Notes

There is a recruitable enemy mage called Hugh holding the only obtainable Member Card in the game. He's a unique recruitment, in that he asks the player for a 10000G payment. You can haggle him down to 8000G, 6000G, and finally 5000G by declining his offer, and all of his base stats will drop by 1 for each declined offer. If you only want the Member Card and don't feel like paying 5000G for it, you can steal it from Hugh with a Thief and kill him off.
Having Douglas (the enemy General that starts on the left side) survive is a requirement for unlocking the gaiden. Douglas will not attack Larum or Elffin, so you could try to trap him using them and other high avoid units that have been stripped of their weapons. Another option is to use the Sleep staff, since he only has 5 Res.
Narcian holds the only obtainable Delphi Shield in the game, and it can be stolen along with a Blue Gem.
The Manaketes on this map will not move, even if you attack them from 2 range. They can be used to grind Bow rank easily, since their high HP and defense lets them survive many Iron Bow attacks from units like Sue, Sin, and Igrene.
