AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA holy shit Agireda has Attack Boost here and Alpha's Rance for half his health which leads me to just Rance Attack from Turn One. I try to stack Guard with Katsuie but the enemy Monk disables it a few times and gives me a million billion scares(you can't save-scum multiple Defenses in a row!) but we pull the fifth Defense off without any losses! The Shimazu Blitz is over!

Doom · « **Reply #261 on:** July 26, 2012, 06:04:49 PM »

At the start of the next turn...

HOW COULD ANYONE HAVE PREDICTED THIS TURN OF EVENTS? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! Traditionally I'd just hop into that easy 10 floor low level dungeon but I reckon I'll check the new option out, must be a New Game+ thing? A definite New Game+ thing is that if you fail to find the Lemons in about 5 turns, Miki becomes the Demon King and blows up the castle for an instant Game Over in your first playthrough, but on New Game+ she becomes the Demon King, takes Xavier's position as Lord of the Demon Army and your game shifts to the Demon King Route. It is literally impossible to win the Demon King Route! If you cheat and do it there will be a cutscene where Miki and Kentarou accuse you of cheating and teleport away and give you a Game Over.

Let's check out my army after that Blitz.

Ouch. That full Replenish cost.

Whew!

Did Teru's cost just jump up by 1 there?

Doom · « **Reply #263 on:** July 26, 2012, 06:34:37 PM »

Good catch! Cost is relative to your Max Stack and perhaps influenced by your Current Stack, yes. I didn't know Current HP affected it too. Maybe it is extreme cases, since Teru has over 3000 Stack. Tengu Guy's colossal Stack has been increasing his cost for awhile now and he has a -4 cost item equipped but he doesn't do the same... but he's also the goofy-ass Animal unit. Weird.

I should be able to get under the National Power cap again when I take back the Mouri province the Demon Army automatically conquered. And when I clear One Eye House, of course.

Poor Chinu. ;_;

The thing that got me is that nobody seems to ever comment on that. You'd think there'd be a "Hey, I can't find chinu but her room is covered in blood and bits of chinu" scene with how many things they do have scenes for!

Poor chinu. :(

Doom · « **Reply #265 on:** July 27, 2012, 03:12:01 AM »

Poor Chinu. ;A;

Turn 106. We'll use Rance's Satisfaction 210 bonus to increase every Commander's Affection by 3 since we've just recruited three of Masamune's waifus. I try the unique "Look for Himari Lemon" cutscene option but it's just a nonsense cutscene that discovers... a persimmon? It's not a useable treasure and I have no idea what the point is so I'll reload and pass on that for now. Natori hits 7/7 Affection and has a cutscene for us so we'll chat with her!

Then we chat with Fuuka who has been at 7/7 Affection for a long time but seems to be dependent on Natori's progress to unlock her own cutscenes.

The first and third options contribute towards Character Clearing Fuuka but that conflicts with Character Clearing Natori and with unlocking a Bonus Dungeon, I believe. We've used the second option here.

Last Fan so we'll attack the Demon Army's closest province which was actually our former Mouri province. They meet me with Generics from Shimazu and I claim 1/3 of the province. Turn 106 ends!

Doom · « **Reply #266 on:** July 27, 2012, 03:27:56 AM »

Between turns we get a suggestion that our Unit Annihilates/Enemy Commander Kills may be more useful than usual.

And the Demon Army tries to retake the land we just took, but with a Generics Comp. Easy Defense. Then we chat with Fuuka again.

And unlock an option! We'll do it later, I have a point in mind. Then we Develop another province for +1 National Power. Two Fans left... we attack the Demon Army province again. More Shimazu Generics, I left click to win for 2/3 of the province. I then search for a dungeon in one of the old Mouri provinces.

And that's it for Turn 107.

Doom · « **Reply #267 on:** July 27, 2012, 03:47:19 AM »

Between turns I defend against One Eye House once and Demon Army twice. A cute scene plays when we use Kouhime for the Demon Army Defense.

Oh 3G.

Over at the Demon Army, it seems Ran exploded after we threw her out. Gigai is Suzaku's "Human" Apostle form, much as Rengoku was Byakko's.

And things get worse. I believe this would be the start of Nobunagula destroying random Houses if we had left any!

Unfortunately, Madou has an idea for how to make things worse anyway. We claim our stolen province back against another Shimazu Generics comp, provoking Madou's anger.

Madou comes away from the conversation thinking that humans are weak... monster troops would be much better.

Doom · « **Reply #268 on:** July 27, 2012, 04:04:43 AM »

Turn 108 is still going! Let's clear Red Wall Dungeon!

Aside from a boss floor with #finalfight it's just 6 floors of a lot of low to mid level monsters. Easy. The loot is useful.

Then we go discover a new Dungeon that wouldn't show up until we recruited Kentarou for a cutscene.

So useful, that Kentarou. I then check an option I hadn't noticed before and I believe is a New Game+ only recruit.

Summon Ogre Plus? All Guard Shikigami? 9 Defense? Her Intelligence is low but we can raise that with textbooks and quite frankly we're here for the All Guard Shikigami. Who knew Miss Kojika was the second best Diviner in the game? But I need my last two Commander slots open for a clever plan so I reload and will recruit her later.

My real final action is to chat with Ai!

We improve her Remove Buffs command. Also earlier we improved Fuuka's Heal to the AoE heal and Natori's Defense to 7. That's Turn 108!

Stush · « **Reply #269 on:** July 27, 2012, 04:13:36 AM »

I don't think Kojika is New Game + only, i'm fairly sure I recruited her when I played.

Maybe. In my first playthrough she randomly bumps into Mouri at a tavern and tries to fight him. His troops subdue and restrain her, hang her from a tree and violate her with a spear and I never saw her again so maybe it was with the pointy end.

Between turns we defend against One Eye house once. Cutscene plays.

It gets worse.

Turn 109 starts. I decide to try an "Ogre Hunt" option on Hell Island. Kill 6 Blue Ogres, every Commander gains a Level. Not bad. I do it again and get 3 Reds/3 Blues for another easy Level. This seems to be the extent of Ogre Hunting available. I nail another easy 12 Construction Development for another point of National Power and decide to take the first territory in One Eye House's last province.

We burst Omachi down before she can move more than once(she casts Guard Shikigami, phew) and claim 1/5 territory. Turn 109 ends.

Doom · « **Reply #271 on:** July 27, 2012, 04:32:45 AM »

Defend against One Eye House twice(no Omachi) and... Demon Army. New and improved.

Monster Warriors come in Red, Green and Blue. Red are Warriors, Blue are Strikers that function as Cavalry and can attack from the back row and Green are Foot Soldiers that can build Guard. All three have above average stats compared to their Human counterparts. Monster Mages have weak defenses but always attack with an instant Lightning spell against all units for light damage, though it can scale to dangerous if the Stack is large and it removes Guard and Guard Shikigamis quickly. We defend against the one Demon Army attack and get a cutscene.

Woah no!

Doom · « **Reply #272 on:** July 27, 2012, 04:47:40 AM »

A joke dungeon filled with nothing but low level trash and many single monster floors, the Underground Mandarin Reserve is a freebie Dungeon. But we've been getting warnings that Miki will explode any day now so we clear it.

Super awesome treasure, though! We hit another Development 12 for more National Power and attack One Eye House again. 2/5 Territory! ... Then for old time's sake we clear Road to Hades again. Turn 110 is over.

Doom · « **Reply #273 on:** July 27, 2012, 05:15:14 AM »

Defend against One Eye House once and Demon Army once. Between turns we get an automatic cutscene from Kentarou.

Turn 111! We attack One Eye House again for 3/5 of the province and then head into Bikini Watch, a 12 floor dungeon.

An easy mid-level Dungeon except for that Boss at the end. Fortunately it takes more than 6 simultaneous KOs to wipe in a Dungeon! The item is pretty great! Orime's at 7/7 Affection so we chat with her and teach her Sonic Shuriken.

I end Turn 111 by using My Slave Sill to power up Rance through his own 7/7 Affection and give him +2 Levels to 78.

Doom · « **Reply #274 on:** July 27, 2012, 05:27:39 AM »

Defend against One Eye House twice(still no Omachi sighted!)

It gets worse between turns.

And now for more moe with Miss Kou.

D'aww. Also 3G owns.

Doom · « **Reply #275 on:** July 27, 2012, 05:44:57 AM »

Turn 112. I use all the Draft Papers I've been saving on Rance.

Gahahaha. Then I attack One Eye House again. And again, to take their last province!

... And then Masamune drives away on his little toad car, leaving us to rule over the Youkai Kingdom? Hmm. I seem to have not encountered Omachi at all and botched recruiting her and Masamune. I reload and only take the 4th territory so I can squat the Youkai land and see if Omachi shows up again. Oh well, this will let me begin taking Demon Army land. I boost National Power again, and clear Road to Hades twice. Turn 112 is over.

Doom · « **Reply #276 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:11:31 AM »

One Eye House attacks twice and Demon Army attacks once. We defend them all. Your first encounter with the Demon Army after the Soul Binder is released has a cutscene.

Infected are Peasants again. They don't really do anything but make Demon Army comps easier to defeat. However at the start of each turn 1-2 of your Commanders will randomly be Exhausted. It got... a little worse. Mostly better, honestly.

At the start of my next turn a thing happens. Kentarou will have a one-time use item that lets you win the battle but if you level him enough to win without using it you can save it for later.

Women, always using their breasts to distract Men. Especially in battle!

Kentarou 1.
Kentarou 2.
Kentarou 3.

Kentarou will become a Demon and he alone will become immune to most damage. In theory this means you could Dismiss his army down to one(him alone) and use him as a front row Wall. In practice this means I'll keep not using him if I can help it. It's not like his stats improved. Miki flies away and prompts another "do this or Game Over/Demon King Route" scenario. This couple is really annoying.

Also this horseshit costs you all your Action Fans so Turn 113 begins and immediately ends.

Doom · « **Reply #277 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:39:27 AM »

Whew. One Eye House attacks twice and Demon Army attacks three times. Omachi shows up!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Omachi can cast the Monster Mage Spell Lightning and unlike those putzs she does 500 damage to every one of my units and that's just her most Basic Attack! We swiftly Alpha her before things get out of hand.

Excellent! This is the event I was waiting for and I can go defeat Masamune now.

But first, all those Defenses.

The Shimazu brothers attack randomly after a victory against the Demon Army with Rance in your comp. Since they show up with "only" 2000 stacks they're pretty tame unless you tried to Defense on a budget with Rance in a weak comp. Just mind their individual gimmicks and it's a snap. When they retreat Yoshihisa will chug some forbidden medicine and buff his HP(and not much else) for an easy Dungeon boss battle. Defeat him and he'll die(Shimazu brothers are immune to capture and recruitable only in alternate Routes) and that's that for their assassination plot. For some reason all these antics will let you use the same Comp again for another Defense so despite the total of Five Defenses this time around it's pretty doable. Especially since the Infected are making Demon Army comps much easier.

At the start of the turn Kentarou irritates Rance.

Doom · « **Reply #278 on:** July 27, 2012, 06:48:21 AM »

Turn 114! We can ask Masamune's wives about his weakness now. If Rance wasn't so over-leveled I'd be unable to defeat Masamune without doing this.

There we go. Let's go stomp him! ........ uggggggghhhhhhhhh 3G won't let me fight until I find Miki. This fucking couple. We do two of the three Searches and it takes two fans to do the second. That's Turn 114.

My God she's already a total monster.

I like Kentarou's demon coat, it's pretty snazzy.
