yeah I'll be honest with you I just kinda like AW more aesthetically than anything else
plus it was my first
let me revise that for you:
AW>AW2>>>AW:DS=AW:DoR

No forced tutorial and campaign had you facing different specialist COs instead of the same five every map is my reason for preferring the 1st game over the 2nd

Screen nuke CO powers were my favorite, probably the only reason I used Drake so much

DS had problems but Andy/Hawke tags were not one of them

oh yeah I forgot
way more interesting to fight the different members of other continents than just

I don't know how you've managed to miss all the RTS threads we have or why you'd assume people talking about AW would mention their taste in other strategy games. Maybe you should try lurking for a few weeks before you complain about a non-existent problem.

>RTS
Yea Forums only plays gookcraft and AoE2 (badly). There are plenty of far more interesting turn based strategy games that blow AW out of the water, but I'm quite sure you don't play any of them.

I do but why would I talk about them in a thread for AW? It's only 30 posts in for fucks sake, I don't even know what you're trying to achieve here.

Rolling for NELL

Being obsessed with a thread about a video game franchise on a video game board isn't autism? If you're that annoyed by it, just filter out "Advance Wars" you idiot.

LOL LE NAZI MEMES XD

What good strategy games are there these days? And I don't mean RTS since those are more about mechanical skill than anything. I guess XCOM is good but that's only squad based rather than a full army themed turn based game.

Well there's AWBW but it's really slow and QOL is a bit on the low end

based and /pol/pilled
Sieg Heil dude!

Lol just spam arty and mechs

Tumblr culture, art direction and over the top forced diversity, with all females being the stereotypical feminist dyke.

Gameplay is obviously derivative of AW, but with lazy map design, clunky hero units and questionable unit balance. Most importantly for story mode it fails to have a tight difficulty curve like AW to keep you thinking in gameplay.

It's the best game in the series and you should be playing it with me on Zwei right now.

It's fine gameplay wise. The dark gritty post apocalyptic theme is overdone and lost much of the charm of the originals

Good game that got caught in the era of DAE BROWN GRAFIX.
The balance was top notch since they dialed back on the craziness AW2 and DS built up on.
CO units and auras made positioning and stat mismatching even more important as did using CO powers as checkmates
It also played really fast too with being able to skip animations, touch controls and better UI

Good enough. I appreciate the effort taken to balance it, still think AW2 is the best AW game though.

I dunno, the other guy was complaining that AW was 18 years old. I guess anything to still be alive online.

grit is arguably the worst CO though

if kanbei has a unit on an HQ or mountain with full health under effects of his SCOP, that unit is literally invincible for that turn and will always take 0% damage, no matter what. there are definitely some things they did not playtest.

Oops I meant both designs are nice

Attached: 523796-sonja.jpg (267x600, 18K)

hachi sturm grit and colin are beyond god tier in aw2. sensei is the closest to also being in that tier but he usually loses to those 4
kanbei and sami would be the next best, then it doesn't matter
max is awful though unfortunately

How so? Spam mechs and artillery until you get missiles and rockets and the enemy is pinned ez

nobody unironically holds this opinion user, youll have to try harder than that

You guys fucking retarded? The japanase version of Advance wars was released years after the american one

Attached: Sami,.jpg (480x720, 105K)

Yes, and? It was planned to release only days after the American one, but 9/11 caused it to happen much later.
That doesn't mean the game wasn't developed in Japanese first.

>this japanese game was made entirely for americans

literally never

Days of Ruin was.

>grit
>S tier
Why does everyone hype him so much? Indirect units can't move and attack during the same turn, so they're strictly worse than direct units for pushes. So long as the map doesn't have a fuckload of mountain chokepoints as well as not having an airport he's just a good defensive CO in a game where winning the mid fight in\s the most important thing.

>Kanbei is worse
why the fuck would he wear samurai armor? It looks fucking retarded

No, he is right
You can steamroll grit easily due to his weak direct attack units and artillery and rockets and battleships can't shoot the same turn you move them, so in a player vs player fight he is kinda sucky compared to hachi which floods you with shitton of units and storm with his massive power dick

Unless on a very checkpoint heavy map, Kanbei can deal with Grits' general approach (by no means is Grit low teir in AW2 though, that other user is a loon).

>I guess anything to still be alive online.

i take it you havent actually played the game before

I'm not entirely sure about that myself, but that is exactly what happened, you dense motherfucker.
Please, feel free to keep posting. Your stupidity is hilarious to me.

He's the emperor, he can do what he wants

What would they even call a new Advance Wars? The GBA era is long gone.

I take it you've never played online user. Advance Wars is about the mid fight. In a 1v1 once a player takes the middle factory and an economic advantage the game is over, and grits toolkit actively hurts him in accomplishing that. Even his Co power doesn't help him since he still needs to rely on direct attack units and infantry to push/capture cities. He's god against player who have no idea how to play the game and ruin their economy by rushing into grits ranged units, but any competent player can tell you that direct units are superior to ranged units in high level play.

i have played over a thousand competitive games during the time between aw2 and awds came out, when it was only aw2 on awbw and also on the client we used on wars world news. its obvious you guys have no idea what you are talking about. grit sturm colin and hachi were almost globally banned because they were too strong

In Japan, the games were was named based on the console it was released on, so you had Famicom Wars, Super Famicom Wars, Game Boy Wars, etc.
In the west, it would probably still be called Advance Wars, since even games released on DS ended up being called Advance Wars. Then again, you also have Battalion Wars, which while somewhat different in playstyle, is still considered part of the Nintendo Wars franchise.
So it's up in the air, I guess.

Switch Wars doesn't seem like an awful naming option.

Grit is good, but he's only in S tier on maps that favour him. Hachi and Colin are broken everywhere, and and Kanbei too so long as the map isn't heavily money restricted. The reason he's put into the best tier is becasue most "good" maps are balanced around having lots of terrain that gets in the way of direct movement as well as having fog of war, both things that greatly benefit an indirect combat CO. He's much weaker without FoW and on more open maps.

What if they added mecha to Advance Wars?

Rolling for grit or sturm

Who is Green Earth based on? England? Or just Europe in general?

does this play like youre controlling one unit or multiple? I'll probably try it at some point

One unit, but you switch between units frequently
It's worth playing

You ever play the console versions of battlefield? Its something like that.

Europe in general but each CO represents a specific part. Only ones I can remember off the top of my head is Javier and Spain. Eagle is maybe Germany and Drake is either UK or France?

Drake being UK would make sense since he's a naval power, and Jess being France works because France were the first to use large amounts of tanks on the battlefield
Eagle's Lightning Strike is straight up blitzkrieg, so he's definitely German

If you join a session with people on it, ask if there's any available open spots. If so, type:
