War Room Challenge 2012: Advance Wars 2

This was a wildly out of control result of what was supposed to be a one-month hack to develop a new War Room challenge for Advance Wars 2. Instead, it has turned into something that’s taken over a year to put together, complete with a large amount of refinements and gameplay additions. Complete with new COs from the AW series, plenty of challenging maps and a bundle of hand-coded new features, this is a definitive hack to play for Advance Wars fans (or people who like turn based strategy games!). All the challenges present are hand-crafted by Xenesis and many, many members of the Advance Wars community with over a year’s worth of refinement.

Game Features:

- 30 New War Room Maps to play on - Some remixes of existing maps, most brand new from the AW Community.

- Tutorial map with summary of game rules, scoring and new hack features.

- Each map has an info dossier with the par time and author of the map.

- Each CO has unique combat abilities in the War Room setting. Some COs from Advance Wars Dual Strike and Days of Ruin make an appearance as well!

- Improved high score support - The game records S-ranks achieved on each map with each CO.

- Improved status screens - The unit status screen now shows CO abilities more accurately and with more stats.

- Pre-deployed maps provide unique army compositions depending on your CO selection - a feature returning from Advance Wars 1!

- New deterministic weather rules for fairer scoring!

- Extended Status Screen - Shows your rank in progress and whether you have S-Ranked this map with the current CO.

- Improved Enemy AI - Enemy COs no longer use CO powers when they’d have no reason to use them and use them more intelligently!

- Unlockables - Earn more COs by scoring S Ranks on maps!

- Play against or as the series’ evil villains - Caulder, Sturm and Von Bolt
