What's the thought process that goes into designing a strategy for my Conquest run?

THE CHALLENGE
- I must recruit all 40 characters in the normal playable cast of Conquest. (Capturable enemies and DLC/Amiibo units are not required.)
- Every character must be trained: at the end of the campaign, the sum of their level before promotion and their displayed level in their final class must be at least 25. For the purposes of this rule, Felicia, Jakob, Gunter, Camilla, and Leo are considered to have been level 0, 0, 5, 10, and 16 before promotion, respectively.
- No DLC or multiplayer battles are allowed.

BONUS OBJECTIVES
- Have every character get married. (Gunter, Shura, Flora, and Izana need only unlock an A-rank support with Corrin.)
- For each character, acquire an additional class with an A+ support, if possible. (Characters who can't get new classes this way, like Jakob, should unlock A-rank support with Corrin instead.)
- Kidnap all of the unique capturable bosses.

OTHER RULES
- DLC, path bonuses, visitation bonuses, and battle bonuses are banned.
- No random events in My Castle (Lottery Shop, conversations around the castle, etc.) are allowed. Birthdays are included in this ban. I may use the Private Quarters once, immediately after chapter 6, when it is not random.
- Einherjar, Logbook, DLC, Amiibo, and Bond units are banned.
- Facilities like Lilith's Temple and the Prison that refresh over time may only be used once between maps. The exception is that I can use them, upgrade them, and then immediately use them again.
- I am allowed unlimited food and gems, but not Dragon Vein Points.
- I can acquire a Chef's Hat. I cannot visit other castles for any other purpose.
- I may manipulate results from the Mess Hall according to the abilities of my best chef. (So I can't get Exquisite meals until I acquire Jakob, Peri, or Percy.)
