We released an update today.

Balance:

  • Vortigaunt Den requires Munition Depot + Triage center
  • Vortigaunts: Buffed Dispel damage and stun chance, increased dispel cast animation time by x2.
  • Vortigaunt price increased to 70/55
  • Partisan molotov health reduced from 140 to 100;
  • Changed antlions from suicide antlions to regular antlions. Antlion count per Vortigaunt increased to 3 (from 2);
  • Dog deals more damage to Synths;
  • Dog now stuns striders and deals more damage to them with his Jump;
  • Mechanical Factory requires a Garrison
  • Stink bomb duration reduced to 1 second (from 5)
  • Stink bomb effect duration increased from 0.1 secs to 3.0 secs.
  • Strider damage increased from 4 to 6.
  • Pulse damage -> Synth rescaled from 1.0 to 2.0 (Thus, the tier 2 AR2 units now deal full damage to synth units), Combine Elites remain unaffected however.

Maps:

  • hlw_city16 is now (finally) out. Enjoy :)

Effects:

  • Updated c4 explosion effect (looks fancy now);
  • Updated nuke effect (also looks fancy now);

Units:

  • Added death sounds to rebels, citizens, vortigaunts, metrocops
  • Added voice lines for loyal citizens, different from Rebels
  • Added hurt sounds for units - they have a chance to make pain sounds when hurt
  • Added warning sound for rebel flamer when he gets shot in the back. He yells "Run for your life!" or "No, nooo!" when that happens.

Fixed:

  • Fixed the issue with rebel flamer standing still after getting shot in the back. The flamer was supposed to explode and die. This is fixed now.

Music:

  • Added a new main menu track by YIA. YIA - Dangerous Streets. Both original and the new track play in the main menu randomly.

  • Added Czech translations by PsychoParek.
