@Blackout isn't fireclaw not something we or will ever be made again?

Are you thinking of Fireclaws, or normal pistols? Because if you want Fireclaws, you will need the Anvil to work your way to it.
Student of the Anvil is the tree that allows us to eventually make Fireclaws deep into the tech tree, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh damn, we can actually go back and purchase things we missed last time. That's amazing, and so, so, tempting. That said, I don't think going into exile with no friends or allies except maybe a pet is a good call for our mental health here...we need some friends with us one way or another.
So, with that in mind, let's see what we can manage here in the way of plans with actual soldiers:
[] Plan Infantry Commander
-[] 10 Swordmasters of Hoeth
-[] 50 Spearmen/50 Archers
-[] 20 Mistwalkers of Yvresse
-[] Commander of the Ind Campaigns
I like this one. We have an actual mercenary company with elites and scouts and the experience to run it properly.
[] Plan Band of Siblings
-[] 10 Swordmasters of Hoeth
-[] Silverine Plate
-[] Commander of the Ind Campaigns
-[] Student of the Anvil
This is more, like, us and our personal guard, leaning into the Loremaster thing and having this as the seed for what will eventually be a larger force.
I'm also a big fan of the recently suggested White-Feather Pistoliers.

You need to specify a name for your Pegasus, unless you want to footslog.
Items cost two points so you can't get a Fireclaw without dropping something else.

A plan for an actual mercenary company, with added martial for us and the ability to improve our men's equipment over time.
As for the soldiers, i picked the spear&bow elves as the centerpiece, the swordmasters as champions and officers and humans as auxiliaries.

I prefer the Plate to the Pinion because it helps prevent us from being injured at all better, and further enhances our offensive ability.
I disagree, I'd much rather enhance our personal combat ability now and then worry about recruiting troops later.

I mean, we have our bonuses to Diplomacy, I'd prefer to be stronger first, build a reputation and enjoy the lone life, and use that reputation to garner troops alongside our Diplomacy bonuses.

We can't make something on the level of the anti-chaos sword (work of a Golden Age Runelord) but the Fireclaw was a novelty made by some Priests of Vaul on a whim, much more in reach.
Okay correctons made (didn't realise Items were two points). Thoughts on this?
[] Plan Fanriel the Chaos Slayer MkII
[] Griffon
-[] Dawnsong
[] Knight of Tor Gaval
[] Student of the Spear
[] Warrior of the Wailing Fen
We get the big badass mount, flying bonus is needed since we're on a big flying monster, monster bonus is needed since we'll be up in the sky where the other monsters roam and the dispelling bonus is great that we're a giant target up in the sky.
Ranged capabilities can be covered aplenty in spells and griffons are fast, if less maneuverable than an eagle so we can close the distance.

We also have the downside of not being the most stable, being utterly shut out by literally every single person she's ever met is not good for our protagonist's mental state.

Just how rare is it to find Pegasus and Great Eagle Knights in the Old World? If they're so rare that one Great Eagle Knight is equal in points as any of the Artifacts or Traits, then it may be best to just choose these guys from the start because we aren't getting any until late-late game.

It's not equal to the Artifacts.
If you're thinking of regular pistols, I doubt they would like that since Elves notoriously disdain blackpowder weapons for being unreliable, and we're talking about noble Pegasus Knights.
Ew, don't take Humans from the get go. Go for a more elite option instead of something we can very easily get at any other time.
eh but once we are it much harder to bounce back and we already insanely armoured anyway too
so I much rather have something that can heal injuries in moments and if we lose limbs or something allow us to grow those back too without any problem then futher make ourselves super amoured also second chance at life is super op
if we get a mount we will have a lifelong friend/compain which will help

Bretonnia has a lot of Pegasus riders, though you're not going to find many going mercenary (dishonorable, you see)
Great Eagles you'll only find in Athel Loren.

Hmm, I wanted the Swordmasters because they're straight up the most elite option available, but Mistwalkers are good, and we do need a ranged option.
[ ] Plan Fire and Mist
[ ] 20 Mistwalkers of Yvresee (1 Point)
[ ] 5 Pegasus Knights (1 Point)
[ ] Fireclaw of Vaul (2 Points)
[ ] Student of the Anvil (1 Point)

Thanks, fixed.

Blood of Aenarion, which we took, says this pretty explicitly.
Somewhat, but not as much as having actual comrades would.
Yeah, but I personally would like to have someone Fanriel could talk to. Personally I'm leaning towards Mistwalkers since they seem to be the most flexible of the lot.

Ithlmar Chain is vastly inferior to the plate, so I don't consider that insanely armored. And we can still heal ourselves quite well with Gyaran spells.
also we can def be able to talk to it we are wizard we can just use that animal talking spell to also agin they are allies and freinds of the asur since forever they are a comrade and someone we could talk to
nowhere any where near the extent the feather will or anywhere the same extent in combat also @Blackout is this true
"Ithlmar Chain is vastly inferior to the plate"?
