Beat the game.

I feel bad for Huang, to be honest. His new status (as living character at the end of a GTA game, for starters) apparently means nothing even when he's the protagonist. I wonder if they'll ever get back to his story, or Liberty City for that matter.

The forces of Chaos have been scattered, in ways I could never have predicted. To summarize:

  • I opened by attempting to assassinate Archaon the Everchosen with my best assassin. Amusingly, I had a 41% chance of success thanks to stacked followers, which is hilarious when you realize that Archaon is supposed to be the game's final boss, to be met on the battlefield where he's an overpowered monstrosity, not assassinated by a (skilled) Empire Captain while surrounded by his army. Alas, my captain not only failed, but he managed to injure himself in the process... which I guess is a logical outcome when you're attempting to assassinate the chosen leader of the combined Chaos forces, but still, the numbers were on my side!
  • Evidently enraged by my attempted assault, Archaon charged into battle. I'm not sure if he thought he could beat my two armies, or if there was a gap between them that Archaon thought he could get through. Unluckily for him, that 'gap' was actually Emperor Karl Franz hiding in ambush between two armies that would act as reinforcements. And good old Archaon opted to bring an army with three Hellcannons, two Chaos Chariots, a ton of melee infantry, and nothing else, meaning I could easily surround and obliterate his artillery thanks to the ambush position, then blast his infantry apart with my own artillery. I cleaned house before my reinforcements even arrived, with Franz and his heroes slaying Archaon in personal combat.
  • Apparently inspired by my success, one of my allies decided that he was a match for the other 20-stack Chaos army, this one led by a Lord of Change. His force was hilariously inept at this task, but lucky for him I had two of my armies in reinforcement range... though one of those was Karl's army, still somewhat battered from slaying Archaon moments earlier. I found myself in the rather strange situation of having no units available until after deployment, meaning my forces had to rush across the map to join the battle, and thus I had a horribly-scattered setup with minimal and delayed artillery support. Despite his wounds, Karl was able to mop up two Chaos Giants and two Lords with minimal support, not to mention locking down the critical Hellcannon before it could assault my approaching troops. Sadly, one of my own lords was slain in the battle, mere moments before the foe responsible shattered and fled the battlefield. Rest in peace, son of Sigmar, and be assured that Emperor Franz himself personally saw to the demise of your murderer. Plus, my AI ally was nice enough to soak up most of the casualties despite my frantic positioning, meaning I lost only a few hundred men in the battle.

And so, in one turn, I broke the back of the Chaos army, and I did it all without having to order an attack myself. Now I just have to clean up the remaining Chaos forces, and the campaign will be an easy win!

It took long adventures but finally everything came to a conclusion.

I killed the Nameless King with four estus left and Harry Bellafonte's banana boat song playing, despite having been cold cocked at him for a week.

I'm now out of things to kill.

I am sad.

That doesn't look like a boss. At least not the traditional definition thereof.

Maybe because it's pixelated and in the angle of vision the character is very close to the camera making the thing in the back small, but it's truly final boss material in a lot of ways, traditional and all.

Died just short of 200 million points, at Youmu Konpaku (the real deal, not midboss). Although I didn't make it to the end, it's the farthest I've ever gotten in a Touhou game without continuing and blows all of my previous runs out of the water. I didn't even have a single death until the Prismriver Sisters, and I only died once or twice to them when they're usually my biggest problem. Fun fact: which spell card they use second depends on which one of them you damage more. I ended up getting a much easier spell card than normal.

I think I've finally learned to see both the big picture and my character's immediate surroundings, as some spell cards and waves that gave me a lot of trouble seemed to have some really obvious gaps that I never noticed. I was missing the forest for the trees, trying to dodge through really thick clouds without looking for an easier route.

I see bullet patterns when I close my eyes now.

For me at least, this is the only way I make progress. I'll spend days not getting past Stage 4 or 5 and then have a run that lasts till the final boss' last spellcard.

I've beaten this game and I never knew that. I thought that it depended on which character you were.

This means you've become one with the bullets. Rejoice.

Playing Denmark vs England, as Denmark.

Initial buildup went well, and kept more pikemen ready than the English could. The only offensive action they tried was sending a block of 36 pikemen near my town, but kept running away when they ran into my formation of twice that. Produced and upgraded some musketeers, dragoons, and cannons, and used hit-and-run tactics with the dragoons to lure the (by then) hundred or so England pikemen into a killzone for the cannons and musketeers.

Continued a push forward along the map using the dragoons to whittle whatever army the English could manage. As I got a full-size company of 18th-century musketeers to the front, I also captured some English cannons and started bombing their mines with them. Pushed into their town, mowing down any inhabitants and defenders under a hail of musket fire, and captured a Town Center intact. Much of the destruction of their town was caused by them using scorched-earth tactics to deny building capture, or hit by their own cannons as they tried to fight me off. This crippled them, and when I made a final sweep of the town for any survivors, I was declared the victor. All in all, I lost at most around 60-70 men(including two officers because those guys are idiots), they lost around 350 soldiers and 150 peasants.

I've always thought this too. And the only thing I saw on the Touhou wiki was that there's actually four Prismriver sisters, but one does not appear in any game or have any official artwork.

Wasn't so much my own as it was mechanics conspiring in my favor but hey, it's funny.

When heading for Aldrich there's that big brass door you can open to save yourself some time and when you approach it from the inside that giant spider freak drops down to ambush you. You can open it without triggering the ambush tho and that's what I did, then I approached it from the outside in order to trigger it and lure it outside where there's a bit more room and a bit less hostile turd monsters to stagger you at the worst possible moment. It sees me and drops from the ceiling to attack, except it doesn't to it's usual attack drop but a regular drop. You know, one that procs fall damage, and it hits the ground and dies instantly leaving me fully geard for a fight and slightly puzzled at the lack of any :V
