not to mention drake doesn't even get an offense boost for his battleships. frankly someone like grimm or hawke has a better naval game.

Did you ban stealths and black bombs? If you did, then you did everything right.

forgot to, but is it cool if me and junpei just have a gentleman's agreement not to build them so we don't have to remake

Is it possible that people not pick grey and black? I had a quick glance and really had to strain my eyes to see the difference in colour between units clearly.

you can't see what color the other person will pick. its probably a good idea to pick colors that contrast well with all the other colors though, yeah.

i would have picked sturm on that map because the center is pretty terrain heavy and recon harass is pretty good on a map where properties are spread out

Picking Sturm just doesn't seem sporting.

he isn't banned or anything. von bolt's d2d and scop are probably stronger on most maps.

shaking my head at the Sami player who built tanks

Tanks are still a very useful unit with high movement that can easily destroy rockets and artillery. It's not like being slightly weaker means they're literally unusable or something. The only COs whose weak units are literally unusable IMO are Max's indirects, Drake's air force, and Eagle's navy.

grimm is decent? he likes pretty final destination maps with little terrain and no comm towers, but if he gets first strike in a big engagement he just straight-up wins. Getting 1hkos on infantry with his tanks is a big deal.

The reason I didn't understand why tanks were being built was because the only units in play at the time were infantry, and the capturing game was still going on. A recon would have made more sense, or even better, an anti-air. Identical movement to a tank, eats infantry and will later be of use against air units.

Anti-airs are more expensive and do less to the artillery you're definitely going to build, and recons have their movement demolished by the terrain on the map.

variety has already been high enough, i dont know why you'd need to introduce a rule to encourage variety when it's already doing okay

I'm really not sure how to "fix" Colin without nerfing him to uselessness and/or completely redesigning his playstyle. I suppose you can argue that Sasha already acts as a "balanced" Colin of sorts.

just make his defense suck too and make his co bar ooooOO and he'd be fine

the reason both kanbei and colin are busted is simple math, they get a net gain from their stats. colin is losing 10% offense for a 20% price drop. Kanbei is spending 30% more for a 60% total increase.

One 'balance' suggestion I've always really liked was making Flak 120/120 on his turn and 80/90 on the enemy's turn. Not that flak's broken but it's a more interesting concept than praying to the RNG.

Kindle has the additional bonus of air units getting boosts from parking them over properties. Normally air combat is just a first-mover game with not a lot of terrain relevance, but when Kindle can get 140% attack power on her choppers you suddenly have to worry big time about what tiles exactly they can attack you from.

Koal and Jake are the same way, they're just not as good as Kindle.

protip to the players, there are a few non-javier COs who really benefit from comm towers. see if you can figure out which ones.

Drake makes it more likely to rain, but Olaf doesn't make it more likely to snow. At least in AWBW.

There's a "snowbringer" CO ability in the code of AW2 to go along with Drake's "rainbringer" ability, but it went unused. Seems like it might have been planned that way at some point, but I guess with his powers bringing snow, him causing more snow randomly as well was considered redundant.

Drake's SCOP causes rain, but his COP doesn't. Meanwhile, Olaf's COP literally just causes snow. So yeah, it probably was a case where bringing in more snow would have made his COP even more underpowered.
