Artillery Post Range lowered from 3500 to 3000
Artillery Post Damaged lowered from 300 to 250

I think if you do this it will be total crap. In the games I had this post had nearly zero effect (this is actually needed because sub has no awnser? ok but you fuck up people who think this is a defense which is worth it);

EMP Quanta cost increased from 100 to 150
EMP Shield damage reduced from 10000 to 2000

I see regeneration being powerful for I think 50quanta? plz patch the bug with it... droneswarm is too expensive (aim EMP125/SWARM150), plz increase the cost of the orbital strike to ~600;

Call Engineer Quanta cost increased from 30 to 50

It is to expensive (aim 25) you should also lower the cost of avatars to 75 (plz consider that you can onehit engs while hades has a bit of a problem...);

#4 increase the turinium lvl to win

at the state now you cannot even make a tech switch in order to rape a defended position before the time has gone... instead lower the crazy ammount of creeps spawning to make it an option on some maps (this drone hive unit makes it difficult to use it as an option);

#5 harassment

plz do not kill any form of harassment in the game we do not have much;

#6 defenses at all are a bit to powerful

I wanna see a cheap building which can handle orbital harassment drops but can be destroyed really fast with hades/punisher (I am looking at your drone bay / annihilator costs (by the way why do you increase the costs of the bay so brutal while you can counter it with one apollo? (I think 2-3 sub aa units if I remember correctly))

#7 dropship

we need a dropship;

#8 are this really all change or do we have more changes?;

#9 I do not even remember the name of the unit, it was so bad but it can build mini turrets which are not helpful at all, plz do something with it;

#10 WASD scrolling

can we have hotkeys?;

#11 performance on some maps is broken (vega for example (the blue ones (really horrible (really (even with a fury (with a fury x as well(maybe not on 1080p but who likes 1080p?))))));

#12 harvesters are too easy to kill in comparison to phc equivalent;

Artillery Post Range lowered from 3500 to 3000

Artillery Post Damaged lowered from 300 to 250

I agree, arty posts are already crap, but are required to counter small armies of destructors

EMP was always underused and heavily countered by regeneration, the nerf was unnecesary
