Description
(Disclaimer: I'm still working on 40K stuff, just wanted to take a bit of a break from balance testing and try a different release)

I was a huge fan of Advance Wars growing up, and figured I'd bring them into Hero's Hour! Considering how the reboot was delayed they are that much more missed!

Mod features
9 units (no elite variants to stick with lore)
6 heroes (skills are loreful)
1 neutral unit
unique background and building sprites

T1: Infantry: Machine guns melt their opposition especially in large numbers
T2: Mech Infantry: Long range and with an emphasis on critical strikes with mild protection
T2: Recon: Rush unit that is surprisingly lethal, look out!
T3: Battle Tank: Mobile tanky unit that packs a decent punch
T3: Artillery: Paper thin defenses but harrowing scatter damage and range
T4: Battle Copter: Highly mobile with deadly repeating guns
T5: Medium Tank: Very tanky unit with highly effective cannon
T5: Rockets: Supremely long ranged unit with lethal damage, get up close!
T6: Bomber: Ultimate unit that gets in close range to drop fiery bombs!

NU: Stealth Bomber: Additional unit that acts similar to the Bomber, with higher evasiveness

These units are balanced amongst themselves and to an extent vanilla; I worked pretty hard on trying to balance them in line with the Advanced Wars games, but there might still be some fine-tuning that could help to reflect that. Let me know your thoughts in the comments and I hope you like it!

NOTE: The attack sprites are done by myself, but otherwise the other sprites are all courtesy of the original game. So special thanks to Intelligent Systems and Nintendo for their hard efforts in making such a franchise; I hope the reboot performs well too! (I wish my movement animations for infantry were that good!)

Also wish more people got to experience the AW games, they're an absolute gem

Just gotta say thank you so much for porting these over. I feel like Lore-wise it kind of breaks my immersion, but I'm super stoked to see these <3!

Personally i'd ask for a different color version of them, but i guess it's too much work. Still, this alone is great
