Wanted to try something new and put it all into one video, with chapters for every level and the order I played it, all 300 aside from Olaf's Navy/Copter Tactics routs. Might not do that again since exporting and uploading it was a nightmare, or maybe in smaller 2 hour or less chunks.
Overall, there are some major and minor changes here and there for the AI. The AI seems to respect fog of war now, and they'll know where you submerged your subs or hid your ships in reefs. They will actively try to hunt them down now instead of afking if they can't see them, and will often run into your units in the fog of war. Made a few levels a bit more difficult like the Olaf's Navy rout for Olaf's Sea Strike, and others, a lot easier like all the fog of war grit levels (those indirects were terrors in the original). They still seemed to prioritize APCs a lot in this campaign, but had more respect for capturing infantry like they do in the original AW2. Sonja's AI seems to get an extra view distance on top of her Day to Day passive, which I was investigating during Sami Marches On. This is probably to make her stand out more on fog of war maps as an opponent, and her bad luck bonus is only up to 15% less instead of 20%. Idk why this was kept at all, it's awful.
The levels seem to be the same for the most part, but you actually get to use Nell in the campaign with her COP instead of no COP in Field Training, which was greatly shortened. It's an incredibly nice change that you can simply go back and play every level again that you missed instead of having to redo the entire campaign, and you also get to choose your COs in The Final Battle instead of having to play the campaign a certain way.
And my favorite part: fast forward button. Whoever came up with this idea and got it implemented, you are my hero. Still not as fast as 2x or more speed on an emulator, but what an amazing QoL change. Nintendo/WayForward, give this person/team a raise! It's slightly marred by the fact you have to hold to skip dialogue with start. A good casual change for missclicks, but annoying if you're trying to get through dialogue quickly.
My main criticisms would be: why the heck did they take out being able to see the HP of your units inside transports, why did they take the save function out in favor of a reset turn(which really isn't that practical and only useful for first timing fog of war maps), and why didn't they differentiate the GE missile/rockets a bit more, or black hole's recons/tanks/md tanks(they're all floaty blocks)?
Overall, a decent remake of the originals. Maybe a bit overpriced for two 20+ year old games, but still a fun time so far. I think $40 would've been a more than fair asking point.
Lastly: I know one of the main questions is going to be scoring and it doesn't seem to have changed from the originals so here you go:
Speed: Win within the map's time limit for a 100(I don't know yet if the Advance AW1 Campaign is still impossible to max score).
Power: You must destroy, not damage, 10% or more of the units the enemy has(you can check under status) by THE END OF THE LEVEL in a single turn. If they've deployed 50 by the end, that means 5 in any single turn.
Technique: Lose less than 20% of your total units by the end (10% in war room, I'm assuming, like the originals), so if you've deployed 45 units total like I did in The Final Battle, you can lose up to 9 in the campaign, or 4 in the war room for a 100. Combining doesn't count as a loss!
