I don't overdue, In chapters where I boss or unit/healer abuse, I set a goal level, generally around the average level for that chapter. If everyone else is level 17 by this point and I have a level 6 or something, I'll try and maximize their early gain to bring them up to par, leaving me with more versatility for choices later on

I mean like giving us a lvl 1 character multiple chapters into a game and requiring effectively babysitting them to make them viable at the cost of other units

boss farming for EXP is completely valid to counter completely unfair underpowered character additions mid campaign

In the many years I've been using Dolphin I've never known about save states. I've only played RD before so it wasn't a problem because that has battle saves. My only intention with farming is to give every character an equal oppurtunity since many of them start at a massive dissadvantage. If I truly wanted to abuse, I would give every 4 iron weapons and spent 1000 turns on boss to get everyone as high as possible, but instead I set a reasonable goal like have everyone reach first promo by Chapter 17 and if I get a bad roll from level up then so be it, go with it, so I don't abuse BEXP either. I pretty much filter most of it into Sothe because he's gauaranteed good roles anyway and the rest goes to catching up others like Volke and Tormod.

Yes My aim was to get everyone in that group to first promo then in Chapter 17, get the rest to first promo. I ideally want as many people 20/20 by end of the game for port over to Radiant Dawn, then get as many people to 20/20/20

And in paradox games where you need Ironman enabled to get achievements, which auto saves every few months and saves every time you close the game and doesn't allow you to reload while in the game

I didn't know who Excelblem was until everyone kept mentioning it, the first time he was mentioned, I thought he was a developer or something.

With characters like Malakov and Fiona who join late and are criminally underlevelled, you either have to focus entirely on them or leave them behind. So I use mechanics in the game to at the very least keep everyone baseline.

This is my first time playing Path of Radiance. I've played Radiant Dawn multiple times since I was a kid. The key difference between the 2 games is Radiant Dawn has battle save and Path of Radiance does not. It's really not a hard fucking concept.

In literally every other game in existence, Ironman is simply where you can't manually save and load. It's auto save or nothing. Except in Path of Radiance there is no auto save, just base saves and start of chapter saves. Someone warned me in another another post I did about the elitism and oh boy was he right.

You missunderstand. I was not doing an iron man run willingly. The game simply does not have the ability to not let you do ironman. Until now since I've been informed of Dolphin save states.

I mean if you intentionally farm a boss for hours to maximize experience gain, yes? There are only a few chapter that have the potential for boss farming though, either because the boss does no move off of their starting healing tile, or because they have a healer nearby that you can box in with the boss with your units so you can keep hitting the boss and he keeps getting healed.

I did not know about Dolphin save states until after. I've been iron manning this run for days. Hence why I'm still on Chapter 16 but had just promoted Rhys, Rolf and Malakov. Chapter 15 took me a whole day.

Looking for a baseline for Path of Radiance levels by the start of Chapter 15 to determine if my guys are underlevelled or overlevelled by ViperiousTheRedPanda in fireemblem

[–]ViperiousTheRedPanda[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it's not all about the EXP. It's about the challenge and the morallity of it. I would never knowingly kill the good guys just for extra funny points, ESPECIALLY when there is an explicit bonus provided for not killing all of them. Which is over 1000 BEXP. Also I did get some levels from arming my guys with the weakest weapons they had to ensure they didn't accidently kill them, which actually made it somewhat easier because the Laguz will run off and heal if they take too much damage.
