Map tutorial

In upcoming chapters, the units you control will change.

No matter who you face, your goal is to keep the units under your control alive. This is your primary concern.

For this map, proceed with extreme caution. You may require some additional assistance, so stall for time until that arrives.

Play defensive initially until it is safe to proceed. You should take advantage of the terrain and chokepoints until then.

Dialogue
  1. Micaiah

    Edward, I have something for you...

  2. Edward

    Really? What is it?

  3. Micaiah

    It's a gift from King Pelleas. One of Daein's national treasures, the blade Caladbolg.

  4. Edward

    What? Whoa, this thing is amazing! I've never seen a blade so sharp! Is it really for me?

    That means the king's counting on me, right? Well, Caladbolg and I won't let him down!

  5. Micaiah

    Um... Listen, Edward, this war... Daein really shouldn't be...

  6. Edward

    Huh? Shouldn't be what?

  7. Micaiah

    Oh, never mind. It's nothing. Forget I said anything.

  8. Edward

    OK, sure. Um, Micaiah? Look, I don't know anything about kings, or nobles, or anything else like that.

    But you're fighting because you believe it's what's best for Daein, right?

    And, well, that's good enough for me. I'm with you, no matter what.

  9. Micaiah

    Oh, Edward...

  10. Edward

    Now, I want to use this sword! They're going to write songs about me after this, I just know it!
