According to the backstory, king Garon really loved the ladies and sired numerous illegimate children With his concubines (this was actually very common among royalty in 17th and 18th Century), all of which he loved equally. But then the concubines started fighting for power (this was less common, though tended to have distasterous results when it happened) and started assassinating each other and the children left right and center. By the time the plot rolls around the number of surviving children can be counted on one hand, all of them have issues and the king has stopped being the loving father like he used to. So while yuri leads to loving relationships, harems only lead to death and suffering. Than why do the Japanese love them in games and in anime. Because it is nothing but male wishfullfillment designed to attract Viewers and their money.

I am currently at mission 14 in Fire Emblem Fate: Conquest and must say that I have been greatly enjoying the game so far. Sure there have been some missions that required a restart because some died (missions 11 and 13 in particular) but the characters, level design and gameplay are as solid as ever. Now if you'll excuse me, it is time to pray at my shrine to RNGesus so that I may be gifted With great stats and victories in the Battles to come.

Still have not gone to the toy store to buy it, or i am going to wait a month or more to have it when i need to spend some time when i am going to vacation to the US.

Of course not. Next day was a Saturday and come Monday I just took it With me to play while traveling to another jobtrip. Honestly, what do you take me for, a Pole?

No a pole would do much other things, maybe a Canadian perhaps.

When I've had the time I've been trying my hand at Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. It has one hell of a learning curve.
