#corrin is simultaneously considered a tactical genius while being completely unable to explain their reasoning for their big moves

I really love the idea of the dynamics of Askr's tactics room cuz like

Robin and Morgan playing chess is much more of a spectacle when they're surrounded by people on their level. Plus there are 2 Robins and 4 Morgans and all the Morgans have something to prove with beating both Robin's. Hearing "Morgan is challenging Robin" does not narrow it down.

Morgan Drama in general, I feel like the four of them would be at each other's throats because "there's no way that you're me, you arent even good enough to be my fake"

All of them are tacticians who put their everything into making sure their friends survive, so any disagreements have a LOT more weight thrown around.

Also the difference in morals is interesting.

Soren is very "this is my job and that's it, we don't need to do anything further" which might change since he's now working for the Askr Royal Family and not a mercenary company, but I am not certain, citation needed.

Claude is more open to trickery, deceit and dishonerable tactics, but is very "leave no one behind" morally. He doesn't leave those under his purview helpless at the cost of the mission(particularly in 3Hopes)

Katarina is an assassin who just became a tactician as part of her cover, she keeps trying to leave but Kris won't let her. Major imposter syndrome because the Robins and Morgans keep saying she's a big deal.

Anna and the Summoner open the door to Leo and Takumi arguing and slowly close the door as they make direct eye contact with Byleth who's just taking notes on the actual legitimate points they're making.

Iago is there because he is technically Nohr's main tactician but no one listens to him or likes him because he's just objectively evil.

Aversa is also evil but the Robins and Morgans vouch for her and that annoys her even more than being ignored.

Every once in a while the Lords drop by to make sure their tacticians have eaten anything.

The more independent Lords who were their own tacticians try, but they get VERY lost very quickly.

Heaven help the students when the Byleths required them to sit in on the room and write a paper summarizing what decisions were made and why.

Different reference books from different worlds. There's a solid two weeks after anyone mentions a famous tactician that they studied where everyone's just like "who the hell is that" until they've all immediately devored every book that person wrote to debate whether or not they're full of garbage.
