I want to remind you that plane delivery times still depend on map width.
On "Blood And Sand" (144x144) it takes about 18 seconds for a plane to deliver, while on Chokepoint (64x32) it's only about 8 seconds.

I kind of think, that makes delivery times a little unreliable to use them for balancing ...

The plan is to let the plane come from the edge that is closest, right or left. Also to have the speed a bit faster and have a deacceleration before landing and then accelerate up to the same speed after the landing. Then we can make the delivery a function of the time instead of the map size and it ...

This is something I'm working on at the moment. Me and pchote/slepnir had a long conversation about this.

Right now it adds 8 seconds to production on a small map, (width: 56 cell) and on a large map (width: 128 cell) it will add 17 seconds.

Please post replays so we can analyze the games!

What is the thing with 1v1s. Team game is 1v1 on different fronts. That first. And yes. Its fucking dumb we can spam on a bit more eco maps MLRS and AGTs. Support a bit with inf. and you cant engage it longer. That hugh sread damage from MLRS is raping armys. And i dont upload replays longer. This ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I've noticed many games with the balance changes have become really tower spammy, specifically AGT all over the damn place accompanied with base pushing. Mesacer uses this tactic heavily. Unfortunately its so effective it will catch on and become the norm, tower defence is not RTS.

Ok, I think the ...

Switching back to classic-style production is an option if multi-queue really is causing fundamental problems and players are looking for radical solutions to fix that. I think the majority of the TD player base is not in favor of going back to single queue system. It is one thing that makes it ...

* Price increased to 650$


APC being the same price as T2 light tanks is frankly offensive to me. Light tanks should be it's hard counter. The APC should be 500, the same as the recon, and be appropriately balanced. I like the idea of reverting to machine gun on the APC and I propose we try that ...

MCV:
* Cost is reduced to 3000$
* Speed reduced to 60

APC:
* Reduced the projectile speed from instant to 900
* Price increased to 650$
* Health reduced by 10%
* Reduced the turn speed from 8 to 5
* Build time set to 15 sec
* Anti air gun reduced from 7 to 5

Rocket Launcher:
* Cost reduced to 800 ...

Under some debates with Anjew on Discord a few problems were found out about the APC.

I recently saw about a few weeks ago that the vision range on the APC is 7. Scouters (Buggies/Hummers) have 8 and tanks have 6. Knowing this I had plans to reduce the vision of APCs to 6. However, as the ...

@GDave:
---------------------

Good points to make for the person who modded the map.

That is presently why im going around asking about it. It happens to be that "APCs are OP because of price" is not a good reason with me. I have already explained the reasons why being that in a start game match ...
