It's so funny when this mission completely contradicts the entire point Sonja's been making for two missions straight. Sonja: "Dad you need a base!" Kanbei: *gets useless bases but instead has an incredibly OP pre-deployed army*
Kanbei: Daughter, you are too young to understand what I am doing. Now, *observe* Kanbei's air force: *destroys your army while his infantry is securing all the cities at his side*
Sonja: "But how?" Kanbei: "I might not be a genius. But Kanbei knows a simple truth: You don't need deployment bases if your enemy cannot even properly use theirs either, transport helicopters go boom with my fighters." Sonja: ".......that feels more like cheating."
When I finally won this mission, I was so mad that I stopped capturing properties at 14, blocked off the last property Kanbei could've captured, and destroyed all of his units. Got me a low rank, but satisfied my anger.
Should be possible to win via rout yes, the challenge isn’t so much defeating Kanbei’s units as it is stopping him from getting the fifteenth cap, since with no airport and one useless base in the middle of nowhere there isn’t too much he can do to replace units you destroy. In fact, if you can stop Kanbei from winning on day 6 and manage to shoot all his transport copters and infantry on that island, kanbei will never be able to win since he won’t be able to get a unit onto the island to make the winning cap, giving you all the time you need to spam bombers and decimate his forces if you do desire
@@bongcloudopening5404 if belgium didn’t see it as an invasion the uk wouldn’t have joined the war and the uk wouldn’t have intercepted the message from germany to mexico to attack the usa and they wouldn’t know that germany told mexico to attack so they would remain neutral and then germany probably would have won ww1 or maybe im just an idiot that over analyzes things
Yes, but that occurred ONLY in Gen 1 games. Still, not only Gen 1 NPCs' AI was pretty subpar in comparison to other Gens, but also almost every of them (everyone other than a few major Trainers) had Pokémon knowing only level-up movesets, which were mostly atrocious. So infinite PP matters little in this case.
.-. Kanbeis error is a hint?So by error you mean considering that the ai cant see the town thingys once his anti air is destroyed?Nice definition of error
Having AI be able to see your units and attack instantly through fog of war has to be one of the most unfair instances of bullshit in gaming next to Jackal Sniper frame 1 reactions in Halo 2.
It's not only unfair, it's f'ing stupid and bad programming. That's unfair difficulty which doesn't make a "good" hard mode, no I wonder I said F this when the game came out. Sturm 2 was bad enough.
I just hacked and got rid of fog of war, then the game became enjoyable, though I still tried to clear those nasty maps without the hack if I could, just to try
The worst thing about losing this mission is how Nell is like "You idiot you should've listened to Sami and not gone for that base." As if to imply that the only way you could realistically lose this mission is for wasting time going for it.
For the normal campaign, Nell is right. But in hard campaign... Nell seems freaking blind to think the reason we lost was going after the useless base and not Kanbei going "Air force go brrrrr"
@@pkmntrainerred4247 I was going to say this. Hardmode just reuses the normal campaign defeat text, which is now usually inaccurate. Guess they assumed anyone playing Hard Campaign was going to be skipping those messages and could figure things out themselves anyway.
Oh, I get it. In the normal campaign, his error was thinking his base was any good. In the hard campaign, it was thinking that the position of his base mattered when he had a mountain of air units at service, price no object!
I want to at least have a brand-new "Blind Shot" feature where you can still attack the targeted space and hope there's a hidden enemy there or simply wasting your ammo instead.
I love how the level is named Kanbei's Error? not Kanbei's Error 'cause it makes sense with the level design, since Kanbei only needs to cap 14 properties due to his one base.
SourSpitballs We know what the title really means, Spade was just making a joke about the convenience of how it was an "AI Error" and the title's name of "Kanabi's Error".
Looking at the stuff on GameFAQs, it seems you don't need the AI exploit if you follow a VERY SPECIFIC gameplan - something that would take a ton of trial and error as well as notetaking. Now, the people that figured out that plan would probably share the opinion of "Worst Level Ever" afterward...

It's bad enough that you have to fight an Indiana Jones-samurai-Japanese guy that looks like a chimpanzee, but the fact his forces were pumped on steroids on this mission makes it pure bullshit. 3 fighters, 3 bombers, 3 attack copters, not to mention his troops are all set up to seize all 15 properties.

Yup. And possibly a fix to the A.I. that will prevent that neutral property from being captured. They may possibly nerf the mission as well. Plus, the A.I. may also be forced to follow the Fog of War rules too.
This level was brutal. I played it a long time back and I remember I beat this level the first time by capturing Kanbei's lonely base to force him to invade the middle airport island which is a lot closer to my troops so I can have an easier fight.
This only reminds me of "Destroy ship at Drill Platform" in Jak II. A fairly easy mission in normal mode, but the HARDEST mission in Hero Mode, even with the cheats more readily availble (All the end game cheats are now the first ones unlucked in Hero Mode) You lose easily because the mission is based on your turret's hp, not your own, and all the flying crimson guards took shooting lessons.

I find more difficult the second mission of Kambei (mighty Kambei) since you need to do a strange lure so the enemy moves most of his units on one side of the map so you could get an apc out on the other side and capture his hq. And that lure doesn't works 100%.
You know, I was thinking. What if capturing Kanbei's base is actually a viable strat for this mission? Since his base counts in the 15 captured buildings, if you get the base, he would probably need to go to your half of the map for a final capture. Now, you can lure his units in and deal with them more easily while staying nearer to your safe zones. Of course this is not the best strat, but I think it's viable if you want to go super ironic and be like "LMAO Sami I won by capturing the base, how about that?! HAHAHAHAHA 🤪"
A take-off or landing location for aerial craft such as planes. Why are you a- ...oh right, you're imitating Andy in his idiocy. Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what goes wrong with strategy game level design. Kirby can certainly get away with Ace Attorney-style breakdowns for cannons designed against a guy who can fly that can't even aim up.
Now that the reboot is coming... The AI will be smarter and probably this bug will be fixed Now I wonder, will this mission stay as hellish as it was originally? So excited to find out!
Well, on one hand, the AI has been fixed, those are bad news...but the good news is it doesn't cheat on Fog of war anymore so is as blind as you can be with their units.
Worst designed Advance Wars level is in AW2. The one where Colin has to stop Lash from taking his HQ for 14 days. Just skip turn, 14 times. Lash will eventually park a vehicle on your HQ, and be unable to get an infantry on it. You win. By doing nothing.
I love it when people go into analysis videos like this! Even though you're showing off the map and gameplay, it's still super cool to see your mindset and then have everything work with your script! I love the AW franchise! Have you considered doing a walkthrough of all the levels, if you haven't already?
@ Varcon Oh, you wanna do this? Lol okay. Just because they're both will-future, doesn't mean they're "the same thing". "Punished" goes with "be" if you want to use the passive voice, just like any other verb. If someone will punish Andy, he "will be punished" is correct and he "will become punished" is a very bizarre, uncommon and in this case most likely wrong way of saying what Minrod Vils was trying to say. Passive is constructed with "be", not "become". He will become an astronaut, for example. "Become" is used for a change in state of some sort, not for a change from active to passive voice.
well sir, will become punished is a mode of saying ''he will BE punished'' but in a more primitive way look at this Become is more likely to BECOME, BE would only change his mode of saying, a ex is mages wich sometime says something like ''you will become a frog'' whenever they use a spell Andy will become punished, more like used for his status *after* Chapter 21: Rivals! BECOME would be more likely turning something,getting something (ex: he will become good later) it can be used to indicate the status of some person,later or before now see Andy will Become/Be punished, like you said, is a very bizzare thing to say itself but it doenst stop of being used as a word itself in verbs and normal speeching with other people,usually saying that would be a case of misunderstanding, people actually understand what they understand, you cant really sure know if someone is fluent in english for correcting them correcting him wont give him better grammar or make him learn everything,correcting is not really needed in a social site like youtube for him = become/be the correct for you = only be so whatever floats on your boat
I remember having to do some kind of crazy precise movements to sneak a few air units out of my base to be able to stop the infantry in time. Yeah this mission sucked.
Well, now we know why the mission it's called "Kanbei's error?" with an "?" obviously in hard mode and with fog of war, having a useless base it's hardly a disadvantage for the AI

I found this video by luck, but I love the Advance Wars games, so I decided to watch. Best decision of the day. It was awesome! I dont remember playing this mission in hard mode, but you nailed it! And yeah, the Tag Power music in incredible! Congrats on the nice work! PS. Kanbei is my favourite character in the series.
I don't know what it is about this game, I can kick some serious butt in the Fire Emblem games, but I picked up Advance Wars today to give it a try and I've already lost in the third campaign mission. On normal.
Another possibility would have been to let one enemy troop start capturing such city, and them damage the unit with that chopper so that it would take more time to capture it, that would give you more time to send a mech unit and another chopper, enough to blow that AA and the remaining troops. By the way, nice video dude.
You can beat every single mission in AW1 just by baiting the AI with any transport unit (APC, Lander, T-Copter). Bonus points if the enemies move onto properties, as demonstrated in this video. The AI will always prioritize transport units, even ignoring your own infantry capturing their HQ. I don't know if this was changed in AW2 and later games.
Teh Apeman Those levels are pretty boring, but it does get better. Give it a bit more time, these types of games aren't always the most accessible, but once they get their claws in you, they become seriously addictive.
Teh Apeman Advanced Wars is sorta like "Super simple mode" Fire Emblem. It takes out most of the advanced gameplay (No RPG stats, no elemental RPS, just units with Strengths and weaknesses versus each other). The Game starts out slow, with simple tutorials, but once you get into it, it doesn't hold your hand anymore. I think it's around Mission 5 in game one, and Mission 4 in AW2. Later on, you start getting more advanced units and the game gets much tougher.
Well, 'Kanbei's Error?' was really hard to beat (there probably is an S-Rank strategy to win this map in about 9 turns) but there's an even harder Misson in this game...have you ever Played 'Rivals' in Hard Campaign? You face Eagle with Andy in Fog of War (there is no Forest or Reef on the Map) on a Ground-Air-Map. You start off with 11 Properties 1 Inf and 2 Mechs in your Base, Eagle Starts with 18 Properties, 3 Inf near the Center Bases and Airport, 4 Fighters, 4 Bombers, 3 B-Copters, 2 Md-Tanks, 2 tanks 2 Anti-Air Units and 1 Missile-Launcher. Good Luck winning this one! (Btw: it's possible to win that map)
Kanbei's Error in mani campaign: Strategy in basement placement is a big part of warfare! You need to consider the location and type of each one to really know if it'll be useful! Kandei's Error in hard campaign: WHO CARES ABOUT BASES WHEN I CAN JUST BRUTE FORCE MY WAY TO THE WIN?!

What if capturing Kanbei's base is actually a viable strat for this mission?
Since his base counts in the 15 captured buildings, if you get the base, he would probably need to go to your half of the map for a final capture.
Now, you can lure his units in and deal with them more easily while staying nearer to your safe zones.
Of course this is not the best strat, but I think it's viable if you want to go super ironic and be like "LMAO Sami I won by capturing the base, how about that?! HAHAHAHAHA 🤪"
Because of your tips i got a B in the level (Without the AI error) Thank you so much man my soul is now at peace!
Andy's such a nimble guy. Pretending not to know what an airport is, just so that newbies won't feel so bad for forgetting *thumbs up*
What's an airport?
A take-off or landing location for aerial craft such as planes. Why are you a-
...oh right, you're imitating Andy in his idiocy.
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out what goes wrong with strategy game level design. Kirby can certainly get away with Ace Attorney-style breakdowns for cannons designed against a guy who can fly that can't even aim up.
Now that the reboot is coming... The AI will be smarter and probably this bug will be fixed
Now I wonder, will this mission stay as hellish as it was originally?
So excited to find out!
Perhaps, but they may also remove the AI's unfair advantage in Fog of War. Maybe...
Well, on one hand, the AI has been fixed, those are bad news...but the good news is it doesn't cheat on Fog of war anymore so is as blind as you can be with their units.
Also you get a pre-deployed bomber
Reboot camp forces the ai to acknowledge fog of war and start you with an extra anti-air as well as a bomber, making this level far more fair.

Nicodapeek2 'I'm not a kid! I'm a CO of the Orange Star army!'
(Dracula like voice) What is a airport?! A miserable pile of secrets!?
@@finedandys1340 kanbei: sonja do you hear what he said?
Sonja: yeah father how does he not know about airport yet
Good thing you've removed the intro and added an outro. It was really good, IMO.
The artwork he has as the thumbnails now are good too, even if they are sprites.
Maybe if andy knew what an airport was he could've flown right past kanbei and none of this would have happened.
Sonja knows what airspace is.
@@butteredsalmonella mate, the entire purpose of this comment was to meme about andy not knowing what was an airport for sturm's sake chill
Kanbei's Error:
Normal campaign: *Normal Mr. Incredible*
Advance campaign: *Stage 3 Mr. Incredible*
Worst designed Advance Wars level is in AW2. The one where Colin has to stop Lash from taking his HQ for 14 days.
Just skip turn, 14 times. Lash will eventually park a vehicle on your HQ, and be unable to get an infantry on it. You win. By doing nothing.
Really? Wow, I might have to test that.
Colin wins by doing absolutely nothing.
Colin learnt a thing or two from Luigi
I love it when people go into analysis videos like this! Even though you're showing off the map and gameplay, it's still super cool to see your mindset and then have everything work with your script! I love the AW franchise! Have you considered doing a walkthrough of all the levels, if you haven't already?
What's an airport again?
-Andy
i know that base is mostly useless, but if Kanbei gets a Rocket there, it's a serious blow to unit production
On 3:00
Andy will become punished later
Because he doesn't know about airports.
will be* punished
will become punished = future
will be punished = future
its the same thing
@ Varcon Oh, you wanna do this? Lol okay. Just because they're both will-future, doesn't mean they're "the same thing". "Punished" goes with "be" if you want to use the passive voice, just like any other verb. If someone will punish Andy, he "will be punished" is correct and he "will become punished" is a very bizarre, uncommon and in this case most likely wrong way of saying what Minrod Vils was trying to say. Passive is constructed with "be", not "become". He will become an astronaut, for example. "Become" is used for a change in state of some sort, not for a change from active to passive voice.
well sir, will become punished is a mode of saying ''he will BE punished'' but in a more primitive way
look at this
Become is more likely to BECOME, BE would only change his mode of saying, a ex is mages wich sometime says something like ''you will become a frog'' whenever they use a spell
Andy will become punished, more like used for his status *after* Chapter 21: Rivals!
BECOME would be more likely turning something,getting something (ex: he will become good later) it can be used to indicate the status of some person,later or before
now see
Andy will Become/Be punished, like you said, is a very bizzare thing to say itself but it doenst stop of being used as a word itself in verbs and normal speeching with other people,usually saying that would be a case of misunderstanding, people actually understand what they understand, you cant really sure know if someone is fluent in english for correcting them
correcting him wont give him better grammar or make him learn everything,correcting is not really needed in a social site like youtube
for him = become/be
the correct for you = only be
so whatever floats on your boat
God, I hated this level.
8:24 Congratulations, you just described aerial warfare
I remember having to do some kind of crazy precise movements to sneak a few air units out of my base to be able to stop the infantry in time. Yeah this mission sucked.
Well, now we know why the mission it's called "Kanbei's error?" with an "?" obviously in hard mode and with fog of war, having a useless base it's hardly a disadvantage for the AI
"The hard campaigns of latera AW games felt very tame compared to this"
I agree, especially AW:DS, that campaign was a joke...
Like a plague, here comes the Orange Star Army!
This didn't age well.
And we're fighting the equivalent of China, too. Most conspiracies are bullshit or at least can be debunk, but I dare you to debunk the theory that China let the virus loose on purpose, to dethrone the States and become the new economical empire.
@@asmodeus58XX that theory can also be debinked since china lost economical power too dumbass
@@Tokito935 Yet here they are, COVID-19 free, only 80000 cases out of over a billion people, while we crawl under the burden of the new variants. Well, at least our vaccines are better.
@@asmodeus58XX what tf would China gained from fucking over the world? 192 Denouncements and going down in history as dicks?
@@asmodeus58XX why did you need to ruin it with political bullcrap?
7:43 Why does it say Kanbai when it shows his face on the left but Kanbei when it shows his face on the right?
I S-ranked every AW game in the series (except Advance wars 1) in normal/hard mode, but THIS GODDAMN MISSION is the bane of my existence.
Only people who truly love advance wars know this pain, good job on sharing it!
Looks like kanbei is not dumb but also he has good amount of air forcer
Orange Star has the best music to explain what an Airport is.
And in the end, you only get a B. Still, brilliant! I could not do this...
mate see when the dual strike theme came on, just reminded me of how fun that game was! eagle was sos tupid with the dual strike copower thing xDDD
Eagle has always been my favorite CO, dual strike just made him better.
@@bryanluna7503 dw bro by stupid I mean really good, the 3 turn special into sami capture was nuttts my personal fav Co gotta be Colin/ Kanbei (same team so busted)
I always read aw1 kanbeis lines in a stereotypical Japanese samurai accent because of his face, posture and that sword.
With how hard AW1's advance campaign is, is it even possible to S rank every single mission?
Yes, but it's asinine. Perfect S-Ranking, though, is out of the question with It's War AC and Air Ace AC.
Kanbei needs bases too!
Wow, this is my first time seeing an AW video. For some reason, I thought these games were quite different from what they truly are. Makes me want to try one XD (and well, I'm a FE fan, so...). Thank you for the awesome video!
Wait a sec... on easy, it's mission 10, but on hard it's mission 11? WHAT?
He probably unlocked some bonus missions.
17:05 That was not hard work... that was a nightmare!
I found this video by luck, but I love the Advance Wars games, so I decided to watch. Best decision of the day. It was awesome! I dont remember playing this mission in hard mode, but you nailed it! And yeah, the Tag Power music in incredible! Congrats on the nice work!
PS. Kanbei is my favourite character in the series.
6:22 got stuck on this mission when I played advance wars. The demonstration for fog of war mission that is.
15:43 man... Yes. Just... Yes. It's an AMAZING theme song. Absolutely astounding.
Just wanna say. Loved that Finale, With the sped up game play and the AD:DS Duel-strike them. It made me smile when it started up.
I don't know what it is about this game, I can kick some serious butt in the Fire Emblem games, but I picked up Advance Wars today to give it a try and I've already lost in the third campaign mission. On normal.
I like the tag power song in this game but I liked the power up song in days of ruin tad more.
Andy: what's an airport again?
Me: why even 'sigh' airports is for making air units
While this level was tough, I feel that that the first level with Drake against Sami, or the first level against Sturm were the hardest.
This was the mission I could never beat. And boy, did I try!
Another possibility would have been to let one enemy troop start capturing such city, and them damage the unit with that chopper so that it would take more time to capture it, that would give you more time to send a mech unit and another chopper, enough to blow that AA and the remaining troops. By the way, nice video dude.
Yet, still up to this day, I'm stuck with Kanbei's capture buildings map in Hard Campaign mode...-_-"
At this moment, you have reached 20,000 subscribers! Congrats!
What's an airport again?
I got a food ad when you mentioned mince meat
You can beat every single mission in AW1 just by baiting the AI with any transport unit (APC, Lander, T-Copter). Bonus points if the enemies move onto properties, as demonstrated in this video. The AI will always prioritize transport units, even ignoring your own infantry capturing their HQ. I don't know if this was changed in AW2 and later games.
I always wonder why the AI has such a spite against Transport units to the point they would literally beeline into a trap to kill one
I recently checked my progress on AW1 and what do you know? I stopped playing at this level on hard mode. Might use your guide to beat it.
I played the first few levels of this and wasn't impressed. Does the game get better? For now, it seems like mostly just tutorial, tutorial, tutorial.
Teh Apeman Those levels are pretty boring, but it does get better. Give it a bit more time, these types of games aren't always the most accessible, but once they get their claws in you, they become seriously addictive.
Teh Apeman Advanced Wars is sorta like "Super simple mode" Fire Emblem. It takes out most of the advanced gameplay (No RPG stats, no elemental RPS, just units with Strengths and weaknesses versus each other).
The Game starts out slow, with simple tutorials, but once you get into it, it doesn't hold your hand anymore. I think it's around Mission 5 in game one, and Mission 4 in AW2. Later on, you start getting more advanced units and the game gets much tougher.
TheShadowlord90 I'd say it's more like a "No RNG" Fire Emblem.
Teh Apeman modern comba. Statistical and precise. Instead of relying more on the experience and equipment of your men.
+whoisthisgit claws? ouch
That tag power song is fucking awesome!
No, never mention DS. That game doesn't deserve to be even close to a video about the good AW games
Hawkecrail What's wrong with DS? I mean, besides breaking the balance of vehicles entirely.
TheShadowlord90 On worst levels ever 9 there's a guy called lion prince x8 my argument is under there. Sorry im lazy and don't want to copy it to here
Hawkecrail
That's fine. I understand.
TheShadowlord90 ok
Well, 'Kanbei's Error?' was really hard to beat (there probably is an S-Rank strategy to win this map in about 9 turns) but there's an even harder Misson in this game...have you ever Played 'Rivals' in Hard Campaign? You face Eagle with Andy in Fog of War (there is no Forest or Reef on the Map) on a Ground-Air-Map. You start off with 11 Properties 1 Inf and 2 Mechs in your Base, Eagle Starts with 18 Properties, 3 Inf near the Center Bases and Airport, 4 Fighters, 4 Bombers, 3 B-Copters, 2 Md-Tanks, 2 tanks 2 Anti-Air Units and 1 Missile-Launcher. Good Luck winning this one! (Btw: it's possible to win that map)
The trick you used at the end is quite brilliant. Good job if you figured it out after many hours of perseverance.
question how did that factory get in that middle of no where spot
Kanbei's Error in mani campaign: Strategy in basement placement is a big part of warfare! You need to consider the location and type of each one to really know if it'll be useful!
Kandei's Error in hard campaign: WHO CARES ABOUT BASES WHEN I CAN JUST BRUTE FORCE MY WAY TO THE WIN?!
Why is kanbais Transport helicopter an orange star one ?
Are you ready for play this again on switch ????
fog of war do you know this is reminding of this is totally fog of war, fire emblem style
and worst of all NO TORCH!
My younger brother beat all Advance Wars Games in hard Mode with "S" . The only thing he did not beat in S are 2 or 3 unfair Szenarios Maps from Dual Strike.
Even with a lot of love for these Games , even my brother got finally worn out.^^
I
won the Hard Mode too, but around rank "B". Still i was hardly a match for my brother in Multiplayer
+Berek71182
So what are those 2-3 maps from Dual Strike?
really nicely made video. very entertaining
what song was used at 10:09?
and yes kanbeis error on hard mode was a huge pain in the ass -_-
Black Hole's Tag Power theme in Advance Wars Dual Strike.
hey Git what do you think bout these games advance wars 1 and 2 being remade?
It's nice to see the series finally return, but a new game would have been better.
