Lin overall had the best lines in the game. Gage had the best theme though - easily.
Hey Stuffman, how familiar with AW are you? I didn't expect someone here to talk about infantry spam, let alone unit variety.

gage? is that the guy with a co power that boosted airplane defense by 5 stars or whatever? I thought he had the worst.
my fave co music themes were:
The OFFENSIVE airplane co lady (I really like metal with an egyptian twist.. no I do not like the band nile).
the grit sniper wannabe co whose only saving grace (other than good music), was that his bonus affected navel as well as indirect units.
I rather like tabitha's theme too.. I think her name is that. The caulder-like co who isn't as blatently op as caulder and has absolutely no co zone at level 1.
?q:
Gage was the second one you mentioned, the one with good music. You're thinking of Waylon.
Tabitha's theme was pretty decent too.
The COs in this game weren't very well-balanced at all IMO...

I played AW competitively for a few years and did okay in some tournaments. I know the game very well.

That's actually pretty cool. How long ago was this?
Stuffman:
It's been about two years or so since I played seriously I think? I learned the game by playing it at AWBW, though I haven't been there in quite a while. The AW2 metagame got a bit boring for me. If they had something like it for DoR I'd be all over it.
That said I wasn't that serious a player. I mained Jess even though she was in her AW2 mode which was underpowered, so I didn't win often. You pick up a lot of information about the game by listening to people talk on the forums though. I know a lot of arcane stuff about the damage formula and whatnot too.
If I made an AW clone I'm confident I could make it thoroughly balanced, and I've thought about doing it a couple times, but I've got other stuff on my plate.
I'm interested in seeing what kind of AW game gets made next; I don't think they can continue the current setting since a lot of the COs die in DoR :D
