I did it again, I underestimated an enemy and failed. I played a side mission that had me rush to go save a lady warrior and a village, while taking out some bandits roaming the area. The lady started in a corner of the map and I started at the other so the challenge was getting to her before she gets chopped up by the many enemies rushing her.
The first time I played the map, I moved way too slowly and she died just as I was getting close. The second time around, I grabbed my pegasus unit, loaded her up with a strong melee warrior and flew to her almost directly. It was risky since my unit was also very vulnerable, but I made it to her and fought off the enemies. Unfortunately, I also saved the village which gave me a great item. The remainder of my crew was left to attack the bandit chief in another part of the map. I was careless and my player character was killed by him...
Third time is the charm I guess! The third time, I was well prepared and fearless, yet careful. I sent my flying/warrior unit out to save the lady, which worked fine. This time though, I lost the village as bandits managed to reach it before I could. I kept going though and slowly picked at the boss and his minions until he died. I starting to get a good feel for the mechanics now and find good pairing opportunities more than before. I found that speed was a really important stat since it allows for two attacks in one turn if the circumstances are good. This game is deep and it feels like it's just getting started.
