Bold = correct.
Correct answers:

Mauk - Guy
Kreatz - Matthew
Anthony Higgs - Oswin
Admiral Dane - Marcus
Armstrong Houston - Eliwood
Adam Malkovich - Hector
Ghor - Bartre
Gandrayda - Serra
Ridley - Boss
That went so well until Erk died. I had to split up Guy and Matthew; Matthew handled the enemies and chests like a pro, despite nearly dying, while Guy one-shotted the boss. Oswin solo'd most of the southern forces without a problem. Marcus and Eliwood handled most of the boss' entourage, despite Eliwood nearly dying as well. Hector did crazy multi-tasking, and Bartre... Bartre did his best to hold off the enemies on the left, despite ALSO nearly dying and needing to be rescued by Hector. Thankfully, had Serra nearby to heal him.
I'll probably have a few more contests like this throughout the playthrough, though I think you're the only one who even reads these posts and thus will ever participate in any of them. <_< [/spoiler]

Oh hey, it's my fucking units. Finally. Now this playthrough can really get started.
ahahahaha this chapter is so easy
nothing is even a slight threat
even classicwood isn't having a problem
it's just- oh hey there cavaliers. Kent, Sain, you're up!
...
........................
well, THAT went worse than expected.
I assumed that Kent and Sain were worth one generic cavalier each. How foolish of me.
Restart.
Goddammit, Wil. Restart.
Goddammit, Wil. Restart.
Dodge, you cowards! Ugh. I am way too used to, "ahaha I'm on a forest, your hit rate is now effectively 0 no matter what you do." Restart.
Classicwood not willing to let the other -woods out-classic him. Restart.
.......Okay, fuck you, game. It's time to get serious.
...
When a fight is just plain wrong,
We all sing the curbstomp song
People dying left and right,
It's a SLAUGHTER, not a fight!
I don't know what happened, but I somehow managed to just destroy the entire enemy forces without expending any effort whatsoever. Maybe because I decided not to fight the enemy from the forests, but from a barricade three squares wide between the village of the cliff. It worked much, much better, because I didn't have to contend with as many enemies as once, and could wipe out more enemies per turn.
All right, the REAL chapter begins now. Cue enemy reinforcements. Two cavaliers per turn. These guys are the only threatening part of the whole level. I'm not going to throw Kent and Sain at them, or Oswin and Marcus, or any other combination like that. No. Other approaches have failed, so we're falling back to the old standby of throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks. ENTIRE PARTY, PREPARE TO MEET ENEMY REINFORCEMENTS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
Okay, took care of those bastards. Now I've just gotta run that ballista out of ammo, and... okay, great. Lure out the mage and archer... awesome. Now, kill the boss with... sure, go for it Eliwood. You've been surprisingly competent lately.
Now to support grind. Got:
Kent/Sain C
Guy/Matthew A
Oswin/Serra B
Hector/Florina C
Lyn/Eliwood C
Also super-charged a lot of those so I can get the next one immediately, in the next chapter.
yay. That wasn't so bad.
Chapter 17 - Turnabout Unknown
All right, guys, our client is Lucius. He's been falsely imprisoned by... **** if I can remember the plot for this chapter, and I've been skipping all the dialogue, so yeah. CLASSIC ELIWOOD - ACE ATTORNEY is on the case!
So, my basic plan here is to rush the hell out of the level with Kent and Sain, who now have a B support and thus should be... moderately safe, I think/hope. And it actually goes pretty well, until the thief steals a Silver Sword and it doesn't drop on his death. But oh well, let's just keep playing and see what happens!
...why can't Eliwood or Hector recruit Raven.
......oh fuck you game. You're really gonna make me bring Priscilla along? Goddammit. I hate you, game.
Okay, well... I can just drop Serra for Priscilla. Not a huge deal, alth-
Oh fuck, the reinforcements. Right. I forgot. Okay, that IS a problem.
........maaaan. How am I ever gonna do this. [/spoiler]

Okay, new strat. Serra is out, Priscilla is in. Oswin and Marcus are going to help make the initial push against the enemy forces, then retreat and protect Merlinus. It's a waste of EXP, but... whatever, I am so far beyond caring.
We rush, rush, rush through the castle.
Matthew: I'm gonna make it to the treasure in time!
Raven: HOLD IT! *presents "Steel Sword"* TAKE THAT!
Matthew: OBJECTION! *presents "Iron Sword"*
Raven: Ack!
I am so glad Matthew didn't kill him in retaliation.
Raven: I WILL have my revenge against Ostia!
Eliwood: (There's nothing I can do... I'm all out of evidence!)
Boss: *shakes head* Well, Mr. Eliwood, if that's all, I hereby pronounce the defendent, Lucius, GUIL-
Priscilla: *bursts into room* HOLD IT! *Pursuit ~ Cornered starts playing*
Raven: What?!
...Yeah I'm not really sure where I was going with that, so I'm just gonna cut it there. Anyway. I couldn't make it in time to stop the thief from getting the Silver Sword. I honestly have no idea how you could possibly stop him before he gets it, without abusing Marcus way too much. I deemed this an acceptable loss, and I got all the other treasure, which was, IIRC, a Knight Crest, a Hero Crest, and an Unlock Staff. That Knight Crest is gonna be put to use really, really soon; Oswin is like... level 16 or 17.
Recruited Raven, recruited Lucius, killed all the enemies, TRIED to give Raven some EXP since I do plan on using him, but Hector and Sain kept being jerks and critting enemies on <10% chances. Goddammit. Sain even took a Heavy Spear and one-shotted the boss by critting.
I only saved one soldier. JUST AS PLANNED. I swear. I didn't even want to save the other two. I'M NOT UPSET ABOUT THIS AT ALL, SHUT UP. [/spoiler]

You rush Marcus to that room and hope he can survive the trip. Which is by no means guaranteed, in fact, it requires a lot of luck!

You will never find a more wretched hive of RNG and piracy.
Deployment: Hector, Lyn, Kent, Sain, Serra, Raven
First attempt, I accidentally aggro'd all of Fargus' pirates on turn 1, along with Damien and his units. It didn't go very well. I think Sain died immediately after Horseslayering the boss (for a pitiful 13 damage each hit, wtf is up with that), and Kent followed shortly after. I kept playing for the lulz, and eventually had to send Raven (level 7) to hold a chokepoint against about 12 pirates with assorted weaponry, plus a bunch of other guys.
Raven proceeded to kill every single pirate without getting hit even once. At which point the mage, the last unit remaining that hadn't moved, just stared at Raven for a couple seconds, went "Fuck this shit!", and killed Lyn, who was behind Raven. I swear, it was like something out of a movie. Raven is so pro.
Okay, second attempt, this time NOT aggroing all of Fargus' pirates turn 1.
Yeah, that went much better. Killed off Damien's group and all the pirates who DID charge me. Now just have to deal with the much more threatening group of three pirates with strong weapons + Killer Bow archer + Nosferatu shaman + Elfire mage. I set Lyn on a tree and let them all take a swing at her. They all missed. Time for clean up. Killed off the three pirates (Canas had to take one out, despite the waste of boss-like EXP), just leaving the magic users and the archer. Then, barely managed to kill the shaman.
...Oh god. Kent just missed the Elfire mage. And got fried in retaliation. There is nothing I can do unless Hector manages to Handaxe that mage on a 47% chance.
Hector: Never tell me the odds!
HECTOR - MVP!
The Killer Bow archer misses Kent. FUCK YEAH. Chapter over.
So yeah, all things considered, that was actually really easy. At least my one loss was to legit difficulty, though, not just me being dumb. That might put it ahead of like... Chapter 11, maybe.
...AND I FORGOT TO SUPPORT GRIND on both this chapter AND the last chapter. Dammit. That was fundamental to my plans for the upcoming chapters. oh god. whyyy did i forget to do that.
Chapter 18 - Pile of ****
Pirate Ship, eh? That means axe users! TIME TO DEPLOY MY SWORD USERS.
Deployment: Hector, Eliwood, Lyn, Serra, Raven, Guy, Matthew, Florina
*actually looks at chapter*
ahahahahahahahahahahaha what
okay, this is gonna go poorly. oh god. I can't think of anything I could say that could possibly sum this up better than what xp said:
Post-Turn 1 Enemy Phase First Reaction: oh my god how did i survive that
Post-Turn 1 Enemy Phase Second Reaction: oh my god how am i going to survive
fucking eliwood and lynwood. I hate you both. How ****ing hard is it to hold off an infinite number of enemies indefinitely? Goddamn.
New deployment: Hector, Kent, Sain, Serra, Raven, Guy, Matthew, Florina
Okay, much bet-
goddammit, kent and sain
Okay, new plan. I managed to beat the chapter... with casualities, but this let me see that I actually have a lot of time. I could get to the boss on like... turn 8 or 9, which means I can stay behind and defend for a lot longer than I thought before attempting to push back against the enemies. I also learned that killing the boss ends the chapter instantly, which is great to know.
Hey, new plan: why don't we actually make use of those chokepoints they provide for us? Awesome. This is a much more risk free way of doing things. <_<
Matthew gets the Elysian Whip. I managed to fend off the initial waves, as well as the 45 billion Pegasus Knights that arrive as reinforcements, mostly by abusing Handaxes/Javelins. Really, that's the only way I could figure out to defeat the shamans/archers without being destroyed/wasting too much time.
Pegasus Knights are no longer my favorite class, by the way. Fuck you, Pegasus Knights.
Time to push towards the boss. AWESOME THINGS I DID:
1. Hector was at 3 HP and I decided not to heal him or use a vulnerary. Because that's just how I roll.
2. Let Raven solo entire waves of Pegasus Knights, as well as the entire ship that arrives on turn 7 or 8 or whenever.
3. Left Serra in enemy range intentionally. That is also how I roll.
Anyway, long story short, I was completely on track to steal from the boss and kill him on like... turn 9. I didn't think I could survive against the reinforcements, so I wanted to end the chapter ASAP.
Hey Raven, go kill that merc.
Raven: Okay, no prob-OH GOD THE PAIN
...did. did raven just get criticaled down to 11 HP on a 2% chance. when i was counting on him to hold off all the enemies from that entire ship.
...............................
ALL STATIONS, FALL BACK. COMMENCE EMERGENCY RESCUE. HECTOR TO RAVEN'S POSITION, RESCUE AND HOLD THE CHOKEPOINT UNTIL HELP ARRIVES. KENT, SAIN, DROP EVERYTHING AND GET BACK HERE. SERRA, FALL BACK AND JOIN GUY, MATTHEW, AND FLORINA. MATTHEW, GUY, FORGET ABOUT ATTACKING THE BOSS, FOCUS ON HOLDING OUT AGAINST THE REINFORCEMENTS. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
oh god. i have no idea how i survived that. ****ing Florina is so goddamn useless. She came underleveled to start with, being only like... level 8 out of Lyn's mode, and now she's level 11, still with only 8 ATK and like 22 HP. And not enough Spd, Luk, Def, OR Res for me to let her solo ANYTHING. So useless.
...
Final turn. Matthew steals the Guiding Ring. Guy, take out the boss. 45% crit, sounds good to me!
Guy hits with Killing Edge. No crit.
Boss retaliates with Luna. Hit, no crit.
Guy hits with Killing Edge. No crit.
...................fuck.
Boss: You fought well, but it all ends here. LUNASDFGHJKLKRKLKSD *falls over with lance through head*
Florina: Hello.
......................................
FLORINA
GREATEST OF ALL TIME
SINGLEHANDEDLY SAVING MY SORRY ASS
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
.......
I'm going to celebrate this by playing a few rounds of Impegasiable Knight!

Um.
So.
After Pirate Ship, I saved in a different slot than usual, because I thought I might run out of weapons during 19/19x/19xx and might have to reload from the Pirate Ship. And now I'm wondering if doing that somehow, like... set the difficulty back down to normal. Because this chapter is a piece of cake. It's not hard at all.
My strategy:
Oswin and Marcus (really just Oswin) solo the NE island, mostly to cut off the Pegasus Knight reinforcements and kill some Nomads.
Meanwhile, Lyn and Raven hold the middle island for a while, until either the main team advances far enough to cut off the line for reinforcements, or the enemies diminish in number to a point where Raven and Lyn can solo them.
Meanwhile, Hector, Matthew, Guy, Kent, and Sain will be tackling the southern island. My strategy involved stacking bonuses. Support bonuses and terrain bonuses, mostly. That is, we hopped from tree to tree in pairs, except Hector, who is so hardcore that he doesn't NEED any bonuses!
I did lose Kent once to me being a fool, but yeah, this really isn't hard at all. Eliwood solo'd all the pirate reinforcements. Florina recruited Fiora (these two have basically identical stats, except Fiora has ~7 points less Luck and is 5 levels lower - thanks for that, Florina!).
So basically, I wipe out every enemy on the map by turn 7 or 8, and then try to determine how to kill the boss. Guy seems like my best bet, but he would need to double crit. At this point, I do something really stupid and waste SO MUCH TIME trying to figure out how to fight this boss, that by the time I start making any serious effort towards it, it's turn 14. Yeah, I fucked up BIG TIME. You'd think that during that time, I could have like... moved Lyn close enough to attack, or brought in some fliers to rescue my characters, but no. Oh well. I launch a full attack, and... screw up. The boss survives.
Quick question: You've got one turn left before you need to restart, if even that. The boss is about to move, you have no way to kill him, and he can one-shot every character he can reach. What do you do?
Why, you win, of course.
Serra: Eliwood's being surprisingly competent... Matthew steals everything and is basically a walking god... Guy criticals anything that moves... Raven is amazing despite being underleveled... Lyn can use the Mani Katti, Oswin and Hector are completely unstoppable, and even Florina killed the boss last chapter when no one else could! ...Dammit, I'm the highest leveled one here! It's time I showed everyone what I can really do! I am more than just a healer... I am Serra, and I will NOT be denied! NOW SLEEP!
*Uhai falls asleep*
*on a 14% chance*
that probably ranks up there with the greatest moments I've ever experienced, in ANY Fire Emblem game.
Needless to say, we destroyed the boss next turn. It's gaiden chapter time. [/spoiler]

We're fighting a Remnant of Sephiroth. Let's do this.
Deployment (8/8): Cid, Rude, Reno, Aerith, Biggs, Wedge, Barret, Vincent
Barret's on Bugenhagen duty. We need to rush through the level as quick as possible to make it to Kadaj in time. In addition, the boss has a Silver Card that Reno will have to steal.
oh god. so many magic users. and I'm so ill-equipped to fight them.
I somehow make it to the map's end in time... or so I think. I wipe out the other Remnants and prepare to attack Kadaj. I don't have time to kill the real boss first, so hopefully he'll be inaccurate with his Bolting. All right, we attack Kadaj next turn!
...
Oh, I see. Kadaj flees on turn 13, not after turn 13. Well then.
restart.
Deployment (8/8): Cid, Rude, Reno, Aerith, Biggs, Wedge, Shera, Vincent
New plan: Shera's my only unit with decent RES, so I'm going to use her to try to wipe out some mages early on and clear a path. This is just a test run, so Bugenhagen gets fried pretty quick.
restart. this plan has promise, though.
This time, Biggs is on Bugenhagen duty while Wedge leads the charge against the main enemy forces. I don't know why I thought this was a good idea. Shera's still fighting mages... poorly.
...Okay, I'm never gonna make it in time. New plan: Shera grabs Cid and drops him near Kadaj. Cid wipes out Kadaj's henchmen while the rest of the team breaks the main enemy forces. Shera retreats to help Biggs with the mage reinforcements. Everyone else converges on Kadaj.
............goddammit. Couldn't kill Kadaj. Kadaj flees.
restart.
This time I'm NOT being dumb. Vincent stays behind to fight the entirety the mage reinforcements by sitting on a fort to block one reinforcement per turn. Biggs and Wedge advance together for support bonuses. Shera hangs around to help Cid kill Kadaj's henchmen via support bonuses. Cid also draws a few more knights this time, so the rest of the party has an easier time breaking the main force.
Silver Card stolen. Couldn't kill the boss before having to deal with Kadaj.
.............****ing forgot to move Vincent one turn and attack a reinforcement, so Bugenhagen gets killed. Goddammit. Fuck you, I'm not restarting over that. Maybe if I had actually been outplayed, but that was just me being dumb, and now I have to live with the consequences.
Battle with Kadaj commences now. Rude fails to crit the boss with his Killing Edge, so I trade it to Wedge. Wedge then deals 36 damage to Kadaj in a single hit and destroys him.
WEDGE - HERO OF AVALANCHE!
Aerith promotes. Shera flies Biggs away so the boss can't target him with Bolting. Boss wastes his Bolting. Wedge then kills the boss despite me trying to give the kill to Shera. Goddammit.
And yes, we got the Goddess Icon from Rufus Shinra. No need to worry about that.
Same deal as last time, except it's probably way easier this time:
Cid - ???
Rude - ???
Reno - ???
Aerith - ???
Biggs - ???
Wedge - ???
Barret - ???
Shera - ???
Vincent - ???
Bugenhagen - ???
Kadaj - ???
Rufus - ???
Because this is easier, the shrines awarded are different. You get 5 shrines per correct answer, or 600 if you get them all correct. Contest ends in 24 hours. <_< [/spoiler]

Also, by the way, if you can defeat Aion (the boss) before Kishuna flees, Kishuna will stick around permanently (until you attack him, obviously.)

Who do I drop for either of them? Not my fault FE7 doesn't allow me to field a reasonable number of units. Also, Eliwood and Lyn have basically identical stats right now, and support each other, so even if I were to field one of them, it would be a total toss-up. <_<;
Also, by the way, if you can defeat Aion (the boss) before Kishuna flees, Kishuna will stick around permanently (until you attack him, obviously.)

Tell me you're joking.

That said, I think beating the boss in 13 turns might actually be harder than beating Kishuna in 13 turns. <_< [/spoiler]

Once upon a midnight dreary, a fog of war had made me leary,
Due to the frequent bullshit that I had experienced before
Quickly I made my party's moves, fully intending to prove
That I wasn't some stupid n00b, but a player who is hardcore
"I'm no casual," I muttered, "I am definitely hardcore -
Only that, and nothing more."
The enemy thieves then made their dashes, and with Iron Swords their lashes,
And each strike hit one of my many units to their core,
Eagerly I cursed the chapter; - vainly I had sought to master
Hector Hard Mode, even faster - than xp had done before,
For the precious bragging rights which I had often wished to score
Still unfound, for evermore.
Soon my vulneraries were nabbed, and my Silver Card was grabbed
From my thief, in disbelief, just as he had done before!
And then Serra, just promoted, was struck down, and thus demoted
"This is bullshit, this is awful, this is dumb and not hardcore!
This is bullshit, this is awful, this is dumb and not hardcore!
That it is, and nothing more."
Just then my resolve was inflated, and my temper had abated,
"So," said I, "Now I know just what exactly I'm in for.
This chapter can indeed by mastered, and I'll do it even faster,
Now that I know just what bastards hide beyond the fog of war.
Thieves are there, and something more."
In the battle preparations peering, and this chapter, no longer fearing,
Doubtless, choosing choices I hadn't dared to choose before,
Matthew I had made defenseless, and Sain I chose though he was Kentless,
But these choices were not senseless; they were nothing but hardcore,
This I understood, and soon the boss would know just how hardcore,
Chapter start, and nothing more.
Back into the war-fog charging, through the main doors we were barging,
Soon again we faced the thieves, but more prepared than before,
We had no vulneraries to steal, and our hearts were filled with zeal,
All the thieves could do was feel our weapons as we evened up the score -
Oh, we struck with swords and lances and we evened up the score -
Only that, and nothing more.
Back we stole the precious treasure, repaid their greed in equal measure,
Dodging Eclipses, fighting wyverns, and soon the boss had hit the floor,
Not to Raven, Lyn, or Guy, not Serra, Hector, Sain - no lie
But, of all our lords and ladies, 'twas Eliwood that was hardcore!
Fought the boss the best of all them, and proved that he was hardcore!
Seized the throne, and nothing more. [/spoiler]

-Sain reached 20 and was promoted.
-Matthew reached 20. I'm probably still going to deploy him because he's just way too strong for me to leave behind, and also, he's kinda necessary, being a thief and all.
-Lyn/Eliwood reaches A rank. Sain/Serra reaches C rank.
-Serra got an S rank in Staves. Unfortunate, but to be honest, I knew this was gonna happen from the beginning.
I think that's everything.
Chapter 20 - Welcome to Our Execution
-Sold the Eclipse tome from last chapter for 2000 gold. Because, really, is there any other use for it?
-Raven got a Goddess Icon to help with his miserable Luck.
All right, on with the chapter. The nice thing is that we're allowed a full deploy here. In fact, I don't think I even used all my deployment slots. Anyway, we've got four objectives here:
1. Disregard nomads; acquire Legault.
2. Steal Xcution Member Card.
3. Take all the treasure that Legault doesn't take.
4. Level up Florina.
First attempt... doesn't go so well, mainly because I tried to cut off Legault and the Member Card thief in the boss' chamber, and they just blew right past me before I could reach them.
Second attempt, took the far left route through the narrow corridors. Managed to block off both thieves. Legault GET, Member Card GET. Killed every enemy (that Killer Bow archer is evil and I don't like him), killed the boss, TRIED to give the boss to Florina but Hector critted him instead, wasting about half the EXP. Hector hits level 20.
I fed Florina a lot of mages, and managed to get a point of Strength out of it, bringing her up to 9. Which might not seem like a lot, but basically, her worth to me has now doubled. The points of Spd I got also help. Anyway.
Got Sain/Serra B rank, Serra/Oswin A rank, and Lyn/Florina C rank. Basically, maxed out most of my characters, support-wise. I really should have done Florina/Ninian B rather than Florina/Lyn B, though, so I could do Kent/Lyn B, but oh well. Kent might not even be a permanent member of the team. Really, really wish Raven could support with ANYONE I use. But oh well.
Matthew visited the Xcution HQ with his Member and Silver Cards.
Kugo Ginjou: The purpose of Xcution... is to restore your Assassin powers.
Matthew: !
...And then Matthew bought a Physic Staff and quite a few Killer weapons, because I am seriously almost out of weapons, and I can't remember when the next shop is. I mean, I know there's one next chapter, but I can't be sure I'll even have a chance to use it.
Team Update in next post, after my DS has finished charging. [/spoiler]

Hector
Level 20 EXP --
HP: 36
STR: 19
SKL: 11
SPD: 11
Luck: 10
DEF: 17
RES: 4
Weapon Rank(s): Axes - A
Support(s): Florina - A, Eliwood - B
Comments: Hector is probably my all around best character, although his usefulness is going to diminish fast now that he can't gain any more levels for a long time. His movement also hurts him, and his supports aren't the best, but oh well.
VS xp's Hector: I think I lose in just about everything except Strength, but I win by enough in Strength that it doesn't bother me too much. <_<
Eliwood
Level 15 EXP 60
HP: 29
STR: 13
SKL: 13
SPD: 16
Luck: 11
DEF: 9
RES: 3
Weapon Rank(s): Swords - A
Support(s): Lyn - A, Hector - B
Comments: Awesome is all I can say. Might be one of the better Eliwoods I've ever had, though it's rare that I actually use him, so take that with a grain of salt.
VS xp's Eliwood: Pretty sure my Eliwood runs circles around his. Literally. That 16 Spd is insane. Singlehandedly makes Eliwood one of my better units, I think.
Lyn
Level 14 EXP 61
HP: 33
STR: 11
SKL: 16
SPD: 18
Luck: 13
DEF: 3
RES: 3
Weapon Rank(s): Swords - A
Support(s): Eliwood - A, Florina - C
Comments: Lyn has been thoroughly disappointing this playthrough, at least relative to how awesome she usually is. She basically needs to dodge everything thrown at her to survive, and really, she's not even that good at dodging (roughly on par with Eliwood, who can actually take a few hits as well).
VS xp's Lyn: xp got the best Lyn I've ever seen. No way does mine even come close, even when factoring in mine being 6 levels lower.
Serra
Level 20/3 EXP 43
HP: 28
STR: 13
SKL: 13
SPD: 17
Luck: 16
DEF: 8

VS. xp's Guy: Hard to say considering the level difference. I think my Guy certainly has the potential to end up better at level 18, but he could also get like four levels in a row of just Skl. Wouldn't be the first time.

Comments: I said that I was more worried about early game, and I stand by that. The more recent chapters have been a cakewalk compared to the earlier ones, and it was largely Matthew who got me through those. I wasn't kidding when I said that he was one of my absolute strongest units for a long, long time, so his diminishing value doesn't bother me too much.
VS. xp's Matthew: xp's wins. Period. You might not think so, but then you remember that I gave Matthew an Energy Ring. Again, no regrets there whatsoever because it made him so ****ing useful early on, but still, it's hard for me to say xp's doesn't win here.

Comments: Factoring in supports, movement, and the number of different weapons he can use, as well as stats, I'm pretty sure Sain is my single best unit. I pretty much put all my eggs in one basket, counting on Sain and Kent to see me through a couple tough chapters, and it totally paid off for me. After this, and FE6, I'll never again insult Paladins. They're actually a really ****ing useful class, and I was pretty stupid to ever think otherwise.

Comments: Clearly the Garfunkel of the duo, Kent is still way more useful than his stats would indicate. First of all, his movement range is great. Second, his support with Sain is so incredibly useful. And third, I really can't overstate the importance of being able to use ranged weapons (that is, Javelins). I don't have any archers or magic users, and it's hurting me way more than I thought it would, so guys like Kent who can ride in and chuck a spear at somebody are indispensible to me.
Florina

Comments: And here's the opposite of Kent. Look at that. Compare her to Kent. You have to think that Florina wins that, right? No. She basically can't handle a goddamn thing, and I think she only got one point of Strength in the last 6 or 7 levels. She can use Javelins, yeah, but not against archers, and the lack of terrain bonuses really, really hurts her. Even her movement isn't so useful, because unlike Kent and Sain, I can't have her lead the charge and trust her not to get butchered. Definitely the weakling of my team, but she's starting to turn that around, so only time will tell.
VS. xp's Florina: Mine wins in a lot of stats, but loses in SPD, and is higher leveled. Really a toss up, there.

Comments: Factoring in only stats and nothing else, Oswin is my best unit. Period. If I need to solo part of a map, or defend a chokepoint against a horde of enemies, or whatever, Oswin's the guy to do it, because holy **** 16 DEF is like more than all my other units put together.
VS. xp's Oswin: The hilarious thing is, I'm pretty certain xp's Oswin is better than mine, and he didn't even end up using his. <_< [/spoiler]

Get used to this. Like I said, Hector was almost definitely my early game MVP, but he becomes utterly useless as time goes on. He didn't recover until The Value of Life, at which point it hardly even matters.
VS xp's Hector: I think I lose in just about everything except Strength, but I win by enough in Strength that it doesn't bother me too much. <_<
I'll take 3 DEF and 1 SPD on Hector over 4 STR at this point any time. Especially given that Hector shouldn't be seeing serious combat for a very, very long time.
Comments: Awesome is all I can say. Might be one of the better Eliwoods I've ever had, though it's rare that I actually use him, so take that with a grain of salt.
why couldn't my eliwood have that much speed.
VS xp's Eliwood: Pretty sure my Eliwood runs circles around his. Literally. That 16 Spd is insane. Singlehandedly makes Eliwood one of my better units, I think.
The only positive my Eliwood has here is that he's better defensively. However, that becomes questionable when you factor in speed. You are also now manually realizing this Eliwood already has more SPD than my Eliwood did at the end of HHM.
Comments: Lyn has been thoroughly disappointing this playthrough, at least relative to how awesome she usually is. She basically needs to dodge everything thrown at her to survive, and really, she's not even that good at dodging (roughly on par with Eliwood, who can actually take a few hits as well).
While that is definitely way worse than the Lyn I had, it seems passable enough. I will maintain that you should have given her the Energy Ring.
VS xp's Lyn: xp got the best Lyn I've ever seen. No way does mine even come close, even when factoring in mine being 6 levels lower.
You are now manually realizing your Lyn could gain STR on every level from here to Level 20 and still have less STR than my Lyn did.
Comments: Not much to say here. Serra is a healer first and foremost; she's adequate at healing, and she really can't do much more than that.
VS. xp's Serra: I win in the defenses and in Spd, which is nice, but my Serra's low Magic continues to bother me.
Eh, I'd call it practically a tie. And I wouldn't be worrying about 13 MAG either. =/
Comments: Raven continues to surprise me with his level of competence. Factoring out supports, Raven might be one of the strongest units on my team. The lack of supports hurts him, though.
Raven is a beast.
VS. xp's Raven: Roughly the same.
I'd give yours the edge, actually.
Comments: Guy is pretty ****ing good for his level. That said, I frequently get pissed at him for sucking, only to remember that he's about 4 levels lower than I think he is. That lack of Strength really concerns me, though supporting with Matthew partly makes up for it.
Yeah, Guy and STR are =(
VS. xp's Guy: Hard to say considering the level difference. I think my Guy certainly has the potential to end up better at level 18, but he could also get like four levels in a row of just Skl. Wouldn't be the first time.
Tough call, honestly. I'd probably say the chances are higher that my Guy is better at Level 18 than yours will be, but maybe not.
Comments: I said that I was more worried about early game, and I stand by that. The more recent chapters have been a cakewalk compared to the earlier ones, and it was largely Matthew who got me through those. I wasn't kidding when I said that he was one of my absolute strongest units for a long, long time, so his diminishing value doesn't bother me too much.
Nope, because I will always maintain that giving Matthew that Energy Ring was a mistake. And the middle of the playthrough was probably by far the easiest part for me. I wouldn't expect any real trouble until Genesis and after that until Battle Before Dawn. This is a really easy stretch.
VS. xp's Matthew: xp's wins. Period. You might not think so, but then you remember that I gave Matthew an Energy Ring. Again, no regrets there whatsoever because it made him so ****ing useful early on, but still, it's hard for me to say xp's doesn't win here.
I'm not so sure. Matthew's offense is ultimately so trivial, and your Matthew actually looks like he can take a hit, so I'm tempted to give him him the win anyway.
Although, what I'd strongly suggest is taking Legault and seeing how he turns out so you at least have an option later on. Especially if you plan on promoting Matthew so you can still have a Thief capable of stealing at a decent level.
Comments: Factoring in supports, movement, and the number of different weapons he can use, as well as stats, I'm pretty sure Sain is my single best unit. I pretty much put all my eggs in one basket, counting on Sain and Kent to see me through a couple tough chapters, and it totally paid off for me. After this, and FE6, I'll never again insult Paladins. They're actually a really ****ing useful class, and I was pretty stupid to ever think otherwise.
those stats are absurd. 17 SPD? my god.
I still laugh at the Paladin class though. lol units with horses. What terrible classes. The only exception are FE9 horse units.
Comments: Clearly the Garfunkel of the duo, Kent is still way more useful than his stats would indicate. First of all, his movement range is great. Second, his support with Sain is so incredibly useful. And third, I really can't overstate the importance of being able to use ranged weapons (that is, Javelins). I don't have any archers or magic users, and it's hurting me way more than I thought it would, so guys like Kent who can ride in and chuck a spear at somebody are indispensible to me.
See, this is a case of classic horse unit. Sain was just an abnormality.
XD horse units.
Comments: And here's the opposite of Kent. Look at that. Compare her to Kent. You have to think that Florina wins that, right? No. She basically can't handle a goddamn thing, and I think she only got one point of Strength in the last 6 or 7 levels.

Oh man, Florina. There's a reason I ditched her the moment I could when the superior Fiora joined the team!
VS. xp's Florina: Mine wins in a lot of stats, but loses in SPD, and is higher leveled. Really a toss up, there.
Honestly, I think my Florina is better, and given how terrible my Florina was...
VS. xp's Fiora: ahahahahahahahahahaha oh goddammit
You still have time to change to the superior Pegasus Knight!
Comments: Factoring in only stats and nothing else, Oswin is my best unit. Period. If I need to solo part of a map, or defend a chokepoint against a horde of enemies, or whatever, Oswin's the guy to do it, because holy **** 16 DEF is like more than all my other units put together.
Pfft, Oswin, another victim of being in a terrible class. He's useful in the beginning simply because he has DEF, but by now it's completely unnecessary.
VS. xp's Oswin: The hilarious thing is, I'm pretty certain xp's Oswin is better than mine, and he didn't even end up using his. <_<
Eh, it's close, but again, there's a reason I didn't use Oswin, his terrible class. Oswin only tagged along with my team for so long was because whenever I had an extra deployment spot, his DEF usually meant he could probably guard Merlinus. Only not really, because I'd almost always need to send help. But right about here is where he got dropped completely.
(Spoilers: xp pretty much sweeps.)
Was there ever any doubt?

Jesus.

I'm not sure I can risk dropping Matthew when he's still one of my strongest offensive units. >_>
those stats are absurd. 17 SPD? my god.
*actually checks Sain's average stats*
...well then.
XD horse units.
the horses are but a price that must be paid for such awesome movement range and constant WTA
You still have time to change to the superior Pegasus Knight!
I really don't, unless I want to screw Lyn and Hector out of supports. Or I could just kill Florina off, but she's one of my favorite characters, so I'm not doing that.

Oswin's a terrible unit to guard Merlinus because he can't really double anyone. He'll just get swarmed and then Merlinus will die anyway. >_>
Mind you, I shouldn't lecture anyone else about Merlinus duty, considering I let the guy die thanks to just forgetting to give Raven a command. <_<
Was there ever any doubt?
I honestly expected my Oswin and Matthew to be better than yours, because you seemed to treat them as liabilities. (Admittedly, my Matthew has a lot more DEF, like you said.) [/spoiler]

Turn 1 Enemy Phase, Lyn gets poisoned and knocked down to 2 HP. I think that's the first time I've ever lost a character to poison, much less got a game over to it. <_<

Goddamn, I hate fog of war and defend chapters. Yeah, TECHNICALLY this is a "defeat boss" chapter, but you know and I know that this is REALLY a defend chapter. It doesn't even pretend not to be.
Anyway... We have to weather an absolutely absurd amount of wyverns. That's really the only hard part of the whole chapter. Well, I guess the boss can be kind of a jerk, but eh.
I had one really, really good attempt before going to bed last night - it was actually my test run (which means I didn't bring Matthew or the Silver Card), but I got such good level ups that I actually considered keeping it despite that. We're talking Eliwood, Oswin, Raven, and Kent all getting perfect or near perfect levels. I've never seen anything like it. But then Raven died because I oh so foolishly allowed him to be attacked by 12 enemies in one turn. Enemies that I couldn't see, or do anything to stop, and which managed to all attack him despite him being up against a building because half of them could fly, and which managed to all attack him only because he kept getting crits on an 8% chance, just over and over, allowing new enemies to fly in, and then, after all that, he would have lived anyway, but poison kicked in and killed him. So yeah, well done, Fire Emblem. You are CLEARLY the superior player.
The reason I did a test run last night was because I came up with a new strategy, which is probably the strategy I should have done initially, but I'm just so terrible at this game. It involves dropping Lyn, Guy, and Matthew (oh wait, I need a thief - fuck you, Fire Emblem) for Oswin, Sain, and Florina. Sain and Kent rescue the NE house while Florina ninjas over to the SE house. We then regroup by the arena and form a cluster. I didn't want to have to use Sain here, but really, he's too strong of a unit for me to leave behind, and Eliwood/Oswin/Raven/Kent really get about the same amount of EXP per kill anyway (which is only like 5 - fuck you, Fire Emblem).
I ran the chapter a couple times in my head overnight, but really, I was overthinking it. I just needed to drop Florina for Matthew, let Sain and Kent handle both houses, and form a defensive cluster with a decoy in the arena (for the extra 10 avoid) to draw enemy fire. Ended up being Matthew because why not.
Stole the boss' Hero Crest, bought a ton of weapons with my Silver Card, didn't buy enough Iron Swords (xp really has the right approach when he says stuff like "buy a million Iron Swords" and I don't know why I don't listen to him). Killed the boss with Kent, who critted him with a Killer Lance.
Got some pretty okay to decent level ups, but nothing compared to my test run. =(
Still, hate this chapter. Even hate it in normal mode. Terrible chapter. And oh goddammit there's ANOTHER defend map next. Ugh. This is why I prefer FE6. [/spoiler]

BACKGROUND:
The castle's fortifications have been compromised and the castle guards who haven't deserted are underleveled and under-equipped. Eubans and his elite bodyguard will stop at nothing to retrieve Nils.
M BRIEFING:
You know my feelings about personal goals interfering with mission success, 007. However, in this case, I think we can turn a blind eye to going after that Knight Crest. Be careful, and remember - you are licensed to use Killer weapons.
Q BRANCH:
Would you believe it, 007? There's another blasted useless character we need to protect! No, no, not Nils - Rath! Hector might be able to hold his own against the masses, but he won't get any EXP for it, and the others are unreliable at best. Get out there and defeat Eubans! We don't want this playthrough going belly up now of all times.
MONEYPENNY:
The wall that defends the fortress defends the world, Bond. You know I won't sleep soundly until you get back to Caelin in one piece.

Anywaaaay...
...
Fuck you, Fire Emblem. Seriously. Goddamn do I hate defend missions.
So not only did I forget to recruit Heath, like, twice... I really can't figure out how to handle this chapter without getting a character killed off pretty much immediately. It doesn't help that, a couple turns into my most recent attempt, I was hitting L over and over to cycle through my units, and then I realized... I really don't want to use ANY of these people.
...
sigh
Oh well, I'll come back to it... sometime later tonight, probably.
I spent years looking for that bodyguard. [/spoiler]

Okay, here's what I've worked out:
Eliwood, Matthew, Guy, and Serra need to tackle the western rooms to get the treasure. Eliwood is the muscle of the team (always a mark of a good plan). Actually, that's a lie - Serra is the muscle of the team, being the only one there who can reliably one-turn wyverns. You might have noticed that this leaves the rest of my party without a healer. Well, that's just how I roll! Sometimes I roll pretty terribly.
The main attack force consists of Hector, Oswin, Florina, and Raven. The main advantage of this set-up is that it gives me WTA against goddamn everything. The big thing here is that I absolutely cannot ever equip any of my units with a ranged weapon. You'd think you'd need it, to cut through the spellcasters in time. Not so. It's just suicide. Unless you think Hector or Oswin can survive being attacked by about 16 spellcasters in one turn.
...Actually, to be honest, that set-up doesn't help me very much. And I couldn't figure out why for the longest time. It seemed perfect to me, and the best I could manage, but something... didn't quite work out.
My thought process: I need one more unit, just to step in and throw a Javelin or kill an archer now and then. But I'm already at max deployment. Rath is useless, Heath gets killed by mages/archers and isn't strong enough... There's... no one... else..........

ISADORA - MVP!
FORCED DEPLOYMENT SAVING MY SORRY ASS!
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ISADORA HAS EVER BEEN USEFUL FOR ANYONE
The third part of the strategy consists of the Rath Recruitment/Eubans Strike Team. Lyn, Sain, and Kent. They need to solo the entire eastern side of the map, which isn't a problem after, like, turn 2. If Sain survives that (and "that" is being hit by a Lancereaver Cavalier, and then being targeted by like four wyverns), he's in good shape. Sain can kill the ballista jerk, and that draws Eubans to his position, at which point it's Handaxe time. Oh, and Lyn gets Rath, of course, for all the good he'll do.
Anyway, on my SECOND attempt with this strategy, I decide to NOT be an idiot and thus I don't let Oswin get cooked alive by a half trillion spellcasters. I DO, however, decide to be an idiot and let Raven get dropped to like 4 HP by enemy mages, only surviving because his Steel Sword broke at the best possible moment. I also decide to be an idiot and let an archer knock Florina down to 2 HP. After that I got serious and decided to go with the tried and true strategy of sending Florina and Lyn, who, as usual, won through the awesome power of lesbianism. (I may have gone with Lyn/Eliwood and Hector/Florina for supports, but Lyn/Florina is still canon in my heart.)
At that point, we break through the enemy's main lines and essentially butcher them. My only regret is that I didn't send some reinforcements to the western side of the map to help Guy mop up the reinforcements that spawned near there, but then, it would have only been like 20 EXP total, so no big loss.
Speaking of ending the map...
Eubans: For the Knight Crest, Sain?
Sain: No. For me.
...And then Sain killed Eubans.
Sorry about the stupidly long writeup. [/spoiler]

Not worth it!
I want to play EHM before HHM,
Probably not worth it. I played EHM and then went immediately to HHM, but it had the effect of making me slightly annoyed with playing FE7 back-to-back like that. EHM isn't that bad or anything, it's practically equal to HNM. Still. =/
and I'm not sure whether I should post writeups in my own topic or in this topic to keep all the HHM stuff together.
Eh, I know I don't care. My stuff is only in this topic because we seriously don't need what, 4 of these topics around, do we? Plus, I can't imagine I'd do writeups for things frequently enough to justify a topic. I did the same thing for FE10 too. Like, for example, I'm playing Ar Tonelico right now and like I could bring myself to do write ups for that. >_>
