Editing Advance Wars (section)

==Factions==

=== GBA ===

The designs and COs various factions are all influenced by the four most important powers in World War 2 - or, at least, by stereotypes and cutesy re-imaginings of the 4 main powers, with less genocide and war crimes.

* Orange Star (Red Star in the Japanese version) is the USA
* Blue Moon is the USSR (You don't know how lucky you are, boy)
* Green Earth is Nazi Germany
* Yellow Comet is Imperial Japan
* Black Hole isn't based off any singular world power, but goes for a much more "alien" look, with their soldiers all being clad in space-suits and their vehicles mostly being [[METAL BOXES|Blocky, angular things]]

Also, there are [[xenos|aliens]] or something, but fuck those guys.

If you want to think in terms of Warhammer 40k, you can think along those lines:

* Orange Star are [[Space Marines]] as they are overall most average in power and style.
* Blue Moon is the [[Imperial Guard]] as they love their artillery and cheap unit spam.
* Green Earth are [[Eldar]], because they are all specialized towards a certain unit type and also tend to be [[Eldrad|dicks]] about everything.
* Yellow Comet are [[Tau|Communist Weeaboos]] for obvious reasons.
* Black Hole is [[Chaos]], especially since in the first game they were a reskin of Orange Star, and therefore were [[Chaos Space Marines]]. They have a lot of random-effect powers and specialized crazy shit.

...You should also stop calling your cat "Xeno Scum".

=== Days of Ruin ===

* Rubinelle 12th Battalion: The post apocalyptic remains of the army of the country of Rubinelle, it was formerly affiliated with the New Rubinelle Army. Essentially the counterpart to Orange Star right down to the red color scheme.
* Lazurian Army: The army of Rubinelle's rival nation of Lazuria. Like Blue Moon, their color is blue and they act as the initial antagonist before the true antagonist is revealed.
* New Rubinelle Army: The fascist government that rules post apocalyptic Rubinelle. Its color is yellow, though its lacks any real similarities to Yellow Comet.
* Intelligent Defense Systems: Private military contractor organizations that sells weapons of mass destruction. With their black palette and position as the true enemy, they could be loosely compared to Black Hole.
