Legion Expansion [Released!]

http://pamatches.com/wiki/lore/wars

Great work guys! It's a very well made mod indeed, even better than the official expansion(AKA Titans) in some ways.
But need serious balance. These 2 units left me a great impression.
1. Lancer is very strong, like a T1 sniper, providing efficient fire support, it's also very fast, can kite vehicles pretty well.
2. The T2 missile hover is too powerful, it kills almost everything it can see, within a great range. The only drawback is its attack angle makes it hit the wreckage of the buildings too much.

Lancer range is really low. If you micro well enough ants and shanks will both kill them really easily, and they're super vulnerable to bombers if your opponent didn't bring enough patriots.

Great expansion, Love it! But can we please get a alternative UI colour to choose from

You can disable the UI colouring in settings.

Thanks, i'll look into your issues. Do you have any pa stat replays i can look at?

Did you try monstrosities, deathmarks, or bombers against the panzers (t2 missile hover)?

Haven't played yet and likely wait till stable is out but one question i have is how usefull are gil-e's and angels antimissiledefense against legion units?

We saw that yesterday. There was also a gamestar article.

mm the gil-e is not too effective against legion tac missiles and rockets since legion generally shoots them in volleys. The angel is pretty good against them though since it has high rof. Where vanilla flak cannot be shot down, the legion t2 missile aa can be. Can shoot down panzer missiles too!

I only tried a few games with the AI, and that is just an overall impression, it might not be accurate. And sorry, I do not have PA stat replays at this moment. It's seems too much better compare to its counter part bluehawk for the 50% more metal cost. So the strategy to counter panzer is to simply out range it or use something that is able to survive it's missile barrage and deliver its payload?

Even if it is easier to compeare it can still be an innacurate comparison afterall. Personally I didn't fell that it was difficult to counter them , as it currently overkills every unit it shoots and it isn't precisely fast doing so. In fact It usually dies as soon as it gets in the process of shooting.
That is what I´ve experienced

looking at legion's unit description, they seem much weaker and smaller than i tought, like orbital unit black night wich only deliver a ground blast equivalent to 20 megatons of TNT, and their biggest gun were just 940 mm.

anyway, this expansion were awesome !!

20 megatons is more than the most powerful nuclear weapon detonated by the United States. 940mm (37 inches) is a higher calibre than the largest artillery gun ever used. I wouldn't call that weak or small

Well, We already have 50 megatons nuke back in 1964. being an extremly advanced giant robot, they should be able to dish out more than that, gigaton at least. In supcom, mech marine already have battleship gun while legion basic tank have 270 mm.

A gigaton?
20-50 MTs would flatten buildings five miles from ground zero. Which is way more destructive power than the nukes that are in game.


1 GT? In addition to being too large to be strategically useful, the majority of the weapon's power would be lost to space. Though, 100 Black Nights would probably cause them to be blasted out of orbit.
Water detonations would cause a tsunami to destroy water buildings in a much larger area still.
Detonations in large trenches like the Grand Canyon could cause volcanic eruptions.

The PTE servers are about to go offline. You will not be able to play Legion online until PTE has been pushed to stable. Skirmish will continue to function and the mod will still be downloadable through Community Mods. While there is no firm timeline for PTE's push to stable we expect it within the next week. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
