Theres no harm in testing it your way. Ive spoken to a couple of other people and they support price increae not build time only so i'll concede.

I will post this here also, i have posted this on the balancing PR that AoAGeneral made on github.


The future
So moving forward from this, GDave, AoAGeneral and I had a talk about this and came to the conclusion that I will help with the balancing, mostly with the technical part but also with communication with the community.

Transparency
We have to come to conclusions that we need to be a bit more transparent and communicate our intentions with the community.

Involvement
One positive thing I want to keep from this is the involvement from the community. I would even like to see even more involvement from the community, with testing and coming with ideas / suggestions. It would be cool if people posted stuff like this:

“I think x should be changed because of y, look at this replay. What are your thoughts?â€

Or

“I don't agree with these changes because of x, look at this replay“

Need to change airstrike power to:
Not always come from left side of map. This screws player who happent to have base on left side of map hard as barely have any time to react. Ideally they would use position of using players conyard to target location angle like in most Gen:Zh mods.
The planes to come in sequence like GDI airstrike in RenX. First comes central plane, then enters plane 2, then plane 3. Distance and microtiming between planes set up such that their firepower doesnt ball up to an mini-nuke.

The current version of Airstrike is random direction, not always from the left side.

I'm working on changing this to let the player choose the direction for the approach.

So i am back here in the forum. Last night i had a Teamgame with normal players and MLRS AGT Spam became a hugh number. and it were just one guy. He made a second mcv and spammed AGTs + MLRS with some Tanks and a bit inf. He were backmoving into the AGT line his MLRS all the time, because my hugh dumb inf blobs were dealing it when he came closer to me. Not the time or chance for a real attack.
What i mean is. He were blocking the game for dynamic gameplay like blocking ref or WF. 900$ MLRS is not the deal depends on how you can make mcvs on spamming maps when you play with GDI agains Nod.

Other point is Stank are realy useless. You have to spam 100 stanks. Moving close to some rifles means instand 80 damage and right dead agains nothing. Give Stanks now Heavy armor. They are so lategame and rare to use. Also Rifles can beat it easy. Makes the counterplay agains GDI much harder to do anything. Shielding Stanks with ltanks is meeded and not working in normal games. Not enough Money.

Well OpenRA is pure inf Spam in all mods. Makes much Fun.
When someone is say it isnt. He will die apart.
