Building Battleships as EAGLE??? 

"CONGRATULATIONS YOUR BATTLESHIP HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED" (Eagle suddenly gains weight and an admiral cap)

Mangs intro for the match : "Did you guys know that you can acces DoR style battleships on AWBY ?" Proceeds to show a match where no battleship moves from a port :D Amazing match, as always!

Forward ports that an attacking player can use for a battleship turret are a very handy tool for mapmakers who want to prevent players from stalling on a weak flank. Some of y'all might want to keep that in mind if you're making a map for the contest!

The RA2 music gave me nostalgia, esp. with the low graphic strategy game playing. Its RA2 but turn based lol

By my count, that Battleship cost Eagle over $70k+ over this game. He could have gotten a LOT of Battle Copters, Tanks, and a Bomber or two for that price.

20% of a B.Ship is 5600 G. That's more than 25% of Kantbei's income each time a SCOP or copter hits it. To compensate the ship would need to destroy an entire arty each turn.

Been binging your videos lately as I recently got back into AW2, which was a childhood fave for me, and I just love the description of units harassing other units 🤣 idk why it just makes me chuckle And Eagle just being absolutely broken with the double turn has always been one of my favorite thigns

Take a shot every time Mangs says "maneuver."

Weird stuff like this usually only happens in Rivendell

I like how Deejus has confused all of us into calling anti air artillery

Love long replays great for passing time!

Since I am studying higher level games (both are at least 1200s, so they are learning advanced level play) and this is a new one, here's my point analysis: Part 1 (to 28:00) 1:12 Kantbei maintains alts based on the mode he plays. Kantbae is his standard-focused alt, but I like your interpretation better. 1:38 Wacky openings is probably why many don't like this map. A lot of variations, but only a few that reliably work, and you need to know why. Not as intuitive as some other maps like Celeste. 2:25 A 5k investment in a transport can sometimes OK, but it is the subsequent use of the T Copter that is questionable on this map. This map is not large, your infantry will take 3 turns to reached the comm tower and other contested areas, so a T Copter is not exactly value adding. It is also standard so your foe can see it and punish it too. Labs are just there to give terrain bonuses. You can plonk an arty there (esp as Lash) to hold the line or just defend a capping infantry on the mountain property. Could be countered against a B Copter, but if you use it to lure, you can get some good plays. 5:22 Sacrifice plays are something I have been looking into. Risky though so you must be certain it will work. As far as I know, it is only with Eagle that you want to consider this as a first possibility? With other COs, ehhh, you might face issues. 9:43 I remember Kantbei telling me as much about the city skip when I was reviewing my game on this map. I need to pull up that comment again and assess, something about funding curves or contested properties in this case. I think it works here based on planning. 10:59 Keen to see how artillery is planned for and used here. 13:24 Recommend this too. It also complicates move plannering. 21:10 It looks wack, but both players are at the level where some level of personal experimentation is not only permissive, it is also required. 24:15 "Battle Shipters"

I thought Eagle had it in the bag, but damn those were some brutal Winter Furies that won it

Glad to see a game finally utilizing Battleshipters

I have to say this was an amazing game to watch. Really interesting and cool and unorthodox plays

C&C music is *chef kiss*

Honestly Kantbei's battleship hurt him more than it helped him. Since all it really did was push Monty back into a more defensive position that he was eventually going to do and force him to build infantry at that base every turn. Why also costing him 5600 every time a bcop attacked it or a winter fury went off. While Monty's battleship made Kantbei waste multiple units turn to take it down.

I find the idea that Eagle stole Drake's hat to make a joke hilarious.

"Battleshiper" A flying battleship, 380000 funds, move: 6 blocks, attack range: 2 - 5

I love how even when its bae insted of bei he still says bye. I almost didn't even notice the player's play on words with kantbae vs kanbei if it weren't for Mangs' iron will with his gimmick.

The music threw me off so much, for a second i thought i was watching a C&C youtuber in the background lol

Absolutely insane, and magnificently played game on both sides. Craziness, loved it.

Almost every one of your videos you'll explain how effective repairs are but begin with "Normally repairs are bad but--". I like how you're finally just admitting that repairs are worth it :D

So, the double winter fury hurt Eagle significantly. If you look at the unit value, Olaf had about 40% more value for several turns there. As such, Kantbae was pushing the envelope as much as possible, using lightning strike to threaten his opponent without actually using it, in the hopes that he would be able to turn things around when he eventually would use it. At this point, this was his last lightning strike anyway, so he needed to get as many units built as possible before using it. Unfortunately for him, he underestimated Olaf's ability to get Winter Fury that last turn (perhaps because of the battle copter sacking?), and that was the end.

Great game. Think kantbae was looking to cap the hq, Using lightning strike to take out anything near the hq and using the overwhelming amount of infantry in the middle to block.

wow an hour long video of a great match just to watch Kant just throw in the end. Very cool xD.

I don't know why, but Mangs consistently going "Om nom nom nom nom nom nom" makes me chuckle every damn time its basically my new favorite way of describing kills when playing either AWBW or my own Tabletop games like Horus Heresy or something lol

Thanks for casting this game. This was an epic watch.

The naval changes, especially to battleships, is why i love days of ruin.

Saw the title, saw the players, and my immediate reaction was "kantbei you asshole"

Totally love the Red Alert 2 soundtrack in the background.

What a treat mangs, this was so much fun to watch!

Watching you say 'omg he built another battleship' in .25 speed was wonderful.

Man Red Alert 2 music is such a banger

The title has me timbers, shivered

I love Michigan Maneuver actually. I’ve had lots of whacky matches there 😊

as soon as i saw this title i yelled "HELLO? BASED DEPARTMENT?"

3 Eagle B Copters attacking your Battleship. Can’t have shit in Detroit.

It is really interesting how you can see that each player's armies become exhausted over time. At a point, they get close to 150k, but that nearly halves after the big push

Glorious music choice as always

16:18 But Mangs, if the game ends due to turn count, the lab counts as a captured property. The player with the most captured properties would win.

Drake: I am great with battleships Eagle: I’m about to end this man’s whole career

55:14 I think the reason Kantbae didn't pop Winter Fury was because he was playing Eagle...

34:55 DAMN, they ran like mice! Even the battle copters! XD Battleship: Whussup? Monty's east forces: AH! WTF?!

I know that most players in this game would rather die in real life by setting themselfs on fire than build a missile, but i think that in this case it would be a good value. Kantbae already had a battleship so why not? Put a missle behind it and let it cover the area from helicopters so the ship can move into the sea and push the enemy back, instead of just shooting infantry and being repaired constantly.

39:55 The reason Kantbae joined is to create a wall because if that 3hp inf died there will be complicaiton maybe the anti-air will reach the copter

the CC music makes this 163% better ^^ hmm..i'd also wonder if the player base hate this map more..or lees..if you replaced the lab..with a harbour

Yooooooo! Red Alert 2 BGM

I love these videos!!!

red alert 2 in the intro? classic

Praise to he who decided the soundtrack for this video should be pulled from the greatest RTS game of all time, Red Alert 2.😍

33:16 the moment we have all been waiting for.

Eagle's Naval commander design be looking sick B )

I wasn't expecting to like this match so much! I couldn't tell who'd win right until the last couple of turns! I could swear the battleships that Monty built were massive blunders that would cost him the match. I couldn't believe my eyes when the power pressure suddenly changed from one player to the other.

I wanna see a Dual Strike Eagle in a competitive match~ (if it can be allowed, just out of curiosity lol)

guys imagine live advance wars tournaments irl with commentators

Even if it's two hours, I would still sit down to watch XD

Just wait till they start deploying carriers!

Battleshifters, the famous action cartoon series from the 80's.

As a Michigander I'm happy to see we get a map named after us! Is there any sort of story behind the name that you're aware of?

Well played from monty

Oh baby, a triple!

🥚

Love the Red Alert 2 theme, my dude!

We need fanart of the legendary Battleshipter, stat!

Eagle & his battleshifters!

24:15 "Battle Shipters"

I know that background music is from command and conquer but I can't pinpoint which one it is

C&C music very appropriate for high level global league. Love it here

I stomped Eagle in frostleaf as olaf because of that he got lightning strike before my winter fury.he popped it straight away bcz if he Didn't next turn I would use my scop.that lightning strike did nothing

I didn't expect to hear C&C music here

Amazing! Never saw Olaf winning!

At around 40 minutes, I think he joined the infantry because he had an empty base and not enough to build an infantry. What you're saying about joining not being bad against Olaf is true, but I think it's also even better because it allowed him to get out an extra full health unit and not skip building anything from the base.

Loe Red Alert BGM you use are absolute bangger!!!!

Well Battleships should have rooms for eagles to make their home.

Being from Detroit, Michigan, I approve of this strategy and can definitely say Kantbei might be from Michigan due to how Michigan this strategy is.

BATTLESHIPTERS!

i see mangs is a fan of red alert 2 music.

Here's an idea for a future series: Path of Radiance canonical level run: Every single character must finish the game at the level which they start it in Radiant Dawn. So for example Jill starts at level 8 in PoR and at 14 in Radiant Dawn. So you're only allowed to use her for those 6 levels. Rolf, meanwhile starts PoR at level 1, and Radiant Dawn at promoted level 1. So you can only use him until he's promoted, then leave him at level 1. Bonus points for making it an Ironman

An Olaf game? YES PLEASE! :D

I’ve noticed in other videos you like starcraft musics. So Shall we call you Emperor Arcturus Mangsk ?

I think kantbae joined units together on that snow turn so he could afford to buy infantry, because he was very broke at the start of the turn.

RA2 Music??? *rock on*

Overal Kantbae I think lost because he had too many Infanty (i know controversal statment) but considering the attacking units Monty had usually pairs of Anti-air Tank and occasional Arty. compared to 5 infantry and 1 tank. He wasnt matching his opponents power at all. The battle copters sure could have swung the battle but Monty was countering perfectly with Anti airs that serve'd two purposes. Ward away B-copters and ward away the amas of infantry. I think if Kantbae instead of a battleship got a bomber we would have had a much closer match if not a potential winning move. And yes Olaf would have countered with a fighter eventually. But if he had matched tank for tank and anti-air for anti-air that Blue moon fighter would have had a tough go of getting to the bomber. The biggest thing that probably lost him the match was indeed the meme battleship. Tho it was a good move in theory it only acted as a super ranged arty in power. Every 2HP drain cost him almost 6K every turn in additon to the few turns Blue had that property in the bottom left captured. Btw mangz 20% done easy. move the decimal x2. 28000 goes to 2800 (10%), and then x2 its basicallly 3000X2. So 6000 - 400. so..yeah thats 5600 funds being drained every turn. That b-copter harrassment even if it got shot down right after, almost earned itself in!

Oh nonononono pepelaugh

Eagle Battleship spoiler? More like the *_BEST_* hook to get me to watch the whole thing!

I wonder if it's possible for the web to make battle ship and carriers works like in Day of ruin

"I expect this video to be a 1 plus hour"

Part 2 (to end) 33:21 Here it is! 36:08 Smart move. It looks passive, but it covers the key areas and then asserts the attack. 40:41 AGAIN 46:28 Kantbei's 2b is looking very weak. 47:14 Funds damage from repairs can ruin build plans significantly. 48:05 It's not just that the power is too far off, his machine units are also not strong enough to make decisive kills too, which really impacts LS's effectiveness. All the funds damage (5.6k per turn off 18k, which basically goes from 1 tank 1 bcopter 2 infantry to just... well, 1 b copter 2 infantry with change, less impressive) on the battleship will deny him vehicles that could have channelled into a LS push. 49:52 ANOTHER ONE 51:17 I would say Kantbei can have reasonable confidence in his play here. Literally 3-1 advantage. 51:43 Nah, there is a shoal there that allows for free vehicle movement. I think he wants to preserve AA in view of the 2 tanks. If it is regarding the SW property, I don't think anything threatens it, so nothing to reinforce there... 52:47 Which failed. 53:09 That B Copter is a very strategic one. It may not win any tactical engagements, but wars are won by moves like this in coordination with others, especially on a map like Michigan Manouevre. 54:22 Understandable. He has few funds to build more units, and while infantry is useful, this composition is very infantry heavy, which does not favour Lightning strike and is countered hard by almost all unit types.

I've been trying to get into Advance Wars By Web thanks to you Mangs, but I find myself struggling. I feel like I am not learning anything and I'm getting destroyed seemingly every game. It's quite disheartening and I'm starting to lose some of the desire to play...but watching you upload stuff like this makes me think it could still work out.

They're called ports.

BATTLE SHITTERS XD

Up!

WHERE IS THE HALLÓ the video is just not the same without it

Battleshipters!

Definitely one of the better maps on global league

eagle is so overpowered omg

Mangs after watching too many Deejus videos 38:48

"lets watch that again" how about no, just keep goin 3:

A really great game, but that was a very dissapointing ending
