New version online (november 2012)!

[pip]

The version, build 35, is now online for you try out.

Also note that the Nomads database (http://fa-nomads.com/db2/) is now up to date, but the code for the automatic database is not as good as the one in FAF, so check this one out for the default factions units stats.

Technical Changelog:
- New reclaim fx
- Intel probe for Nomad ACU provides artillery support
- Air scout now has a radar and sonar overlay
- Nomads custom colours were removed to prevent issues in games played without the Nomads faction enabled.

Known issues:
- Artillery support with intel probe doesn't display the usual fx
- air scout appears first in the air factory build menu

Build 35 balance changelog:
General overview:
- ACU / SCU rate of fire is improved, so is their sniper upgrade.
- T1 is buffed through slightly more resistant t1 tank, easier to use sniper tanks, better mobile AA/artillery. However, the Light tank is easier to hit (higher hitbox) but can still avoid shots sideways.
- Adjustments were made to walls and t1 pd to enable all factions to somehow damage a walled t1 pd with t1 tanks (from certain angles) and to allow Nomads tanks to do the same.
- T2 is more specialized : Fast tank with high rate of fire and high speed but low HP, heavy tank with more HP, slow speed and rate of fire.
- T4 Comet AA weapon slightly buffed
- T4 Bullfrog heavily buffed
