Advance Wars By Web Anonymous 07/28/2023 (Fri) 10:34:16 Id: 1b782e No. 864003
Hey anons, do you also enjoy the Nintendo Wars series? How about making some sort of clan (similar to fullderp's) and beat up other Advance Wars players online, or organize gamenights gamedays? https://awbw.amarriner.com/ Wiki, use it to learn the single units' strengths and weaknesses - https://awbw.fandom.com/wiki/Advance_Wars_By_Web_Wiki Useful channels to learn about the intricacies of the game from some top players Deejus (Standard, Fog) - https://invidious.protokolla.fi/channel/UCdVletBUPnDn3199K_PRLKw Go7 (Fog) - https://invidious.protokolla.fi/channel/UCbHQsp34FNSxkyYZDto6pcQ atrueboss (High Funds) - https://invidious.protokolla.fi/channel/UCyobnXFu3iCr2wRyQl0-4UQ There is also Tinywars, if you're into Days of Ruin instead, but I'm not as knowledgeable of the meta. https://tinywars.online/game/legacy/index.html

>>1020258 Would Elon Musk play Advance Wars?
>>1020340 That's probably paid product placement for Polytopia. Musk plays normalfag games like Elden Ring to seem relatable.
>>1020258 I always thought so, but then again turns are called "Days" so you could argue that Cosmo/Macro/Omega Land are all in a Scandinavian like position of 6 months of nighttime or it's just bad weather >>1020340 One of his sons sacrificed his Pawn to become a Queen >>1020349 Musk is objectively the least cool rich person to ever exist. No matter his achievements and his wealth, the fact that only pre Xitter acquisition Reddit is the group that even remotely liked him is a testament to how cringe he is as a human being.
>>1020340 He did play Fallout 3, so who knows. As far as I know the reason Todd and Elon know each otehr, is because Todd bought a Tesla with all the options, and when you do that Musk personally calls you, and incidentally he had played Fallout 3 https://invidious.jing.rocks/watch?v=XXhyONB9Q5k

>>1020397 Your Musk take is actual Reddit and you have to go back.
>>1020397 You realize that most rich people are old pedophile vampires want you to eat bugs and live in pods, right?
>>1020437 Pray that you never become the top 10% in net worth or it'll happen to you too.
>>1020444 What are those numbers supposed to be, yearly wages? Net value of personal property? Because I don't buy the latter for a second. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/release/tables?eid=813668&rid=453
>>1020458 It's from Credit Suisse 2022 Global Wealth Report, go find out.
>>1020458 Your table lists value of wealth, not amount of people in that category, dunno if its global or america either.
What's the wealth pyramid for America?
(7.22 KB 460x109 Source.jpg)

>>1020512 Not how sourcing works. >>1020517 It says "global," so it would seem to be about the world population, but then who knows? It could be talking about the Swiss bank's depositors for all we can tell. The link I put >>1020458 shows the population breakdown for the Americans, but it isn't global.
>>1020530 It's how sourcing works, the source tells you where to answer the question of what those numbers are supposed to be.
>>1020537 No, sourcing is not, "do a Google search for some company I mentioned and try to find a particular study somewhere that may or may not explain the numbers on this inforgraphic." The internet really has made people stupider.
>>1020580 Sourcing cites where something came from. The figures on The Global Wealth Pyramid come from the Global Wealth Report by Credit Suisse 2022. That's the cited source. It's where they come from. You're the stupid one, go back to /mex/.
Anyone else playing Global League?
>>1037290 Not right now.
>>1020349 Isn't Elon Musk a Diablo 4 pro?
>>1037475 He used to be in the top 20 of the Pit of Artificers leaderboards, with a Pit 150 time of 2 minutes, 45 seconds, using the broken Quill Volley build.
>>1037475 He's not literally the greatest player but it's amazing how good he is given the amount of stuff on his plate ATM. The only people beating him are NEETs and no-lifers who live for the game and aren't building self-landing rockets as a day job.
>>1037475 >>1037529 >>1037549 I didn't play Diablo 4, how good's Top 20? How competitive's the ranking?
>tfw tvtropes talks about how OP mech spam is but it's a terrible idea in actual competitive play due to being countered by the most common unit - infantry, and terrible mobility prevents it from countering vehicles effectively anyways That's what I get for believing anything coming out of tvtropes
>>1037701 Mech spam can be good if your opponent is throwing tanks into them :)
>>1037564 Pretty competitive. This is the leaderboard: https://helltides.com/pit It has 1000 people, Elon Musk's now #34.
>>1037701 The Mech Spam memes comes from two sources: for one, the AI starts spamming Mechs when they're low on Infantry or are about to lose, which tends to prolong matches since Mechs have higher defense than Infantry and can damage your vehicles. On the other hand, before AWBW became more populated by players and an understanding of the meta was developed by top players, most people's experience with AW multiplayer is beating each other up in the prebuilt maps, which are horribly unbalanced and favor specific playstyles, getting HQ capped in fog battles because it never occurs to people that they're not playing the AI and generally picking COs out of liking them more than strategic pre planning. Tv Tropes is populated by horrible players anyhow. I have once edited a page on one obscure game to describe an actual unfair exploit that is even more obscure, and out of curiosity checked out similar entries on other pages, which are mostly filled with basically core gameplay elements sprinkled with a hundred adjectives and outlinks. >>1037733 I know it's a joke, but even as a troll answer this is objectively wrong. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NIpCi70hrA (no invidio link because the site has been unusable for hte last month)
>>1037701 To be more precise: Mechs are a bad unit purely because of their speed. One less movement doesn't sound like much but it completely destroys the pathing from base to battlefield, and considering PvP is all about positioning, securing map specific objectives and incremental advantages, a Mech chain by itself is really bad. However, if you treat Mechs like Artillery (weak by themselves, strong when properly assisted) they can be quite potent. For example, majority of top players making Mechs tend to couple them with a Transport Copter and a Recon/Tank support from behind. Two Mechs and a Transport Copter go for 3k + 3k + 6k and can deal as much damage and be about as movable as two Tanks at 7k + 7k. If we're talking pure eco, assuming the map allows for quick retreats, you can basically trade favorably with Mechs if you use an army composition like that. Additionally, there's some COs that have just objectively better Mechs, either for movement (Adder, Sami, Koal) or because of extra defense making them even better at dealing with Tanks if properly positioned (Von Bolt, Javier, Lash, Kindle). There's also COs that you just would never be able to play with Mechs, either because of weaker stats or because they don't fit their playstyle at all (Sturm doesn't need Mechs because he already has perfect movement and fuck you defense, Max's Mechs are redundant because of Tanks, Jess just sucks at keeping Infantry alive etc.).
>>1038544 >>1038540 Yes, the only real way to use mechs is to build at most 3 of them and pray your map has cover for them. A single mech is curious, 2-3 is mech spam, 4+ is throwing.
Also adder is a better mech user than sami.
>>1038552 >Also adder is a better mech user than sami. It really depends on the map. Aside from the fact that they're usually in different tiers, regardless of game mode, Sami Mechs per se are worse than Adder's because the latter has access to his COP much more frequently than Sami, however you need to factor in the +1 movement on all transports that Sami gets with her D2D, which means they're even more mobile than Adder's.

>>864003 I just got back to playing the Global League and the match making in this game makes zero sense, either you get matched up with literal children who bumrush units into you or with Magnus Carlsen tier players Still loving it
>>1046325 It's because there are youtube videos on how to solve maps, like checking movement efficiency for openings is 60% of how to win, the other 40% is building walls and trading efficiently.
>>1046325 Ah, such is the bane of playing obscure multiplayer games.
>>1046328 To be honest although some of the more balanced maps have tons of videos (mostly because there are tons of available openers for the maps), the GL/Tournament map rotation is so varied that you can never truly have resources for every map at your disposal. A lot of games also have tons of small micro and macro errors that you can't just study comprehensively before a match. >the other 40% is building walls and trading efficiently Except for fog where mindgames and guess work are more important, since you have incomplete intel on your enemy. But Standard and High Funds are 100% a numbers' game once you get to a certain level. >>1046418 Aside from the competitive scene, there's like thousands of games played daily. It's probably in that sweet spot of being both niche and popular enough to warrant donations to the servers.
