I'm with team Cordelia and we're obviously going to lose against Camilla. Do you still get the feathers if you lose? I don't know if I should spend all my flags in this match.
Yeah you still get feathers for at least trying and ranking amongst your fellow Cordelia followers.
If you want, you can also save the flags for the final showdown since if you lose you get to pick who to side with for the next round.
I'm intending to do that so that victory's assured for Camilla.
If the goal is to earn as many feathers as possible, then going for the less popular characters is actually better. Those characters will have less players supporting them, thus if you invest some of your flags, you're going to rank much higher than if you join a popular character with the same flag investment. You earn feathers based on your ranking within the army you chose, regardless of wether you won or not (though the winning army does get an additional +500 feathers).
