I've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem games, which require a ton of replaying missions in order to avoid having my best (typically ungulate-mounted) units killed for stupid decisions on my part, so replaying goes right along with FE's 'YOU FUCKED UP DON'T DO IT AGAIN' based strategy. Your second point surprises me, the consequences make perfect sense but I never expected AC games to basically give you bonuses for going into debt. It's almost like I've been playing the game COMPLETELY WRONG. I will be applying these strategies as soon as I
stop tasing arsonists to death . Any more suggestions you have I will be thankful for, I'm really lost in the world of (realistic?) mech combat games.
On that note, I've been playing Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. It's like Advance Wars except it takes place in a fantasy universe where Horse riding infantry are unbeatable badasses capable of mowing down infinite swaths of pirates and mercenaries without getting hit once. Unfortunately if they do get hit once (or sometimes, twice!!!!) it means an instant death and the loss of a character you've been stewing for a solid 3 hours or more. I used to overlook these games for the (relatively) easier Advance Wars series but what draws me in more and more is the story. It's fairly cookie-cutter, but still very entertaining and 'page turneresque'. I give it three Pegasus Knights out of a Zombified Dog.
Has anyone played Path of Radiance on the Gamecube? I'm considering investing in that (and a 5$ VGA cable which I lost) to satisfy my HOT 3D MEDIEVAL COMBAT ACTION OH YEAH BAY-BEE cravings but I'd rather not play it if it's a big sack of trash.

So right now I’m researching and trying out various patches. Thanks for releasing a game from a bazillion years ago without fixing it for modern PCs, Square Enix!

Yeah that sounds about right. I think they redid FF7 for PC with a grand total of 4 new textures for full price, but maybe that was just in Canada moneys.
