Updates
From Battle Dex
Build 316
1. Fixed problem with not being able to place some debuffs on units that had other debuffs. 2. Pacify symbol now shows up as part of camo. 3. Fixed erroneous text that showed up if you imbolized any
Build 310
BALANCING CHANGES
-- Light Tank Hero hp reduced from 240 to 215.
-- You must have visibility of an enemy HQ to target it (i.e. in a base rush if all you have is artillery 5 spaces away left, you will not be able to fire).
FIXES
-- Fixed rounding error on air unit speed buff -- 50% speed buff to fighters results in 9 spaces of movement not 10.
-- You cannot fortify enemy units (one of my favorite replays was someone fortifying an enemy recon in a resource they controlled on Oasis and then never going on that side of the board again -- permanent controlled resource -- funny but not fair).
-- Fixed smoke 2 descriptions to say 4 cannisters instead of 3.
Build 309
In team tournaments, if you kill an opponent, you don't get the 400 bonus gold. You still get 400 bonus gold in FFAs if you take out an opponent.
Balancing
Cost Changes
infantry training 40->35g armored recon 90->80g boot camp 70->60 evac3 20->10g evac4 30->20g full repair 120->115 lethal recon 100->95 recon hero 100->110g tech aa 170->165g tech artillery 200->195g tech heavy tank 295->290g
Non Cost Changes
Minor Artillery damage range changed to 65-85 -- average damage is still the same, though the extremes are tighter. Heli Hero Vision increased to 4 (cannot see hidden units) Heavy Tank Hero ground vehicle damage increased from 105 per turn to 108 per turn. Smoke 2 now gives 4 smoke canisters instead of 3
Fixes
fixed 2 heros exploit -- by putting infantry hero in a transport -- not really that useful, but . . fixed moving smoke canisters
Build 307
Surrender bug fixed. Before the fix, you could accept surrender by hitting any key (not good).
Build 306
Duaration of Armor piercing changed from 2 turns to 1 Turn -- I believe the card is still extremely effective even if the duration is cut in half. Most times, all of the enemy units are dead after a1 turn anyway. We will still be watching this card.
Airborne Ranger damage increased from 50% to 100%. It never was supposed to be 50%.
