newest balance mod DA released.

Post by jackalope »

Well after all the struggling and arguing in the community about balance and stuff in AA and its various clones I've decided to bring everything together into one wholesome balanced mode that really focuses on good gameplay instead of random changes. The mod's name is DA, or Drolito Annihilation. I'm not actually making this as a successor to AA/BA/CA or trying to take their place, but in fact that is probably what will happen because those mods are so bad and mine is going to be so balanced and fair. I should also note I have taken special care to make sure both ARM and CORE have a fine and precise balance of strengths and weaknesses that ultimately make them equal. Look for the download link at the end of this post.

Here is a complete changelog from BA 5.4:

- Arm Atlas is now stealth (unstealthed) and cloaks for 2 energy with flea-sized decloak radius (no cloak before).

Dude, for DA you need more betteer balancing changes like make an atlas use play-sound to scream "Mine! Mine!" when it's flying or PWs that scream DAAAAAAAAAAA while rushing at the enemy , jumping at him and exploding!

Also I'd propose removing less used units to reduce the imbalance and concentrating on the ones you need: Flash and Gator! Also bring back the Wezel.

mental duck is stupid it's just weird fucked up changes to make things all "crazy" and "wild" and "hilarious".

This mod is about balance and the future of spring.

Two sides for one coin.

P.S : I know you're kidding, but honestly - this isn't really funny.
