      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)

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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. :)

      @@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.)

      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).

      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.

    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!)

    Black bombs doing their thing shouldnt count as a loss anyway. Thats like saying that a rockets that the rockets shoot should as well. They are just explosives

  • @Roach1
    @Roach1 Рік тому +9

    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.

    Mangs I love your videos so much, I’m a teenager who got into Advance Wars recently and started with Days of Ruin which really tripped me up with the series but now that I’ve played the other 3 games I know that Advance Wars was not in fact super edgy to start with. I watched this entire video in one setting and I’ve loved watching your videos so much. Good luck with Advance Wars 1 though it’ll definitely be tricky to finish it without a single loss. Keep up this S Rank content and have an amazing day!

    The Black Cauldron mission basically confirmed my theory: the ranking system at the end doesn't actually care about how long you took or any bonus objectives, it just cares about the point total of the 3 cores stats (Speed, Power, Technique). If you manage to get approximately over 270 points in the 3 categories combined, you get S-rank. Get approximately between 241-270 combined points, you get A-rank. Get around 211-240 combined points, you get B-rank.

  • @MrMarinus18
    @MrMarinus18 2 місяці тому +2

    Despite that Colin and Kambei don't have any tag stars they do have a lot of synarchy. Colin can deploy expensive units and next turn switch to Kambei who builds the cheaper units. Also in a dual strike Colin's power of money allows for a massive push and then reinforcements and then Kambei's Samurai spirit furthers that push and also makes it really hard for the enemy to push back.
