At first, he doesn't even know who the new leader of Black Hole is, due to another taking up the lead after the vacuum of power was created from the assassination of Sturm.Īfter the Allied Nations fights him, he questions Kindle about who the new leader is, where she teases him about it before leaving. In Dual Strike, Hawke is still with the Black Hole army and retains his Machiavellian nature, although he is not as high-ranking of an officer as he was previously. He claims of wanting to test his skills, in which Andy showed and gets the best of him. If you play Hard Mode, you can actually play against him with Andy. However, Sturm attacks and tries to destroy everyone, but Hawke steps in and kills him personally using his CO power. He then retreats back into Black Hole territory when Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth, and Yellow Comet team up to attack Black Hole and end the war.


He then attacks and gets a great deal of land, until Jess comes, teams up with Eagle and Drake, counterattacks against Hawke, and destroys a factory. During the war, Hawke was second in command of Black Hole's army, only taking orders from Sturm. Joining Black Hole with no told reason, his task was to attack Green Earth by the order of Sturm at the first dialog box. Hawke created an intense rivalry between him and Eagle due to mainly attacking Green Earth during Advance Wars 2. Hawke also shows some compassion for Lash in Dual Strike, apologizing for putting her in such a difficult situation by deserting the Black Hole. While he is put off by Andy's youthful energy, he respects Andy as a CO and does not hold any grudges from being defeated by him. Hawke is more respectful than the other Black Hole COs he does not insult his opponents and holds true to his promises. Hawke seems to have his own personal motivation of gaining power by killing even Sturm, his superior, in Advance Wars 2. However, despite being a Black Hole CO, he is not entirely evil. He shows little regard for his opponents besides gauging their skill level. Thrudgelmir though.Hawke is generally stern and humorless. I'm not the translator or otherwise involved with the project at all, so second-hand opinion, but I think "Zoldak" was chosen as a spelling because it's an actual, real-world surname that real people have.

ADVANCE WARS 2 ROM CODEBREAKER CODES SERIES
SRW is 90% text so to not only translate it, but localize it into something that's actually understandable and accessible for people who wouldn't even be familiar with the series just blows my mind.

I made an account specifically because I wanted to say THANK YOU for the excellent work and all time and effort that must have went into such a huge project. I guess if I absolutely needed to be critical, then I'd say that there's a few typos and some questionable name translation choices (specifically Sladgelmir instead of Thrudgelmir or Zoldak instead of Zoldark), but how the hell can I even complain about that when I was absolutely certain that I'd never get to experience this game in the first place? SRW OGs and OG Gaiden are basically my absolute favorite games in my favorite game series and I remember trying to bug Atlus way back when for them to bring this to the West and being shut down, so finally getting to play this and understand the story is a dream come true. I've been waiting for a translation for this ever since the game first released and it feels like a dream to see it finally happen.
