Enjoy

Though not with customization feature, that one is really for UI mod

@FreadyFish You are a legend!
I'll try it out VS Ai first then see if I can get people on discord to try it out in my games.
EDIT: Thank you for adding helpful comments as it really helps me understand the code.

Uh, building templates..?

I agree with the post but idk if it's feasible

Sat scaling is the main thing that really makes them hard to manage.

What if they had a power drain as a limiting factor-? This isn't a major change, just a response to scaling.

Won't break the unit, won't make it unviable, just respond to scaling issue.

@ctrl-k thank you!

Imagine you get vet on the loya after microing it heavily and then it... slows down?

This also happens with cybran mmls. I agree they should be changed to match AOE

Let's bundle the discussion in this topic:

Might be nice to turn the claws off so you can be sure to leave reclaim

In FAF there are already balanced sources of Mass to Energy conversion (Mass Fabricators) and Energy to Mass conversion (Mass Extractors). Sacrifice could use these ratios from those structures (at say the T2 stage) to balance resource conversion per say.

I think that's a good idea to give it +50. It's the kind of subtul buff where you can clearly see the consequences ( the ability to 2-hit sera pgen and mexes). It's clear, and doesn't break much balance imo, mostly cause few people will actually make use of that in games (air players in teamgames, high rated player with good knowledge of the game).

Now, does it NEED a buff right now ? I don't know. Yes the unit feels weaker than other bombers, but Aeon is generally considered to have too many good things going for them atm, so idk if the balance team would be able to justify another aeon buff.

Besides, I have the feeling that the value of 3450 damage was exactly set to avoid the Shocker to 2 hit seraphim T3 Mex and Power. I guess that's part of "seraphim have tanky buildings" in general.

uhhhhhhh mega?

Factory drains 4 mass/sec, most of construction like factories, pgens drain 4 mass/s per 5 BP (1 engie).
In regards of energy, building factories and pgens is expesive, Air factory drains a lot of e, Land factories drains only 20.
In more Detail:
You need 2 mexes + 1 pgen to run t1 factory. You need 1 mex + 4 pgens to run Air fac. You need 2 mex + 2 pgens to build factory per 5 BP (1 engie), 1.5 mex and 1.5 pgen to build a pgen per 5 BP ( 1 engie)
Everything else is too complex for human brain to calculate in real time during the game and so is done by experience by playing hundreds of games.
