Effects of the veterancy change

[FunkOff]

Okay, so the new veterancy change is essentially this:
1. All units assigned a value based on their tech level. 1/5/10 for T1/2/3 units.
2. When killed, units give this value of points, rather than 1.

One would reasonably anticipate that units who's veterancy values increased, would be nerfed, and those who usually gain from vet, would be buffed.

This is what happened:
1. T2/T3 is made riskier, because these units increase enemy vet more than before.
2. Larger units that can gain vet, like ACUs and Experimentals, now gain vet much more quickly when fighting T2 or T3 units (and already gained very quickly when fighting T1).

So the new veterancy has buffed experimentals, which were plenty strong already, and nerfed T2-T3 units, which were underpowered.

Sounds like the values need to be more like 1/2/4 or something along those lines. This would bring things more in line with the rate of vet as before. But T2/T3 units need their own separate buff to get them on the same playing field as T4s

T2/t3 don't need buffs. T4 just needs a nerfbat swing for its build time.

If you can build a higher tier unit faster then a lower tier unit, why bother with the lower ones?

Sounds good to me. How about 1/1/1, I think that would make the system much better.

Then all this talk about changing OC in other threads can go away.

Ok. I now regret to have re-open this forum.

There is a balance forum for real discussions about the balance. If you want to discuss changes for it, it's the right place to do it, not here. This is the last warning.

This forum is only about making cybran ACU flying and making scout building nukes.
