Strategy/Unit Tweaks

On Laochra initiative, the following changes have been implemented:

Sky Menace:
-1 defence for Air Transports, +2 HP to counter

Naval Commander:
-1 defence for Sea Transports, +2 HP to counter

Relentless Attack:
-10 cost for Militia

Overall:
+2 range for Ant-Aircraft
-30 cost for Helicopters (+30 to Desert Storm Helicopters to counter).

The SM and NC changes are to prevent Transports from randomly defending before Militia (both of them had 4 defence). The RA change is to remove the unneeded economy nerf. The AA range boost is to bring their range up to standard Infantry range so that players can manoeuvre them around easier. They are still vastly outmanoeuvred by Bombers and Helicopters. The Helicopter change is to make them somewhat more useful outside of Desert Storm.

Nations The Immortals المشاركات: 1486 من: اليونان	+1 02.02.2017 - 18:30 Nations كتب بواسطة Permamuted, 02.02.2017 at 16:20 كتب بواسطة Darkmace, 02.02.2017 at 14:40 I assume this means Laochra will only be using the balanced RA in 3v3 CW games? If not, its clearly not balanced. EDIT: This would be like making HW air transports cost -10gc and calling it balanced... the change has absolutely no effect on the initial issue of why RA was being considered unviable. Also I know it seems ungrateful for the changes, which isn't the case. They just seem sudden and some of them (not all of them), unnecessary or illogical. This was just a small tweak to remove a nerf that no longer needed to exist. I didnt claim ra was balanced nor did anyone else. But i do think people are underestimating it due to the comparison with that wildly overpowered version we had last year. All of these changes were necessary. If there are any you are unsure about i can explain as to why it was added. None of them are major or will alter the metagame in a significant way. Most people wont even notice. fix RA,innactive ex mod with huge ego. تحميل... تحميل...

Darth. المشاركات: 3783 من: الهند	+6 02.02.2017 - 22:32 Darth. What need was there to increase DS heli cost by fucking 30 to "counter"? That makes normal helis 170 and DS helis 160, that's just a 10 cost nerf. DS helis are now more than the cost of SM Bombers for half the range, the marines are expensive at 120 cost and its not like your defence is that cheap either. Leave DS helis unchanged. There was a thread where the merits and demerits of nerfing DS was discussed. People seemed to be split on the issue. I don't see why Laochra gets to decide how strategies are tweaked when the rest of the community is undecided. ---- تحميل... تحميل...

It's not clear from the post, but if you look at the unit list and select DS, you will see that Helicopters are still 130. What he meant was that they added 30, meaning they took the -70 from the old DS and +30 to make it a net drop of -40. DS Helos are still 130. I just looked at all the changes in the unit list. ---- Embrace the void تحميل... تحميل...

klevis المشاركات: 900 من: ألبانيا	03.02.2017 - 06:29 klevis كتب بواسطة Permamuted, 02.02.2017 at 15:47 I actually mailed ivan with these changes 6 months ago but sent him a reminder last week. What you guys need to realise is that Ivan's domain is the website and he cant do anything about the mapmaker in its current state of suspension. While it's a small change and its frustrating that we haven't gotten more filling this thread with complaints and mouthing off isnt exactly going to encourage more updates. But yea ill mail ivan to add the 30 cost back to ds helis. ds helis still 130 .....ds is still the same ...AA cost alot .... seem u failed again to make strats balance ---- تحميل... تحميل...

I don't see why Laochra gets to decide how strategies are tweaked when the rest of the community is undecided. The change applied wasnt a ds change but a change to the default helis so theyd become more usable in general. I see someone already pointed this out. Besides most of these changes were discussed on the modforum. That heli change actually came from the community. The idea to improve helicopters has existed for a long time but as per usual i am the only one who has the gumption to make it a reality. As for your last point, the community cannot decide on anything. Look at the nerf ds thread, 3 pages of mostly useless content. What were you hoping would get decided from that? I am almost the only person who made a constructive point in the whole thread. It's a joke. It appears the community no longer contains players who are able to argue with logic and reason. As it was they were in scarce supply before. ---- تحميل... تحميل...
