AW1&2 Reboot Friend Code Share Thread

94 Upvotes

This has probably been done before, but I can't really find a "New" or "Hot" thread for friend code sharing. Seeing as there is no matchmaking, I thought I would start a thread. Add me, share yours, add others, etc. I'll start with my FC:

SW-3523-5591-0912

There are also 2 discords that I know of. Of course, I mainly suggest the subreddit discord which is https://discordapp.com/invite/BUnCb9A

but there is another fan-made discord that I follow that has a pretty decent following which I highly suggest as well https://discord.gg/DxjJ3RX3qX

Does capping cities deny your opponent income?

17 Upvotes

Hi All,

My friend tells me that a city which is being captured by an opponent will not give you funds until it stops being capped.

As a result he likes to use damaged infantry to troll-cap, rather than as scouts.

Looking at my income, I can't see it change when I'm being capped.

Is he correct? We play AWBW.

Days of Ruin [Hack Help Request] Days of Ruin Text Editor?

3 Upvotes

I want to make a silly "Google Translated" patch that simply runs the game's script through a machine translator a bunch of times and then reinsert it. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm not much of a hacker or programmer myself, but if a text editor exists out there, a script replacement should be easy enough for me to figure out! Or otherwise, if anyone happens to know how to do this and it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd deeply appreciate the help! I hope to play the hack on my channel (because who wants to watch yet another vanilla play through of DoR, right!?). The English script is available on GameFAQs, so that's what I was planning to run through the translator.

Woring Dual Strike cheats for Steam Deck

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I am trying to run Dual Strik in MelonDS and things run fine but I am having trouble getting cheats to "stick". There are codes listed for "Squad #1", "Squad #2" for infinit health but it's not a sticky code in terms of preventing damage / death. There is a higher level invincibility cheat but it doesn't seem to work.

TL;DR - anyone have any luck on getting cheats to work (god mode specifically) on Steam Deck / MelonDS / Emulator?

Days of Ruin What do you think about fog of war covering cities in Days of Ruin?

9 Upvotes

I like a lot of changes in Days of Ruin, but about this I'm not sure, I can see some potential drawbacks. For example, it nerfs recons pretty hard, they can't scout and attack (by themselves) enemy infantry in cities. Even if recon sees that an infantry entered a city tile it can't prevent the city's capture because fog doesn't allow attacking.

It also buffs indirects, they are a lot safer in cities. Anti-tank on city in fog is ridiculously hard to dislodge (and in Tinywars Experimental they buffed anti-tank for some reason, heh).

Custom Content Advance Wars 1 Improvement Hack

17 Upvotes

I made this AW1 hack few weeks ago and wanted to share the hack here too.

Features (as in version 1.1):

  • "War Room Sturm" hack made by Kartal.

  • COs buff

  • Units buff (firepower, vision, fuel)

  • Cheaper Naval units

  • Cruiser and Lander can load and unload units at bridge, river, and shoal.

  • Dialogue change/fix using https://lostinlocalization.com/airport/ and https://gbwn.main.jp/GBWA1+2.htm as reference.

  • More forgiving speed limit in both normal Campaign and War Room mode.

  • War Room COs controlled by CPU now use the accurate faction color.

  • Some War Room enemy COs are changed for variety.

  • Change to the pre-deployed units on some stages (except Sonja's stages) in Campaign (mostly Advance Campaign) mode for example in Rivals! (AC), all Eagle units only start with 3 HP while Andy start with Fighter, Anti-Air, and Infantry (still Fog of War).

More info can be found on readme.

EXTRA: I also included the cheat file: Advance Wars.clt (for VBA) and Advance Wars-M.clt (for VBA-M), it has faction color cheat.

Fangame/Spinoff This is just a super rough and choppy animation test, but I think I'll keep working on this and do a fully animated battle scene to go with my Advance Wars style map mockup I did previously.

Advance Wars I've beaten Enigma (using Sami)

7 Upvotes

This is the most hardest mission ever. (i know i used Sami. cuz I won't to unlock rivals). it took me days just to make the perfect strategy. Finally, I've captured Sturm's base under 31 days, and i got a B for it.

Phew, so much for a GBA game.

Anyone else got a similar experience?

AWBW How would navel feel with the following buffs?

4 Upvotes

I get the impression navel is considered slightly underpowered in this game.

If navel had 125% attack and defense Modifer so a 8 hit point unit was now as strong as a ten hit point unit, would naval be underpowered, overpowered or balanced.

If navel was given a plus one range vs ground forces, would that be underpowered or overpowered, (to be clear this lets direct units do indirect attacks vs ground forces)

Bonus to both options, if a air unit is resupplied by a navel unit, it gains plus 10/10 defense for next two rounds

Whaf if the following options were doubled in strength.
