I've recently been watching a lot of Gundam shows. There's a bunch of stuff in After War: Gundam X that's really similar to Days of Ruin, though there's a better chance I'm just noticing shared Joseph Campbell building blocks than any actual homage.

If they're going to charge $60 for a port of a 20 year old game, it shouldn't be -worse- than the original in every metric.

What do I need to know to be competitive?

>>1766986
it's all about timing. also competitive AW is similar to chess: it's not about building up your own play, it's about sabotaging your opponent's
>>
>>1767712
How do I improve? I keep getting crapped on. I have the early capture game and build order more or less down since its pretty easy. But the enemy always has much better movement and their units are where they need to be.
Also I keep trying to make APCs work, should I give up on them.
Do I need to watch these lame youtubers explain matches?
>>
>>1770711
Not the same anon but I have some advice. There's far too much to cover in one post but if you're having trouble with movement/positioning you need to identify key areas of interest. Each map is different but try to identify contested properties and positions that will give you a tactical advantage. In some maps if you get a bunch of your units in the centre of the map you can put pressure on multiple places and front shift very easily while also blocking the enemy from doing so. I'd recomend watching some higher level Youtubers. People like Elagatua have some good tips on how to play at higher levels. If you're trying to use transports I'd say go with T-Copters if you can. Building an APC leaves you with 1 less ground unit. Even if it's only an infantry it can make quite a difference, especially early on. Transports should be built on larger maps and maps with lots of rivers/mountains that split the map up. I don't use transports a whole lot in standard because the enemy can see I'm building them, they can go all in with tank rushes and then I'm down on money because I built a transport. In fog they're fine and in high funds they are great as you want as many properties as fast as possible.

Thanks. Ill keep trying, it seems everyone I face is quite good at the game, I guess its expected with a niche game like this.

Feels like they just did a 1 to 1 copy of the sprites without adding anything else to them, not even any texture or extra detail to them.
Oddly enough the black hole units look ok, though probably only because they are sci-fi and the black coloring of their army hides the lack of detail.

okay, but why are people apparently willing to play War Groove but not Advance Wars?
>>
>>1788225
They aren't. Wargroove 1 succeeded mildly because people wanted more advanced wars, then the advance wars reboot came out, and people either played that instead or found out about AWBW during the peak of people being upset about the online. Thus, Wargroove 2 flopped.
>>

WayForward is an amazing studio but that little to no experience doing a remake let alone a strategy one.

Nintendo wanted everything to be cute and cuddly again to get a whole new generation into Advance Wars but failed to realise it would never stick with gen alpha.

And it's not just difference in taste, back then most of us had just one console with a couple few games we were gifted so we just went along with whatever.
A turn based grid tactical game is always an harder sell.

So they should have just catered to the older fanbase with a new title with new mechanics. And it's not like they couldn't still have newer and younger players in mind.

However:
>shit art style
>shit ost
>shit sfx
>souless 3D instead of 2D sprites
>shit online play
>>
Pretty sure Nintendo holds the IP rights, and lord knows they respond to any minor flop by chucking the entire fucking thing into the dumpster, so just give up on ever seeing Advance Wars again.

This shit still makes no sense to me.
A war is the perfect time to release a war game. Like, hello? People would have been making memes about it.
And it's not like they didn't release it later while the war is still going on.
They must just not have finished it or something.

Personally I'd like to have a pokemon themed fraction but I don't know if it qualifies as fantasy/scifi and didn't miss its chance with creatures already. Could also be that they don't consider it for the voting because they fear copyright violation charges.

>>1788230
I never actually checked did Wargroove 2 actually bother to give anyone D2Ds? That was one thing in 1 that really bothered me was just how most CO's played the same outside of planning or executing on their CO power and if said CO power happened, likewise the fact every CO had the exact same combat stats, its like they give themselves a framework to create a group of interesting and diverse characters to play as designed just the CO powers and then ran out of steam and didn't bother to finish it. Then again this is chuckle fish I wouldn't put it past them to just have done that.
