changes in the beta?

[suicideidiot123]

ok im playing the beta now and ive seen some things

i like how the shodows seem much more toned down...they dont bog down my lappy anymore

is the flamer supposed to have rapidfire? it was goin nuts!!! i like it though it makes me want to build them a lot more.

im gonna keep playing and see what else i find

Flamers fire rate is increased, yes.

That alone sounds like a big improvement to the game balance.

seems as though the ai doesnt get LOTS of units and power even on easy

and are the shodows and effects toned down a tad or is it just me?

This is all true. Stock AI is more effective, cheats less. It is a bit more interactive: try typing ", help" or just "help" (w/o quotation marks) when your base is in trouble.

We are also tweaking the balance and applying rock-paper-scissors wherever it is possible.

great! the problems i had were all caused by massive cheating by the ai
