Spring RTS Engine

I mainly used it in relation to micro'ed Brawlers and Cruise Missiles.

erf dont buff guardian high tradjectory

It's fine as it is, yes you can get a better DPS in low tradjectory, but in a guardian war i would almost always go for high - the extra dmg and AoE from each shot can easily wipe out any cons the enemy has if you aim well.

High angle is outstanding as it is, and it does an awesome job at keeping cons busy shuffling around and is able to splash a wide area with its shots.

The low angle shot on the otherhand seems to be lacking, for such a spendy lvl1 investment, its shots are pretty slow and hard to hit even light tanks at their slower speeds, doesn't have a large enough blast radius to counter for near misses, and is fairly weak IMO.

For a weapon that costs that much to build using a LVL1 economy, it would be really nice if it could kill 1 AK/Peewee in 1 shot in low angle, they're a small and fast target, and if you're lucky enough to plant 1 good shot on a pewee you should be rewarded with a kill as those units are the lightest ones next to a jeffy or flea.

As an added bonus, if its worth looking into or trying for 1 release, an increase of travel speed for the guardian shell in Low angle could be a nice improvement as well, leaving high angle as a slow lobbing artillery.

I'd say reduce the damage of the low arc shot and increase its rate of fire (such that DPS is roughly what it is now, maybe a teensy bit less) and make the projectile travel faster.

High arc is good as-is.

You guys remember the times when the Punisher and Guardians only had the low trajectory and were dubbed:

Unit-eater ?

Can I just say that nukes work brilliantly now. Played a game last night (on Horst and Graben) that turned into a nuke-fest. The anti-nuke defences work great but aren't all powerfull like they were before.

OKIES! Got an idea, I did! Muahaha. For L3 vehicle imbalance thing.

I typed it up just now, but realized it was too awesome to be posted on a forum. The universe would implode 8 times, spinning in a row.

I rather see other things "fixed" tbh

does it involve dinosaurs of any kind?

Yeah yeah yeah. Fixes too. Read everything up to this point now, everything taken into consideration. How long should I wait until I make the next update? It'll be another minor one, mostly balance changes but also somewhere between 2 and 6 new units. I've lost all motivation to get the anti-air kbots working for the moment. Working a lot on GEM.

Well 1.46 is pretty good already... no need to rush IMO

Apart for the current cruize missles. Yeah 1.46 is pritty good.

I saw a post saying that next spring version, that can be adressed (new tag) :p

i agree here, 1.46 looks preety balanced atm. Lets leave it here some time.

punisher/guardians are fine the way they are.

The high trajectory mode of the plasma cannons (guard/punisher) has little real use, except firing over hills/walls.

Riiiigghht.... not useful... oookkkkaaayyy. How long have you been playing this game Nemo? manual target ^^ aim into the path of an oncoming bunch of units.. then you shall see the true power that is high trajectory rawr!!

Hm.. think I'm going to have to make a patch. I've got a ton of good ideas all of the sudden. Not sure when it'll be ready.

edit: oh, I'll wait until the next version of Spring. That way I can have proper EMP with the next release. Maybe that'll give me some time for the anti-air kbots and hovercomms.

Tell us your idea's so we can either look forward to them, or bash them

So they can be stolen by Sony? No thanks. Maybe a little bit later.

Edit: better yet, get your coward ass on MSN so I can kick it in Spring!

Edit2: Hm. defeated twice in a row. I think I must have a virus.. uh... yeah.

Yea caydr those virii are really bad
