The game requires to complete in 6 days, by surviving. 5 days require to destroy all enemy units before the end of the time count.

This is the challenge version of the map: we start with more units but AI has much more units aswell. This is supposed to be one of the hardest map =P

@fidelwars9674 I think it is one of the hardest in normal mode but starting with two tanks and a Rockets I feel like helps alot even if they also get more idk. How do you unlock challenge mode? I 100% both games :/

@@RickyG93 You can buy it in Hachi's shop! www.warsworldnews.com/wp/aw12r/game-aw12r/unlockables-and-secrets-rbc/

@fidelwars9674 Oh lol nice I never even looked at that shop thing. Sweet thanks.

The AI is surprisingly dumb in this map: ignoring the loaded APC, moving his Neo to the northwest, and loading inf. In War Room, AI defends its HQ to the death.

What surprised me was the last infantry being in range and just...not even trying to attack. Really nice work on this!

@@NSignus Right. In the old versions of the games, AI infs were infamous for not protecting their HQ (that was called "inf misfire"), but in the reboot it was supposedly fixed.

There are a couple cuts in the video where I'm pretty sure he reloaded the turn to get the preferred outcome. There is quite a bit of variance usually

It's 100% legit. Every map on every Advance wars game can be beaten in minimal time, but finding those strats require several hours of thinking and planning. Also watch out for the challenge Rivals video.

If you do the exact same moves, AI still has a few different possible patterns but it's not well understood how to switch between them. You can try to close the game at the start of AI day, or alternatively you can yield, start a new map then come back on the final battle. Let us know if you manage to get it, and how many different behaviors you experimented.

@fidelwars9674 I just ground them down over the next 10 days or so instead.

What do you struggle to get: speed, power or technique? You need to finish in 12-13 days, and the score is calculated only with the winning army so if your Andy has low power/tech just delay to finish with another CO.

@@fidelwars9674 I mean, in a way I'm struggling with all three. but the main issue is beating it fast enough. the longer the map goes on, the more units sturm builds, so that hurts the power score. As I press into his territory, the more bunched up my units are, so it's harder to misdirect the meteor, thus hurting my technique score.

@@fidelwars9674 Thank you. That info that the army that wins is what the score is based on is what allowed me to get the score. I knew it wasn't just based on Andy's score in this version, but I assumed that was becaused they changed it to take the average of all armies, and I was operating under that assumption. I was able to win by making sure to keep eagle out of the meteor and set max and andy up to tank most of the units on Sturms turns.

It would be a good idea to check for 8 days but that would require emulation tools, in particular savestates and cheat to disable FoW.

There's no luck involved in that. At higher levels of play, building unit clusters or trimming the enemy's unit composition to change where the missile co powers target is normal gameplay

Just three? I got it turn 2,4,7,9, and 12

Old AI had game-breaking quirks where it didn't defend its own HQ or could stalemate itself. RBC AI is much more consistent and is just dumb enough (with Transports priority) to make the hard AW1 maps enjoyable without overkilling them. And the new FoW AI is really better. My main complaint with RBC AI is that it takes too much time to compute what to do...

I think RBC AI should just copy 'n' paste Days of Ruins's AI more than no more cheating in Fog of Wars, it's compute fast as the game animation, not too idiotic to be too easy and cheese but not smart enough to stall indefinitely or overload game CPU & casual players.

Yes I play FE on GBA but there's too much RNG involved, I prefer AW and AW-likes.

He only builds a few things and doesn't bother resupplying, lol

Well, he and Andy must be in this chapter to unlock the last match against Eagle. So yeah.

I retried a bit and didn't make any progress on classic nor challenge. But if the developers put the secret message, maybe they knew a way to get it?

It IS glass, technically

AW1 Sturm is basically grimm, with a large AOE attack as a ability.

He baseskip too lmao

Fuel is only used up on redo movement in fog of war.

Yes, and both versions rely on AI spending all his money in building fighter/bomber. But those builds rely on unknown - and seemingly illogical - conditions. I investigated a lot how AI TFB Sturm builds in AW1 and the best theory I've come with is that it builds counter-units in answer to the units of only one of our 3 armies, and switches the selected army depending on our position.
