made a demo for this:

2 peewee's can own a exploiter
1 flash can own a exploiter

IMO if their turret turning speed was a bit higher they could have handeled them

I mean why build a mex with a laser if it needs an LLT anyway...

And pressing CTRL+B also selects the Viper for CORE

??? No you don't. Just stick one con bot on it. He will get them done with basically no pain to your econ (as long as it was decent in the first place).

well duh!!

but it's less efficient that normal solars.. so get a lot of normal solars first!

Owh also

AK's seem somewhat bugged.. sometimes they just refuse to shoot! yes i do have enough energy...

This mod needs simplification. Take out 1/3rd of the units. Then it'll be easier to balance.

Don't think what will happen. I like the diversity of AA. You don't know what you will get against you.
Indeed it would be easyer to balance. But taking out even one unit will upset many people and with good reason.

Check out AA 1.43 -B, it uses only the cavedog units.

Lets take it a step further! Reduce it to 3 units:
-the rock
-the paper
-the scissors

But it would remove a lot of fun tactics and diversity aswell. Making the game boring and predictable. Not fun!

Exploiters (not talking the moho ones here) are certainly a bit screwy at the moment. In OTA they were set to receive only like 1/10 the damage from flashes, gators, peewees, AKs and the other rushing units. With all this armorclass stuff, I haven't fixed that yet, but in the next version they'll be more appropriate to their role. Turret turning rate will also be increased of course.

I request a new thread. This one is getting much too long.

Well while this isn't a very long thread, long threads in general put a strain on forum servers. And it just looks better!

Because a big long thread helps caydr compensate for his small penis.

but hey, lets make it even better and give the rock super shap edges, give the paper a plasma torch, and make the scissors out of titanium!

Flint · Post by **Flint** » 16 Feb 2006, 09:09

I think the mod is really on its way to a near perfect balance, just get around to the bladewings and exploiters.

Ok, maybe we need to start en new threat just becouse this one is going down hill.

And again Caydr, plz fix the anni. The point of view is nearly on the ground
This makes the anni incapable of shooting over any unit, making his tower useless. (And yes, that also counts if you're not controlling it)
