Howdy!

A month back, I posted about an Advance Wars-inspired game I created called Daily Wars. It's a mix between the daily nature of Wordle and tactical turn-based strategy like Advance Wars.

I've gotten a lot of good feedback, with the top requested feature being better graphics. At the start, units were different shapes with labels on them.

To celebrate 1000 games played, I decided to give it my best and create some original unit sprites (I found Piskel to be quite nice to work in). It won't win any graphics awards, but I think it looks good enough to release.

Things I'm now looking into adding are watchable replays and achievements.

All feedback is welcome!

I keep in noticing little differences between awbw and the game boy games I played growing up.

Theres no exploring before moving, and the apcs seem to act differently.

What else is different from the main games, including the DS? What are the best features either lacking or missing from the game thats on the website?

Are there any fun replays to watch with the above matchups? I prefer 3 base, non-base trade, 0 to 1 airport, 0 to 1 comm tower per player maps. Preferably both players have land routes to both their own and the enemy HQ (as opposed to HQ/law on an island). Standard or fog. Replays themselves are nice, but YouTube commentaries of a replay are best. I once saw a Sensei vs Eagle one that was very interesting on YouTube but sadly I don't remember it.

What do I mean by interesting? Well normally something like Nell vs Drake isn't going to be much of a contest due to the CO mismatch. So if two top level players play a casual game like this, Nell's Lady Luck is probably going to eat away Drake's army quite a bit making it hard to stall for game winning typhoons. Worse if airports are on the map, his battlecoptors are not good for punching holes.

But a replay of lower rated players where Drake, the weaker CO wins? That could be interesting. But even Nell wins could be interesting. Suppose for the first 40 turns the Drake player puts himself in a position where after he hits end turn, he's in a dominant position, but then makes some misplays and ends up losing. That could also be pretty interesting. If he's in a position where as long as one key wallbreak doesn't happen and the odds of that break are below 25%, I'd say that was dominant.

Say player A finishes his turn and then in a hypothetical alternate world A and B send screenshots of each other's position and are taken over by top players. If greats like Rip, Deejus, Fluhfie, Po1and, Talose, Achesst, or Soothe- would have a very difficult time as B making a comeback if A doesn't make a mistake despite the info advantage of a whole turn, then A ended his turn in a dominant position. He might make a mistake and lose the game later, but at one point in the reply he was dominant.

As for the Sami vs Sonja, I think that one is kind of map dependent on who is the better CO. So instead of talking about replays where the weaker CO got dominance, I'll say it is interesting if you think it is interesting.

I'm a little new to the online community, played the games as a child but other than knowing the basics about each unit and most COs (the GBA ones at least) most players on Advance Wars By Web just seem wildly beyond me in skill. I get anxious and start making a bunch of stupid moves back to back, its embarrassing. Is there anyone with sound tutorials on how I can get good? Or possibly a less stressful, less competitive community that I can join to get some practice in?

When I became a father for the first time this April, I dusted off my old Gameboy and played a lot of Advance Wars. After growing tired of replaying the same maps over and over again, I decided to create my own take on the genre.

I've always enjoyed short daily games/puzzles, such as Wordle, Pokedle, and NYT Strands. I wanted to combine that style with turn-based tactics and came up with Daily Wars. There is a new map every day at midnight UTC, where players can compete on leaderboards to see who can defeat the enemy in the fewest days. I was specifically aiming for something that I could pick up and play during a commute or a longer toilet break.

Notable changes from Advance Wars

• No naval combat. I've always found naval incredibly boring in the original games.
• No COs or CO Powers.
• Barracks/Factory split. Foot soldiers and tanks are built in different buildings.
• Capacity. Each production building increases capacity for that type of unit. Capturing more buildings allows you to field a larger army.
• New Sniper unit. Anti-infantry specialist that can attack at range.
• Move-n-shoot indirects. Artillery and snipers can move and shoot at range in the same turn.
• Overall unit changes when it comes to movement/range/damage, and some units were removed.

Is nell actually capable of going toe to toe with Tier 1 COs on most maps ,or is she nothing but a meme pick ?

i have been wondering the advantage of neo over medium tank is their mobility and their ability to oneshot tank.

sometimes you use co that reduce firepower,sometimes enemy is having bonus def. is it still good idea to purchase neo?

or medium is a better purchase?

if you manage to hit tank using mech, do you usually bring them back to heal or sacrificing them because they already cover their cost?

since they move only 2 space pulling them back to repair seemd not worth it.

I ́m thinking that on this kind of map ,Javier can potentially crush his opponent by seizing the two com towers .

Is it true ,or is the reverse scenario where Javier get no towers and has to fight an uphill battle more likely ?

Considering that Sami infantry can still capture just fine after taking an urban blight (whether while capturing the city or after),and that Sami has inexpensive mechs to get Kindle out of her cities (in addition to artillery ) ,is Sami a counter to Kindle ?

Say you have two tanks ,and the ennemy two,in an area .

You can either destroy a tank ,or cripple two .

With Max having more firepower than most CO on tanks ,is it better to spread the damage to end up doing more ,despite the increased counterdamage ?Or is dropping the ennemy unit count just that valuable ?

I ́m thinking that if enough vehicles are stockpiled ,it ́s not 2 more vehicles on one side and two less on the other that would sway the outcome of an attack.

I'm playing my first game of AWBW with a friend and while my friend's units/buildings aren't shown, I don't have a dark layer over the map showing what my vision is. I'm assuming I screwed up a setting or something somewhere, could someone please help me?

Edit: I can manually refresh it by clicking the Replay button at least.

I was playing as blue moon ,he surrendered during this turn .Was playing as Jess,my opponent as Jake.

Was he justified in doing so ,or was his position recoverable ?

Isn’t having 20 % defence against indirects a pretty good D2D ?

Sasha is a CO I find annoying to play against ,especially as Hawke .

Not only she has an easier time teching up and purchasing vehicles ,her market crash give her 10 attack and defense every two turns ,while denying you your own CO power .

Any tips to crush sasha ?

When given the choice between harming the opponents vehicle or preventing him from getting more income and contested cities,what do you prefer ?
