    Fire Emblem Risk board

    Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help point me in a direction for a project I'm working on. Essentially I want to turn the continental map from the Blades duology into a board game map but I can't find a good enough picture to use. Do any of you have any idea where I could find a higher resolution version of it? Or maybe recommendations on an artist who could recreate it? Thanks

    Ok so this should be okay?

    It's a Dimitri edit I did, I'm pretty sure this doesn't go against any rules, it's edited by me, but obviously the animation is from the game fire emblem three houses

    What characters who don’t have support with each other do you think should have a pairing?

    You ever just look at what characters have support with each other and then see x and x don’t have one and you’re stun locked because you’re absolutely believe they should have one and should even be a possible marriage option in the game ending? For me that be Niles and Kagero or really Niles and any of the ninjas; the fact that he doesn’t talk to the one group who acts in the shadow for their lord just like him is a crime in of it itself but even worse all of them pair well with him.

    Trying to mod Fates with new paragon but cant get it to work, help?

    So, trying to make a simple mod with fates to add sword/ katana proficiency to malig knight on the 3ds. Managed to do so with old paragon but also need to add an animation for sword attacks. Trying to set it up with new paragon but for some reason things such as class jids and stats are not showing up properly? tried to mod in the changes i wanted as it was but it's not working, the game is still just using the default mercenary attack animation for swords. Assuming im doing something very wrong but im not sure what? I was told my game dump might be corrupted so trying to get another currently, but not sure if it would be any different to how im doing it now. Got my game dump directly from my installed game. Any thoughts? The picture is what im seeing when i open up New paragon and try to go into the class window. Worth noting is ive done some previous modding of my game in the past, could this be affecting my dump?

    FE Conquest Chapter 10 Lunatic *SHRIEKS* What is this?!!!

    I just want to marry Male Corrin with Niles and play with Elise and Felicia in same party in a Lunatic difficulty file. Is that too much to ask? I canNOT with this chapter. Camilla and Effie paired with Arthur can't take them all out by themselves. Some of the units won't even attack Camilla even when she's in range. They'll just stand there. I turned my Corrin into a Diviner cuz I wanted a strong magic user and also maybekindapartly for rp reasons, but now I'm thinking maybe it would've been better to have him stay as a Nohr Prince so he could tank with Dragonstone. He does fine at the right side with all the archers with Silas and Felicia though.

    I guess the big issue is the overwhelming amount of units rushing to the green squares in the last 2-3 turns. Someone is going to die. I don't want to promote Elise yet :(

    Does anyone else generally dislike this map layout?

    This is the layout for chapter 15, dancer of the ruins map in FE Engage. I personally dislike the layout of the map because it’s tedious to move through and that the units you place in the front of the group will take most the hits which makes unit building difficult on the map. I’ve always had a general dislike for this map and its layout.

    [Fates] If I have Corrin friendship Selena and marry Arthur, what will be the skill priority when she levels up and gains them in Hero?

    Other example: If a unit friendships Silas and marries Effie, what will be the order of skills after leveling Great Knight? Will you get 2 skills each time you level?

    How would Corrin and the people of Hoshido be if they found out that Garon was publicly executed?

    It must be remembered that Nohr is based on a politics that relies too much on fear and has cartoonishly evil people as rulers.

    Literally that country suffering from wars and internal battles makes perfect sense if you have someone, like Lago or Hans in positions of power.

    We even helped a revolution of deserting soldiers in the chapter where we recruited Scarlet.

    So imagining occasional coup attempts happening is a solid possibility.

    FE:E [and my only complaint]

    So, I love Engage and I've played it SEVERAL times, multiple playthroughs, and MANY hours. It's one of my favourite FE games (second to Sacred Stones and the PoR/RD series) but my one and only complaint about the game is the fact that it takes forever to get to where you can freely reclass units. Comparing it to 3H, where it was a click of a button to reclass, I'm not the biggest fan of waiting until a good chunk into it just to reclass. I love doing stupid class playthroughs (like in 3H, I made Hubert the dancer because fuck it) and that's what draws me BACK to a FE game after I've beaten it once or twice. But with Engage, I'll start a new game with the intent of doing stupid reclass changes but then quickly get reminded that I can't do it as freely/easily as I want and then stop the playthrough and drop the game.

    On a side note, if anyone has any ideas how to bypass this slump I'd greatly appreciate it!

    When are Hits and Crits calculated?

    Playing Binding blade on an emulator, doing a bit of save-scumming. When does the game calculate Hits? Does killing edge f.ex. have a hardcoded crit on the second attack?

    Im doing a playthrough of the franchise, can someone let me know how promotions work?

    Hello! So i've seen a lot of people give a lot of different advice for promotions, obviously depending on the game so I just want to know which games to do what in? I've already beaten shadow dragon the blade of light, and I'm currently about halfway through Gaiden. My strat for gaiden is to promote my lords when they hit level 20, and everyone else when it's available, which seems to be the general advice, even though im not too sure why

    So basically, what games do I do what in and why? How do the promotions (And thusly stat growth/stats) work? is there any stand-out units that require something specific? I don't really like getting fucked over by requiring player knowledge that you have no way of knowing or an unexplained promotion system and gimping my playthrough

    Thanks for reading

    So you're telling me that Nohr basically has access to parallel dimensions where time passes faster than normal and they don't use it for anything other than for children to grow up and become adults?

    I think those areas could be used for crops, since in a few weeks everything you plant there will grow.

    It's like that dimension Rick Sanchez used to ferment wine.

    Yes, management would be hell and so would time control, but if you do well, you have food resources pretty quickly, as well as being able to speed up the creation of things that would have taken months, a few hours, or weeks before.

    Yes, this is applicable to Hoshido as well, but Nohr given its situation should be the one who took the most advantage of those dimensions.
