Game Version 3810

Bug Fixes

• (#6102) Fix Ahwassa's bomb dealing full damage to ASF.

• (#6106) Fix partially built units not transferring properly in Full Share.

• (#6105) Fix a typo in the script file of the Seraphim Tech 3 Mass Fabricator.

• (#6105) Fix the Seraphim Tech 3 Mass Fabricator's rotators not spinning down when production is disabled.

Balance

• (#6060) Make shields absorb ACU explosions.

  Both mobile and static shields absorb full damage from ACU explosions. For example, this prevents ACU explosions from killing all engineers inside shielded bases/firebases or killing all units in mobile-shielded T2 armies. The structure part of static shields still takes reduced structure damage from ACU explosions.

• (#6073, #6094) Allow Mongoose to fire from transports.

• (#5901) Increase UEF T3 MAA's DPS and damage, and swap its speed with Aeon's T3 MAA.

  • Cougar: DPS: 176 -> 206, Damage per volley: 1200 -> 1400, Speed: 3.3 -> 3.5
  • Redeemer: Speed: 3.5 -> 3.3

  This brings its DPS closer in line with other factions, lets it 3 shot strategic bombers instead of 4 shot, and lets it better escort Titans/Parashields. Redeemer's extra speed wasn't very necessary for its role within Aeon, so it was chosen to be swapped with.

• (#5874) Fine tune the balance of the Tech 2 Navy stage.

  • Uashavoh: T2 Destroyer (XSS0201):
    • AntiTorpedo RateOfFire: 0.26 --> 0.3
  • Salem Class: T2 Destroyer (URS0201):
    • BackUpDistance: 5 --> 10
  • Cooper: T2 Torpedo Boat (XES0102):
    • Health: 1750 --> 2000

• (#5895) After receiving several buffs, the Seraphim Tech 3 Submarine Hunter has become too oppressive, especially in larger formations. These changes aim to bring it back in line, while keeping its identity.

  • Yathsou: T3 Submarine Hunter (XSS0304):
    • Damage: 290 --> 380
    • RateOfFire: 0.25 --> 0.22
    • MuzzleSalvoDelay: 0.7 --> 1
    • MuzzleSalvoSize: 5 --> 4
    • DPS: 363 --> 338
    • Torpedo Defense RateOfFire (x2): 0.15 --> 0.1

• (#6043) The BuildRate and BuildTime stats of all Radars and Sonars are updated to be more streamlined. The build time of Tech 2 Sonars is corrected to ensure it is not longer than that of Tech 3 Sonars. Tech 3 Sonars get their very low build time increased, to compensate for their Tech 2 counterparts being much quicker to build and providing more build power.

  • Tech 1 Radars
    • BuildRate: 14.08 --> 13
  • Tech 2 Radars
    • BuildRate: 21.46 --> 20
    • BuildTime: 845 --> 780
  • Tech 3 Radars
    • BuildTime: 2575 --> 2400
  • Tech 1 Sonars
    • BuildRate: 14.08 --> 13
    • BuildTime: 127.5 --> 125
    • BuildCostEnergy: 1275 --> 1250
  • Tech 2 Sonars
    • BuildRate: 15 --> 20
    • BuildTime: 1680 --> 780
    • BuildTime: 2120 --> 1040 (Seraphim)
  • Tech 3 Sonars
    • BuildTime: 750 --> 1200
    • BuildTime: 900 --> 1400 (Cybran)

• (#6082) The BuildRate and BuildTime stats of several Shield Generators are updated to be more streamlined. The Seraphim Tech 2 Shield Generator gains build power, as it previously had a very low amount. The Aeon Tech 2 Shield Generator loses its build power, as it cannot be upgraded.

  • Tech 2 Shield Generators
    • BuildRate: 13.66 --> 0 (Aeon)
    • BuildRate: 12.98 --> 20 (Seraphim)
    • BuildRate: 19.95 --> 20 (UEF)
  • Tech 3 Shield Generators
    • BuildTime: 5841 --> 5800 (Seraphim)
    • BuildTime: 4988 --> 5000 (UEF)

• (#6104) Reduce TML HP and add a Death Weapon

  • HP: 1500 --> 900
  • Death Weapon
    • Damage: 750
    • AoE (UEF/Aeon/Sera): 2
    • AoE (Cybran): 3

• (#6125) Increase the hitpoints of the Aeon Tech 1 MAA so that it can survive a single bomb from a Seraphim Tech 1 bomber.

  • Thistle: T1 Mobile Anti-Air Gun (UAL0104):
    • MaxHealth: 250 --> 265

• (#6127) Allow the Selen to activate its cloak more quickly and increase the vision and radar radius it retains after cloaking itself.

  • Selen: T1 Combat Scout (XSL0101):
    • StealthWaitTime: 3 --> 1.5
    • VisionRadius while stealthed/cloaked: 0.6 --> 0.8
    • RadarRadius while stealthed/cloaked: 0.6 --> 0.8

Features

• (#6079) Make various structures easier to place to help with base building.
  • All Tech 3 Power Generators, Tech 3 Mass Fabricators, Tech 3 Artilleries, Shield Structures, Land Factories and Air Factories:
    • MaxGroundVariation: 1.0 --> 1.1
  • All Game Enders except for the Scathis:
    • MaxGroundVariation: 1.0 --> 1.2
