Build #: 22.3062
Fixes
- Clarified Ability trait text - it does not ignore Shields (so for instance Empire Doomsayer is working correctly if she targets a unit with a Shield and the Shield is removed rather than the ally taking damage).
- Destroyed vehicles should no longer play any kind of attack FX as they die.
Balance Changes
- Alliance MG42 Section Move cost reduced to 1 from 2 (is no longer Slow). The 2MP move cost made this awkward to use in the intended early game role.
- Alliance Heavy Recon Panhard Cost reduced to 1 from 3. Health reduced to 2 from 3. Intimidate reduced to -1 from -2.
- Alliance Sturmtiger AVRE Cost reduced to 3 from 6. Health reduced to 3 from 7. Move cost reduced to 1 from 2 (no longer Slow). No longer has Advance Deploy. Intimidate increased to -2 from -1. A slow, low damage unit with short range was often of limited use later in the game, and the Intimidate (-1) was less likely to be useful against more powerful mid-game enemies. It’s now cheaper to use earlier on. The adjustments to the Heavy Recon Panhard make it the cheaper, earlier Intimidator (and provide Alliance another much needed 1MP card), while the Sturmtiger AVRE is now close to the role the Heavy Recon Panhard had before, but with the ability to attack.
- Alliance Afrika Korps Cost reduced to 2 from 3.
- Alliance Panhard Cost reduced to 2 from 3.
- Alliance Panzergrenadiers Cost increased to 6 from 5. Attack increased to 2 from 1. Can now move diagonally.
- Alliance Desert Rats Move reduced to 1 from 2, Range increased to 2 from 1.
- Alliance Rearguard Cost reduced to 4 from 5. Needed a little boost.
- Empire Treetop Sniper Move cost increased to 2 from 1 (is now Slow). No longer draw a card when killed. For a 3MP card, Range 2 combined with a Shield and Anti-Organic makes it extremely powerful early on. It maintains this power, but will now cost more to manoeuvre around the board. The card draw was simply unnecessary to the main function of the unit.
