Community Mod for Release 28: Boiorix

[Arup]

0ad-community-mod-0282-3tkp.zip.

With this version, the goal was to tackle some relatively simple balance changes, some of which have been in high demand. 

 

• Fanatics HP, hack damage, and hack armor reduced.
• Persian immortal HP reduced (both melee and ranged), ranged version damage and accuracy were reduced.
• Heroes may no longer be used to "bait" enemy units, as Heroes are removed from the preferred target class for all units.
• Champion cavalry and ranged champion cavalry HP reduced from 260->220 and from 220->200, but wood and metal prices were reduced.
• This, combined with speed reduction is intended to bring their population efficiency closer to infantry champions.
• Cavalry speed was reduced by 15%.
• Scout ship counter damage vs ships reduced from 3x to 2.5x, range reduced, and price increased from 50f 50w to 50f 100w.
• Foundation pierce armor increased from 10 to 20. (Foundations take 66% less damage from pierce attacks).
• Capture balance:

1. Civic center capture points increased from 2500 to 3500.
2. Fortress increased from 4000 to 8000.
3. "Sentries" tower upgrade now also increases tower capture points by 50%.
4. "Professional garrisons" fortress upgrade now also doubles fortress capture points.
5. Scipio's Capture attack aura removed.

• Germans buffs:

1. Champion axeman unit metal cost reduced from 100 to 80.
2. Seeress damage aura range increased from 15 to 20.
3. Seeress armor increased from 2->3 hack armor and 4->6 pierce armor

Hey @Arup, is this the same version as the one in mod downloader? Or you've made some changes? I'm confused

I'm pretty sure it is from the main community mod discussion. There are plenty of differences since I didn't think it was necessary to use the same amount of detail.
