Beginning log

After defeating Arcardo, Roy crossed the border and entered the land of Sacae.
The Djute clan, the most powerful clan in Sacae, had joined Bern after suffering defeat. Not standing a chance against the joint force, the other clans were quickly decimated. Although Dayan, the chief of the Kutolah clan known as the "Silver Wolf," was fighting back with guerilla tactics, the situation looked grim. Sacae had become a territory of Bern.
As Roy entered the plains of Sacae, the warriors of the Djute clan stood in his path.

Strategy

Ch18B is the second Sacae chapter, and the first chapter to feature the trademark Nomad swarms present in the route.

Nomads, and their promoted counterparts, Nomad Troopers, all have high Avo due to high SPD. However, they lack STR, and their love for the 5-MT Short Bow severely limits their abilities to deal with high-DEF foes. As such, units like Douglas or Delphi Shield!Melady can easily wall them with little difficulty. However, these bulky units can only retaliate against Nomads' bow shots with inaccurate Javelins and Hand Axes, and coupled with the aforementioned high Avo, makes killing them on Enemy Phase basically impossible. Furthermore, the only units that can counterattack them for high damage are Snipers or Anima casters that have low DEF and as such are especially vulnerable to being swarmed by Nomads. This map's main threat comes from squishier units getting swarmed in open terrain, and as such, it is imperative to prevent that from happening.

The player starts in an area that is separated from the rest of the map by a river and 2 bridges. Block both bridge with high-DEF units to stop the Nomad swarm from reaching your squishier units. When able, bait in the Myrmidons and Shamans and clear them out; they (one Myrmidon has an Armorslayer) are the only threats to any Generals that are on wall duty. Beware of Nomad Troopers, as they can cross rivers and kill anyone squishy left in range. It is best to try and 2HKO them with Anima tomes, using mounted units to rescue mages to safety.

The Wyvern squad will aggro when they can attack something in 2 turns. It is possible to completely avoid them by sticking to a southern path, though Wyvern reinforcements do spawn and are aggressive, so anti-Wyvern countermeasures still need to be brought. Other reinforcements include additional Nomads and Nomad Troopers from the south.

The real challenge of this map is getting Roy to the seize point. Roy is quite weak, lacks both SPD and DEF and has poor movement. As such, he will get demolished and killed if he is exposed to Nomad fire. Furthermore, once someone ends their turn inside the ring of huts, more Nomads and Nomad Troopers start randomly spawning from them, which can easily kill Roy as he nears the gate. Once these spawns start, they don't stop until the boss dies, and hence it is important to kill the boss quickly or the player can easily get overwhelmed by dozens of Nomads who just won't die.

One solution is to rush a bosskiller directly to the gate from beyond the ring, using Larum/Elffin to do so, and bank on the boss dying in a single round. This can be risky, as Monke has high SPD and Avo and a failure to bring him down in one round usually results in the bosskiller getting swarmed and killed. Another solution is to keep the rest of the party in the starting area, and instead have a single, bulky unit rescue Roy and try to make it to the gate by themselves. Since rescue does not decrease DEF, bulky units like Douglas or Melady have no trouble tanking huge swarms of Nomads. However, they will struggle to actually make progress towards the throne as they struggle to wade through a sea of Nomads with halved SKL to hit enemies with, to the point where running out of weapons whilst surrounded becomes a real concern.
