THE CHALLENGE
- I must recruit all 40 characters in the normal playable cast of Conquest. (Capturable enemies and DLC/Amiibo units are not required.)
- Every character must be trained: at the end of the campaign, the sum of their level before promotion and their displayed level in their final class must be at least 25. For the purposes of this rule, Felicia, Jakob, Gunter, Camilla, and Leo are considered to have been level 0, 0, 5, 10, and 16 before promotion, respectively.
- No DLC or multiplayer battles are allowed.

BONUS OBJECTIVES
- Have every character get married. (Gunter, Shura, Flora, and Izana need only unlock an A-rank support with Corrin.)
- For each character, acquire an additional class with an A+ support, if possible. (Characters who can't get new classes this way, like Jakob, should unlock A-rank support with Corrin instead.)
- Kidnap all of the unique capturable bosses.

OTHER RULES
- DLC, path bonuses, visitation bonuses, and battle bonuses are banned.
- No random events in My Castle (Lottery Shop, conversations around the castle, etc.) are allowed. Birthdays are included in this ban. I may use the Private Quarters once, immediately after chapter 6, when it is not random.
- Einherjar, Logbook, DLC, Amiibo, and Bond units are banned.
- Facilities like Lilith's Temple and the Prison that refresh over time may only be used once between maps. The exception is that I can use them, upgrade them, and then immediately use them again.
- I am allowed unlimited food and gems, but not Dragon Vein Points.
- I can acquire a Chef's Hat. I cannot visit other castles for any other purpose.
- I may manipulate results from the Mess Hall according to the abilities of my best chef. (So I can't get Exquisite meals until I acquire Jakob, Peri, or Percy.)

I'm playing Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest on Lunatic difficulty with a variety of fan-made mods, including the story rewrite known as the "Good Guy Garon" mod. My modlist is here:

To be fair, in the Deeprealm where Zoran lives it's only been a week since his last upload

[Dymastia]

Imagine going to court, and the judge sentences you to 3 turns of optimized Azura shelter singing

[Mekkkah]

Really wish Shigure was actually around for this map lol

[alexleven]

There's something that tickles me about Beruka always claiming people are stealing her kills when in fact she's the queen of 0 damage

[john_gamecube]

Zoran correctly using nautical terms to refer to the positions of his units is the sort of attention to detail that makes this series great

[ericallen]

Shigure: "I'm with you all the way... except for now, which I am not."

[bedoclock]

"I'm sorry to say it must remain a mystery at least for a little longer" Azura just perfectly summarized herself in one line in her sons paralogue

[Zoran]

I may not have gotten this done in any reasonable amount of time, but at least my pronouns agree with their antecedents

Shigure arrives to the ship injured. Don't worry, he gets fixed up after you finish grinding reinforcements for 10 turns while he bleeds out.

I am really grateful that I found your channel. I don't play much FE anymore, but the insightful strategic explanations make my brain happy, and the level of quality and care that goes into each of these video productions is genuinely inspiring. I can't wait to see future chapters, no matter how long the wait -- it's always worth it. (I also quite like your voice.)

40:05 "You have my aid... and YOU have my pity!"

[zukrad]

This upload has interrupted my "Conquest train everyone challenge" binge rewatch! How dare you!

[Sandstorm_]

"Honey, wake up. Zoran uploaded!"

[theleftfootedsultan]

There’s nothing quite like an obligatory Zoran grammar tangent to make my morning.

[absoluteatrocity]

I’m really gonna miss Peri’s voice lines.
“That’s me!”
“Can I help?”
“Can I have the wishbone?”

They’re so animated compared to some of the other characters.

[cartooncritic]

There's a six months joke I could make right now but I won't.

I'm just glad peak is back.

[TheLonelyNihilego]

This was a definitely one of the more campy paralogues but I’m excited to see a bunch of builds be completed I wonder how trample and elbow room Midori will do and how that effects her viability

[mvjbass]

Ayy we got the new Zoran video before Pokémon Cypher 2023

[TheChainOfGame]

ZORAN’S BACK WITH THE MILK!
Can’t wait to rewatch this entire series for the fifth time 👌

It kind of makes sense that so many of the characters have their last goal before benchwarming be getting certain skills for inheritance. You'd think giving birth would be the kind of action that makes you unable to continue to frontline a war
