From the guys that couldn't bare to watch another DSD tech... Comes a mod so outrageous it can only be described as "another BA fork"
But with a twist!
Please note the change to mex's...

The Mex extraction change is a little new, but in theory:
- Discourage teching to a degree - It will bridge the gap between front and back in large games - Make raiding/expansion more viable in large/small games (especially late game) - Make 1v1's hell'a fun XD (raiding etc)
T2 eco will remain the same late game, but T1 will be alot more viable later into the game. If you control more mexes after the first 10 mins, you get the advantage you deserve. Also late game expansion will still be very relavent. Ie/ At 40 mins mexes will be giving 32 metal if played on DSD!
Note: This will not replace the progress of BA II, that will remain commited to standard BA gameplay
Dunno if you have already looked at it but the 'progressive mining' modoption in BA has charging mex's however these start bad then get a bit better then stop, anyhow it includes a nice graphical indicator on mex's that shows their progress if that's of any use to you.
Yeah we had a look at that, probably integrate that feature. It's good, was really testing the theory behind this, it seems to work quite nicely. Different though, more time spent fighting if thats a good thing? I dunno.
Is mex efficiency global or is it a bonus which is only applied if a particular mex survives for at least 10 minutes?
In the testing it worked with time frames of 10 mins; thus a mex built in the first 10 mins got upgraded at 10, 20, 30, etc. A mex built in the second 10 mins was functioning as new, and got its first upgrade in the third frame, so it would be one upgrade behind those from the first frame.
I'm afraid not, this was a quick rip off google image search. But if I ever decide to try mod development... it would be kind of LOL to have a few RA2 units in BA.
