Land

-

Fire Beetle

-

Beetles are currently underused, with this change they will be easier to quickly pump out.

- - - -
- -
-

T2 Mobile Missile Launcher

- -

- The MMLs were nerfed quite heavily when the TMD's behaviour got reworked. With these changes they will be cheaper and easier to build - while the range increase will make it easier to deal with T2 PDs without accidentally getting into its' range. -

- - - -
- -
-

T3 Mobile AA

-

Straight buff to T3MAA. The direction allows players to get them out earlier. Cybran hp is relatively stronger to make up for the lack of mobile shields.

Aeon

UEF

Cybran

- - -

Seraphim

T3 Shield Distruptor

-

The shield disruptor might not be used too often currently by most players but it's an extremely strong and oppressive unit with very little counterplay. By reducing its range and hp we hope to give players more counterplay possibilities.

- - - -
- -
- -

T3 Direct Fire Heavy Units

- -

To make T3 stage more dynamic we're increasing the movement speed of all T3 direct fire heavy units

- -

Brick

- -

- Bricks also gets a small buff to its range which brings it in line with the Percy. With its current range the Brick wasn't able - to properly kite enemy gun ACUs and it made the Brick extremely vulnerable to OC. -

- - - -

Harb

- - - -

Othuum

- - - -

Percy

- - - -
- -
-

Snipers

- -

- The reduction in speed and range will allow for more counterplay as the snipers will now need to be closer to the enemy and they won't be able to retreat as fast. - This will allow other units to catch them if they are out of position. The cost changes shifts the snipers to a later stage of T3 as it will be impossible to spam them out effectively without - bigger investment into energy infrastructure. This should also disallow people to quickly rush a couple of snipers to completely nulify an agressive ACU. -

Aeon

Sera

T3 Mobile Artilleries

-

Affects All non-Aeon T3 Mobile Arties. This reduces the time it takes for Arties to unpack (2x faster). - This will buff T3 arties vs armies as it will make hit and run tactics more effective. -

- - - -
- -
-

fatboy Fatboy

-

This makes it easier to retreat with the Fatboy without it rotating which will make kiting easier and less frustrating. - No longer will you need to issues tons of movement commands close together to make sure the fatboy won't suddenly start turning around and die because of it. -

- -
- -
-

gc GC

-

GC has been the strongest experimental since its claws were reworked. It's particularly strong vs - large T3 armies which are slower and can't effectively micro against the GC like they can against the Ythota. - The slower speed will make it harder for the GC to catch armies and retreat if it picks a loosing fight. -

Navy

Air

T2 Transports

-

This nerf is aimed primarily at arty drops which are very hard to counter. The slower change will allow Inties - to catch up to the transport even if they are not in the perfect position to defend. -

- - +
+

T3 Missle Ship

+

This change totally reworks the role of the Torrent from a expensive battleship level unit to a cheap AOE missile ship. This should make Torrents viable in more situations.

-
- -
-

Janus

-

Janus are currently a lot more efficient BT and E wise comapred to Inties which makes it vert difficult to spam enough inties to keep up with Janus production. - These changes allow for more counterplay vs Janus and makes them a less of an all-in unit. - The reduced mass cost should make the Janus more viable in lower number and non all-in scenario

Air Factories

Brings the t2 and t3 air in line with land and slows down the tech progression for air, which often outpaces land in teamgames.

Tech 3 Power Generators Adjacency

-

This change effects only buildings the size of a factory and the ones that have active (non maintenance so eg. radar isn't effected) consumption

-

T3 pgens adjacency is extremely efficient and scaling your grid by adding extra T3 pgens and support air factories is the only viable choice. With this change, we hope to force players to make a conscious decision if they wish to quickly scale their production by increasing the assistance on their HQ or rip the long-term benefits of expanding their air grid. This change also simply makes spamming higher amounts of ASFs harder.

  • Active Energy Adjacency Buff: -0.1875 → -0.1562

UEF Bubble Shield

-

Currently, the bubble shield isn't used as it's too expensive and arrives too late. We hope that by shifting the upgrade to the mid-game stage it will allow UEF players to better take advantage of the upgrade with a Mongoose push or by protecting their first T3 units from OCs.
