Shredder
Napalm Lobber
Pounder
Still to be added:
Railgun
Detection Tower
Shield Generator
AOE MT
What's new that didn't make the headlines?
Well... many things:
Additions:
Flamethrower tank called (Dragon Tank), C&Cg players will love this one.
Minimap has now been added to Cubic Annihilation.
Commander Respawn: If your commander dies, you can now respawn him back onto the battlefield.
- New Ping SystemPing directly onto the battlefield with the new SC2-inspired ping system.
UI refresh, all ui and fonts have been improved.
A new type of defence, called a"Boosting Tower", boosts a single defence or building (Super cool).
Removed Boombike, dealing damage to surrounding friendly units such as other boombikes when it died.
2 New fun and easy 3v3 maps added: - Frosty Lane: A simple frost map where teams are close together, and there are 2 lines to each enemy base. - Fields: A nice open forest map with large spaces and cool ways to go around terrain.
Quickly select all for each production building type.
You no longer need resources to switch or select a building.
The game can no longer start if there are not at least 1 bot or another player.
Added player stats after each game, so you can get an idea of what u did.
Selling damaged buildings now gives you less cubic back, so if a building is only at 40% hp, it'll only give back 40% of the spent resources.
Loadout Presets that you can switch to if you're unsure what to pick.
Units now follow the Carrier when ordered to go inside; this was an issue before, causing loading and unloading to feel odd and not correct.
Lowered the range of the Humvee attack so units inside can fire when the Humvee is attack-moving.
YEAH!!! Balance Changes, here we come!:
Garrison:
- HunterDamage vs "Buildings" increased from 10 to 18 .
Factory:
- HumveeAttack range decreased from 18 to 15 .
- HumveeAttack reload decreased from 1.5s to 0.75s .
- FuryAttack reload decreased from 1.5s to 1.15s .
- Combat BikeHP increased from 90 to 100 .
Hoverpad:

- HowlerDamage vs "Heaver" increased from 10 to 13 .
Shipyard:
- EchoDamage of Torpedo attack increased from 25 to 100.
- EchoDamage vs "Heavy" of Torpedo attack increased from 50 to 200.
- EchoSpeed of Torpedo projectile increased from 10 to 13 .
- EchoMovement speed increased from 5 to 8 .
- BomberBuild time decreased from 15s to 7s.
- FighterBuild time decreased from 15s to 7s.
Other Balance Changes:
Bunker: Units inside now get a flat +2 attack range.
Commander: Flame Gun now uses the flame mechanic.
- CommanderSniper Rifle Attack reload decreased from 3.5s to 2s .
Special thanks to MrTBSC for helping out with balance testing.
So... A few new items have been added to the loadout:
Dragon Tank - Factory
Projects a sweeping stream of flame that damages all units in a line. The rotating turret spreads fire in a wide arc, effective against groups.
Boosting Tower - Defence
Boosts a single nearby defence or production building with powerful stat bonuses.
Bug Fixes...
The shipyard build bug is fixed.
Fixed a bug causing a small window to upgrade the HQ again after the upgrade was completed.
Fixed a bug where if the commander was destroyed and there were still ghost buildings, it wouldn't clean those up and give back resources.
Fixed a bug causing units inside the haulier to get pushed off when the haulier travelled on water.
Fixed a bug causing the commander to jitter if he was building and attacking at the same time.
Removed battle warning when a building is sold, upgraded, or cancelled.
Removed lag when music changes in-game.
So I have NO idea why you're down here, but go play the update, like for real, go PLAY it!
Good luck on the battlefield, Cubic Annihilators!
