I want another AWDS, with the balance of DoR.

HAHAHA No one would be stupid enough to allow that to happen and then let it stay that way for 20 turns.

Eagle ftw

[url=#user_comment_25969]@Akal[/url] Because Jo is not American AW, the female COs are all hot hmmmmm Jo, why don't you make comic about AW female COs?

It costs 4000G to block your 20000G, for 20 turns. Then you just die. One could do the same to a Battleship, Sub, or Lander with transport copters, but that's just a waste of cash.

Also, Grit ftw.

i'm suprised Jo didn't make a saint patricks day comic.

Also, the reason you do it with infantry and not submarines is fuel.
Eventually a plane surrounded by infantry will crash from lack of fuel.
Subs tend to run out of fuel faster, especially against Eagle with his super efficient planes.
Not that the situation comes up often to kill that way.

Days of ruin is a lot more balanced, so overall I prefer it. I still need to beat the last mission of the campaign though >_<

@Alex CatmanT: Units (the blue fighter) can't pass enemies (the red infantry) no matter what. So the fighter can't move because its surrounded.

oh my god i waited for the day for someone to make a comic out of this.

That shit wouldn't happen in MW2... but it would be fucking hilarious if it did. xD

OH NOES the airplanes gonna run him over!

@Alex CatmanT:

Regarding P.S.

...is tradition. You be wrong to stop tradition.

Ahahaha, I thought it was strange that all planes could apparently hover, but I never realized how ridiculous this concept is.
Also, Famicom Warsssssss.

[url=#user_comment_25936]@EMP[/url]: That would be the most win ever!

classic advance wars. The series first started on NES but only came here when it came on GBA. So what is classic?

[url=#user_comment_25941]@Anon[/url]: Go to www.torrentz.com and type DoR soundtrack. Don't forget to get Utorrent first. Alex

So, what? The soldiers know some super spots for killing airplanes? Or are the planes REALLY weak?

Interesting,
Alex

P.S. Why do the picture posters always post the idiot stuff like, "SPAH HUR!" it blocks the imaginative funny stuff, and makus me awl sayud. D';

... and can't get accustomized to the cartoony, kinda misplaced art of the other AW games.
Plus, DoR has a FUCKING AMAZING SOUNDTRACK.
I wish you could get high quality versions somewhere.

this is like CS 1.6 vs CS:S, if you played Source first you'll never like 1.6 because source is better. If you played 1.6 first you'll never wanna adapt to the improved graphics and physics. You feel like "losing something".
Same with Advance Wars. I played DoR first, ...

Next comic, bombers blocked by submerged submarines.

we have clearance Clarence
roger Roger, whats our vector Victor?

EPIC COMIC IS EPIC

Pfft. Lin's hot, your arguments are invalid.

Precision F strike.

THIS

hahahahahaha

Yeah it's one of those times when game mechanics had to take precedence over game immersion.

Though I always wondered why they didn't just give the planes a "no-clip" hack xD

EPIC WIN JO!!! YOU ROCK!!!

If you liked Advance Wars, go play Gadget Trial

What I hate about the new AW is the lack of variety. There's effeclivly only tow difrents skins for the units and only 12 different CO. [url=#user_comment_25902] @Rubiximus[/url]: Yhea we all got those kind of games we hate. For me it's the RTS which ask me to multitask over 30 differents brokens gameplay mechanics.

... you know up until now i never actually questioned why my infantry spam could block aircraft :p

@mr flibbles: Highway to the danger zone.

I still have yet to understand how 4 little guys with rifles could prevent a jet from flying over...

First panel had me singing the Top Gun theme in my head.

TAKE MAH BREATH AWAAAAAAY~

I loved the old AW games, personally. Like a lot of other people said, the unique personalities of everyone/thing in the game made it feel much more colorful and alive. DoR had some interesting mechanics/units, but the CO system was wonky (and sucky) and the level up system broke things.

That's true, but the animations were way more stylized and stuff. I guess it fit the theme.

I always felt left out of the Advance Wars lovin'. Great games and all, but my suckage at chess tends to carry over to TBS games. T_T

[url=#user_comment_25887]@Max[/url]: Grit! You mean Eagle!

Ah that brings back memories! :D Must admit it always bugged me that soilder spotted my planes xP The Mech's I could understand, least they had rocket launchers.

Advance war will always have a special place in my heart... by the by, you almoust got all the nations correct - blue moon reasembled russia :)

GOT YA NOW GRIT!

This reflects my thoughts on the series. I loved the CO mechanics in the earlier titles (macro land?) and don't care much for the ones in DoR, however the units in DoR make it hard for me to go back and play the earlier titles without Bikes and Move+Attack Battleships.

Gotta give props for this comic. That game is amazing with four players backstabbing and yelling at each other.

Personally, I prefer the old style. It had more of that "chess meets professional wrestling" feel than that new dark one. Although, the gameplay in the dark one is WAY more balanced.

Fall out 3 comic?

Yes! Love AW so much... Woiuld've have been even more epic it were dived submarines surrounding it :-)

I'm the exact opposite, the light-hearted tone always felt really at odds with the grim death tolls in the earlier incarnations. I preferred Days of Ruin because the tone, while grim, was consistent.

Lens Flare

I liked the old Advance Wars games for the COs. They all had personality and whatnot, and I liked the light-hearted tone they brought to the party.
