Started this game on its hardest setting, its quite a challenge for sure!
Fighting in enemy castles or defending yours is worth doing to grind support, particularly for weak characters in classic as nobody dies. Nobody gets experience though, so I generally just visit their castle instead to get the resources and mooch around in their shops!
I only recently realised just how vital pairing people up is (well, especially opposite gender, besides Niles, who is currently my avatar's sultry sexy husband!), wherever possible -- mainly in Conquest, at least.Fighting in enemy castles or defending yours is worth doing to grind support, particularly for weak characters in classic as nobody dies. Nobody gets experience though, so I generally just visit their castle instead to get the resources and mooch around in their shops!
At first it seems dumb to HALVE how many active attacking characters you have on a map (or at least, halving how many ENEMIES you're actively attacking, since in a pair both players will usually attack), but if you play it right, your pair is usually impervious, meaning you can often just sit one pair alone as it takes on a horde of enemies during their turn. This of course means your pair will fall in love and produce offspring which open up the paralogues for the generation of extra vital XP, which is the name of the game.
I know, it's obvious to long time fans but Awakening was my first game and was much easier and more 'mindless' than Fates' Conquest.
Also, is there any real purpose to capturing bosses? I caught one and feel no need to add them to my usual roster. I just wonder whether it's more valuable to give the kill to a lesser character I want to foster... I guess it depends on how valuable you think the bosses are... anyone playing Conquest have any insight into great captureable bosses?
The list of possibles:
Haitaka
Kumagera (I've already caught and successfully persuaded)
Lloyd
Llewelyn
Nichol
Candace (currently thinking about her)
Tarba
Funke
Daichi
Gazak
Senno
Zhara

Haitaka is really useful on Conquest because he is pretty much your earliest user of Rally Defence.
Yeah, shame I didn't really learn about capturing until chapter 10! So annoying. (I had the prison but didn't know I could actually make use of it already, thanks to Niles.)
Sometimes I feel like the game could just go that ONE step further explaining basic strategies here and there. I mean I get that it has a manual and occasional hints, and doesn't want to overexplain everything, but for relative newbies there's a lot to take in and remember, and a little extra nudge here and there, maybe while roaming your castle, wouldn't go astray? (Like, instead of recycled convo from Niles about how cute I am, how about "Don't forget I have the ability to capture enemies when close enough!" or something.)

Well. it's my first order from GAME
it's just. I was a bit worried about it after seeing Eolz talk about feeling the packaging was getting worse.

Some people have had issues in the past but I don't know if problems are any more common than they are with other stores. Incidentally, the copy I got from GAME was in better condition than the one I got from Nintendo.
Yeah, voice actors we will not hear and the timeline about the half dozen of games we didn't get
They instantly reacted when I sent a cancellation last week. I had the money refunded on my PayPal the next day. If you need help sending a cancellation in German, send me a PM.
Thanks for the offer. They sent the refund earlier today so everything is in order now.

Looks like some stock magically showed up, Media Markt had orders open for a long time yesterday as well.
Yes, Revelations isn't discounted or restricted depending on whether you own one or both of the others. It's the same price and just as accessible for someone who just owns a physical copy of Birthright as it is for someone who bought a physical copy of Birthright and then also downloaded the Conquest campaign as DLC.
It's not out for a few weeks yet though, but if you're playing through both campaigns they'll take at least 20 hours each anyway.
Oh, thanks! I was under the impression we needed to play both to "unlock" Revelations.

Pleasant surprise today: I thought I'd have to wait until June 10th for my second shipment copy of the Collector's Edition, but now I got word it's coming tomorrow. Hyped as hell!
Mine says it is preparing for shipment, but it's coming from Germany so it'll probably be the end of next week before it gets here (UK).
For those who are still looking for the game, prices seem to be going down now to more acceptable levels (110 on eBay).
My second delivery is about to arrive today, originally only ordered it for the free download theme and to make sure that I really get the special edition. Probably the most expensive game I've bought after Broken Sword 5, so hoping it's worth it!
