Weathers
In Advance Wars 2, there are three weather possibilities: rain, snow and clear. Most of the time it will be clear, but certain effects happen when the other two come:
RAIN: Vision of all units is reduced by 1 (minimum of 1). Movement cost for tread and tire type increases by 1 in woods and plains. Drake and Sturm are immune to the movement penalty. For Olaf, movement penalties in rain is the same as what the other COs would have in snow.
SNOW: Movement cost for tread and tire type increases by 1 in plains. Increases by 1 for all air units, everywhere. Increases by 1 for ships in ports and sea tiles. For Infantries, increases by 2 in mountains and by 1 in woods and plains. Olaf is immune to all movement penalties of snow.
SCORE CALCULATION FOR ADVANCE WARS 2
In Advance Wars 2, you will be given rankings according to the points you've earn throughout your performance in mission. These rankings will effect you in purchasing or unlock CO in war room. There are 3 parts:
Speed:
Like Advance Wars 1, certain missions needs you to complete in certain amount of times to achieve secret missions. In advance Wars 2, instead of secret missions, your will be given points. Calculations? Easy, Complete the missions as fast as you can, the more days you spent, the more points will deduct. Each level have their dead line, (usually around 20 days, harder level will have more time, around 30 days).
Power:
This one, this stat will always the be one that pull down you ranking, believe me. You will need to vanish (yes, not only damage, but destroy opponent, in other word, wipe it out from map) as many opponent's troops as you can in 1 round, here is the formula (i get this info online, the formula accurate or not, i'm not sure, but it works for me). --Maximum # of enemies destroyed in 1 Day * 1000 / Total # of enemies built
Technique:
How many troops you have expended, or destroyed by opponent. Try not to let your troops destroy by combine them, this will save you lots of technique points.
