Supply convoy
“ | Our travels will not be ending anytime soon. We've gained more people and more items, right? It might be good to have help managing our things. | ” | — Hector, on Merlinus's convoy services |
---|
The supply convoy is a gameplay service allowing the storage of spare weapons and items. Owing to the limited inventory space possessed by individual units, use of the supply convoy lets units withdraw and deposit items as they need them throughout the course of the game, and in most cases allows them to send newly-obtained items straight to the convoy if their inventory is already full.
The convoy is typically not available at the absolute beginning of a game and is unlocked within the game's first five chapters. Normally, access to the convoy is primarily available through the preparations menu prior to starting a chapter, and means of accessing it during the battles themselves are relatively restricted. Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, Genealogy of the Holy War, and Thracia 776 allow the convoy to be accessed in battle through special stores on maps with limited availability. In Mystery of the Emblem and most games from The Binding Blade onward, the majority of games tie the convoy to a specific playable unit, usually the game's main lord character, and can be accessed by any unit by standing next to the lord.
