>What is this and why should I care?
The -Wars games were once a series of turn-based strategy games developed by Intelligent Systems and published on Nintendo consoles and handhelds, which revolved around the premise of conquering your opponents by either capturing their main HQ while wreaking havoc on their terrestrial, aerial and naval army with your own, or having the strongest infrastructure control of any given map.
These games had a (mostly) solid Single player campaign, but later iterations also had a robust Multiplayer component which not many people were able to enjoy.
Fortunately, there's a way to be able to play most these games easily on PC with other people over the internet. And that's where we come in.
>How do I play?
1.- Download and extract www.mediafire.com/download/35cct9gh28jc9qa/
2.- Double click mednafen.bat
3.- Press Alt + Shift + 1 to setup your controls. (At every unique button prompt, press the key you want to assign it to TWICE so it moves on towards the next button).
4.- To connect to an active server, press T to type /server IP PORT or /connect IP PORT
5.- So we can tell you apart, press T to type /nick YOURNICKNAME
6.- Play the fucking game.
If you join a session with people on it, ask if there's any available open spots. If so, type:
/dupe 1
to share the control. Please note that this emulator IS NOT emulating a Link Cable, so it's as if we were physically in the same room sharing a single GBA and passing it around on turn end to each other.
I know this is 4chan, but don't be a dick and take control or move other people's units when it's not your turn.
Still, it would be a wise decision to keep a number of available savestates (just in case). Choose a slot by using numbers 0-9, press F5 to save and F7 to load.

Current topic of discussion: should we organize a tournament?
If so, when would it be and what rules would we use? Would anyone even be interested?
Please share your thoughts
first for >lostboy.exe
>>123694721
Make a little List. i can design it
The Eagle has landed.
>>123694812
Well my current thoughts are:
>all matches 1v1
>each player gets to ban 1 CO
>maybe a map ban as well?
>set a time limit for all matches in terms of days
>rules for who wins if the game hasn't ended at the time limit
Thoughts?
>>123694938
>>123695029
i mean a list for the competing players
>>123695176
Well I'm Canarmane in chat, I'm down to organize shit and play too
>>123694721
Make it be for DoR so it isn't all ties and infantry spam. :^)
>yellow and red islands can be attacked by all three other players
>green and blue islands can only be attacked by two players
I still don't own a 3ds because at first I told myself I'd wait for AW3D.
It's never happening, is it, guys? Fucking Fire Emblem.
So i made this little chart , so you can pick a color and use it to play matchs and matchs vs another player , the one whit more wins , wins the tournament!
>>123696554
That sounds like it will take ages to do, and no guarantee that people will be able to stay for the entire thing
>>123696817
and this one?
>>123696554
It might be easier to three rounds like Friday Night Magic.
>first round, everyone plays an opponent
>second round, the 1-0 people play each other and the 0-1 people play each other
>last round, do the same for the 2-0, 1-1, and 0-2 people
The hardest part would be finding eight people to play and having them stick around.
i'm not sure tourney will be a good thing.
just play and chill
>>123697505
it's the eventual progression of video games. it begins with people having fun, then faggotry slowly creeps in, until people start having tourneys.
>>123697649
but for fun

Do you want to play so?

I am in the USA server
>moving a battleship in range of 4 rockets
OH SHIT OLAF WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING
Is there a way we can do this online thing with other GBA games like Shing Soul?
>>123699831
Mednafen is simulating something more like passing and playing a single device. Anything that requires a link cable is out.
Well, that match was much ado about nothing.
At least I won the naval battle against Hawke.

>max on suicide watch
>>123706643
Does Max ever win ?
>>123708336
Do people pick Max? I've been on a couple of these streams and never seen Max.
>>123708736
He isn't picked often but it happens from time to time.
>>123708336
Anything is possible in low level play, which has been the norm for most of these threads. Max is bottom tier for almost exactly the issue you're seeing here, though. He can't use artillery which are the second most important unit in the game, and his attack bonus isn't enough to break through the standard infantry/artillery setup.
>>123709092
Max is halfway decent in open maps that require high mobility. Even there he's far from top tier though. I did win with him on loop road once
>>123709092
His tanks can oneshot infantry during his powers though.
>>123709569
It's generally not enough considering he'll just fall behind for the rest of the match
>>123710275
So, Sonja > Max? That doesn't sound right.
>>123709569
Under Max Force, a tank does 105% to an infantry on a road. If the infantry's on a plain, it's 94% and you have a 3-in-5 chance of missing the one-shot.
Max Blast gives the tank a safe ohko on plains, and a 3-in-5 chance of ohko-ing on forests. Between that and the +2 movement, you can make some big plays with it if the opponent screwed up and left you a weak spot in his wall. You're most likely already losing by the time this power is available, though.
>>123710647
Max is definitely better than Sonja, but it's not a huge margin.
>>123710647
I would argue that Sonja is better than Max in some maps. At least Sonja has normal artillery range.
>>123711217
Her persistent bad luck is crippling when so many unit matchups are only barely in 2hko range. Infantry v infantry and tank v tank are both 55% base damage, or 49% on plains. If Sonja gets a bad roll on either attack, the enemy survives with 1HP and you're unable to push through and attack anything behind it.
Dang. I used to love these games, but I have almost no free time to play or come to this general to talk.
>>123711823
True, but infantry wars are generally decided by artillery and positionning. Since Max can't rely on artillery, even Sonja can force Max into a disadvantageous position. She might be worse than him on some maps, but maps that have a lot of factories/chokepoints might be better for her than Max.
>>123712630
Unless she's getting gangbanged by both Max and Eagle.
>>123713952
Which is pretty hot I must admit
>Max no longer on suicide watch
This match has been a hell of a ride.
>>123715387
I managed to finish yellow off just in time to save Max. Had I been a turn late, this game would have been a draw. That was a fun game.
>>123716306
max sending his copter might have saved him
We need players on the omachi server
You should probably include the server list in the next OP. This way it'll be simpler for new people to join
>kanbei ditto
This matchup really shows off how fucked up the damage formula is. Kanbei attacking into Kanbei is often weaker than Colin attacking into a bland CO. 130 attack to 140 defense (because let's say the average unit is on plains) resolves to a net 78% attack strength, which is about as tame as Grit's tanks.
>>123724857
Kanbei couldn't stop Kanbei, it's as simple as that.
Sami had a golden opp but spams bombers instead of spamming infantry from every factory baka.
>>123728235
How do you mess up this badly.

>>123709092
Max is only bad on these weird cart maps that have crazy chokepoint and no airports. Otherwise, he's godlike.
