Green Earth
A nation drawn into an ongoing war by a Black Hole Army frame-up involving an attack on a base, while Yellow Comet joins separately due to territorial concerns. Black Hole is the fifth major faction in the series.
Green Earth is one of five major factions in the Advance Wars canon, including the Black Hole Army. The nation is drawn into the war after Black Hole Army operatives frame Orange Star's Andy for an unprovoked attack on a Green Earth base, leading Eagle to accuse Andy and declare war. This manipulation, not genuine Orange Star aggression, triggers Green Earth's involvement. Meanwhile, Yellow Comet joins the war separately: Kanbei perceives Orange Star as invading his territory, a distinct trigger from Eagle's accusation. The nation plays a pivotal role when its leaders assume that the Orange Star Army intends to invade their land while merely passing through, a misunderstanding escalated by Black Hole's machinations.

Lore & Background
The story begins with Blue Moon's Olaf invading Orange Star territory, immediately sparking the campaign. The player advises Andy through all five major factions, including Green Earth and Black Hole. After defeating Blue Moon troops invading Orange Star, the Orange Star Army moves toward Green Earth and Yellow Comet. Kanbei of Yellow Comet assumes this movement is a threat and declares battle against Orange Star on his soil—a separate trigger from Eagle's actions. Eagle of Green Earth is deceived by Black Hole Army's frame-up, believing Andy committed a treacherous act of aggression against Green Earth by attacking a base, leading him to declare battles against Orange Star on Green Earth's soil. This accusation draws Green Earth into the already ongoing war between Orange Star and Blue Moon, but Yellow Comet's involvement stems from Kanbei's independent decision, escalating the conflict into a worldwide war. Black Hole is the fifth faction, orchestrating the chaos behind the scenes.
In Their Own Story
The player starts by advising Andy as he faces accusations from Eagle, the Commanding Officer of Green Earth. Following the defeat of Blue Moon's invasion force, the Orange Star Army proceeds through other nations. When they reach Green Earth, the local leadership interprets their passage as an imminent threat. This leads to a mission split where the player can choose between different COs or paths, with maps and dialogue differing based on choices made. Eventually, these story paths lead back to the main narrative thread after completing specific missions.
Reader's Guide
In the game's campaign, players engage Green Earth forces as part of the storyline expansion beyond Orange Star and Blue Moon. The nation is led by Eagle, who serves as the antagonist in the early stages due to his accusation against Andy. Players must defeat Green Earth troops while navigating branching mission paths that depend on which CO they advise—initially Andy, later choosing between Max or Sami from Orange Star. Victory conditions vary: some maps require capturing specific cities or surviving a set number of days rather than routing all units. Terrain in Green Earth missions includes woods and mountains, which affect vision under fog of war; infantry can expand vision in mountains, while woods remain hidden unless a unit is adjacent. Players earn coins to unlock COs and map ranks by completing these battles.
