Short Description: Fire Emblem Wars is a full scale Advance Wars 2 rom hack which re-imagines Fire Emblem units as Advance Wars units and Fire Emblem characters as Advance Wars Commanding Officers.

Happy 20th anniversary of Advance Wars’ US release! Fire Emblem Wars is a full scale Advance Wars 2 rom hack which re-imagines Fire Emblem units as Advance Wars units and Fire Emblem characters as Advance Wars Commanding Officers. The rom hack was created in 7 months by a single person, Kartal, me.

Notes
Always check Intel -> Terms for War Room map-specific rules!
War Room turns flashing spring green when all maps are beaten
Design Room turns flashing spring green when all Color Edits are bought from Wars Shop

Also included
Damage and movement cost charts
My fully organized hacking notes
Mappy maps
Graphic edits as image files
The PDN files were created with Paint.NET v3.5.5. Newer versions, last time I checked, are unable to open them.

Missing features
Capture and battle animations

Known bugs
Heroes can’t target Snags
Kept as a nerf

Red Dragons “sink” at the beginning of turn when at 0 energy (“fuel”)
Don’t know how to fix this

Animations are not forced off during Player 2-4’s turns
The event only activates for Player 1. Can’t fix.

The War Room shows part of the minimap within the text window when a large map (such as South Cape) is selected Implemented badly by Intelligent Systems
Exit and re-enter to fix this

Final War Room map: the damage display for units on the castle gate tiles shows a greater number than the actual damage
