So I just saw a video talking about the worst map in the game. I never played it on my first playthrough but I did recently on my second. I think someone mentioned it in this topic its the map after the time skip.

I did struggle on this map even in Hard Mode but I thought it was because I screwed up leveling up my units or something. I didnt put much thought into it outside of that. I remember Byleth could be one rounded by the enemy and there was no way that map would be that hard without me screwing up ahead of time. Apparently.. I was wrong.

If that map is that difficulty by design... I cant imagine that map on Maddening Mode. Jesus...

Reunion at Dawn can flat out end runs in some cases.

-The unit positioning is awful and leaves a lot of vulnerable units in terrible spots out of the gate.

-You're stuck with your class units, so if you've invested into Church characters, students from other houses, or DLC characters, you're just fucked for it.

-On BL, you get Gilbert, who gets one rounded by just about any of the enemies in Maddening by default and is dead weight out of the box.

-You can't do much for preps minus some very mild item shuffling if you back out, so if you aren't set up for it, you're screwed.

Basically...yeah, it's a miserable chapter on Maddening. It's one of the best examples of "This game was not designed with Maddening in mind at all."
