Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon/Chapter 11

Knorda Market ""Tired from so many long battles, Marth and the League arrive at last in Akan- eia, Princess Nyna's mother kingdom. Past the mountains lay the royal palace, known to some as Millennium Court; and within its walls awaited many treasures and captives the enemy had taken.''""

""With each step, Marth draws nearer to one of the great waypoints on his journey""

Preparation
Do the normal, pick your units and trade the unnecessary items.

Begin
It is important to visit House #6 (to the west bordering the lake).
 * Houses
 * 1) The shops/armory has rare goods.
 * 2) Some citizens are being held hostage.
 * 3) There are three legendary weapons that have been passed down.
 * 4) War sickens her.
 * 5) Ballistae are far-ranged units that can destroy fliers fast.
 * 6) Jake is a good person. Try to recruit him with a "beautiful" woman (Anna).

First thing to do is press. The huge range from the enemy ballistae covers a few of your units. The ballistae are stationary, but they will attack your units nevertheless. They pack quite a punch and they should be avoided when possible.

There are a few things you should take care of:
 * 1) Send a flier past the mountains to the right and attack. All the enemies should attack him/her and die.
 * 2) Leave an archer to take care of the immediate Pegasus Knight threat from the north.
 * 3) Move the rest of your units forward between the mountains, keep in mind the  enemy attack range.

The southeast region is filled with houses and a few shops. Visit the village on the corner of the map to get Linde.

Charge the first ballista (in the north). You shouldn't take too much damage if you used units like cavaliers. Quickly wipe out the ballistian, keep a wary eye on the sniper that has a killer bow.

After, make sure you eliminate Khozen – he cannot be recruited. Because of this, he is like a mini-boss.

Keep moving along and note that the boss is recruitable if, and only if, you have visited the house with Anna in it. You need Shiida to recruit him so be prepared.

You get a better, similar-class unit later, so keep his weapon until then. Before you seize the gate, you might want to consider buying stuff in the shops and using the arena to train a bit. Afterward, seize the gate whenever you feel like. Save the game and get ready for a truly rushed, fast-paced fighting map next.
