I wonder what will we face in the Heavyobject Challenge. It's stated defensive subfactions, but what cheat will they get this time?

[Zharakov]

1. You posted this again

2. Claiming a unit will help ppl against experienced players? Now there is another side of the medal: Imagine what experienced player will do with you using this unit.

 

Ohhh nevermind Gharials can be mind controlled now

 

Good point though..

Let me guess... The 3 defensive subfactions should be Euro Alliance, HQ and Last Bastion. You may expect multiple Plasmerizers and Blasticade superweapons for each of them. There might be deployed Thor Gunships and bunch of units under them. And last there might be no sea so you can't go naval. 

 

Btw, Ouroboros Challenge is way too easy simply because of the sea

Very surprised that Foxtrot accuracy was buffed just like I suggested. Looking forward to see how they work now. IMO Kirov buff should have stayed though since they are rarely used anyway.

++ added: new skirmish/multiplayer game option - No Spawn Previews: some info about players' choices will be hidden

 

If I got it correct, these info are visible in the injected files used by syringe.exe, thus visible via a third-party parser.

What's more, such cheat is easy to perform and very hard to detect (you can't blame someone just for being lucky)

ok i am happy and a bit annoyed about the changes:

pteranodon nerf(YES  )

shadray range increase (BOOOOOOO  )

 

removing kirov and borillo buff is ok and fine(to make changelog a lot more fair i guess)

other changes are understandable overall

Well, I have been thinking about the zorbs nerf, and I do still believe the main problem is their regen ability, these guys can take way too much damage. The regen speed is the reason why they seem to eat damage effortlessly. So far this sounds like the description of an LB unit, but zorbs also have an insane damage output, 8 range AoE instakill most infantry  + deal damage over a short while. Are they expensive? 1400 + 2500/N  I don't know, but people will invest the money to obtain such a powerful unit, it is not rare to see packs of 10 or more.

What do I suggest? Slower health rate or  Fast health regen but with a large cooldown

 

Fun fact  Zorbfloater can take Kirov bombs to the face, and their health gets restored before the next bomb

A note about their lifting ability

In vanilla, the magnetron purpose was to bring enemy units into the range of slow MC units, but coronian monster tank is the fastest in the game (counting speed nerf) even more, magnetron was a fragile unit in vanilla. Lifting ability was highly exploited in MP via attack-move command and used to send units to water/objects, Bringing back this In MO is something I just can't understand

you mean Zorbfloater :v

[TeslaCruiser]

you mean Zorbfloater :v

Yes, thanks

[NorthFireZ]

Dunno about this, but if Zorbs strength was wayyyy lower, the healing wouldn't be a problem. Two shots to the head and they should be dead. (Suggesting that Zorbs strength should be adjusted to take two consecutive Sniper shots or 1.5 virus shots to kill.)

[Tyhednus]

Okay, I have no more complaints about the Gharial nerf. Godsbanes and duplicants can do the trick just as well.

[Handepsilon]

Godsbane is probably the most annoying unit if you rely on Adepts/Elites/Masterminds. One shot is all it takes to break the link.

 

Not to forget that they eat buildings really quick

In vanilla, yuri is OP mainly for its ability to terminate the battle before t3. Magnetron-lifted unis are considered as air units and are mowed down by massed gatling tanks. So can coronia with its superior AA weapons.

Wait, wait, wait, hold up. Godsbane's attack actually stuns units? Like seriously? I didn't know that! I saw this little bubble on top of the unit it attacked, but I was never sure what it did...

 

So Godsbanes can simply stun mind control off (and stun every other unit that gets hit). Okay, good to know. They're pretty slow though, and require you have a Nanofiber Sync ready to deploy. But they can get rid of mind control, stun enemies, and hit multiple targets. That's the important part. I f**king hate mind control. It's great when you're the one dishing it out. Not so much when you're on the receiving end of it. XD

[Handepsilon]

yeah and the thread goes to multiple foes, means multiple MC'er can be stunned at the same time

[UNSC THE CHILL OF WAR]

What does nerf mean?

[Solais]

The opposite of buff.

[Kirov_Fury]

To elaborate, nerf means a spesific unit has some of its combat abilities down-graded or removed. Buff, on the contrary, means just the opposite (better or new battle abilities-damage output/speed/immunity to battlefield hazards/price/healing etc.)

[TheWankBank]

Good changes, no complaints there.

 

I like that now more colours are being added, I think alot more should be added,

 

like Tan, Black, Lite Green from Soviet Mission 5, Dark Blue from Soviet Mission 5, A more darker version of orange.

[TeslaCruiser]

Some colors are too hard to see in the minimap, therefore, those colors are an unfair advantage. That was a problem in 3.0
