Well, that's my impression from FE7 anyway. This game's tough! Especially if you are like me and refuse to let anyone die, ever.

I'm playing through on Hector's Mode for the fist time. Hector is manly! Manly. Also his mode is much harder than Eliwood's, possibly because Hecto himself is the last Lord to level up. I'm going through the mission to get the Armads now. I spent the last mission getting Nino more than 20 levels befoe taking on Lloyd.

Canas is probably the best boss-killer I have, thanks to Luna ignoring defense.

Anyway, this game is hard. I bet the rest of the series is about this hard.

Let's talk about Fire Emblem.

I'm still on the third chapter on Radiant Dawn...I'm playing on normal mode and no matter which path I take, my units keep getting killed. I then bought the strategy guide to help me and I followed what the book says, but my units keep getting killed  

 

Hmm, I don't really know how to help you, but a few things that always work:

- Make sure the enemy can't reach your weak units (sound logical, but it's something easily forgotten). Always use the enemy grid to see no-one can get hurt.
- Make sure you finish off enemies. In the beginning you'll likely need 2 (or maybe 3) of your team members to make a kill. Group your units together, so they can attack in a row. One enemy dead and one with full health is always better than 2 with half health. Do your first attacks with ranged units like Leonardo and Micaiah. That way you have a free attack.
- Level all your important units!!! It's tempting to let Sothe kill everyone, but that way your other units stay weak. Basically have Sothe (or other overpowered characters) not make any kills in the beginning of the game at all. That way your weak units will level quickly and become less of a liability.

Hope it helps. The first few chapters in RD are very tough. Afterwards it becomes a little easier.
