Okay, I apologize if my first post here was not what was expected, new to Alphas. So I will try again. Tanks at the moment are terribly powerful. A tank vs a bot of equal level is not a fair fight. A tank will more than likely 1 shot the bot or other unit. Tier 2 tanks are incredibly powerful and single shot kill every unit they come across. So, either bots, or other units of the same tier need a boost in their ability to take a hit and an increase in their firepower, or, tanks need to take less to kill, do less damage and/or need to take longer to build and/or cost more to build. Im wondering if anyone else feels the same way. Let me give an example of what I mean. I had a nicely built up base with over 80 of the tier 1 quick build bots built, 10 tanks rolled into the base. They were tier 2 tanks, but all the same, they took out all 80 of my tier 1 bots...and this was including help from my base defenses including pelters(Which were ineffective) and turrets. There was over half of the tier 2 tanks left after that fight. While my base was relatively untouched, I had effectively been taken out of the game and soon lost.
i felt that tanks were really overpowered as well, as i was building an army out of cheap bots. then i built a bunch of bombers, and destroyed about 20~ tier 2 tanks with them, only losing 1 bomber in the process. units aren't currently responding well to orders, so I'm finding it very hard to determine unit balance at this point in time. that being said, I am not worrying much about gameplay at this point, but more on technical stability and bugs.
Yes, its true, I could have started building my own tier 2 tanks, but I didnt have the time or opportunity to do so. I did have bombers, but they were ineffectual due to anti air units in with the tanks. What I am trying to say is that, tanks have a massive advantage and that the advantage shouldnt be that huge. 80 tier 1 bots should maul 10 tier 2 tanks from sheer weight of numbers IMHO. And while yes, I have posted bugs onto the bug tracker, I am also looking at things like this.
Maybe, but you can churn out tier 2 tanks in a shorter time than the stompers. My opponents had Tier 2 tanks, and lots of them, before I even had 5 tier 2 bots built.
Yeah i've found the bots to be super underpowered, they dont build 2x as fast (from what i can tell) and even when i have more numbers, bots do tiny damage to tanks and get near 1shot...
