I thought I'd seperate this from the tactics thread. Perhaps a pin? ^^;;; Lyn Hard mode
*1 1940 for Normal mode *2 3250 for Normal mode Eliwood/Hector Normal Mode
23A = Lloyd 23B = Linus 25A/27A = Kenneth 25B/27B = Jerme Eliwood/Hector Hard mode
23A = Lloyd 23B = Linus 25A/27A = Kenneth 25B/27B = Jerme Explanations Tactics (turns) and Experience scores are totalled and averaged against the total maximum/minimum requirements. For Funds, the final Assets (physical Gold + worth of all items) are averaged against the total Max Funds. If the total Assets are approximately >80% of the total Max Funds, you should get 5 stars. For example: You completed all the chapters in Hector Hard mode and participated in Lloyd's Chapter 24 and Kenneth's Chapter 27. In the end, your total number of turns is 340. Summing up all the 5-star maximum turn (Tactics) requirements gives 317. Your total turns is over this, so you can't get 5 stars. Summing up all the 4-star chapter maximum turn requirements gives 349. Your total turns is under this, so you will get 4 stars. About all or partial 0 values The 0's are not incorrect, but arise (possibly) due to a programming error. If chapters have these, it can be both a blessing or a curse. Basically these chapters don't contribute to the averaged total maximum/minimum requirements. For Funds and Experience this is great, because you don't have to do anything, but anything that you do is beneficial. For Tactics this is bad. I can't think of how to explain, so if you can't see why, consider this prime example: You're playing Hector Normal Mode and you just reached Chapter 15 (skipping Chapter 13x because you're lazy). Up to now you took a total of 31 turns. You'll notice that this value is just within the total 5-star maximum turns requirement (0 + 9 + 10 + 12 = 31) and, looking at your Rankings menu, you do see 5 stars in Tactics so all is well and good. Chapter 15's victory condition is to survive for 7 turns. You look at the 5 star maximum turns requirement for this chapter expecting to see 7 turns, but instead you find it's 0 turns (and the same for 4, 3 or 2 stars). At this point you're either confused or think it's a mistake. However, upon finishing Chapter 15 you find that your Tactics ranking has gone down from 5 stars to 3 stars! Why is this? Up to now your total turns has been 31 + 7 = 38 turns. So far, the total 4-star maximum turns requirement is (0 + 11 + 12 + 14 + 0 =) 37 and the total 3-star maximum turns requirement is (0 + 13 + 14 + 16 + 0 =) 43. So 38 turns is good enough for 3 stars. But that means you were penalised for pretty much no reason... Yes, unfair, but true. To sum up, if you're aiming for a good Tactics score you should either aim to finish these chapters in as few turns as possible (and if possible), or make up in earlier/later chapters. Survival chapters If possible, don't wait them out. At the very end of the chapter, the game counts an extra turn. So if the condition is to survive 11 turns, the game counts 12 turns at the end. However, if you can end the chapter during the player (or enemy?) turn, it won't count the extra turn. Final words Yeah, the last part was mostly c+p'ed from my site. I suck at explaining, so feel free to ask questions. The data was obtained by hacking the game. I did many extensive tests and have come to the conclusion that all the data is accurate, and accurate for all modes. Finally if the code tables are ugly, you can view the HTML tables from the original page. |

Where did you get this? If you want to know why I want to know, I saw this recently on GameFAQs, where Restrictor13 posted exactly the same. So unless you ARE Restrictor13 you might have just copied it from him. I'm not saying you did, but just to let you know why I asked.

Actually, we worked on them independently. I don't think Restrictor13 even knows about my work. We both got the data from hacking the game. EDIT Basically I got the idea from Dragon Hellfire's post and started working on the data. When I started I saw Restrictor13 had posted LNM and ENM data at GameFAQs. However before they finished their work I already figured everything out. |

Well, I know who Restrictor is and... he's... not that bright. >_> But maybe he's better with math than with other things. |

I just finished working on an excel table which should have your tactics limits per chapter, both total and not. I think it looks neat, if I may say so myself. It's based on HHM, taking Linus and Jerme routes (because they've got more lenient limits) and all gaidens. Based on this, it seems taking Genesis is a very good idea (25 turn limit), Night of Farewells too (28 turn limit, you'd probably go there if only for the Fell Contract though), while Value of Life (0 turns) and A Glimpse in Time (0 turns) both hurt. It seems that on average, to stay within the limit of every chapter, you'd have to take about 10 turns for each map, while the total amount of turns for 5 stars seems to be 335. Megaupload EDIT: Forgot to add calculations into the cells |

I'll do a quick HHM run with those chapters, to check if the total is correct. |

Hey, thanks for posting this! This is really useful information. Expanding on this, how does the Funds rating work, exactly? Does the stated Funds value compare to the amount of gold you have as "liquid assets", or is it derived somehow from the gear and items you have in the convoy? I'm pretty sure I've actually lost funds ranking by selling gems to get gold before. |

Funds measures Assets, which is the combination of physical Gold and worth of all items. EDIT Up to Kinship's Bonds and all the HHM turn values look good. The only problem is that I seem to be off by 2 points all the time (since I started counting). I could have miscounted one of my turns early on- we'll see when I get to the Epilogue :S EDIT2 Oh, I know why and it's kind of stupid >___< On survival chapters, it counts the very end as an extra turn... I think I'll finish right here. That's enough testing I think.
EDIT3 So my initial estimate of 310 was pretty good. 317 if you count the Kenneth and Lloyd chapters (I think I picked the first ones originally). Now I need to minus 7 for those survival/turn limit chapters: 1 Peddler Merlinus 2 Ch 15 Hector 3 Pirate ship 4 Protect Nils 5 Against Vaida 6 Protect Zephiel 7 Denning chapter 8 Battle preparations I might have finished one of those early. Can't remember (probably the pirate ship, as you can't hide) XD |

The limit for the survival/protect chapters always seems to be equal to the amount of turns they take (most of them are either 7 or 11)...so when you say that it counts the very end as another turn, does that mean you're guaranteed to have an effective 1 turn loss anyway? i.e. Talons Alight has a limit of 7 and takes 7 turns, but the game counts 8 to your progress? EDIT: Oh cool, your site says beating the boss deletes the extra turn. So that's where that myth came from ("if you don't beat the boss you don't get the tactics point"). This would almost be a reason to take on Vaida in Unfulfilled Heart, but she's damn hard to beat and the Spear she comes with in Cog of Destiny is worth 9000G. Even if you obtain the one in Unfulfilled Heart via the Mine Glitch it's only worth 1500G according to this. However, if you'd like a turn added to your tactics then I suppose you should go and figure out how to kill Puzon (ouch), Sealen (free Dragonshield too) and Ursula (I always did that anyway). Pirate Ship and Kinship's Bond are more like normal chapters with the goal "kill boss" to end the chapter except that if you really suck it ends at a certain turn # and in Kinship's Bond you can't let them to Nils. |

Yeah, Talons Alight would count 8. I don't know if it would physically show 8 during the Epilogue, but that's what it counts for Rankings. EDIT ![]() It does show XD |

Hm. If you do well enough on tactics throughout the rest of the game, something like limited arena abuse in PoB becomes possible. |

Haha. Also, when adding up the Lyn Mode funds, I get: Hard Mode: 43760 Normal Mode: 43020 740G difference, and then you get an extra Iron Sword in Normal for 460G, so you have 1100G more if you play Normal Mode. If the only rank you care about is funds and that extra ~1k makes a difference on whether you can afford to use the Knight Crest, Angelic Robe and/or Energy Ring, then Lyn Normal is a viable option (though the tutorial is gay). I know for a fact that using only one of these will usually net you an A in funds as long as you don't use the others (and obviously don't use Short Bow/Armorslayer/Lancereaver etc), so if this 1k makes enough of a difference and you can use two of them now, Also Vincent you did some awesome work here.
It's pretty hard to estimate how you're going to do throughout Ch18-Ch32 and you also don't have Ninian (who has the rings AND move again, which is sex) and you don't have more than one flier (which is required to keep the ring effect if you're into that, but also helps a lot with rescue chains to make maximum use of the arena). I'd say Four Fanged Offense Linus makes the best chapter for some arena abuse if any: it's the last real counting arena, so you should know how you're doing, you have Ninian in full glory, you have access to not one but three fliers, you can bring a hell lot of more people than in PoB (including Isadora as an extra mounted unit to rescue) and you have better unit flexibility in general, because in PoB you need everything you got against these pirates, while FFO Linus is a pretty easy chapter. |

Yeah, FFO sounds like a much better candidate. |
