FE Radiant Dawn: Ike's army defeated

UPDATE (6/2/10): shadowofchaos725 did a version of this on Hard Mode, it's awesome, go watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SE0FrraJ4vo

Recently I watched yuisin's video of the Daein army beating Ike and his teammates in chapter 3-13 of Radiant Dawn, and while I really enjoyed it, there was one thing that bothered me about it: Ike's team appeared to be severely underleveled. Also, none of them seemed to have ranged weapons, making each one an easy kill for Eddie.

So, instead of gimping Ike's team, I decided to train them as I do on any regular playthrough, and I boss/staff/BEXP spammed Micaiah's team to the point where they were comparable to Ike's.

UPDATE: Since I've gotten this question a few times, I'll elaborate more on what I mean by boss/staff/BEXP spamming. Boss spamming is when you give units weak weapons (usually bronze) and have them repeatedly hit a boss on a seize mission, wait for the boss to regen health, then repeat the process in order to gain experience. Staff spamming is simply spamming healing or other staffs to gain experience for healers/magic users. BEXP means bonus experience; therefore BEXP spamming means pumping a unit with a lot of BEXP to get their level up.

I also gave Ike's units ranged weapons for added difficulty (Soren even ended up with meteor, which I forgot about). Yes, I know Ike's team could have been a bit stronger if I had distributed their share of BEXP, but generally when I play I leave BEXP till the very end when I have to choose my units for the final chapter, so I can just make my decision there and pump whoever I want full of experience.

This took me a few tries, but I was rather satisfied with the result. This video is for entertainment purposes only; it is not meant to show any sort of skill or that one character is better than another (for the love of god try to restrain yourselves from starting Eddie/Mia or Boyd/Nolan wars in the comments section), but rather just to show what could happen if the two armies were leveled comparably to each other.

Also, note that the video starts on turn 5 because I had to defeat Soren early on to remove the A support he had with Ike. After that turn the video skips to the rest of the Greil army.

@Jaxl089 on easy mode i made ike's team so powerful and miciah's team weak i got aran killed and the only really good unit i had for micaiah's team is Tauroneo doesn't really matter but still aran is or used to be the strongest and fastest unit until he is dead by ike:(

[Kevinikolo11]

CHUCK NORRIS OWNS ALL!

[yoh2345]

I want to see this Ike's army being taken down when they're all ticked out. Not a lot of Ike's units were strong to begin with like Rolf. He's using his bow and only 13% chance hit? You can tell he wasn't trained.

[HighJudgeGabranth]

Nice fight! Also I lol'd really hard at Tauroneo vs Ranulf. xD

[nin10doadict]

I guess Ike didn't prepare himself.
