Yes... YES... THEY FINALLY FIXED IT. FINALLY THE CRUISER IS FIRING ALL ITS ROCKETS AND NOT LEAVING THAT ONE AWKWARDLY STUCK IN THE SIX-PACK LAUNCHER. I know it was done because of damage calculation as in normally there are always 5 units firing and that cant be translated to a 6 unit launcher but it looked SO YARRING

[@butteredsalmonella]

Suicidal AI, to my knowledge, is only common in DS and DoR. Seeing that Submarine crash onto Sami's Cruiser was a development.

[@PraetorianMan]

Yeah, I haven't played either of the non-GBA games, but I was like "yo... I don't remember the AI acting like this..."

[@Leah-Heala]

Depends, there's numerous ai types in the history of advance wars, one type of ai that's semi common especially in early moments of the games is a brutish ai, in DoR you may know it was called all-out. Basically they ram their heads into the nearest unit it sees and cares very little about survivial. This is a popular ai because ai in this game can be given to specific units. So for particularly strong or hazardous units like starting medium tanks, bombers etc, would typically have said all out ai

[@PraetorianMan]

@@Leah-Heala IDK if those different AI types were in the original GBA titles though. the AI in the GBA games [AW2 anyway] became very predictable in certain ways, like you could *always* reliably depend on the AI using the most powerful units available to attack your infantry, leaving your own more potent units untouched and at full strength to counter attack your next turn. Cheap infantry became very useful and reliable decoys. Similar situation with clustering a bunch of cheap garbage together to reliably pull aggro when the AI uses a missile silo or Sturms meteor strike.-

[@Leah-Heala]

@@PraetorianMan AI less went for infantry exclusively and more of its aggro tables placed units it could one shot and infantry that are capping extremely high. However AI would always try to take valuable trades if it saw it as that. It's why in a clip a youtuber was surprised a bomber went for an AA in the reboot camp over a rocket because a kill on the rocket would just be more valuable. Infantry could bodyblock but it wouldn't save a rocket unless some fuckery like APCs happen because the AI REALLY likes value, kills, capping, and transports.

I have a feeling this game will be hard carried by the music and CO art/animations since back in Advance Wars 2 they removed the CO reactions to losing their units, all of that since everyone is mixed on the 3D Graphics but maybe they will grow on us over time.

[@blukmage19typeR]

Put Lash's units on Mountains, cities, woods, grasslands, and the reefs (for the sea units), she would be a beast in battle. But put her units on open roads, bridges, shoals, rivers, open seas, as well as having air units, she won't gain that extra power boost which may put her in a spot.

[@Mac_Omegaly]

Oh. I didn't know the superpower remixes the CO Theme. Nice.

[@Blad3sofWaR]

One thing bothers me….why do they have the facial expressions change when their down one less HP unlike the Original where that only occurred when they were down 3 or more hp (unless their apc or indirect units are attacked)

[@confidentbottle]

I think in the new version it's based on the relative damage dealt by each side during the attack rather than comparing the total HP of each unit after the fight. If one person deals 4 damage and the other deals 6, the CO that dealt 6 will be the happier one even if they started the fight with a 5hp unit that is now at 1hp

[@goShinigami]

Main selling point will be the awesome music, the dynamic themes and especially remixed versions for the Superpowers will make replaying the original very enjoyable and hit the right vibes. The partial voice actions also seems to be done nicely and adds character to the game. Sure, as many others I am not a huge fan of the putty graphice, but they are fine enough to not impete the overall impression. The loading times seem a little underwhelming and takes away from the otherwise fluid and dynamic experience. Probably still a buy on day 1, depending how the first full reviews sound. Very exicted to see the franchise grow again - hopefully it does well enough to justify a Dual Strike DLC / Addon or standalone game and potentially Days of Ruin further down the line. I think this could be successfull enough :)
