Caster Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've started the playing the series recently. I like it. I beat 1 the other day and now I'm starting on 2. It's a bit hard for me to play because I try to play it like Fire Emblem and that doesn't really work. I think I'm finally getting used to it Eagle da bess Except Rivals! fuck that noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm pretty sure the consensus is that 1 is the hardest. Especially advance campaign. Fuck advance campaign. You think Rivals on NC is hard? You're in for a treat. APCs are your best friend. It's kind of funny; I started out playing AW and then came to FE; keeping my units alive was a little difficult to grasp (but why can't I just make mooooore??). Eagle's cool. AW2 Eagle is cooler (IMO). AWDS Eagle is somewhat OP (again, IMO). All hail the Prince of the Skies! Not sure where I was going with this. Welcome to the AW fan club, I guess? Indirect bomber badges are currently on back order. I apologize for the inconvenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The 1st one is definitely one of the harder ones in the series. Not to mention that final level takes forever to be beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I love the difficulty in AW1. Dual Strike is such a push over compared to it. Any fans should check out this hack for some new War Room challenges and COs to play with http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/909/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't just spam fighters in Rivals what are you talking about? I see we are opposite Eagle is super cool. I'm making my way through 2 rather well. I think it's difficulty is just right. I think 1 got a little too hard at times. Edited March 27, 2015 by Sophie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omglmaowtf Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Wait, by 1 do y'all mean AW1 on the GBA or Famicom Wars on NES? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Shiden Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I agree AW1 on GBA was pretty tough, then it just got ridiculously easy onwards with the introduction of Sensei and Colin. I was surprised at how over powered mech spam and cheap bomber spams ended up being. I never played Famicon Wars on the NES but I heard it was pretty brutal as well. I wish they started working on a new Advance Wars game, either on the Wii U or the 3DS. Days of Ruin was good although you could use the same strategy for the last level and always get rather consistent results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Haha advance wars is great my favouvrite CO is max. Max+Lrg tank recks all. Never played two due to emulation problems however like several people said in here and the rest of the internet says its really good and better than 1. I'm still hoping for a 3ds advance wars...

PuffPuff Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well...it's nice to see that some fandom hasn't died from this series. Eagle is a little OP'd. Andy is as average CO as you can ever find. End of AW1 Strum, like another Deathborn. Max misses in the indirect dept. Sami's better for ground combat. Nell/Hachi, the un-reliable's that can only be used in versus mode. Great game!

Psych Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Dual Strike was always my favorite. Sasha Colin was the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragnell Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Is Days of Ruin considered difficult, or am I just terrible at this series? It's definitely weird going between FE and AW, since the mindsets required for them are so incredibly different. So far DoR is the only game in the series I have played, and the fact that I got stuck halfway through it definitely turned me off to the series.

Psych Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Days of Ruin is kind of the black sheep of the series. It does away with a lot of the usual aspects of the series and I would probably call it harder but I don't think I ever finished it either.

Zera Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I wish they started working on a new Advance Wars game, either on the Wii U or the 3DS. I'm still hoping for a 3ds advance wars... And I'm still hoping for a new Sin and Punishment game on Wii U. ...Your hopes and dreams are delicious. BTW, I have a review for Advance Wars Dual Strike - http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=51796 Crystal Calamity in the Hard Campaign defeated me. I'll get back to it eventually.

Delphi Sage Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 That's fine. While we're on the subject of Advance Wars, you ever heard of Totally Flaked? http://www.advance-wars-net.com/?g=fanworks&m=Totally_Flaked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I don't know where this talk of DoR being the black sheep comes from, I adored that game just like every other entry in the series. The dialed back approach to CO powers was really refreshing for multiplayer coming off of years of "dude if you pick colin again imma fuck you up". Getting all S-Ranks in DoR challenge maps was fun too, although more finicky with the scoring than classic War Room. Not to mention the vaaaaastly improved map editor I hope AW gets the Awakening treatment( Waifu all the COs). please no we dont need it we need anything but that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fei Mao Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Advance wars is great, especially if you have friends to play with, I remember playing 1v1 on a small map (forgot the name) and that took a day to finish because it became a battle of attrition. I always did like the references to other nations in those games. Forscythe for best CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
