What on earth were they thinking with this character?

She is basically a Female sturm.

I haven't played Wargroove, what went wrong?

>Enemy focuses units at the Tabitha tank
>You don't get to build any bar from counterattacking because of her 0 CO zone but still have to take damage
>Forced to retreat it and heal while the opponent gets to smack your otherwise completely average army with their improved units and continue charging their bar because they have an actual CO zone

Where are the friggin mod tools

I remember "competitive" AW on this game, it was determined that Tabitha was balanced if you had airports

everyone is sleeping on the TRUE top tier of the game seriously though, his co power takes games for free

>implying a single OP unit is strong in mechflood the game the meta
you're just begging her to get baited and murdered by a swarm of indirects
you might have a point if you said an air unit but those have their own problems as well and then you might just play Waylon instead

It's not groovy at all.

I like all four Advance Wars game equally :-)

in one word: chucklefish
in more words: the devs are probably just lazy and inexperienced. it took them more than a month to release a QoL patch and by that time everyone was bored of the game and constant pikespam with support from Nuru dropping well-calculated trebuchets right on the frontline.

>smelly fujo bait
>A real man's man

I wouldn't say 'wrong', it just wasn't good enough to fill the void left by Nintendo's indifference. COs don't really add anything to the game, the multiplayer is kinda dead because of how unbalanced the weather and map designs were, war room is replaced by a puzzle mode you complete in an hour and then never look at again, story mode is a whole lot of nothing, character designs are a little boring with theme songs to reflect that. It's just bland.

The only interesting idea on offer was a crit system where each unit had a way to amp their damage if certain criteria were met(standing on high-defense terrain, attacking without moving, etc). Ultimately I think it was poorly implemented, the 'mech infantry' unit was especially galling. With some more thought put into it, I think it could have been an interesting way to add some mechanical depth to a unit. Maybe instead of just increased damage, they could have altered how far a unit can move, or improve their retaliation strength, make terrain harder to move through, etc.

This was the secret sauce of AW for me. I was totally new to the genre but the music kept me hanging through the longest battles. Are there any other tactics games with catchy osts?

I've been playing Tasha more lately since copter rushes are fun as fuck. Her theme is severely underrated.

Any defeated unit in his zone is raped and produces a unit of his own color on the same square

Yggdra Union

That chapter wasn't hard at all, just build anti-airs early on and protect Tasha's units, Waylon will shit himself and idle until his airforce starts running out of fuel and starts getting reckless. The real problem chapter was pic related.

CO power is garbage

Thats not even the good CO theme...

In the spirit of having somewhat underwhelming CO powers like with everyone in DoR
>Loot and Plunder: Reduces the ammo/fuel of all enemy units by half

Worse day-to-day, no CO unit variety, crit conditions lead to more samey skirmishes

How are the co powers underwhelming? Not being instant win buttons is a huge improvement in game play.

Cos like Grayson are super fucking strong. Same with Penny and Gage

I still think units of IDS COs should of had different sprites.

never forget

>Nintendo's Hitoshi Yamagami - who worked as producer on three Advance Wars titles, including the last entry, 2008's Days of Ruin - said he'd be keen to return to the series. The problem, though, is how it could assimilate one of Fire Emblem's most popular features - the relationship-building that takes place on the battlefield.

>"Personally, I'd love to do Advance Wars, but since it's harder to create relationships between its characters compared to Fire Emblem, I don't have a clear idea of what kind of setting it could have," Yamagami told Eurogamer.

Really, though, who doesn't want to see two MD tanks get it on in order to make a little baby MD tank?

>Intelligent Systems, at least, seems just as keen to return to the series. "The Advance Wars series is one that I personally have a lot of interest in," said Masahiro Higuchi, a producer on Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia and a contributor to 2001's Advance Wars. "I hear some of the staff here saying that they want to make one too, so if we have a chance it's something I'd like to do!"

Just as long as one of those COs I can date is Tabitha.

Muh nigga.

Greyfield requires an enormous amount of uncontested momentum for Supply Chain to be useful, and it's really only good for a massive seaplane rush. Penny is kind of the same, except you're never sure what you're gonna get and rain can fuck you over if you were planning a push. I'll give you Gage though, but Will and Tasha's +2 movement are hilariously useless.
I'm not arguing for broken CO powers, but they really could use some tuning

What if AW goes the custom MC route and lets you create a CO? You can choose what gimmick your CO has, like those add-ons in Dual Strike.

Oh shit nigger, IS called you and asked you what you want for the next AW. Do you pick

Isabella is is practically a better Will. Too bad you barely get to use her.

She is main character CO, yet you Never ever use during the campaign.

Used him and kambi online

Days of Ruin please, the darker tone was actually a breath of fresh air.

What did IS mean by this?

pls explain to a shitter how you’re supposed to beat DoR’s final map without following a guide. Not even Meteor Man threw this much bullshit.

I actually want to see a prequel to days of ruin that takes place before the word ended.

Rush the objectives as fast as you can. The longer the fight takes, the more likely you are to lose.

Focus capturing the com towers and invest all your resources into bombing the shit out of the cannons. Some of it is luck too, if Caulder himself gets in a unit and manages to reach you just restart.

>build a shitload of higher-tier units early to build a defensive position the enemy can't challenge and win the early game rush for resources

All it took to beat me was a smart tactical strike or a blitzkrieg but people see the one Md tank and forget that without power of money Colin's units are pretty shitty and bitch out

As long as they realize this is not Fire Emblem, and they ramp up the combat banter to 11, I'm fine.

Penny would be so much better with one simple change, let her choose which weather effect to use with her power.

>put this bad boy in a duster/AT gun
>win
turns out the strongest power was not have any power at all

but it's current IS
don't expect it

You'd also have to buff rain and snow so people would actually choose them.
>snow doubles movement costs like it did on GBA
>penny completely ignores fog when it's caused by rain

I agree that her and Gage's themes are underrated. But the same could be said about DoR as a whole.

Fuck I remember having to redo this one so damn often because either the AI let itself die on purpose or RNG screwed me out of destroying the meteors by like 1 point and it gave Waylon a chance to fuck me over. 0/10, worst map next to the one where you fight endless reinforments on the airship.

That was actually a hilarious power with Drake, completely shut down aircraft on long range missions. Not great on small maps though.

Was this game rushed? Why were there only two yellow COs? This motherfucker, Cyrus and the raider guy could have all easily been playable.

I fucking loved Dual Strike. It was crazy broken but in a fun way, tons of skills and combinations. And if you try to coast through the campaign it whips out something crazy like Crystal Calamity and you get fucked.

DoR was still good but dumping a bucket of grim and gritty post-apocalyptic mud over Advance Wars' colorful festival of destruction was the dumbest decision. The bright, cheerful style is easily one of the series' strongest points. It was less broken than DS, but I didn't feel it was balanced enough to make up for the loss of content. And don't get me started on the fucking Chaikas.

Honestly, I'm thinking option 3. Or maybe a timeskip so we can get a new generation of COs. From AW to BHR and DS they just kept adding more and more COs/powers/units/mechanics, and while that's awesome it's basically unsustainable from a balance and design perspective. I'd dial that down to a manageable level for both devs and players. I just want it to be as vibrant as the original series.

I wish there was a modding scene that would re-tool and balance the older games kind of like the smashfags had with Project M.

Tabitha is my favorite CO and after playing her extensively, she's balanced.
Unironically git gud

Are there any good military/tactical AW-esque games that isn't fantasy based? Fire Emblem is the scourge of the genre.

War of the Human Tanks
Don't expect AW though.

I would say mostly because the artstyle
nobody wants to play as a young girl that looks like a granny
seriously, the designs for most of the COs are such a turn off

My only gripe with DoR is the fact that you only have two designs for each unit instead of the usual 5.
