Thanks.

I'm no hardcore player of this game, but perhaps it would be better if each HQ factory had some sort of a command radius or limit to the factories it can support. Hiding one solitary HQ factory away somewhere whilst being able to reproduce much cheaper support factories doesn't seem quite right to me.

Everything from the engi mod is an interesting change from before (though I do feel it was unnecessary).

No, 3627 is a quick fix for the hive bug (crashing the game).

As it's a fix for a fix, I did not republished a change log.

Wait a second...
Next to the fact that its tagged wrong on the news page (its tagged as 3616: http://www.faforever.com/?tag=3616 ), Ingame (Main Menu) it shows 3627.

Probaly some Numbers mixed up?

You mean this website? http://www.faforever.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

3623 doesn't mention anything about the spiderbot stealth radius or sniper bot changes.

so far i have basically not seen any change from engimod (except in very late lategame maybe)
the reason is that most of the time i simply cant support several t2 factories and rather have a few engies around them so i can change my buildpower wuickly.
and if i have the eco to support 3-4+ t2 factories i just go t3 most of the time.

I didn't mean the first factory, I meant the overall army composition. Where before one factory would be mixing in t2 units with the t1 army, now it seems easier to convert most of the army to t2. In any case I don't care, I've seen enough t1 to last me a lifetime anyway.

Where can I find the changelog? (And all future changelogs for that matter).

It really change nothing to the tech timing.

On the other hand, it made no sense that it was always more efficient to only have one higher tech building producing everything with an army of worker ants assisting.

Anyway thanks for the link, would you mind linking me to the actual balance changes? Like the range of sniper bots being increased e.t.c. The changelog.

You probably mention the engy Redesign. It was a mod which is now implemented in the normal Verison.
You can find all the things here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3015
Including some nice and selfexplaining grafics.

EDIT: And actually you can kepp playing like before, it just offer an additional (mass-equal) option about how you spam higher-tech units.

I just caught on to one of praisegugleourmaster's shoutcasts on youtube, between an aeon player and a cybran player. Apparently there's a new patch which among other things, has altered the way engineers and factories work. From what I've seen I'm not sure I like it, but I would like to read more into it before deciding whether its for me.

Could someone point me to where the changes are listed, as well as the effects on the game in practical terms. I'd be especially interested in knowing the reasons why, should a good case be made it may win me over despite the shoutcaster's clear disappointment in it.

(The shoutcaster mentioned that your database may be incorrect as well, but I would not know).
