TheAngelOfDeath Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well personally i don't want to get into how different Advance WArs and Fire Emblem.

Emeraldfox Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Days of Ruin is pretty rad. Granted it's the only AW game Ive played. But still. Isabella makes me go 'Ahhhhn~!' sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 AW:DS was better than DoR, in my opinion. Heck, DS's hard mode was almost as hard as Radiant Dawn's easy mode, part 1... I think that Advance Wars is so much easier than FE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've only played AW:DS and AW:DoR/DC But seriously, I think that FE is much harder than AW. I wonder if anyone agrees with me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAngelOfDeath Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Glad to know all of you have your opinions. My favorite game is probably DoR because it has awesome charactors. It's probably my favorite game on the DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whase Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I've played the 2 AW's for GBA on emulator, I really liked them, but I've never finished either of them. I've also downloaded the one for DS, but my laptop is too slow to play it. I use too many FE strategies in AW, so I always fail. FE is easier IMO.

Pride Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 AW1 had that AI that targeted APCs for no reason and made the game a spot easier than it should have been. AW2 is probably my favorite. Campaign and war room were solid, especially Green Earth on hard and two-on-one maps in the war room. Granted the AI was predictable enough to follow turn-by-turn strategies to beat but only pansies look those up. No, I've only played AW:DS and AW:DoR/DCBut seriously, I think that FE is much harder than AW. I wonder if anyone agrees with me... AWDS was a cakewalk. It's one of the few games I know where hard mode is easier than normal. It was fun though. As for AW and FE difficulty relating to each other, it all depends on which game, what difficulty, who you're using etc. Kind of tough to measure. And DoR was the best in terms of multiplayer, just because it didn't have anyone or anything that was really impossible to deal with (read: Colin, Hachi, Sensei, infantry/mech spam) besides the obviously broken final boss.

Iced Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 AW:DS was better than DoR, in my opinion. finally someone who shares my opinions! I hated DoR for what it did to the look and feel of advance wars. AW:DS was probably my favorite, even though CO powers were overpowered beyond belief (that was half the fun :P ) I just felt all the CO's got really nerfed in DoR, to the point where it didn't matter who you picked they all really played the same.

General Spoon Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 In AW:DS, the Dual Strike of Drake and Olaf rips basically everything to shreds. You take a normal turn with Drake, and at the end of your turn, you use the dual strike. This is because Drake's Dual Strike causes FoW (if you have adequate detection/are already in FoW, then you can start the dual strike at the start of your turn). So now all enemy units lose two health, and have their fuel halved. But wait, there's more! Now you swap out to Olaf, who takes off another 2 health from every enemy unit, and they now use twice the regular amount of fuel for the next two turns.

Tabitha and Caulder were still OP'ed by a lot, but other than that, I agree with that assessment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albus Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yeah, I tend to like DoR the most mainly because of the weaker CO effects and generally better balance (from my experience, at least). CO powers were okay I guess, but something like the double turn system in dual strike was just ridiculous. Didn't really care for DoR's new xtreme serious business environment that much though, but I guess it's kind of an improvement over the previous titles' overbearing cheerfulness.
