I prefer to think that Ramza and Delita had help from some classmates at the academy for Chapter 1. I dismiss them as soon as Chapter 2 begins as I don't see random noblemen's children joining Ramza's cause so easily.

And leveling new members from lvl 1? Quite annoying...

I don't level any additional characters. I use Rad, Lavian, and Alicia for the majority of Chapter 2. Lavian and Alicia are tied to Agrias, so there are some challenging battles with only Ramza, Rad, and Mustadio for a brief part of the game. They're all doable. Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are my favorites.

Seems interesting, I think I'll try it on my next playthrough.
