Finished the game, few things i learned
Armored Princess is my first ever experience with the series, it's a great game but i did run into a few disappointments.
I selected the blue dragon for buffing all friendly beasts only to learn that only two beasts are actually useful that being royal snake and polar bear, which the polar bears ran dry and i could only get them very limited supply in bore.
Really finding any specific units was near impossible, in my whole playthrough there was only ONE place with royal gryphons and it was located the other side of Reha island (had to fly across so many times) and only two places with assassin's which were so powerful for most of my game.
Finding any items that could buff my beasts was impossible (entire game only found snake boots and a hunting jacket).
I eventually switched to having an army of Demons, Royal Snake and Black Dragon by the end because the game was finally kind enough to provide me with a good set of items. (Oh and unlocking flying quite early made life so much easier)
Now the biggest issue i have is the dragon, while it's nice getting extra gold and casting Lava Call twice per turn it's a huge disappointment i couldn't even use him during the most important BOSS BATTLES, i mean I'm a warrior, structured around the Rage mechanic that gets stripped away from me when it's needed most?
All that tells me is to never again play a warrior class, only Mage in every other game from the series from now on that way I don't lose my strongest abilities when i actually need them.
On the good side i did quickly learn how to kite stationary NPCs away from their post to steal the treasure/map scroll they defend, without having to fight them (even when they're Lethal difficulty tier.
Tier 3 scouting is incredibly useful, to judge the actual strength of opponents so definitely will take that in future too!
And delaying the turn of my units just outside of the enemy movement range is broken, allowing me to attack twice in a row, especially when my unit has no retaliation or a good ability to use.
All things considerd it's a good game!
I might be wrong about some things, but like i said this is my first ever experience with it (yes, i skipped the legend, I'm moving onto crossworlds now) if someone wants to give me their take or tips/hints for the future and correct me on things i might've gotten wrong you're welcome to!
