It will be made slightly smaller.
I shall introduce you to a concept called balance.
Go check out the Cyber general screenshots in the Pictures area. It was posted and made a while ago, but Cyber has a new mech, called "The Iron man." It has 2 chain guns (the same as the assult spider) 2 sniper cannons, and siege spider missiles.
It is used to bridge the gap between the Fanfir and the Spiders. However, it would be very unbalanced if both the Ironman and Assult spider had chain guns, because of the damage they do, and considereing how earler you can get the Spiders. The assult spiders in the next version will be more specialised in anti tank roles. Where as the Ironman will have the chain guns and be an all round heavy mech.

But I rather to do not implement Iron Man and only increase cost of AS.Maybe to 1800$ or 2000$.
In my opinion that IM not needed.
Making AS specialised vs tanks only?Why you just dont train Tank Hunter robo?

And i vote yes but i clicked no without watching what i was doing.
So it should be 2to1 to yes.

Didnt know for that new unit.

The Iron man is to bridge the gap between the Asult spider anf the Fanfir. There is absolutly no comparing a Fanfir to an Assult spider, as 1 Fanfir can take on 3-4 Assult spiders with devestating effects.(the FanFir winning) Where as If it were the Ironman mechs, the Iron man would win.
Be happy that cyber has a new cool toy to play with. IT has the same plus more weapons as the assult spider, and the assult spider is only getting its chain guns taken away.
It's for balance.
Also... The rocket troopers are infantry. what are they crap against? Anti infantry weapons....
What is anti infantry weak against? Armour.......
So the Spider will be awsome against Tanks, and with anti infantry weapons doing minimal damage to them. Infantry is what they will be weak against. That is where the Iron man, an allround mech comes into play.
it's only a very small balance change and will not really make any difference. IF you are playing Robo and attacking, you should not be attacking with one unit, but with a large mix (infantry, artillery planes etc) so the only thing the spiders can attack are Air units and infantry. Which is what the Iron man can do, which will support the Spiders as they go along.

frankly, i dont care about balance.
It's the most important part of the game.
Balance is what makes any RTS good. If it was imbalanced it would be stupid, there would be no RTS, it would be an "explosion simulator" (Copywright Huzegun) and a complete spam fest of the same factions which are the best.

In that way you cant mass them easily because high cost.

What the fuck is an increase in $200 going to do? If you going to make it balanced by money, it needs to be at least double, if not more, the origional price.Well for me solution is to increase AS cost to 2000$.
In that way you cant mass them easily because high cost.
The reason you don't want the chain guns to go, is because you play against the AI omly. You want the strongest army to kill the AI with, and the best units, so that your units can win all the firefights. Every single modded faction is capable of crushing a Hard Robot AI, even on large maps when it is the most lethal.
Also, don't forget the chain guns on the spider target Air units aswell, and absolutly tear them to peices, faster then a gattling cannon.

We don't want all sides to be a carbon copy of one another sure and 1 side will always have a weakness to another side IE: napalm gen has the advantage over infantry.
The trick is to get it so that all the sides have there place, in contra 3 awhile ago you remember the nuke general?
Altho some may say it was balanced it was not that gen could walk over any team and its retaliator defenses were just evil.
So its very important to have unique sides that play using there own tactics but at the same time can't just pawn anything and every general with no weaknesses.

He's going to become a little bit more specialized. Fewer units will be good at everything, and many units will become better at one job.
Late game brute force Mech attacks will rely on the IronMan. Its a cool mech, a nice model. The weapons are effective vs nearly all ground units and structures. The Assault Spider is being downgraded to an Anti-Tank and Anti-Air. It will be smaller, and have less armor, but will remain a choice unit for sneaking into a base by climbing an unprotected cliff. The Siege Spider is being reqorked to be less effective vs buildings, but will be more effective vs tanks. It will do armor peircing damage (instead of explosive damage) and will track moving vehicles.
I'm also seriously considering making adv robots and adv mechs mutualy exclusive. If I do this you can expect more high end small units, such as aircraft that deploy spider mines, or long range drone deploying units... infact, some of these may come around either way.
Between now and the next polished release there should be very little new art work done. Instead the focus is on designing, testing, and fixing. the mod has always been so close to finished that its nearly criminal. I'd love to see this through to the end with a real community effort.

Oh, and for robot gen, he can get REALLY quickly promoted by using leaches on captured tech buildings. I mean, 5 stars in like 2 min.
