    Seeing that short clip of the TF2 soldier, I am highly convinced he is a high ranking officer in the Western Frontier

    The water reflections in the naval missions holds up well to this day. KUJU did a phenomenal job with this franchise. It is dearly missed :')

      The guy that wrote that shader is the same person that did the water in source 2.

      My favorite scenes of water reflection were on the Iron Legión vs Solar Empire missions. The water looks realistic to this day.

    I only recently learnt about this series thanks to the cutscenes of Battalion Wars 1 being recommended to me. Through coincedence (or perhaps not?) I learnt that the voice actor of the WF vets is Glenn Wrage, who also voiced Pseudo, the protagonist of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos from 2023. Truly awesome game that i can recommend.
    He seems to also be voicing DOK from the recently released game Zet Zillions. At least, I think it's him.

    A great video! Thank you for making a hommage video for this amazing game in 2024! ❤

    Spot on my friend, spot on with this review! I still play battalion wars to this day! I've been planning on doing my own review of this classic game, might just do that sooner rather than later now!

    This game would have benefitted SO much from having GC controller compatability. The Wii motion controls were a real pain to use here

    6:00 I've never thought of it as vampire fangs, but it all makes sense now. Dracula is from Transylvania after all. Glad to figure this out 8 years after I played the game.

    Great video, loved this game as a kid. The weird part is that I don't remember the solar empire naval mission nor the second to last tundra mission being apart of my copy of the game. I'll have to boot it up to check

    Great video and editing! This was such a trip down nostalgia lane. I remember getting an emulator just to play this game, something I haven't done for anything else before.

    First of all, good video! The Battalion Wars community definitely wants more games like it, but unfortunately Nintendo doesn't seem to care about this gem of a franchise.
    On the other hand, the community does it's best to come out with new ideas to keep itself alive and modding is only one of those things. It was also nice to have an appearance (I'm Kelvynator by the way) on your video with LGG since we continue playing the game online and tournaments are organised each year!
    Like you said, I don't think Battalion Wars 3 will ever happen with the same kind of humor we saw in the 2nd game, but we can never say another game like it or a reboot might not happen. Who knows. Once again, thank you for sharing more things about Battalion Wars to the public and make this franchise known to all!

    not my words but one of my favorite quotes about this game is that it's a successful hybrid genera between strategy and third person shooter

  • @flying_luigi9088

    This is a great video for people that haven't heard of the game before. If you ever want to know more about Battalion Wars or Knight Wars I'd really love to sit down and have a chat with you. Take care.

    I'd argue the Solar Empire is more akin to the high elves than Gondor.

    In the cutscene of Vlad playing chess, all the peices have the icons of the nations in Battalion Wars. Except one...

  • @nerdbeef1196

    Transylvania is Romanian, not German, Vlad, is the first name of the most infamous Romanian military commander in history. Notice here, not Roman, but Romanian, two utterly different things

    i know its picky but you have mispronounced the Solar Empire female CO Names, even though the names are pronounced correctly so many times in game and in cut-scene and the Tsar Gorgi name, the mortar vet is not an Artillery Unit, it is a mortar vet, jesus even mispronounces "Solar" and calling a bazooka "bazookie" im so done Lmao
