====== Earth Defence Force Tactics ======

Turn-based tactics game with elements of the //[[wars_series|Wars]]//, //[[nectaris_series|Nectaris]]//, and [[great_strategy_series|大戰略]] (AKA: //Daisenryaku//) series.

By [[thinkArts]], who seem to have done a few of the //Daisenryaku// games around the same time (2005/6), but not the [[sony_playstation_2|PS2]] ones.

===== Guide =====

There's not much info around on how to play so here're some notes:

  * When you're picking your units before the stage there doesn't seem to be a disadvantage to spending all the points you can. It's 4000 (or whatever) each time, no carry-over.
  * Took me a minute to figure out //why// you kinda get two turns in a row. The second one's only for queuing up more units in your barracks. Hence the big text saying 'reinforcements'.
  * The more bases you capture the more XP you get. When there's an ally army on the map I find it handy to send //pale wings// to go camp on places so they can't capture them :)
    * Though units don't seem to actually gain XP unless I kill stuff with them? In the not-story mode they call the points you spend to buy units 'experience', so maybe it's that kind of experience...
  * I thought dying and the 'Remove' command just sent a unit back to base, which seemed like a handy way to move them around, but it resets their experience level to 1. Whoops!
  * Highest character level is 5.
  * Online snooping suggests there are 100 stages. You play the first 50 as the EDF, and the second 50 as the aliens/invaders. The alien ones might be just the EDF ones repeated. Alien mode might be more difficult as the aliens are weaker.
  * L1/2 move to next unit that hasn't acted yet, including those in bases. Makes it easy to check if you've don all your actions.
    * Related: In the reinforcement stage it will just move you to the base. Saves you some scrolling :)
  * Seems quicker to scroll the map with the analogue stick? Quicker acceleration?

==== Units ====

  * **Storm Unit**: Basic unit, good for taking bases
  * **Ranger Unit**: Too slow to be much use, usually. Can only fire it didn't move. Can shoot at range, and some weapons hit multiple hexes. Got an anti-air weapons recently.
  * **Armored Unit**: I never even use them TBH. Can use various weapon types like flame-throwers and web guns. If they get anti-air might be a good pairing with tanks.
  * **Maintenance Unit**: Can't fight for shit, but keeps your troops' guns loaded.
  * **Pale Wing Close Range Model**:
  * **Pale Wing Ranged Model**:
  * **Pale Wing Bomb Model**: All weapons seems to come with Destroy Stronghold?
  * **Pale Wing Reconnaissance Model**: Can see really far.
  * **Gigantes**: Slow, but strong if you can get them into combat. Good for defending positions. Could pair well with a Ranger Unit behind?
  * **Bazerato**: Helicoptor.
  * **Airbike**: Their speed makes them really handy for capturing bases. Can hit hovering enemies too.
