[DISCONTINUED] Very Boring and Conservative Balance

what are your general thoughts on the wyrm?

A tough one. I'd like to buff its HP, but without a modification to the speed of air I'm not sure that's enough. So do I then buff its air speed? Possibly. To be honest I haven't given a lot of thought to it. It feels like a unit which can be pretty powerful in the right circumstances, so I'm treating it with kid gloves.

I'm also tempted to restore the ability of the Pelican to carry the Commander. It was removed to prevent comm rushes, but the Ubercannon has been nerfed against structures since then.

What tempers that temptation is it allows the age old strategy of planet patrolling your Commander bearing transport in multi-planet games to prevent sniping. Theoretically I suppose the Phoenix is the counter, but you have warning of their arrival and time to unload, and can start over once they're gone.

I'm not keen on allowing that tedious tactic back into the game.

One thing i know for sure that on single planet maps people will be transporting there com to secure lage metal deposits. Donno if that will improve the game play

hmmm not sure with changing the gil-e weapon from projectile to hitscan ... usaly i see such weapons hit ground or clipp ... will have to test tommorow if i can ...

That's probably the most experimental change. The fallback will likely be reversion to 220 range as a projectile with 400 damage.

welp tried 3 games today ... all crashed before i could use the wyrm and gil- e
... guess i have to disable pewpew and legion next time

All I can say is that there's nothing in the mod that should cause that, but if you find a reproducible error please let me know.

I believe Cover the Line and Ubermap are associated with certain crashes, so if you use those be aware.

i will see tomorow ... also gonna look if it's eventualy caused by air/seawreckage
otherwise gonna upload crashfile
