Update 1.3.1 - Balance Update and Bug Fixes

[ Edited ]
Community Manager (retired)

Commander,
In this update, we addressed a number of unit balance changes, bug fixes, and adjusted the maps in Tiberium League

 

GENERAL META FOR UNITS
- Added a new speed level: Faster
- Units that were already this speed, such as the Orca, now properly display this speed

 

UNIT BALANCE CHANGES
GDI
APC
“Brings the APC damage levels higher than the Rhino, making it more useful as it tanks enemy damage.”
- Damage to Aircraft increased to 90 (was 80)
- Damage to Infantry increased to 90 (was 80)
- Attack Speed increased to 0.85s (was 0.9s)

 

Drone Swarm
“Makes Drone Swarms faster and stronger at the expense of health.”
- Damage to Infantry increased to 30 (was 20)
- Health decreased to 220 (was 284)
- Speed increased to Faster (was Fast)

 

Lt. Strongarm Turret
“Benefits current and upcoming stealthed units to maintain infantry units’ role as Stealth Detectors.”
- Stealth detection removed

 

Mammoth Tank
“Improves Mammoth Tank’s timing and usability.”
- Cost decreased to 230 (was 250)
- Turret turn speed increased to 200 (was 100)

 

MG Squad
“Usability improvement.”
- Turn speed increased to 200 (was 120)

 

Orca
“The Orca was having difficulty dealing with Nod units like Attack Bikes, but it was very capable against Pitbulls from GDI. This equalizes Orca’s effectiveness into both factions.”
- Missiles increased to 4 (was 2)
- Damage decreased to 510 (was 1020)

 

Predator Tank
“This will solve issues where training had a significant impact on the outcome of certain matchups. Everything will feel the same at equal levels.”
- Health decreased to 2910 (was 3000)

 

Shockwave Squad
“Shockwaves are becoming too dominant as a starting unit. This will keep a lot of early game relationships the same, but give their hard counters an easier time dealing with them.”
- Health decreased to 400 (was 465)
- Damage increased to 150 (was 136)

 

War Dogs
“Makes extra chip damage matter more when dealing with War Dogs since members will be barely surviving an attack from Missile Squads or Laser Troopers.”
- Speed decreased to Faster (was Fastest)
- Health decreased to 300 (was 400)

 

Wolverine
“Wolverine damage is now more aligned to its specialties”
- Damage to Vehicles decreased to 15 (was 25)

 

Zone Troopers
“The decreased structure damage was a band-aid for not having strong early-game infantry counters. With the addition of Shockwaves and Flame Troopers, we will be removing their training weights”.
- Structure damage increased to 620 (was 100)

 

Nod
Avatar
“Raising the cost to match its GDI counterpart.”
- Cost increased to 230 (was 220)

 

Basilisk
“This unit had incredible damage and range. We are taking away some of its survivability so it’s a bit more counterable.”
- Health decreased to 2500 (was 3000)

 

Confessors
“Confessors damage is now more aligned to its specialties as well as decreasing its cost to make it easier to bring in tandem with other infantry”
- Damage to Vehicles decreased to 15 (was 30)
- Damage to Infantry and Aircraft increased to 40 (was 30)
- Cost decreased to 100 (was 110)

 

Cyborgs
“Cyborgs will now do standard damage to structures as well”
- Structure damage increased to 400 (was 100)

 

Flame Troopers
“Flame Troopers are becoming too dominant as a starting unit. This will keep a lot of early game relationships the same, but give their hard counters an easier time dealing with them.”
- Health decreased to 400 (was 465)
- Damage increased to 75 (was 68)

 

Kane’s Obelisk of Light
“Benefits current and upcoming stealthed units to maintain infantry units’ role as Stealth Detectors.”
- Stealth detection removed

“This is just to fix some level difference issues.”
- Health increased to 1570 (was 1500)
- Damage to Vehicles increased to 2040 (was 2000)

Scorpion Tank
“Health change to reduce frustrating stat variance in some instances.”
- Health decreased to 2325 (was 2400)

 

Widowmaker
“This will bring the Widowmaker in line with its GDI counterpart while also leaning into its specialties..”
- Cost decreased to 80 (was 90)
- Damage to Vehicles decreased to 50 (was 65)

With the February season reset, we have updated the maps available in Tiberium League:
- Slashed Field

everyone whined and complained about level advantages and the level caps not applying. Redwood fixes this with league resets and everyone says level caps screw them over. Well are level advantages good or not, make up your minds! xD

No. Rocket/laser vs dogs interaction is the exact same. HOWEVER, if you have a rifle squad tickling the dogs at the same time as the rockets, they will 1 shot them now.
