Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Battle Between All Houses Simulation (Ch7 Gronder Field, Maddening)

I thought it'd be fun to see what a battle with all 3 houses on equal footing and with no player involvement would look like, this is the result of a week long effort! Huge thanks to TildeHat for helping with small things here and there to make this happen.
Note, do not take this end result as a fact of anything, this was simply done for fun and viewing pleasure, with no other goal in mind!
(Note, as the story intent for this chapter is the house with most KOs, those are each worth one point)
Here are some facts and goals I laid out and worked based off of, keeping in mind that I wanted all houses to be on as equal grounds as possible.
Black Eagles are Always bottom left as the enemy.
Golden Deers are always bottom right as the enemy.
Keeping these facts in mind, that leaves Blue Lions as the house that will start where the player is supposed to be.
So as a result, I picked the Blue Lions house so that I'd get the enemy Black Eagles and Golden Deers on the map, and then took all of the data for enemy Blue Lions, rotated their map spawns 90 degrees and fit them as best as I possibly could on the top part of the map, and then made them all green units.
This however presented some additional challenges based on our lack of knowledge in a few matters.
We do not know how to change a unit's AI, as a result, there were VERY few skirmishes, those first 4-5 enemies near the Blue Lions spawn point would battle, and then the map would slowly stall out, as BE and GD units only move when someone is in range.
Because of this, I pushed both enemy houses 3 tiles (horizontally) and 1 tile closer (vertically) closer to the middle of the map, this in turn caused overlapping ranges in the first turn, which would then cause a snowball effect on the entire map and allow things to progress smoothly.
Then we had another challenge to overcome, Black Eagles and Golden Deer units gained a stat bonus for kills, but the Blue Lions did not!
So in the spirit of fairness, this feature was completely removed.
Why you may ask?
Because we totally did not know how this was handled, and because we have no idea how most of the game's map scripting worked, we just simply decided it'd be best to remove such things altogether.
Then I noticed something, Leonie had Knightkneeler, and Ashe had Curved Shot, however, not a single other student had any combat arts at all!
Because I wanted every house to be on somewhat equal ground, I decided this is not something that should be allowed, and my solution?
Give every student a Combat Art!
However, units that are not Player units are limited to only 1 Combat Art, so in the spirit of fairness, everyone got the first combat art that can be learned associated with their weapon, so Tempest Lance for lance users (meaning no Knightkneeler for Leonie), Curved Shot for Bow users, Wrath Strike for Sword users, etc.
After all was said and done, we were presented with one Final Challenge, green units are unable to kill bosses!
This would lead to an awkward stall out of a green unit were to try and eliminate Edelgard or Claude.
However, this was very easily fixed, I simply removed their "boss" status so they could be treated as any other regular unit, allowing things to finally flow smoothly!
And thus (one of the many) end result is what you now see in this video.

The point of the battle was to get the most kills which the blue lions did so the tactics of the gd is actually not that good in this situation lmao. The blue lions are the smartest and strongest because of that.

[@NekkoBlue]

I know that, but just because the Blue Lions won the battle doesn't mean necessarily undermine the fact that the Golden Deer came out on top in terms of survival. If it did, BL would've creamed the competition and still would've had units to show for it.

[@lronlance6366]

@@NekkoBlue you have to understand no one dies in this battle, if it was really about survival then yes the gd would have won. But the point of the whole battle was to get kills, which is why the blue lions won. If the point of the whole battle was to survive then you could just turtle and let the other two fight each other which wouldn't even make sense for this type of battle. Thats why calling tactics of gd better than the tactics of the blue lions is wrong to me because the point of this battle was to have the most kills not survive.

[@NekkoBlue]

When you say “it's not really about survival” and then proceed to say “the whole point of the battle was to get kills”, it's kind of hypocritical, but ok. I never meant they'd die for real of course, I just meant Golden Deer still had units on the battlefield while Blue Lions lost all of theirs. For instance, just because someone won a game of chess does not mean that the opponent wasn't formidable at all and never had their own merits within the match.

Yet, Blue Lions is still the one that won.

Fr the point of the battle is to get the most kills which the blue lions did the gd don’t get anything for be the last standing.

Lysithea isn't actually that strong of a unit and is massively overrated because of her early game potential as a boss killer. Change my mind.

@@appelofdoom8211 Lorenz can kill swordmasters on Maddening. Warp is her best attribute. Sure she has amazing high magic and good range but she's not anymore effective than anyone else in combat.

Any unit can be good with the right build, but she's easy to build into a nuke if you play her right which is why she ends up being one of the best units for a lot of ppl.

My favorite part of this video was the Dimitri/Dedue vs Claude/Hilda stand-off

[@youraverageinternetperson4323]

I'm glad I recruited Ferdinand to the Blue Lions before the timeskip. Judging by this video, he'd have been able to take down our entire team single-handedly. Great job with the video!

[@shalltear159]

black eagles had so much damn plot armor

[@kellyjohana516]

Ferdinand mostly.

[@Glacidon]

Accurate to how pre release media pretty much only cared about Edelgard until literally the month before the game came out

[@Ninjaananas]

Plot armor does not work in gameplay scenarios.

Golden Deer survived the longest because Marianne stayed out of trouble and kept healing

Yeah mai Gurl Marianne with dem heals.

[@Fran_5]

The Pegasus Knight that missed the 85% on Ferdinand. It hurts my soul.

[@LordSerperior1]

Ferdinand went on to kill 3 people after that miss. That Pegasus Knight might have cost the Blue Lions the match.

[@resistancearmy5385]

Ferdinand proving why he's the noblest of nobles. Regal as the eagle baby.

Thus the end of the battle was heralded by the cheers of premature victory. But as the sun set over the red and blue stained mountains, excited shrieks turned to horrified gasps as those in gold became awash in fear and silence. From the dusk emerged a strange warrior clad in what can only be described as the pajamas of the dead, from that moment on as the Golden Deer that remained met the steely gaze of the bloodthirsty Blue Phantom that emerged from the mountain itself, they knew then and there that the battle had ended, but not on their favor, for the true blood bath had begun, and the mountains would be stained yellow by nightfall. The spirit raised its blade. It spoke. Nobody heard the words, only saw its maw open and clamp shut, but they knew what it meant. It stepped forward~

[@director00donut39]

Thank you, thank you, you’re too kind. Unlike the Blue Creature of the Red Dusk on Gronder Field.

[@ViveLeEmpereur]

I liked when Ignatz used a vulnerary instead of killing the pegasus knight right in front of him. I also liked when Linhardt healed a generic Empire unit instead of Edelgard.

Claude getting a cheeky conversation with Dimitri right at the end was too perfect 🤣

2:12 Why is there no comments on Ashe literally DESTROYING this rando flyer on his first turn?

I would love to see this battle related with each house starting at the top position. I think it would be interesting to see how much the map mattered in this fight.

[@unownenjoyer4662]

Can we just salute that one blue lions cav that sacrificed herself to kill Lysithea

[@lightcouragefake574]

7:57 I love how this moment is when you see the hearts of all Lysithea fans get crushed and Chaz is just cackling in the background.

Seteth: "This year's winner of the Battle of the Eagle and Lion is...Ferdinand von Aegir! All the Blue Lions are dead because they were green units, so I suppose this Azure Moon run has now become a Silver Snow run."

[@gg_sam7847]

I get the feeling that placement is what really mattered here, the Dear were just so out of the way that it makes sense

[@sveipr]

Huh, kinda fitting that Felix, the lone Wolf, was the last one standing for blue lions.

[@estelleliu9802]

Hilda held on really well against both Dedue and Dimitri :O

[@colorbenja6163]

I'm surprised in how bad the Eagles played, except for our ultimate carry Ferdinand von Aegir

[@goncalocarneiro3043]

MVP: Ferdinand Von Aegir!!! What a wondrous individual! LVP: Ignatz and Lysithea! They just died.

[@LuiBei1994]

black eagles getting destroyed by the blue lions then claude and hilda fucking destroying dimitri and dedue was amazing. FEAR THE DEER

[@lunaproc4913]

So Blue Lions get the prize while Golden Deer win the battle. Black Eagles would’ve lost even earlier if it wasn’t for Ferdinand von Aegir and he was outnumbered too.

[@TheJayeagle]

I like how the Golden Deer let the Blue Lions and Black Eagles kill each other, then swooped in and took out the rest.

[@ray0064]

TheJayEagle I get its strategy but it’s still a punk move oh well

[@raviolibirb8009]

It's a clever strategy. Especially if you use it in real life war scenario

[@you741sings]

The black eagles messed up so hard, they couldve killed Dmitri so many times

[@RubyChiang]

The minute they lost Mercedes, the Blue Lions was going to meet their end. But damn.... Fear the Deer! OMG! I mean, they were the last one standing so... technically they won.

[@mirzamnimu]

Raphael ignored the battle to forage for snacks. Great work, that’s an impressive amount of consideration into how best to balance the teams!

[@briankenney9528]

The blue lions took the mock battle so seriously they all fake died

[@reilie9115]

If this could be recreated in the timeskip that would be amazing but probably pretty difficult

[@fivestarguy100]

This is a Blue Lions timeline where Byleth sat out the battle of the Eagle and Lion and all three factions brought their full forces (E.G. Randoms, as whatever class you play with don’t bring Randoms normally.) I’m all for this, because it makes it a bit more fair, makes sense canonically, and of course, all of the classes are entirely in character. XD

[@MorphyVA]

The fact that Hilda survived Dedue

[@pluubooruu]

Let's be honest here, Blue Lions' custom lineup is optimized far more than the others, this definitely gave them some edge.
