Crowns and Thrones (made by RandomMercenary) is a very strange hack. There are no level ups, gold and inventories are reset each map, and half your units are generics you are explicitly meant to sacrifice. But perhaps the strangest thing about it is its really fun! The experimental ideas flow together to create engaging FE4 sized maps with multiple objectives and a unique gameplay style unlike any mainline game or any other hack I've played. While this hack may not be to everyone, it is something I'd recommend everyone try, because it makes for a truly unique experience.
In Romhack Recommendations, I talk about Romhacks I enjoyed, go over the features I enjoyed about them, and try to give a general review/recommendation as to what to expect if you choose to play them. Remember that all these hacks are made for free by members of the community who are passionate enough to spend tons of time working, so even if you personally do not like a specific hack, be kind in your criticism.

    I kinda like the idea that each chapter has its own complete set of resources independent of the others. No need to hold onto uses of the strong weapons if they're going poof anyway.

    This hack sounds very cool. I really dig the FE4 sprites. My takeaways are: play on a lower difficulty and use save-states.

    you’re one of the few FE creators covering rom hacks. i know it’s p niche but I can see it getting as big as pokemon rom hacking especially with how accessible febuilder has made things. i frequent feu regularly as well and i still find out new hacks to try through your channel

    I'm at chapter 2 on normal mode, and I seriously have NO idea how the hell I'm supposed to even complete it. With how strong the enemies are compared to the generics (and even the commanders get worn down uncomfortably quicky), and I have to get past a mage knight to break down the wall. It's fun so far but I'm amazed how brutally difficult it is just on normal, let alone hard

    I think it could be more interesting that some commanders have really good combat but less leadership stars and some have a lot of leadership stars but bad to mediocre combat.

    This kinda reminds me of Langrisser with the use of generic units and the map sizes are just as big if not a little smaller

    FE players when they discover generics. On a more serius note, I'm sold and definitely will be trying this up. Thanks for the reccomendation. Also, as someone who has never played this hack before ¿What would you think about this fix? Make the commander characters able to die, but replace them with generic ones with identical gameplay, while keeping the characters dead for story purposes. At least at a first glance I think it would alleviate the issues you had with the latter parts of the gameplay, as well as play into the hack's strenghts and reinforce it's central theme. Thanks in advance.

    Hm, damn, having the big maps of FE4 without the saves sounds really rough... _but you know, what if I play it on native hardware anyway...?_ For real though, is that a bad idea?

    Eh... removing every mechanic that makes FE unique doesn't really make me want to play this. I was never able to get into Advance Wars despite its similarities to FE because I found the absence of connective tissue between maps to make the game a lot less interesting, even if it means the games can be more tightly designed. And this romhack doesn't actually seem to have tight design to make up for it, from the way you describe it.
