Official CO List (Sargon Second Pass)
- Advance Wars is the type of game that should be playable within the span of a typical lunch break at work.
- In online multiplayer, AW4 enforced a 20-turn limit. Which, as it happens, takes about 20-30 minutes to play, e.g. the span of a typical lunch break.
- AW4 mechanics, such as damage table, damage formula, weather, etc. are in play unless otherwise stated.
- All units from all four games are in play.
- If a unit exists in both AW3 and AW4, the AW4 version is used.
- All terrain and properties from all four games are in play.
- If a terrain/property exists in AW3 and AW4, the AW3 version is used.
- New Mechanics will be kept to a minimum.
- COs can have drastically different abilities from their original versions.
-
D2D: +10% offensive luck (all units)
-
COZ: Default Boost (+10/+10)
-
COP: Default Boost (+10/+10)
-
SCOP: Default Boost (+10/+10)
-
CO Swap: Switches the active CO with the secondary CO.
-
Tag Break (TB): Activates active super CO power first, then swaps COs and activates secondary COs super power
-
CO Power: Catch-all term for COP, SCOP, and TB.
- These apply to all owned units unless otherwise specified.
-
Zone Bar: Consists of twelve squares, which are each filled by dealing 5HP damage from within COZ. Charging 6 squares widens COZ by 1 tile in all directions, and charging 12 squares widens COZ by an additional tile in all directions.
-
Zone Pop: When the zone bar is full, the CO unit can take a special "pop" action. Popping the COZ sends your CO back to HQ, and COZ covers the map for the remainder of the turn. All normal CO HQ mechanics are enabled. Former CO unit remains at veteran rank. If the COZ has a 1-time effect at the beginning of the turn (such as repairs) it applies again upon popping.
-
Tag Team: The term for using two COs instead of one.
-
Synergy: A unique bonus the other CO receives immediately after switching, or during TB, typically related to D2D.
-
CO HQ: The CO is in HQ by default. D2D is enabled.
-
CO Unit: Cost 0.5x unit cost to load CO Unit, must load on allied property. D2D buff is disabled; negative effects remain. Zone bar is enabled. If CO Unit is destroyed, you use a CO Power, or switch COs, the zone bar is set to zero, and CO HQ resumes. The former CO Unit loses all levels, if applicable.
- In a Tag Team, one CO can be in a unit while the other stays at HQ, allowing their COZ to stack with the other CO's D2D and CO Powers. The deployed CO's D2D weakness remains, so pick your team carefully!
