Re: Patch 2.3.1 (Tentative balance changelog preview)
ist need that burst because technically they only do 32 dps where as shoota boys do 35 and have 20% more model hp and gus have 40 dps In addition to what crew said, let's keep in mind you're comparing a 210 req utility squad with 50 sight range and 5.5 move speed to the ork/eldar primary shooty uni...

Re: Patch 2.3.1 (Tentative balance changelog preview)
TBH I think you guys are undervaluing a charge attack. Engaging strikes in melee is going to be a lot more risky now that they will be able to chase retreating stuff down with decent FotM, then when they get out of charge range, go back to shooting at ~40 dps. They will be able to follow up special ...

Re: Patch 2.3.1 (Tentative balance changelog preview)
TBH I can see melee charge strike squads being a problem for a lot of factions/commanders. I already have no idea how to win the first engagement as TM vs brocap and can end up kiting back to my base turrets if the GK decides to get aggressive. Kiting isn't going to be an option anymore if strikes h...

Re: 2P Imperial Plaza - Updated
Regarding the size, I'm thinking about cutting out the ashy looking bits in the top and lower right since there is no reason to go over there except to make sneaky eldar gates (see X's on image below). I'm not sure how I could overall make the map smaller... perhaps by pushing the bases a bit closer...

Runes of Reaping buffs sound bonkers I think. Doombringer isn't power melee. The indicator suggests that it is in fact power_melee The "fist with an outline" is supposed to indicate "strong" or "upgraded" melee - it just so happens that a lot of those upgrades tend to ...

Re: 2P Imperial Plaza - Updated
Anyone have comments/critiques of the map? Even if you've never played it, telling me why you don't want to could be of help.
I've got the itch to do some mapping and I'm thinking about converting this into a 2v2 map and/or starting a new 3v3 from scratch.

And it's going to keep the free reinforcements as well, apparently. It may not be quite as good as it sounds because it isn't easy getting 100 red in T1 without fielding a large army in the first place, in which case you probably won't want yet another T1 squad. I'll be interested in seeing how it p...

Re: Patch 2.3.1 (Tentative balance changelog preview)
I'm always surprised how quickly HWT/havoc autocannons deplete my TM's health, even in cover. I guess it ignores cover because it's an AoE weapon?
IMO the only thing keeping the setup team autocannons in check is how eminently killable they are.

Megarumblah will stun enemy vehicles. The codex says "Each Stikkbomma throws a grenade that stuns infantry for 7 seconds and vehicles or monstrous creatures for 3 seconds in radius 7. Maximum range 60, minimum range 20, cooldown 30 seconds." It's hard to take advantage of a 3-4 second stun...

I would like to request that the mega boomshot for both the looted tank and the battlewagon be given a little arc as well, because both these abilities clip terrain even worse than pdev shots (particularly the looted tank).

Re: orcz
I agree that the mek is a situational setup counter in T1. If your opponent is prepared for it they can kill the mek very quickly by posting a high dps melee squad nearby or combining a knockback source with a lot of ranged dps. Some wargears will really mess him up if you try teleporting in, like t...

Re: Sniper Rework - WIP
Will setup/teardown times remain the same?
I'll be curious to see how this plays out. Snipers will do roughly the same damage per shot to commanders but fire much faster. This could have some interesting implications for the squishier ones like apo and mek.
