I still haven't played two...
Jake was a pain in the ass but the message in that one was less moral and more environmental I felt...which was fine considering the environmental crisis that is currently going on (or at least seems to be).
And I've not quite finished AW:DC yet (I'm close! Stage 24) but I can safely say the message seems to be about hope and life and how you must never give up and always percevere....yea it gets a little old but the characters have a lot more depth to them than before and you deal with some really evil mofo's in that game so it redeems itself and you don't mind the constant moral preaching

Well, BizarrOle, the first two games didn't really focus on anything morally orientated ... The pathos and moral stuff started with AWDS, the third installment. And I found it really annoying in AWDS - AND in AWDC. Although Jake was way more annoying than Ed/Will.
Hu, is that even possible? They should've just done it like the GBA original -explain the basics and drop you into combat (I did play the beginning chapters of this one). Scrolling dialogue pages can be really tiresome in a game like this. Admittedly, at its best the story works really well as a motivator - wanting to know what happens next can be the push I need to continue playing. I admit to being pretty interested in what would happen to Carter/Forsythe when I stormed his HQ. More of those cliffhangers, and cut the bullshit
Herr Blondie, I think I'm about the same stage as you. Pretty hard game I think, so I often put it away for months. I bought the game in January

Really, you thought it was annoying? What kind of immoral little wench are you? Kidding! I actually thought, though, that AWDC had a rather good story, the best of the four games. I do think AWDS's story was kind of cheesy, though. I thought the morality in AWDC was especially effective because of the circumstances. The world is gone, it could be every man for himself like Waylon (Finn) lives his life, but Brenner (O'Brien) still has the conviction to live like a good human being...

I did that in AW1. I got stuck on The Final Battle and didn't play for months. Then I took it back out and finally beat it. Andy lost... I don't even remember how many mechs. Poor sods.

Oh, and when building units - build a long-range unit for every third "normal" unit. I prefer the Anti-Tank, which is something in between. Long-range units are great. Since I started to conesquently build lots of those, the levels have gotten easier!
Ni kan klare det
(beklager dårlig svensk)I'm at stage 25 now, and my mind is still at the "What the fuck"-reaction. But I'm gonna dvelve into this one too during the weekend :)

I know all that. Unfortunately, I'm not very patient when it comes to games. In fact, this kind of games aren't my type at all. Then why the f**k am I playing it, you may ask? I don't know!! I love it and hate it at the very same time!
I think I've got problems...

That is, unless they are able to get around and attack your indirect. Doesn't matter what you use to block your indirect from attack--infantry are just as good as tanks, in many cases. Tanks have more offensive firepower and can withstand machine gun fire, but infantry are a good, cheap meatshield. The main purpose of infantry besides capturing is basically being the meatshield. Use your rigs to get infantry and mechs (bazookas) to the front, or just build bike units, if there are enough roads.
Building indirects has always been a helpful tactic, but to me, it seemed to be more effective in AWDC's campaign than in any other game in the series. The game's AI just really fears indirects, it seems.
In AW1, the AI would always attack your APCs (rigs before they had the power to build) before anything else, which is kind of funny :P In AWDC they want to avoid your indirects. Seems there's always a way to get the AI to act in your favor.
Oh, and Stolos builds the free units from his own factory. He runs the place. He doesn't need to pay a dime :P I agree that the final mission was the hardest and that it was, in general, much harder than the average mission from the game.

I'm a little disgusted that he uses clones for all his soldiers though and probably uses automated systems in all his vehicles urgh stupid Stolos.
