After finishing off my Leadership/Stalemate/Bastard King Run, all I can say isâŚoh dear. Becoming King was not worth crushing Darinâs regard of my marshal. While Ending 3 has the Marshal clawing back against the world that mistreated them, Ending 2 has the Marshal achieving a modicum of inner peace and equilibrium (and having stronger relationships with their loved ones). Both endings fit the respective Marshals perfectly IMO, and I canât wait for ITUO to see the fallout of those endings. And even though my Leadership marshal wasnât nice to Elya at all, it was still a gut punch to betray her at her own coronation. A part of me is wondering what sheâll do after being thrown in a cellâsheâs no longer a weak little princess after being betrayed by her own brother and a traitorous part of me is rooting for her in ITUO even though she will go against the Bastard King I play as. Also I wonder what Dismas is like in a run wherein the Marshal betrays Elyaâhe died in my own such run. However, with the dishonored soldiers helping him seize the throne, I suspect that Dismas would have been among them were he still alive.
On an unrelated note, it is absolutely possible to achieve total victory without a massacre at the Atiming River. However I wonder what choice I must make to drive home to Lada that this is a real war.

Did I play this from the release hour till 2 am and completely overslept my work? Yes, yes I did. And by that I mean I came to my lab at the time everyone else usually does and not four hours earlier, so itâs okay.
f!Marshal and Milon relationship will never stop being the peak teen romcom, and Iâm here for it. Itâs silliness underlines (I swear I was trying to remember this word for like 4 hours) the message of hope for better future so nicely, here is our poor traumatized girl finally doing staff she was supposed to do when she was 15, so nice, so wholesome, I just canât *proccedes to smash the keyboard over-eagerly *
But! In the second to last scene with the door there was no joke about Milon being swept off
his feet, and I understand that our girl has no game, but I protest, your honor.
I also really appreciate the ability to play a character who doesnât mind feminine staff but on her own terms. Game recognising choosing not to wear the dress for the first time but doing it for the coronation - it was unexpected and really neat.
Donât know about the official forgiveness tho, itâs not like our Marshals really need it (I mean, there is nothing for them to be objectively blamed for, obviously different Marshals can feel different, and different people too, but you get what I say). I hope the Krorid retirement plan doesnât require that, because screw those Kantonian bastards (except for our crew, but they are chill, and Krorid is chill too).
Also it would be nice if the next book has a scene of the singing Marshal learning a jolly little tune in the company of their friends, I think it would be a nice way to show how Marshal adapts to non-war life.
So yeah, I enjoyed the book a lot and hope the second one comes pretty soon ^^~ And a guide. I didnât do too badly, the game said that the rebels were dealt pretty good blows here and there, but I didnât get chapter 5 and 9 achievements, I donât think I understand how the army should look like for that.

So can you get the Throne only with Elya dying? Or can she pass it on to you(or will she be able to if she remains an incredibly weak ruler)?

Congratulations for the release! Probably bittersweet ending even though u get a victory. I need time to recover from this too depressing but the writer really good to capture the emotion especially your PTSD war. Honestly i really want to be a villain take a throne by force but the consequence is too great its exhausting to have a positive mind/reaction when u are in position of the MC. Cant wait for your another book Whiskey-Four

You can get the throne one of two ways. First is you build up jealousy and seize the throne for yourself. Second you make sure elya has low strength and then you retreat from the final battle where you get declared as regent.

I think there might be a bug with the heavy cavalry stat in chapter 3.
Boop
If you choose either sally option - charging with the main force or breaking off to get the archers - there is an option to retreat right away after the results of that action. Retreating after charging sets the heavycavalrycount stat at 4. Retreating after going after the archers sets heavycavalrycount at 4 as well, but you get another +1 if you have the leadership specialization. Iâm not sure if itâs intentional that there is no leadership check with the charge and retreat option.
If you donât choose to retreat right away and instead stay and fight (archer path only), with the leadership specialization all of the knights who followed you to take on the archers survive and retreat successfully. However you donât get the increase to heavy cavalry which seems like you should, since you just saved a bunch of knights.
Later on in the chapter, thereâs a check for the heavycavalrycount stat but it only checks for 0 and 4. If you have 5 the code doesnât recognize it and so you get a blank line.

I have played the game, and I admit it has not dissapointed me, then again I have played the pubblic demo so I was sure it would have been a great game.
Congratulations to the author. Long Live Tactics Mc!

Loved the game. My only complaint is that the third âmentalâ option where you donât seek help is kind of inconsistent. Sometimes the text and choices make it seem like youâre just resigned to being a walking war machine whose sole talent is killing, while other times there is some kind of penance and atonement theme added (âI deserve thisâ etc.).
I was playing MC with weapon specialty and won the last battle by intercepting any cav, eliminating enemy archers with my own and then joining the fight on foot. My army had 2.6k retinue, 600 heavy cav, 800 rangers, 450 archers and 2k or so infantry iirc. Barely any light cav, I think 50 or something. Was outnumbered 1:2, lost 1.8k troops while Rade lost over 8k.

If the mc never wants to officially be a noble in Kanton then, no, they do not need it.
For my mc it seems there are far more good reasons to decline than accept:
- It will involve the pope equivalent in Ravaria in both the civil war and mcâs life, something my gay one could definitely do without.
- It wouldnât really change anything about how the mc will be treated and seen by the vast majority of the nobles and the public. In practice due to the missing fingers most would still see the mc as dishonored and treat them as such because the habit has been deeply ingrained in their culture and upbringing, no matter what some fancy papal bull equivalent might say.
- The practical aspects it would change are all things my mc would view as negative in that he would be expected to adopt noble manners, courtly graces, guard his restored âhonourââŚetc, etc. He also still wouldnât physically be able to wear a signet ring anyway.
- If he becomes an officially recognized noble the most unpleasant aspect of that would return to bite him in the ass as he would be expected to marry and become available for Elya to marry off for the usual medieval reasons.
- Even if not dishonoured mc is still a not legitimized bastard with no title or lands. The good Bishop methinks skips over the bastard part a bit too quickly, a bastard with honour would still be a bastard and still not legitimized in the mcâs case.
Really the supposed âbenefitsâ are all the noble crap my mc does not want to have to deal with, while the education he could have gotten if not dishonored would still remain forever out of reach and amputated fingers canât magically be made to grow back in this setting.
Krorid is one of the few places the ancient Ravarians never conquered, so it is still a different culture that does not share the Ravarian originated concept of dishonor and the significance of ring fingers.
That being said, the church does have a presence there. But we donât know the specifics of the religious situation in Krorid and how and if that would change with independence. It could be that in Krorid the church either exists in tension with an older religion or that it has simply done what some branches of the Christian faith have historically done and absorbed a lot of that older religion into itself, though breaking with the concept of dishonor would be a pretty big divergence from the mother church and would probably make the church of Krorid a fairly low-status (in the rest of the continent) and borderline heretical denomination.
Anyway my mc would only accept the throne in Krorid on the conditions that neither a marriage nor a signet ring are necessary.

I hope that kroridian church will agree to officiate a wedding for a not-forgiven MC, and I can see Elya helping silencing anyone who would claim that making one if the siblings to marry a dishonored is an insult. But yeah, obviously it is a must for Marshals who want to stay in Kanton (some people donât have taste, it canât be helped /s)

Will there be a female LI for a lesbian MC in the 2nd book? Kinda feels like a pointless choice seeing as itâs never brought up again if chosen & just turns the MC into becoming disinterested in romance altogether.

Again, depending on the situation in an indepedent Krorid, my mc would just as soon have the priests of the old gods conduct his coronation ceremony, if he even goes that path. He never plans to marry no matter what religion or rites are used for the wedding, so that part is entirely irrelevant to my mc.

Itâs been a while since I played! Congratulations on the release! Iâm just starting my playthrough. Quick question. Is Lada still just a RO for male mc?
3 Likes
There is supposed to be one, yes.
And itâs not pointless, since it makes it clear you arenât interested in any male advances and wonât react to them romantically.

It seems like Milon was considering marriage to F!Marshal even though he knows she was dishonored (and Iâm pretty sure that he has no idea that un-dishonoring people was possible, and he did have practical reasons to propose to the Marshal, as he states in Chapter 4). Iâm pretty sure Lada is the same (while I have played her route I havenât played it as much as I have played Milonâs route so I canât cite specific examples). So while there would definitely be gossip (even if the Marshal wasnât a dishonored bastard there would be gossip if they married Milon/Lada) in Kanton, Milon, Lada, and Elya would definitely weather and/or silence it, and Father Miljenko would agree to marry them since he doesnât believe in dishonoring (although heâs a choir monk rather than a bishop, so his standing is low even though Iâm pretty sure he has the authority to marry people).
That said, I wonder if Lada would want to be Duchess of Jutrea while Milon takes up the position of King-consort in Krorid (Milon would stay Duke if Lada became Kroridâs Queen-consort).
The author has said that heâs strongly considering making a F/F route starting in Book 2, since thereâs an increase in the number of female characters that are unrelated to the Marshal because the focus of Book 2 is coalition warfare/holding together a kingdom rather than fighting the Kantonian Civil War.
@andromaca Lada is only romanceable by M!Marshal, yes.
If he does know that âun-dishonoringâ is theoretically possible, I suspect he knows about it in the same way that he knows that Rade could theoretically surrender and renounce his claim to the crown, and Elya/the Marshal (if they are crowned/the regent) could theoretically put him in prison (or even theoretically pardon him) instead of on the scaffold.
@idonotlikeusernames Thanks for the clarification, I get it now. So while he probably knows that âre-honoringâ was done rarely (but it was documented) in the past in Old Ravaria, he doesnât think itâs a practical possibility nowadays. He certainly wasnât expecting that piece of knowledge to come up in relation to his lover/fellow soldier (whichever is applicable). Do I have it right?
