Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is the second Nintendo DS game in the Wars series. It features a much darker storyline, completely disconnected from the prior lighthearted entries, set in a post-apocalyptic world. The character designs this time was provided by Hiroaki of King of Fighters fame.

The Japanese version was shelved numerous times due to various circumstances, despite the fact that it was not only already finished, but was even contained within the code of the American and European versions. It was eventually given an official release as a downloadable DSiware game, less than 6 months before the death of its online functionality.

Alternate C15 Ending

Completing "Icy Retreat" or "Escape on Ice" while Brenner/O'Brian's tank is still alive gives additional dialogue from him during the ending. It is unlikely this is possible in normal gameplay.

Unused Music

Some unused music can be found nested in the game's SDAT. Some of it includes midi renditions of what are played as wave streams (.strm) in the final release, while others are just not played in the game.

BGM_RESULT1

Appears to be a victory track. Replaced by a different one of the streaming audio tracks.

BGM_HAPPY2

A remix of the song "For the Sake of Omega Land" from Advance Wars: Dual Strike, not used anywhere in the game.

BGM_SADLV2

An unused track that appears to be two tracks stitched together.

BGM_GMAP4

A MIDI rendition of the streaming track "Final Reckoning" in the game.

BGM_TITLECALL1 to BGM_TITLECALL4

MIDI renditions of all of the Mission Intro music that is never played, due to the tracks existing as streams in-game.

Unused Graphics

Japanese/European Title Screens

To do:
Proper way to make the Japanese logo appear.

The US ROM contains two leftover title screens: the final European version, and the then-unreleased Japanese version. In the 2013 DSiWare release, its outline was darkened.

US ROM DSiWare

Test Graphic

The US and EU ROMs also contains a test graphic located in the /ending/ folder as a single graphic "test.cg". The graphic says "title" in hiragana.

Unused Aircraft Carrier

Found in "bmap_fs/taiki3d.tex", graphics for a smaller aircraft carrier with a seaplane on it can be found. This might've been an older version of the aircraft carrier with specific graphics for when carrying a seaplane. The full graphics for the unit can be found in "mu/ship_k", while the used is in "mu/ship_s".

Unused Used

Unused Weapon

The graphic for the list of weapons lists an "AA Artl" weapon, "Anti-Air Artl." in the Dark Conflict version. No unit uses this weapon, the closest being the Missiles unit, which uses "Anti-Air Msl". Though since it's a shortened name of Anti-Air Artillery, it's most likely it might be the Anti-Air Artillery from Super Famicom Wars since it matches the name and most likely acted mostly the same since in Super Famicom Wars, it's basically an artillery version of the Missiles.

Unused Terrain Name

Both English versions list an unused "Plsm. trace" terrain name. This was likely meant for land tiles where plasma once was but got removed. These tiles instead use the "Plain" name, albeit with unique graphics for the tile.

Unused Tile

Tile ID 01C0 is a tile for a neutral HQ. Capturing it allows the player to have an additional HQ, after this, it acts as a normal HQ.

Debug Options

Found in "bmap_fs/e_menu00/e_mapmenu_lose_l" and "bmap_fs/e_menu00/e_mapmenu_win_l" are debug options which say "Debug [Lose!]" and "Debug [Win!]". Duplicates can be found in e_menu01.

Unused Text

In mission 13, Greyfield Strikes/Rearguard Action, Greyfield/Sigismundo will give orders for the unit you have the most of to be disabled the next day. Text exists for this regarding all units, however, as the war tank/mega tank cannot be produced until mission 16, the text for these units goes unused.

Days of Ruin Dark Conflict

Report on the units in Brenner's group. Where does their strength lie? War Tanks? Understood. Ensure you relay my orders tomorrow!
All war tanks, halt! Don't move an inch without my leave!

Report on the units in O'Brian's Legion. In which units does their strength lie? Mega Tank units? Understood. Ensure you relay my orders tomorrow...
Mega Tank units remain stationary! Don't move an inch without my say so!

Unused Japanese Mode

The American and European versions of the game contain the complete Japanese version, later used in the 2013 DSiWare release, that is functional but dummied out in the game files. The Japanese script most closely resembles the English script of the European version.

The functionality can be restored by turning your Firmware Language to Japanese and changing the byte of the US ROM at 0xE720F from 05 to E5. While changing this byte does not enable the Japanese title screen, it has an additional effect of restoring German and Italian to the European version's behavior.

Unused Maps

This map appears in the filesystem, but is unreferenced anywhere else by the game. It is a versus or Trial style map.

hori2.map

This is a map from the previous games called "Switchback".

Map + Pre-Deploy

TR35.map

This map also appears to be an unfinished pre-deployed Trial map.

Map + Pre-Deploy

yasuhara04.map

This map appears to be a Versus map of some variety.

To do:
Transfer all the tables. Add the WIP revision unit lists as well.

Every map with predeployed units has a unit list associated with it that is called on map load or by the in-game scripting engine. Some of these are unused in the filesystem and never loaded.

dispos/Beached

Looks like a beach head defence map, with a large number of indirects and meatwalls to deal with Player 2's many landers, mechs and tanks. Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.

dispos/BHD

Appears to be a map about dealing with a huge swarm of infantry. Looks like some kind of Trial or Campaign map. Belongs to one of the deleted maps in the batch file of the same name.
