Balance Changes
Battle Drone
Battle Drone's adaptive system class perk has some new perks and a new order to them:
Probe Swarm — Spawns 10 probes at the start of combat.
Biodiesel Flamethrower — Equips a flamethrower that gains +10 damage per food item.
Reinforced Frame — Increases maximum health by 50%.
Explosive Drone Cloud — Spawns 5 explosive drones at the start of combat.
Micro Rocket Barrage — Launches 4 micro missiles for every 10 Accuracy.
Long-Range Sensors — Increases attack range by 15%.
Drone Swarm — Spawns 3 sentry drones at the start of combat.
Proximity Mine — Periodically deploys proximity mines.
Nano Repair — Repairs 2.5% of armor decay per second.
Explosive Drone Replicator — Deploys explosive drones that chase enemies.
Drone Blaster — Equips a high-powered drone blaster.
Targeting Computer — Grants +30 Accuracy.
Sniper Drone — Spawns a sniper drone at the start of combat.
Arc Cannon — Equips a chaining arc cannon.
Overshield — Starts combat with Barrier equal to 10 times maximum health.
Protection System — Periodically shields the unit and nearby allies.
Mortar System — Equips a long-range mortar.
Heal Drone System — Equips a healing beam.
Environment Control — Grants +30 Resistance.
Reactive Plating — Increases armor by 50%.
Currently planning on more adaptive systems for the battle drone in the future. If you go beyond these 20 it will wrap and give double the effect such that 21 will spawn a pod of 10 level 2 Probes.
Battle drone primary weapon range reduced from 34 -> 26. This is so most of it's additional weapon systems will activate instead of just being outside of reach.
Chicken
The number of revenge chickens that can spawn is now 5 per level. The revenge chickens however can use all item based weapons and upgrades that the main chicken has access to.
The chickens summoned on revenge now are labeled as enraged chickens and have a different icon.
enraged chickens land quicker.
enraged chickens no longer despawn after a given time and will fight until combat is finished,
Drone Operator
Drone operator class perk has been reworked.
Drone operator now summons robot units based on the level of the drone operator.
Each robotic item the drone operator has will increase the experience of these robot summons.
Drone operator primary weapon RPM 12 -> 8, damage 22 -> 32, armor pen removed
War Camel
War Camel class perk reworked: On deploy trigger the deploy ability of adjacent units.
War Camel now shoots missiles in addition to its regular guns.
Mortar & Anti Tank
Mortar and Anti Tank switched class perks.
Anti tank weapon changed to 200 base damage, 300 AP, 20 RPM. This brings it more inline with combat focused units of the same tier since this is more of a single target unit.
Giant Crab
Class perk changed from trigger at start of turn to trigger on deploy, amount changed from 33% -> 50% more health
Book of Judgement
increased damage from 200 -> 300
Shotguns and Catapults
All shotguns and catapults got a 50% increase in effective DPS. This brings the weapons more inline given the lower accuracy
Over Leveling
It is now possible to get a level 7 unit if you merge to level 5 units that are almost level 6.
Bugfixes
Fixed MVP screen forgetting about units that died early in combat
Fixed invisible chicken bug
Fixed negative health on enraged chickens
Fixed life link with spirit wolf causing party wipe due to self explosive damage
Fixed preview for wolf faction units sometimes having weird animations
Fixed Book of Judgement weapon thinking that a living unit is defeated
