@Dankykong: I think it is under the View Map option before you actually start the battle.

@DefHalan: Yeah it is, or atleast in Birthright. But I don't see why it wouldn't be in all 3 versions.

Well thanks! Usually it actually picks a fine spot to start, it wasn't even a bother during Awakening, but this one chapter it's like why....? This is ridiculous putting all the healers over there, we're never going to do anything. LOL
I swear even in Awakening the View Map option was literally just a viewing tool, not an editing tool as well.

@Dankykong It was still possible in Awakening to re-arrange your units in View Map, though admittedly it wasn't really needed unless you were doing Lunatic(+) or Apotheosis.

@Iggly: Yeah I've only done Hard mode at the most. So I guess that explains why it was all fine and dandy.

I think if I replay Birthright I can maybe take on Lunatic, because besides Ch5 and 7, and PL13, it's been just an average challenge. But I played Awakening not too long ago, so I guess I'm just in a mode of my own right now lol...

I like Birthright because it holds my hand while guiding me through the new system. I'll start using more strategy when I start Conquest. I hear it's quite the challenge

@TingLz
Conquest is a lot more challenging, especially on Hard/Classic. I can't imagine what Lunatic would be like. There's no grinding, so it won't become really easy like Awakening. Maps and enemy placements are better. On some maps, you'll have to abandon trying to get the award(like Chapter 8) and just finish the requirement unless you can figure out how to not get killed.

Edit: I have a question about Revelations. If I buy a digital Revelations code from Gamestop or Amazon, will it count as DLC? I've heard that Revelations won't take up a lot of space if you buy it as DLC. Since I've preordered a code and will be downloading it from the eshop rather than Dragon's Gate, is it going to be DLC, or will it take up the space of a full game?

It doesn't matter how you get it. It will download onto your system unless you got the special edition

How silly of you. I bought the EXP DLC and plan to abuse it!!

Are there anymore paralogues besides the children ones? I'm almost done with Birthright and I've only came across 1 non child related.

@TingLz does that work with conquest? I don't believe that before Awakening gives exp at least.

Yup it does. It's actually the only way to grind.

@yokokazuo I assume it'll be the same over here, but in Japan the EXP DLC Map worked for Conquest.

@BurningSonic:
No Mozu is the only non-child paralogue character in both games. The rest are all child paralogues unfortunately.

Already over 300,000 sold in NA.

@FX29: Oh that sucks since I accidentally let Mozu die, and I'm pretty sure I killed some of the parents.

Are we allowed to buy maps separately, or is it only the whole Map Pack? I want to buy the EXP map for Conquest, but I don't want to buy the whole DLC.
@BurningSonic
Yeah, you missed out on a kid. Kids are now tied to the fathers(except Azura) in Fates. There's also a way to miss out on a kid if you're a male character or decide to do a gay marriage.
@yokokazuo
Yes, it works. It's the only way to grind in Conquest.

I love all the children I've gotten so far: Percy, Sophie, Shiguire, Kana, Nina, and Ophelia. I think once I get Siegfried I'll solely use the children and the royal family members on my team.

@Eat_Pie you should be able to get them separately, I think that the map pack is just cheaper if you were to get them all.

I prefer to get all units possible so I really hope I won't miss anyone. Is it just if certain characters marry leaving another without any options?

Mozu is terrible, yet another Villager child I'm struggling with. Just like Donnel, who died in Awakening, but I'm determined to let Mozu live

Wow the Before Awakening DLC I mean, talk about RIGHT before Awakening. It's like Robin is 20 yards away during the whole battle.
