changedIncreased ore mine and drill production from +15 to +20 per attack
changedIncreased gold earned in early attacks from 50 to 100, increasing to a max of 150 by attack 20 (note that you still earn additional gold from collecting coins off dead enemies)
changedGoblock Elites now reduce 90% of attack damage from the front, with damage capped at a max of 10% of their starting hp (e.g. even the most powerful attacks will require 10 hits to kill them from the front). Also, the angle of incoming attacks that gets blocked by their shields has been reduced, allowing more attacks that originate from higher up and from the side to hit with full damage. The hit test for attacks from your character is much more accurate now, allowing attacks that aren't aimed directly at their shields to hit with full damage. They are now much easier to take out with accurate aiming or a powerful defense (even if your turrets attack their shields), and as such, their native armor has been increased to level 2. We appreciate all the feedback and will keep monitoring this unit for balance.
