Remove the Demo General's Rocket Buggy, and replace it with the BRDM-1


This doesn't make sense nor does it seem logical. If a Demo player is up against a Laser player then Rocket buggies are the only way to break through his PDL web. The BRDM fires slowly and has to reload after about 5-6 shots which makes it really impractical. If anything, a small price decrease to the buggies could work.

QUOTE
Make the TOPOL Missile resistant or immune to PDL


Doesn't need to be immune. It needs to be counterable afterall.

Give Armour General a better AA Solution


You'll need to elaborate on this, I find that Gladiators are good enough at anti air.

Gladiators may pack a punch, but his other AA options suffer noticably, which is kinda not the point since a weapon that can hit only one type of target should be more efficient than one that can hit multiple types of targets. Exchange versatility for firepower or vice-versa.

I didn't think it would make sense either, but someone suggested it to me, so I put it in the thread as a random idea.


I'm not so sure about PDLs attacking it however, since the PDLs seem to attack the missile when it is at its highest point. I will see what I can do about that however.


Gladiators may be good, but Blue Arrow Defenders and Phalanx Defenses are pretty bad. Gladiators also sometimes have trouble with heavily armoured aircraft and fast aircraft. Most likely I would increase the accuracy of the Phalanx, and buff the Blue Arrow Defender. Maybe also see about giving either a rate of fire boost or a different weapon type for the Gladiator.

Kassad just needs something better against USA, since pretty much all of his antitank is missile he needs something against Avengers. This is pretty much common with all GLA generals as one Avenger can neuter two heavy artillery.

For Townes, the tanks are fine, the Stealth Laser Bomber could use a bit of a range decrease or something, as that is actually his best unit. As for the PDL, that is mainly again a GLA issue, they just need something that doesn't get hard countered by the Avenger.

Besides that tbh, Shockwave is mostly fine. Probably forgotten one or two other things as I haven't played in forever as I've been inundated with work for a year now, but from what I remember, most games were pretty enjoyable, even those with the niggling issues.

Kassad just needs something better against USA, since pretty much all of his antitank is missile he needs something against Avengers. This is pretty much common with all GLA generals as one Avenger can neuter two heavy artillery.

For Townes, the tanks are fine, the Stealth Laser Bomber could use a bit of a range decrease or something, as that is actually his best unit. As for the PDL, that is mainly again a GLA issue, they just need something that doesn't get hard countered by the Avenger.

Besides that tbh, Shockwave is mostly fine. Probably forgotten one or two other things as I haven't played in forever as I've been inundated with work for a year now, but from what I remember, most games were pretty enjoyable, even those with the niggling issues.

Probably an Alternate Chameleon Tank for Kassad would be best. Other generals are not so much of a problem because they can attack head-on. Kassad is really the only critical problem.

I'll see about the Range Decrease for Stealth Bombers, but there is a large problem with Laser Tanks. When un-upgraded, they can melt an army 1.5 their size, which was balanced in ZH when the Laser General had no Artillery. Then, when upgraded, they can melt an army twice their size. I and several others feel this is a large balance issue.

Do you have any plans to make changes to the GLA Savage General's Quad Tank?

Possibly. I do know that they are a problem, but testing will decide what they really need.

I have decided to take a break from balancing units, and instead focus on fixing and improving some General Challenges. The first one I am working on is Granger's.

Granger's Map:
Added a Helipad to Granger's Base
Added a War Factory to Granger's Base
Added a second Bridge to the player's base, kind of like DeeZire.
Improved the first Paradrop
Granger will now attack with tanks and artillery when needed.
The Combat Chinook will no longer spawn in. It is built at the Helipad
The Reinforcements from Olympia are stronger now

Can we fix the whole
*out of power by default* thing too? and have paradrops and airstrikes constant rather then a one time thing?
Oh and for them to capture the techbuidings?

The out of power issue was fixed in Shockwave 1.1. Just to be safe though, I added four powerplants.

The paradrops will not be made constant. You will see why when I release it. I may make the planes stronger though.

They already capture the tech buildings... at least according to the scripts in the map. I'll debug it though and see what is wrong.
EDIT: They only capture it when you attempt to capture the tech buildings. I may make Granger own them by default to support this.

Make enemies? The worst thing that will happen is that people who disagree won't use your patch. I think your patch would actually be helpful if not for some ridiculous changes. You should start by ditching the entire "Random Ideas" section as they're horrible.

I have decided to release a preview patch. This patch will only contain fixes. Details in OP.

As I have been easing back into Shockwave again, I have realized that a few of my plans would not work. The proposed laser changes for example were found to have not been needed, except for the PDL drone fix.

I have decided to expand the preview patch somewhat to also contain fixes for certain extremely powerful units such as the Quad Tank and some experimental changes as well. This will give you a taste of what is to come. This should be released tomorrow, depending on what I find.

Here are just a few of the changes I have made so far:

Fixed the Decoy Drone so it no longer runs over infantry and can be force fired upon (I may eventually expand this unit as well)
Stealth RPG Troopers now benefit from Camouflage again.
Armour General Dozer no longer gets stuck

This thing is becoming a victim of feature creep. I'm not giving anymore dates as everytime I announce it, I suddenly see more things to add.

Hi. smile.gif Me and my friends still play Shockwave and we're having a blast. Even after playing it for... I don't know, four years, we're still pretty moderate players. We have waited for a new patch since 1.1, so we're very happy you're doing it, Generalcamo! When do you plan to release your first patch?

I'll play some more games and try to post some balancing suggestions during the fallowing days.

Eventually, really. Right now, I am bogged down by school stuff. When summer approaches, then I will be able to work on this more.

Has this change been implemented ? It would really be good in multiplayer.

==China==
*Move the Nuclear Tanks, Uranium Shells, Nuclear MIGs, etc upgrades from the Nuke Silo to some other structure (like the Propaganda center) - this'd be useful in multiplayer matches where the players have a "no super weapons rule" (since this means a China player would have to build the silo then sell it just for the upgrades) - maybe increase the cost of these upgrades or research times if this causes a balance issue

@The_Hunter

Plagiarism is the most sincere form of admiration. Or wait... biggrin.gif

@Dylan

Well, I don't think that's a good idea as Superweapons/10k is what the game is balanced on. You can always agree not to fire and the 2500 (after selling) is necessary to keep those great upgtades balanced anyway.

The game is balanced towards 10k Unlimited Superweapons. This is not happening.

Could you please find a plausible way to regenerate Fai's infantry squads? Although they are meant to be final push or chokehold units, reinforcing diminished squads is still pretty cumbersome.
