IMPROVEMENTS

• We’ve taken the time to have a look at each Bricktron class in the game, and tweak them to clarify their intended role. Here are the sweet deets:
• Archer : The archer is a scout and a harasser. You will notice he has shorter range than before, does less damage, but fires a little faster and moves faster than some other Bricktron classes.
• Halberdier : The halberdier is a fast moving melee fighter. He now moves significantly faster and will be able to catch up to any other unit. He also does quite a bit more damage.
• Knight : The knight is now even tankier than before, with a bit more health and increased projectile resistance when he still has armor. He can now block projectiles from any angle in defense mode. Armor will now go down faster against melee and explosion damage though, but will start to regenerate faster when out of combat. He’s also a tad slower.
• Arbalist : The arbalist is a though, close range damage dealer. He has shorter range, he’s a bit slower and his damage has been significantly reduced, as he was decidedly too powerful. His melee damage has been increased as it is more likely he’ll end up brawling
• Artificer : The artificer is a supporting healer. He now has less range to fit with other ranged unit changes, and a little less movement speed.
• Alchemist : The alchemist is a demolition unit. Bombs are now cheaper to craft, and his explosions now deal extra damage to a knight’s armor. He has a little less range.
• Redesigned two of Plateau Mont-Royal’s spawn points to balance them out.
• Corruptrons in Conquest will now spawn on only two crystals, instead of half the map, and spread form there. They will defend the starting two crystals with a larger force, and will leave less Corruptrons on the others, making it easier to gain territory for the player, but harder to quickly wipe the map.
• The delay before all Bricktrons start to regenerate health has been decreased, and they regenerate faster.
• Line of sight no longer depends on map size, instead it is set at a fixed 50 voxels.
• Removed projectile inaccuracy for units and increased projectile speed to minimize misses.
• Projectile range no longer depends on the height difference between shooter and target.
• Wards are now more resistant to ranged attacks, excluding explosions.
• Bear traps now do more damage.
• Workers do slightly more damage.
• Biftron will now knockback units with every hit instead of having a 30% chance. It’s attack speed is now slower.
• Warlock’s ranged attack does more damage.
• Toolrack costs 3 planks instead of 6.
• Stockpile costs 1 plank instead of 2.
• Each plant voxel now contains 2 plant ressources instead of 1.
• Blueprints are much easier to see on snow now.
• Improved readability of the mini-map by adding some drop shadow under mountain lines.
• You can now see planks on top of chopping blocks.
• Added several new music tracks.
• Several enhancements to the environmental sounds.
