was pretty simple.

This was on hard classic with no farming, so it should work unless you're playing lunatic.

I just hung out in the starting area storm and archered the hell out of them. I'm pretty sure everything in that map is flying, and you have at least three archers at this point.

Anyone manage to clear Birthright 12 without losing half their army?

Quick Question about Birthright: Are the 'challenges' infinitely spawning missions acting as the main grinding venue? Or are they finite like the Castle Defense missions in Conquest?

I think I understand that Scouting is infniite grinding, but it costs money, so unless you're turning a profit then it's not infinite, do I have that correct?

Flyer+Corrin. Move to end point. Win.

You only need Corrin to escape, so its really simple if you just pair him with a flyer. If you want to clear everything, good luck. Xander is pretty much invincible unless you've been grinding like crazy.

Though you can get the treasure without fighting Xander or most of the enemies if you move fast enough. The outlaw standing next to it will swipe the treasure but he will still advance and attack you, so you just need to get in his range and murder him.

They show up again daily.

The question was about clearing the map. Beating the mission takes a turn and is trivial, killing everyone... not so much. Xander wasn't too bad, but the other guy... he sorta butchered half my dudes when I tried to take him on. Did kill him, but the price was too high, so I loaded and skipped him on the second go around.

Yeah. After Xander one-shot one of my guys on my first try and I noped out of there. I don't even want to think about trying to kill Garon.

Based on the difficulty of the following levels it seems the designers didn't expect the player to clear much of the level anyway, so completionism seems to be the only real reason to do so.

[Kanil]

It's not so much about completionism as is it is about putting those overconfident jerks in their place... ... with lots of arrows. Xander laughing about how dead your retainers are, only to find himself getting carted off by his plot armor without accomplishing anything, that sort of thing.

Since we don't have an Advance Wars topic and I don't feel like making one, I figured this would be the best spot to ask; are any of you at all good at Advance Wars? I'm usually reasonably good at Fire Emblem but somehow I'm absolutely terrible at Advance Wars. Maybe I'm just used to Fire Emblem?

[SOLDIER First]

Oh man, Advance Wars was the shit.
_{I mean, Days of Ruin was.
Probably. I forgot.}

[Sirus]

Eh, the two series are very different beasts. About the only things in common are that they're both turn-based tactics on a movement grid.

I LOVED Advance Wars... up until the point where I could tell with certainty that the AI cheats. That completely killed it for me. Like "Just think of the wabbits now" blew it's brains out completely, that's how bad my interest got killed.  What's the point of a Strategy game if your opponent is allowed to just ignore the rules whenever it wants?

[SOLDIER First]

Getting good enough to beat it regardless?

[JoshuaFH]

Here's the thing, the game's world was set up in such a way that all of it's rules are hard and strict, and I was enjoying plumbing the depths of it's strategery. Then, arbitrarily, it just broke one in the AI's advantage, and it broke my heart. Like a loved one cheating on you, I couldn't forgive it, because now I NEVER know when it's gonna arbitrarily break the rules, and every strategy I could ever build collapses under the weight of that uncertainty. That just killed the relationship for me completely.

[Tawa]

What did it do to cheat?
