From Distant Shores (Fire Emblem)

Bandit should die however. Obviously, bad luck may do otherwise, but the bandit do more damage than the archer.

 

[Lon]

Hmm. I think we should actually move Mark 1 Right so we don't get targeted by both brigands. Not to mention, I think we'd need to move 2 up to attack the Right brigand.

Since, If I'm reading the map right. IF we move 1 up. We can get attacked by the forest brigand attacking Lyn.

[X] Mark: 1 right, attack bandit.
[X] Lyn: 1 left, use vulnerary
[X] Minerva: 1 left

The archer can't reach the target right?

 

[Lon]

Actually, Yea. The archer could attack Minerva right now.

Can't recall how much of a negative firing into forests and mountains was though. The archer might only be able to fire at people one square away.

Archer can only fire one square away. Terrain modifier is the same as everyone else.

Also, can I convince you to just have Mark move up instead of right? Right, everyone on the right can reach him anyway, but it will make it harder to help Lyn or have others rejoin him depending on how foes move.

 

[Lon]

I'd rather not move Mark up though because the bandit right next to Lyn has a clear shot at Mark then. So we might get 4 people against him rather than just 3. And we wouldn't even be able to hurt the Brigand anyway moving just 1 up.

 

[Lon]

[X] Mark: 1 up, attack Brigand.
[X] Lyn: 1 left, use vulnerary
[X] Minerva: 1 left

Nevermind, I miscalculated.

Going up, We do have a chance of being attacked by 4 people. But we'll only be able to be hit by 3. So it's a lot less bad than I thought it would be.

Edit: although if we kill the archer. We might get hit by 2 mercenaries.

 

[Megaolix]

But the bandit hit harder than the archer, which is why I want to take him out now.

 

[Lon]

But, we can't attack the bandit if we move up 1?

Played Fire Emblem before? Magic can be used BOTH in melee and one square away.

 

[Lon]

Yes, but you're shooting into a forest. And that provides a Range penalty for All range types.

...What are you talking about?

 

[Lon]

Sigh, nevermind. Played the game gain to make sure. Not sure if woods and forests are the same thing though.

But there used to be a terrain type that caused Ranged abilities like bows and magic to only be able to hit enemies one square away if you were firing into them. To simulate being unable to fire through trees and stuff.

It used to annoy the heck out of me. Because I couldn't abuse the ability to hit enemies 2 squares away so it was pretty dangerous for my archers and mages.

Can't seem to find the specific terrain though.

 

[Adyen]

I'm pretty sure that kind of terrain penalty would only exist in the most ANNOYING version of FE.

So check the one with bloodlines? XP

 

[Lon]

Hmm, probably in Fe 6, 7, or 8 then. Since I only played 6, 7, 8, and awakening.

But yea. forests were murder on my range units. Hated trees so god damned much.
