Hello everyone! I am reworking the Battalion Series to be playable on Steam and to support Map Editor. And a bunch of other things because players can have their own input. If you wanna know more, join https://discord.gg/euEJmFmAVW

For anyone trying to do level 9 on hard mode: I managed to win by only making battlecruisers and submarines. Use your infantry to capture as many structures as possible, while covering with your other units. Only build battlecruisers at first. All you land troops will eventually die, but it does not matter. Once the AI starts build a lot of boats, start making some submarines to defend your battlecruisers. Once you have the enemy under control, start moving up the map.

This game desperately needs an "undo move" function. Making a bad move because of a misclick, failed to unselect after checking a unit's range or because of the map auto moving when you put the cursor near the edge is devastating when you always are outnumbered. I feel cheated as if someone moved the chess board just at the moment i'm about to put a piece down and I ended up putting it in the next square to the one I was aiming...

The hard mode is very challenging, with stage 9 being hardest. For the last two stages going straight for enemy command center is easier. You can manipulate AI's advance route with road blocks and commandos on structure and thus avoid most enemy in stage 9. For stage 10 it is very important you block the right factory near enemy headquarter with submarine.

To quickly win the bonus map going the Sea route holds the easiest prospects. If you want a challenge going by land is near suicide.

The problem with the AI is that it doesn't spend money to make more troops. My tanks were completely destroyed by the stealth tanks, but my ships won the battle in the sea. After that, the enemy troops did nothing, they didin't use their money to make ships or capture my buildings. Fortunately, it happened just in one level of the game, but I love it anyway. (Sorry if something is wrong, English is not my primary language).

I fell in love with this game and Battalion Arena. There was a guy working on making a substitute and it was supposed to be out already but I think he stopped because his forum for the new game is down and I cannot locate anything about the new game.

This is a really fun game up until Chapter 9 where it stops being fun and just becomes an uphill grind where you're punished for playing.
I'mn entirely sure that its beatable, but I play games for fun not because I enjoy beating my head against a wall.

Campaign completed – This can technically be done on any difficulty setting, but you're lame if you do it on "easy." Oh :(

At last! I completed whole campaign on hard! I encountered Battalion series in 2010 starting from Ghost and completed all campaings on hard except of this one. First difficulties I have encountered on 8 mission when after enemy captured air control he went mass condors,which you basically cannot counter without air units and that "delay" at end of each turn.
I remember somehow beating level 8,but didn`t try much on level 9. That "delay" made game so painful. Now in 2018 computing power went up and it isn`t as noticeable as in 2010,but you can notice that in the late game AI has tons of money and is not making units. I guess that developers during playtesting were tired and decided "Ok If somebody can survive to this point let him win. He has enough patience and has some strategy skill". I decided to try once more and beated 8 level without much toruble. I struggled a bit in 9 level,but after reading some comments I defeated it easily. Then few tries later completed level 10.

los números para la dificultad son: Fácil: Todos los enemigos hacen el 75 % de daño normal. Normal: Todos los enemigos hacen el 100 % de daño normal. Con fuerza: Todos los enemigos hacen el 125 % de daño normal. Ningún efecto sobre cuanto los enemigos de daño toman, por lo que puedo ver.

Why, why did I insist on doing the last 2 levels on hard... the last level became never - ending fly swatting, each of us spawning 2-3 planes each round. The AI REALLY does not want to go down easy on that one.

I can never resume a level after I save! It's better if you play it whole and not save because then you have to start all over again.

hidden mission references tho. that's worthy of my respect. (and it's a lot easier if you actually fall back and heal)

@Slimoo Sadly, there won't be any more. I heard the company that made this got bought and it doesn't look like the current company cares to make any more currently.

I won the first bootcamp mission by destroying their base and somehow unlocked a secret mission where you control 4 spartans from halo but can't work out what you need to do to get it again.

Not a fun game for people who don't like combat games. Why does Kong INSIST on CONSTANTLY using these kinds of games for the BOTD? These Games and Zombie Games sadly are a recurring theme.

Start with producing many soldiers with bazooka and assault riffle, let them fly to their destination. By flying you can move them fast. Use heavy artillery from the navy to destroy the canons and heavy equipment from a large distance. When a soldier is hit take care that a new soldier can take over his place to get the facility in your possession.
It take some time but it's a game!
