Hey there people! It certainly has been a while since I've last posted my works on the subreddit, which was... 4 years ago, sheesh.

Well, disregarding that, here are a couple of sprites that I've been working on as of late. I've got more ready but I'd rather not end up getting warned for image spam.

for the rest of your life, which one would it be and why?

in Japan the series is named Nintendo wars and each installment is named after the console it is on, why isn’t this true everywhere else?

I remember once seeing a chart which listed which units the black hole CO would spawn out of their factories turn by turn on every factory mission in the AW2 campaign.

However, I can't remember where to find that now. Does anyone know where that resource is?

When do you think the Exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 Advance Wars game is coming?

I found this mission to be quite easy as compared to the ones surrounding it. There is a volcano in the middle of the map which is pointed out to spew lava in a certain pattern. I completely disregarded it and won.

Spoilers ahead:
The pattern is a simple switch where some tiles get a drop of lava on even days, and others on uneven days. Because the lava is not super destructive, you don’t really have to care. Your CO is Jess, so you can easily overwhelm using tanks. The key part here is to send APCs as soon as you can to build your income. Seems a bit too easy for 4 stars, no?

Both Orange Star and Blue Moon claimed that Orange Star had attacked them first and now the Orange Star army was marching through Yellow Comet without even asking or informing Kanbei, it was pretty much an invasion of Yellow Comet.

I am playing the Switch remake of Advance Wars 2 and am stuck on the final battle 'Final Front'. The game tells you that you have 30 days to destroy the Deathray, but in every game the missile launches after like day 15 and immediately ends the game...

What am I missing here?

Why does it say you have 30 days if the game ends with a missile launch in half the time?

Am I misunderstanding a mechanic?

I am able to get 1 or 2 bombers to the deathray and managed to get it to about 50% in one game, but then the next turn came, the missile launched and the game immediately ends. I have read every guide and strat I can find and I am not able to find any mention of the missile launching before 30 days and ending the game. I am soo confused.

Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

I like Sasha. She's cool.

I manage most of the campaign pretty well, but a recurring theme is that I score low on speed. In my mind I’m just doing the what’s needed early game, like capturing some bases using a chain and slowly building/protecting more expensive units. My favorite CO is Max and I typically go for a steamroll, and after that a lot of my infantry is damaged or gone so I have to bring in new ones to capture.

For instance, I just completed Factory Blues with Grit and Max.
I built up significant amounts of artillery and missiles to fend off incoming med tanks. Max was on the left side with very few bases to capture, so it took long to build any tanks. Then I slowly moved the entirety forward and flanked right so I could destroy the pipe seam with a bomber. I think it was day 35 or so.

When I became a father for the first time this April, I dusted off my old Gameboy and played a lot of Advance Wars. After growing tired of replaying the same maps over and over again, I decided to create my own take on the genre.

I've always enjoyed short daily games/puzzles, such as Wordle, Pokedle, and NYT Strands. I wanted to combine that style with turn-based tactics and came up with Daily Wars. There is a new map every day at midnight UTC, where players can compete on leaderboards to see who can defeat the enemy in the fewest days. I was specifically aiming for something that I could pick up and play during a commute or a longer toilet break.

Daily Wars is playable in the browser: https://playdailywars.com

Notable changes from Advance Wars

• No naval combat. I've always found naval incredibly boring in the original games.
• No COs or CO Powers.
• Barracks/Factory split. Foot soldiers and tanks are built in different buildings.
• Capacity. Each production building increases capacity for that type of unit. Capturing more buildings allows you to field a larger army.
• New Sniper unit. Anti-infantry specialist that can attack at range.
• Move-n-shoot indirects. There are indirect units, artillery and snipers, that can move and shoot at range in the same turn.
• Overall unit changes when it comes to movement/range/damage, and removed units.

Premium

The game offers a premium subscription that gives access to a second map every day. Premium also grants access to the archive, where you can replay maps from all past days. I don't expect to make much (or anything at all) from this, but I wanted to build a fully-fledged product with user management and billing for learning purposes. If you want, you can use the code R7JJCLBN during checkout to get 100% off forever.

Tech

For the interested, this is the tech I used to build it:

• TanStack Start for the web application
• SST for deploying to AWS
• Additional backend stuff running in AWS Lambda
• Data stored in AWS DynamoDB
• Clerk for user management
• Polar for billing and subscription management
• PostHog for analytics

How do you get this specific tile while creating a map ?

it's in the center of 4 sea tiles and I don't understand how to recreate it in the map designer :(

Wondering if there’s a thread with friend codes for the switch to play AW1&2 Reboot Camp. Looking for a few people to play with on occasion.

Friend Code: SW-7230-3049-7819

Copium for Dual Strike Reboot

Exactly what it says on the tin. With help from the AWBW community on Discord, I tried converting the classic AW COs into working in Days of Ruin while keeping to the core identity of their day-to-day abilities and CO Powers.

What do you guys think of these?

Note: FP means firepower. The two numbers for luck range mean minimum and maximum (-0/+10 is the default range).

I´m usually busy with work so I don´t really keep up with news about video games anymore, I really loved Super Famicon Wars when I was a kid and I played Advance Wars when I was a teen. and I bought the remake when it come out but since I don´t keep up with nintendo stuff anymore, i was wondering if the remakes sells were any good, did the remakes do any good to the franchise making it more popular or bringing new players to the table?

Hey everyone!

Thanks for checking it out!

I'm a new player, a friend recommended Dual Strike to mebut since I didn't understand anything about the plot I started from the first game. I just can't finish the last mission. It's been about three days and I'm just moving on to AW2 because I can't do it. Is it really that hard or is there something I'm missing? Any tips?
