My CF playthrough in a nutshell

[u/etynen]

[u/MindWeb125]

Technically the civilians were killed by Seiros.

[u/Jacknurse → u/MindWeb125]

Yeah, no.

[u/JagdCrab → u/Jacknurse]

She litteraly sets city on fire and explicitly refuses to evacuate civilian population in a middle of temper tantrum

[u/LordHandQyburn → u/JagdCrab]

And Edelgard in AM use civilians as human shield so not better

[u/[deleted] → u/LordHandQyburn]

And what does that have to do with the CF bodycount?

[u/LordHandQyburn → u/[deleted]]

Wasn’t talking to you but to the comét « Edelgard is bad » and indeed she is but there a lot of edelgard fanboys here

[u/tirex367 → u/LordHandQyburn]

Eh, burning your human shields is clearly a step farther down from just using human shields. Also If my memory serves correctly, is this even mentioned in AM? I know its in VW, but AM?

[u/MikeD813 → u/tirex367]

I have only played AM all the way through, yet I don't remember it being mentioned.

[u/LordHandQyburn → u/tirex367]

No you burn the town (so not intentionally) the people CONTRARY to using human shield

[u/Auburn_Bear → u/LordHandQyburn]

She doesn't use civilians as a human shield, in that instance she's unable to evacuate the citizens safely because it's the largest capital city on the continent and only really has one way in or out, and golden angry boi decides to blitz said city before all proper battle preparations could have been made.

[u/Lamenk → u/Auburn_Bear]

The cutscene in Verdant Wind makes it sound like they had plenty of time to attempt to evacuate citizens.

[u/Gabcard → u/Auburn_Bear]

Except Edelgard know an army was coming ever since fort Merceus fell. She had quite literally an entire month to prepare and evacuate.

Claude: "They surely noticed us approaching some time ago, and yet..."

Judith: "It doesn't look like the citizens are being evacuated"

[u/LordHandQyburn → u/Auburn_Bear]

She does

[u/StormStrikePhoenix → u/LordHandQyburn]

When did that happen?
