Advance Wars 1+2 Re-Boot Camp | Turns Out More Than The Art Was Changed...

There's been some changes and simplifications in Re-Boot Camp but honestly, I think it's for the best. Even tho I ended up with egg on my face.

The AI actually knows how to utilize transports and how to refuel its units with APCs this time.
That alone scares me to an unimaginable extent.

I call it a quality of life improvement. Sure for us no lifes it was a cool retro way of unlocking content. But for everyone else it's just a convoluted nightmare. You can't blame developers for wanting to cater towards the very people that keep society afloat.

[Axecon]

It's kinda the same problem as Smash Bros. Yes, you could spend a long and convoluted time unlocking all the characters, but most people are probably picking up this game for the multiplayer. Therefore you want to be able to unlock all characters as soon as possible so people can utilize them in online matchups.

Hey man, don’t sweat it! I thought the unlock requirements were still there too. Your previous video is still valuable in that it gives solid strategic advice. And I find that if you’re learning the lessons the game has been teaching you and putting them to good use you should be able to meet the previous requirements without struggling too hard anyways. If nothing else it’s nice to have all the choices open for the final mission and I definitely think rivals is in a way better place as a secret bonus challenge! Looking forward to your content on AW2!

[Kalanin]

Some more notable changes are the balancing. I'll list a few of the ones I know:
- Virtually every CO in reboot camp had their CO powers adjusted (I haven't done AW2's campaign yet so i haven't seen that). Specifically it seems every CO now has the 10% firepower/defense buff that Dual Strike applied even when you didn't have any bonuses. This is most notable on Andy (who's CO Power only gave 2hp +10 Defense ), Olaf (who only changed to snow and got no bonuses at all), Sonja, and several others.
- The AI seems to have been adjusted. It might just be me, but it seems to be far more deliberate in interrupting infantry captures and cleaving a path to indirect units.
- Kanbei's counterattack in AW2 (Style 2) has been nerfed to 150% instead of 166%.

I dont know of others immediately right now

This was confirmed when I decided to unlock Olafs sea strike, gave up with killing his armada, captured the HQ and still got the mission despite not achieving the requirements

[BiancaPrimavera]

Did you notice how many landscapes there are? And they change in base of the position of the square on the map, example you are fighting in a field but close to a city, in the background during the fight animation, you see your unit in a field and on background some sky scrappers, if you are close to the sea you will see the sea etch etch and this is so immersive, old advance war had the same landscape during fight, the only change was if you were in city, mountains or sea

[GameAlicornLuna]

Don’t forget the new secret CO from the first campaign… though, he’s still identical, he has a whole new theme and animations to go with him.

[ShikiKiryu]

I noticed this during my Lets Play too, as I didnt beat Kanbei within the turn reqs but still unlocked him, did all the GE missions as Sami for Eagle but still got Drake so it struck me as a little odd but its a fair change. Part of me wishes they had kept the original requirements for challenge, but part of me doesnt mind given the modern sensibilities of most gamers...people would probably complain its too hard if newer, or care to try with things getting shorter/easier.

[lunarnights]

Glad I wasn't the only one confused by this while playing. Personally, I believe that it's a great change for new players. Times and tastes have changed, and I can remember struggling with some of the unlocks way back when I was first playing the original.

[Morgil]

Thank fucking God! In the original, I was practically pulling my hair out trying to beat Kanbie in 8 turns. So glad I don't have to go through that again.

If anyone wants sturm or nell or unlock requirements for everyone else

sorry for repost, youtube hates me editing comments






It seems you need to get an average s rank on aw2 campaign (EDIT HERE) difficulty does not seem to affect the s rank. I haven't played a casual yet so it may just give you less coin for easier s rank.

I also assume hachi works the same way getting him by clearing hard campaign (EDIT HERE) hachi may be unlocked by clearing every aw2 mission on any difficulty

Someone just said on reddit that you need to clear rivals on any campaign for nell

All the other cos are given by clearing certain missions in the campaign

Aw1 you will just automatically get by the end

Aw2 you will get by clearing thier second mission or for black hole, factory missions

LEGMAN! Covering my other favorite tile based strategy game!! You're the best ❤

[Shishizurui]

Your old when you realize that you used to contort yourself to find a nice light spot on the couch to play this game 20 years ago.
if you were like me you lost interest in it, saw all 4 teams felt the characters were kinda cheesy....
Then my friend is like you haven't seen Darth Vader Hittler yet?
Me = surprised pikachu face

[GamerBrandon]

I have completed both normal and challenge campaigns on advance wars 1 campaign to unlock Nell you have to 100% complete the campaign on any difficult I recommend classic or casual BC it's easier also the challenge campaign has changed for example kanbei error seems easier BC they give you a bomber and kanbei starts with a smaller air force

[AsecasJavi]

I didn't know about the characters in the final mission. It worked well since I got grit and Sammy

[KillerZxAce]

That is why I had an M3 card for my DS Lite so I unlocked all characters instantly!

[ColorFunMe]

Very helpful. Been wondering bout the branching paths since the remake was announced.

[sigmacheseman]

cant wait to see the changes for DuaLC Strike

[almothana]

as a new player to the series I appreciate the changes. and I liked experimenting with different COs in the final mission until I beat it.
