Congrats 💜💖(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)💖💜

[@dewottgaming1507]

so I'm just rewatching all of these. and I wanted to say that there is no such thing as increased base luck in dual strike. it's still 0-9 by default if you have no modifiers from COs, skills, tag stars or powers. if you want to test it you can try attacking 50 tanks on roads with tanks as hawke. the 10% extra firepower sets the damage to 60%, meaning it will do 60-69% so it will never do 7HP of damage if there is no increased luck. the situation you had in the video was a megatank taking 5HP from a Neotank. the megatank however was damaged by a piperunner before so the displayed 8HP was probably in the low 70s if the piperunner rolled average luck. the neotank then just needs a good roll (7-9%) to get it down to 3HP (the piperunner doing 24-32% and the neotank doing 35-43% damage. co-power boost and terrain defense are included in this calc)

[@kingandcountry1242]

Fun Fact: if you deploy Hawke and Lash as one of the teams in Mission 23, you get some dialogue between them. Lash says that when she heard of the clone Olaf, she was afraid the real Olaf had heard about her joining the coalition and came to deal with her as revenge for destroying his hometown in AW2. Afterwards, she tells Hawke to keep the whole thing a secret from the other coalition COs. Neat little nod to the last game.

[@kentmichaelgalang686]

iirc mangs hated dual strike's story because something about getting disappointed with his expectations of the plot having olaf joining black hole for lash destroying olaf's hometown, wonder if he knew that bit of dialogue already

[@mauricesteel4995]

@@kentmichaelgalang686 i think Olaf joining Black Hole would be assinine considering his story with them, it wasn't Lash personally that destroyed his town, she was the pawn in charge of it, he might have a personal grudge against her, but joining the faction that ordered her to do so would be completely retarded, and Olaf already had enough being manipulated by BH.

[@danielkilworth1076]

I think a couple co duo's have unique dialogue on some missions. The cos that come to fight you before joining like Grimm and sensei

[@hexkirn]

@@danielkilworth1076 it has been a while, but I think in normal campaign any combination with synergy stars gets a dialogue.

[@riluna3695]

This...does not appear to be true? Their shared dialogue on that mission goes like this: Hawke: "If I didn't know better, I'd think that was Olaf himself, Lash." Lash: "Tee hee! Yeah, good copy, huh? Everyone's freakin' out, but I'll just keep the facts to myself for a bit." Where and when are you seeing that deeper discussion? If it exists I'd love to know.

battles in AW are kinda like battles in Puyo Puyo, where hundreds of puyos are killed every battle but no one cares, but its people instead of colored blobs, the battles end up being just a proxy for battles between two commanders.

You know the campaign is broken when Hachi was available but there were better options the entire time

[@Mangs1337]

Yeah. Hachi is a snowball CO, but he takes time to get going which isn't ideal. In the campaign you want speed.

[@Voidling242]

Except for the tag stars with Sensei in max attacks. Also: sensei + hachi in final mission. Compleatly busted.

[@MrMarinus18]

Not really. Unit discounts aren't very valuable in a deathless playthrough. Colin was only useful to get stronger units out a turn earlier. The advantage of discounts is that you can outgrind your opponent and win value wise. But if you're not allowed to lose any unit that is not really an option.

[@MrxD-cg5xs]

Okay one mistake I’ve seen you do here quite consistently is that, when in a sky fortress mission, you send up your fighters to the second front immediately. Do not do that. The tile these fighters will spawn in when you send them up is based on the tile you decided to send them up from. This means you can move your fighters in on the bottom screen and then on day 2 put them right into the enemy backlines, allowing them to immediately take out their black bombs in the process. I don’t know if that is enough to make you not lose a unit on that front, however it does greatly increase the survivability of your army there.

[@Mangs1337]

This one took a full month to make. Enjoy guys

The power meter you gain when your CPU joins your main army is not actually because of the CPU CO's power meter but it comes from your units that the CO controls you "lose" based on the unit value. It has nothing to do with the co's power meter, as far as I'm aware.

One thing that I find very cool in this challenge is how many unique CO combos come in clutch for certain missions (well aside from Colin + Sasha being slightly omnipresent)

[@isenokami7810]

Not to mention Kanbei and Sonja. Who I might use against the War Room.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

It should be noted though that the star-level skills, the highest ones, only become available AFTER you've beaten Hard Mode at least once. They're deliberately broken, in other words.

[@dropinota]

It feels so fitting that Flak got to be the CO to end the run with. "Yes! Here is Flak's power!" Great video Mangs, can't wait for the FE8 live stream.

[@gamermanzeake]

Defense stacking is indeed completely broken in this game. It is actually something I hope is changed in the Reboot Camp (if we ever get them!) Days Of Ruin fixed the terrible means of calculating defense against attack by subtraction rather than multiplication as attack is calculated.

[@Renewablefrog1224]

I remembered getting stuck on an early mission in Dual Strike as a kid, and was waiting to see it pop up. And sure enough, Lightning Strikes, there it is. Seeing it actually be hard gave me a bit of vindication, and seeing you crush it without lossless, brings a smile to my face!

[@somewackoonyoutube2449]

The fact Von Bolt kinda got his butt kicked by Flak is a real slap in the face lol

[@Xen778]

Thanks! Watching your different strategies for each mission is really interesting, I love this type of video. I'm so happy there is so much AW content even after so long, and you're a big part of that.

[@RadioTails]

The AI in AWDS is interesting as in VS mode, you can choose the AI Behavior. Well the Map Header data doesn't actually store this value for each map, but depending on the mode, it uses the AI value. Here are my notes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0218932E: CPU AI 00 = Strike 01 = Assault 02 = General 03 = Defense It seems WR/SV is always set to "General" It seems CP is always set to "Strike" The settings are not in the Map Header, but hardcoded. 02290728 (RAM) = Mode 0229072E (RAM) = AI Value for WR/SV 0229072F (RAM) = AI Value for Campaign 020C177C = Move AI Value to CPU AI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So War Room/Survival, the AI is set to "General", and Campaign/Hard Campaign, the AI is set to "Strike". I'm not really sure what the difference is between Strike and Assault, but the AI in the Campaign is keen to attack your units. :)

[@starempresshel1211]

Amazing video! Noticed four CO's weren't used during the entire playthrough which happened to be Hawke, Sami, Kindle and Jugger. Least Flak got to come in at the end as if angry that Von Bolt wasn't Sturm (Which shame he isn't a secret CO)

[@vonheer7418]

@44:20 Kanbei and Javier have a tag bonus because they are both traditional warriors. They are kindred spirits.

[@xith1349]

Hey Mangs, I feel like this effort actually deserves something from me for once. This was the first DS game I ever got, and my introduction to Advance Wars in general. While Days of Ruin is my personal favorite, this one is a close favorite, so thanks for putting in the work.

[@Mangs1337]

Thank you 😊

[@GaussNine]

Dual Strike was the AW game I had growing up, it's actually one of only 2 games I kept with me into adulthood. I love the campaign a lot, and I think the Dual Strike mechanic is great in PvE because of how much it requires you to pay attention and think ahead. I also think dual COs is fun in multiplayer, as long as you handshake to not DS.

[@4shadow100]

I really want to see Mangs tackle the Battalion Wars games. If not for the zero death run, at least to give his thoughts on the real-time strategy game

[@terramechanicus6502]

Here's a drinking game for y'all!: Take a shot everytime Mangs gets a Dual Strike at the perfect time.

[@alexanderwatters9763]

Watched the entire video in one sitting while doing my laundry. I miss the Advance Wars games deeply, and won't forgive Nintendo for doing Sturm dirty in Dual Strike and not even putting him in as a super secret unlockable commander (could locked him behind having to S rank the hard campaign, and balance out his AW2 stats by making him have a negative tag team with all other commanders, turning him into purely a solo actor), but I still had a complete blast playing it when I was in my teen years.

[@kippies66]

Sure, it might be unbalanced af, but i'll be damned if it isn't entertaining. This game is a textbook example of the good kind of cheese. Watched the whole thing in one go without realizing it! Good job, Egg. This was a month well spent.

[@aristocraticcthulhu3831]

Excellent! I hope your mother is recovering well.

[@SioxGreyWolf]

You know, if they gave vahnbolt the ability to make oozium out of buildings, he could have been a terrifying boss character. Imagine if he could like, ooze up a city or something, removing income from it, but able to churn out oozium at either an income or something like that.

[@isenokami7810]

I would’ve just taken being able to build Oozium at ground bases. Especially since it wouldn’t have to just be a Von Bolt thing (though I imagine him having an insane cost reduction on Oozium). Certainly would make the dumb blobs of jelly a lot more relevant. Though imagine popping your superpower on Hachi or someone with the Soul of Hachi skill on, and just flooding the front lines with your Oozium.

[@SioxGreyWolf]

@@isenokami7810 I feel like the requirement has to be you have Von Bolt at least on your team to make Dumb Blobs, which would make Von Bolt consistently relevant.

[@SoldierOfFate]

The Issue with Ooziums is that they are extremely underwhelming as units in concept. 3 Infantry units can shut one down cold provided it's not camping on a property/mountain. Sure, they're good deterrents against more expensive units that don't travel in groups but there's just no practical use of them outside of Fog of War (where they can be extremely deadly if you camp them in woods).

[@isenokami7810]

@@SoldierOfFate Mostly fair. The other exception I can think of is when you just have a LOT of them. You have instant death jelly all over the place, your opponent has to think a lot more carefully about how they maneuver, might even end up in situations where pulling off the ideal play means placing a good unit where it will definitely get eaten on your next turn. Granted, I’m basing that use for Oozium on the final mission. Muck Amok has a lot of the stuff, but ruins it by having the blobs be more or less your only targets. Much easier to deal with that way; they should be used to screw with attempts to do normal AW stuff.

[@WavemasterAshi]

I think it makes sense that Javier and Kanbei have a tag star, since they both hold to notions of honor (and Javier likes to charge forth with a mountain of troops!)

[@drrobotnik5265]

25:40 If im not mistaken, you can cheese this mission simply by popping lightning strike with eagle on the main front, without even having cleared the top front :P

[@thebrazillianguytm2186]

[@tanamango320]

I love those no unit lost videos. Whenever you post one, I watch them right away and in one go (with some snacks and a small coffee)

[@mauricesteel4995]

Finally, live demonstration of Mistwalker in action (its Soul of Sonja in JP) proving its Counterbreak, not mapwide stealth. Counterbreak that you can give high firepower COs that hit way harder than Sonja. Good Job Mangs.

[@Mangs1337]

That's so strange. Maybe they wanted to change it in the localization, but forgot about it? Have no idea why they'd change the name like that.

[@Tenhys]

@@Mangs1337 That'd be a simple note error during translation. Translators do not necessarily play the games they're hired to translate and when they don't play said games, they most certainly always misses either the subtleties of the original language or fail the mark entirely (like for Metroid Other M, which had a catastrophic translation on some key dialogues.) And since translators simply have do not have the time to play the game because they're paid to translate it (oh the irony is palatable), they rely on other sources to give them notes and additionnal datas, like contexts or symbolism, to translate in a way that most accurately represent the original dialogues or texts' intents. The hypothesis here is that the translator(s) may have been given the note : *_"those expert skills, unlocked after beating the hard campaign, respectively gives to the player the ability of Sonja or Hachi during super power."_* Hachi must not have been hard to get (purchase units on Towns.) But Sonja is more tricky because, for one, she's the only one in the game that has the ability to hide her units HPs from the ennemy's gaze (even in maps devoid of Fog of War) but her "Counter-attack" mechanic is essentially shared with only one other CO in the whole game, her dad : Kanbei. From the translator's perspective, if the note received in regard of translation was something like _"giving the player skills that are respectively unique to Sonja and Hachi",_ meant to him/her/them, giving the attributes that are unique from said respective COs. In other words, the translator(s) most potentially thought that the skill's function was that of _"hiding unit HPs"_ instead of _"reversing engagement order of initiated combat",_ because those were the clues left for him/her/them (it simply didn't come to mind that the skills effects were only activated during the phase of "super power" and either didn't bother asking or anyone bother answering when asked.)

[@KopperNeoman]

@Tenhys When in doubt, you can just use "he" as a generic in English. It'll help you clean up your paragraphs. (I grant you there was probably more than one translator though, and "he" is only a generic singular) Is there any kind of leftover data for a planned ability called Mistwalker that might have tripped the translators up, I wonder.

[@mauricesteel4995]

the funny thing about Mistwalker, is that in practice, if you use it against a CPU, most of the enemy units will pretend your units are invisible because the engagements will be terrible unless they are punching down.

[@Tenhys]

@@mauricesteel4995 Correct. That is indeed the most ironical part of it all.

[@Roach1]

Regarding mission 14: even if the game did consider it a loss I think it would be okay. Your entire reasoning for starting these deathless runs was because you made a comparison between advance wars troops and real life troops, and the heroes in your headcanon wanting to prevent unnecessary loss of life. All that to say: the black bombs are remote controlled, this mission confirms it, so losing those as units does not mean one or more soldiers getting killed, therefore, its perfectly acceptable.

[@subbie-eye]

Watched this in one sitting! Was looking forward to this one very much! Now you know why Sasha is T1 in AWBW. It is also fun seeing some of the less used pairings here!

Yea Colin and Kambei may not have any specific bonuses together they are easily the most synerged duo in the game. You buy units at 80% and swap them into they guy who normally pay 120% , just there they become the most insane duo.

after watching your aw2 and awDoR runs, i got a REALLY big itch to play AW again, but only had ds for me to play so i played that a ton. Was super pumped to see this come up in my feed today, so while downloading some mods i just watched the whole thing in one go. Great stuff gamer!

[@lexif.8609]

That Von Bolt Super Power around the Oozium was so nasty, geez lol! Super great video Mangs!

If Dual Strike is ever remade it needs some re-balancing, but i still like it.

[@Dogedoge337]

Woo yeah, these are awesome. I've been playing Dual Strike recently too.

[@Vaerlayn]

I did manage to sit through the whole video in a single sitting, and I'd say this was definitely a lot of fun to watch. Dual Strike is my favorite of the games to play just because of how silly the skills and tags are - it may be the least balanced of them all, but it's certainly the most fun and creates some absurd battles you couldn't see in any other iteration of Advance Wars (asides from maybe Tinywars Experimental, but that's not an official version so I'm not gonna count that~). Keep up the good content, I'd say the full month that went into this was well worth it.

I remember using a trick to make jake's trial very easy, i think i had kanbei/sonja and rachel's MD tank won't attack kanbei's mech on the city when the MD tank gets to low. So I can safely ignore all 3 MD tanks to avoid giving charge and just push to rachel's base/HQ

Kenbai + andy.

I used to really like this game a lot. Enjoyed it more than days of ruin. Course my brothers and I managed to lose it. When I looked into buying a new copy many years only place I could find was ebay and at ridiculous prices.

[@bravadious1]

I watched this video from start to finish :) I miss advance wars so I live vicariously through your play troughs

[@Xen778]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I am so pumped.

[@budgetproductions1178]

just a fun fact: if you use your save and load data properly, you can farm xp points for your COs to level them up.

[@QubixBlox]

This Video Is Good For You Taking A Full Month i respect your effort

[@stefenboney7145]

49:31 😳 awesome video egg

[@llikeafoxx]

Okay, I admittedly did not watch the video all in one sitting, but this was really well done, and I super enjoyed it!

[@theoutlander1411]

Another ba-ba-ba BANGER from Mangs. Good work.

[@Ghan04]

Another epic playthrough. This format is fantastic, thanks for taking the time to make it!

[@Locklen]

How much more difficult (or easy) do you think this challenge would be if you had to use the CO's from the normal mode versions, but did allow skills?

[@Mangs1337]

I'd still be able to use Colin or Sasha so probably doable.

[@Voidling242]

Probably easier because you can use sasha with increased money and boosted power charge to get more more potent market crashes.

[@simonchai3040]

I love these advance wars challenges! Watched it start to end. Your advance wars content is so good. Thank you
