Thanks everyone, be good to each other!

[@MrxD-cg5xs]

The AI actually knows how to utilize transports and how to refuel its units with APCs this time. That alone scares me to an unimaginable extent.

[@TitaniumLegman]

Yeah, there's clearly been AI improvements and fixes. No cheating in FOW anymore either!

[@Syngrafer]

Oh hey, I feel like I see you everywhere on AW1+2 videos

[@GanzuGinisu]

But now the AI has to use their recon to scout in FOW, which is pretty cool

[@WayneManifesto]

Fog of war still cheats just differently. Things attack and destroy your unit so you lose visibility, you send another unit and that area is empty

[@Maenk90]

@@WayneManifesto thats how forests and reefs work in fow duh

[@trashaimgamer7822]

I call it a quality of life improvement. Sure for us no lifes it was a cool retro way of unlocking content. But for everyone else it's just a convoluted nightmare. You can't blame developers for wanting to cater towards the very people that keep society afloat.

[@inplane9970]

Fr. Like 10 year old me loved to find the unique ways to unlock all of the AW1 COs. I'd rip my hair out if I had to do that again as a 24 year old.

[@Axecon1]

It's kinda the same problem as Smash Bros. Yes, you could spend a long and convoluted time unlocking all the characters, but most people are probably picking up this game for the multiplayer. Therefore you want to be able to unlock all characters as soon as possible so people can utilize them in online matchups.

[@TitaniumLegman]

Correct. If this was a strictly single player experience, or all cos were unlocked by default for online only, then I could see keeping the old requirements. As it is tho, Eh.

[@Vincentvondoom]

@@TitaniumLegman I love unlocking costumes and pallate swaps, I don't love unlocking characters.

[@armandof6453]

Hey man, don’t sweat it! I thought the unlock requirements were still there too. Your previous video is still valuable in that it gives solid strategic advice. And I find that if you’re learning the lessons the game has been teaching you and putting them to good use you should be able to meet the previous requirements without struggling too hard anyways. If nothing else it’s nice to have all the choices open for the final mission and I definitely think rivals is in a way better place as a secret bonus challenge! Looking forward to your content on AW2!

[@TitaniumLegman]

Thanks for the nice words Armando, you are correct. I totally agree on the positives of the changes as well, so all in all I'm happy!

[@korhol2065]

This was confirmed when I decided to unlock Olafs sea strike, gave up with killing his armada, captured the HQ and still got the mission despite not achieving the requirements

[@D.O.CanMusic]

Did you notice how many landscapes there are? And they change in base of the position of the square on the map, example you are fighting in a field but close to a city, in the background during the fight animation, you see your unit in a field and on background some sky scrappers, if you are close to the sea you will see the sea etch etch and this is so immersive, old advance war had the same landscape during fight, the only change was if you were in city, mountains or sea

[@TitaniumLegman]

I have noticed that yeah! Talk about insane attention to detail. Stuff like this is what I mean when I say there's clearly so much passion and love that went into this remake, it's very cool to see.

[@Kalanin399]

Some more notable changes are the balancing. I'll list a few of the ones I know: - Virtually every CO in reboot camp had their CO powers adjusted (I haven't done AW2's campaign yet so i haven't seen that). Specifically it seems every CO now has the 10% firepower/defense buff that Dual Strike applied even when you didn't have any bonuses. This is most notable on Andy (who's CO Power only gave 2hp +10 Defense ), Olaf (who only changed to snow and got no bonuses at all), Sonja, and several others. - The AI seems to have been adjusted. It might just be me, but it seems to be far more deliberate in interrupting infantry captures and cleaving a path to indirect units. - Kanbei's counterattack in AW2 (Style 2) has been nerfed to 150% instead of 166%. I dont know of others immediately right now

[@GoldfishEmpire]

The 10% firepower was a thing in all games, it just didn't tell you that in the older games. I'm pretty sure the 10% defense was exclusive to Dual Strike before the Reboot Camp though.

[@Kalanin399]

@@GoldfishEmpire Not 100% sure, but im also going off memory, so it's likely just better wording at this point. Looking up some things it looks like it was a thing since the base game, just the way defense was calculated changed in later games. Kanbei i also guess im misrembering because i'm fairly sure the in game text was that his counterattack delt 5/3 damage. In Dual strike it's 2x, but in Reboot it's 1.5x So it could just be exceedingly clear tooltips which im all for.

[@Hodgetnd]

@@Kalanin399 first advance wars gave everyone +10/10 during powers, 2 gave +10 def with NO firepower bonus

[@mysmallnoman]

@@GoldfishEmpire no lol The +10% fire power and defense was in AW1+3, in AW2 you only get +10% defense

[@mysmallnoman]

@@Hodgetnd it did give firepower bonus lol

[@GameAlicornLuna]

Don’t forget the new secret CO from the first campaign… though, he’s still identical, he has a whole new theme and animations to go with him.

[@a-s-greig]

Not _identical..._ he can't use a SCOP in the AW2 ruleset. So he's literally an inferior Andy. He's literally me. 😆

[@bluehex13x]

​@@a-s-greig no SCOPs but his COP gives a 10% attack boost unlike Andy's

[@garebearz19]

Is this referring to the Andy clone? how do you get him? and what is SCOP?

[@GameAlicornLuna]

@@garebearz19 he shows up in the shop normally. However, he has no SCOP.

[@TitaniumLegman]

He's unlocked after beating AW1. A SCOP is a Super CO Power, usable in AW2.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

If anyone wants sturm or nell or unlock requirements for everyone else sorry for repost, youtube hates me editing comments It seems you need to get an average s rank on aw2 campaign (EDIT HERE) difficulty does not seem to affect the s rank. I haven't played a casual yet so it may just give you less coin for easier s rank. I also assume hachi works the same way getting him by clearing hard campaign (EDIT HERE) hachi may be unlocked by clearing every aw2 mission on any difficulty Someone just said on reddit that you need to clear rivals on any campaign for nell All the other cos are given by clearing certain missions in the campaign Aw1 you will just automatically get by the end Aw2 you will get by clearing thier second mission or for black hole, factory missions

[@lunarnights]

Glad I wasn't the only one confused by this while playing. Personally, I believe that it's a great change for new players. Times and tastes have changed, and I can remember struggling with some of the unlocks way back when I was first playing the original.

[@Morgil27]

Thank fucking God! In the original, I was practically pulling my hair out trying to beat Kanbie in 8 turns. So glad I don't have to go through that again.

[@ShikiKiryu]

I noticed this during my Lets Play too, as I didnt beat Kanbei within the turn reqs but still unlocked him, did all the GE missions as Sami for Eagle but still got Drake so it struck me as a little odd but its a fair change. Part of me wishes they had kept the original requirements for challenge, but part of me doesnt mind given the modern sensibilities of most gamers...people would probably complain its too hard if newer, or care to try with things getting shorter/easier.

[@Shireke01]

For niche franchises like Advanced Wars, accesible is always better

[@ShikiKiryu]

@@Shireke01 agreed

[@luke4010]

LEGMAN! Covering my other favorite tile based strategy game!! You're the best ❤

[@TitaniumLegman]

In doing my best chief! And what can I say? I love these games. 😁

[@GamerBrandon18]

I have completed both normal and challenge campaigns on advance wars 1 campaign to unlock Nell you have to 100% complete the campaign on any difficult I recommend classic or casual BC it's easier also the challenge campaign has changed for example kanbei error seems easier BC they give you a bomber and kanbei starts with a smaller air force

[@Shishizurui]

Your old when you realize that you used to contort yourself to find a nice light spot on the couch to play this game 20 years ago. if you were like me you lost interest in it, saw all 4 teams felt the characters were kinda cheesy.... Then my friend is like you haven't seen Darth Vader Hittler yet? Me = surprised pikachu face

[@KillerZxAce]

That is why I had an M3 card for my DS Lite so I unlocked all characters instantly!

[@AsecasJavi]

I didn't know about the characters in the final mission. It worked well since I got grit and Sammy

[@TitaniumLegman]

Definitely a good combination!

[@AsecasJavi]

@@TitaniumLegman it was rough at first, but soon I was inside the enemy base I could block all the spawn points and take the CG or whatever is it called in English

[@almothana]

as a new player to the series I appreciate the changes. and I liked experimenting with different COs in the final mission until I beat it.

[@ColorFun4Me]

Very helpful. Been wondering bout the branching paths since the remake was announced.

[@smittycoolmusik]

One of my FAVORITE GAMES EVER. Give me a few weeks I’m getting it

[@TitaniumLegman]

It's worth it boss, I'm loving it.

[@coolaidgamer]

What's your friend code for the switch? I'd like to play Advance Wars online with you sometime.

[@HyperfixationWizard]

Thanks to stalling the opponent being nerfed, I can finally utilize the entirety of "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" as a strategy guide for Advance Wars 1 and 2.

[@nuclion2895]

If you want sterm you have to get s rank on all maps in normal mode of the campaign

[@GanzuGinisu]

ALL??? T.T

[@WKCamperer]

@@GanzuGinisu I assume he refers to the AW1 campaign only. If it's the case then it's easy.

[@TitaniumLegman]

I'm working on getting all S rank now to test in AW1's campaign, we'll see.

[@nepats522]

On the last mission you actually can't select just anyone.......Andy is locked in but once you pick a second CO it won't allow you select certain CO's.....don't know the exact combo restrictions but I know you can't compliment weakness like Max/Grit......

[@TitaniumLegman]

huh, I never noticed that before. Good callout on that one Xopher, thank you!

[@sigmacheseman]

cant wait to see the changes for DuaLC Strike

[@TitaniumLegman]

Honestly, I hope we see it at all.

[@dannyhartwig7595]

what scared me from later levels was the endles island hopings i hate that kind of mission

[@TitaniumLegman]

Yeah, those do exist here so of that's not your thing you may be unhappy.

[@HansAlRachid]

Totally understand why they did this - the majority of players will never invest the time necessary to get access to the COs nowadays yadda yadda yadda - but I can't help but feel let down by this change. Rewarding players for learning the ins and outs of a game and incentivizing skill as well as experimentation are, in my mind, integral to the enjoyment a game can provide - earning something feels far more rewarding than just simply getting it handed to you for free. That said, the lowest common denominator is where the money is and nothing else matters anywhere near as much. But whatever, as defeatist as I find this whole trend - I'm old, I don't matter anymore on a demographic scale.

[@TitaniumLegman]

Hey now, you're allowed to not like the changes, and that opinion does matter. I'm largely with you, while I get why they did the changes they did, it's still sad to see some of the magic go.

[@germmanator]

In AW 1 you couldn't unlock Sonja in the final battle. are you sure you can in reboot camp? In both games she seems to be captured by Sturm.

[@TitaniumLegman]

You are correct, that was a slip of the tongue as I was rattling off names.

[@darugosuenyo]

Wait, as a Kid... was I stuck on Rivals??? I remember distinctly an Eagle mission that I could never beat, but replaying the game nothing was too hard really save for the Sturm final fight, but now I'm looking forward to Rivals to see if I had been stuck on that one as a kid..

[@patrickb1303]

NO ONLINE MATCHMAKING = CRY 😢

[@claytonthelegendslayer7337]

Now I can get nell cause I'm slick Clayton of the orange star ( paying respect for slick Goku )

[@ryono2759]

Are you able to choose mission after completion of the campaign missions?

[@TitaniumLegman]

You are!

[@unknowncompany948]

Wasn't there another seacraft unit that could repair other seacraft and that you could put one infantry into to? It was never in Advance Wars 1 or 2, so I am not expecting to see it in Reboot. It was in Dark Conflict/Days of Ruin.

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

The only sea unit added in DC/DoR was the aircraft carrier. It could create small aircrafts to fight with and you could load air units there to repair. But it was expensive and couldn`t fight.

[@TitaniumLegman]

Notably it DID have some AA capabilities in DoR, as I recall.

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

@@TitaniumLegman Well, it was a while since i played DoR, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

[@multitopictalk6714]

Some missions are different. Some dialogues are different. Very different game from both originals.

[@AsecasJavi]

If it didn't look like that I wouldn't care that much. As a remake some changes are expected

[@Redline1998766]

But this still works: AI always attacks TP with distance weapons first. ^^

[@TitaniumLegman]

Oho, that's good to know. 👀

[@ESchubert]

TP?

[@SharonisCarin321]

Mangs hated the remake. I hope this isnt the common consensus

[@reddawn1873]

Also the AI are less mentally ill too

[@Rotschwinge]

Thank god IS never installed a relationship system as they intended and made advance wars waifu wars as they did with FE. Thus I really don't mind the changes.

[@WKCamperer]

Ew. That would have been a "into the trash it goes" moment.

[@Rotschwinge]

@@WKCamperer yeah, agree

[@92EEM]

Does anyone else think the game sounds muffled? In particular the battle sounds

[@TitaniumLegman]

Yeah, the sound design is definitely one of the things that stood out to me here. It's odd at first, but I did come around to it.

[@nngnnadas]

Didn't they teach you in science class you should have a control group 😄?

[@TitaniumLegman]

I never was much of a scientist.

[@ysonline]

Lesson learned. Make different guides for remakes

[@TitaniumLegman]

Since I got Kanbei and Sonja the traditional way, I just figured that it still worked as it always has. 😭

[@JSD324777]

My bro please check your facts, especially in a video correcting a past mistake You actually cannot use Sonja in the Final Battle due to her being caught by Sturm

[@TitaniumLegman]

@@garebearz19 Indeed, my partner said that she felt the thumbnail was clickbaity which...wasn't my intention, honestly.
