V1.5.7.1

Balance

Defender:

• Cost 120 → 100 (was 80 previously)

New unit: Limpet, an Amphibious Bomb. Unlike other bombs this unit does not cloak (in any case, cloak is disabled underwater). It has higher health and a large range to compensate.

• Cost: 180
• Health: 400
• Speed: 117 e/s
• Damage: 150 normal, 1500 slow. Maximum slow persists for up to 5 seconds.
• Damage radius: 250

Reef:

• Cost: 3500 → 3000

Reef's tacnuke replaced with disarm missile:

• Cost 600 → 150
• Stockpile time 60 → 30
• Damage: 15000 disarm for a maximum of 10 seconds
• Range: 3000
• Damage radius: 140

Ronin:

• Health: 3000 → 2500
• Reload time: 4 → 5 (Effective DPS 150 → 120)
• Weapon velocity: 400 → 350
• Turret traverse rate 150 → 50

Siren:

• Sonic gun range: 380 → 340

Shogun:

• Cost: 3800 → 4000

Moderator:

• Maximum slow persists for up to 2 seconds.

Claymore:

• Health 1350 → 1650
• Projectile is planted for two seconds before moving (in sea) or exploding (on land).

SLAM rocket:

• Cost 200 → 150m

Gauss turret:

• No longer overshoots.
• Reduced projectile speed by 45%.

Zombies are no longer immune to slow damage. The 50% zombie slowdown is applied independently so now slow damage against zombies can cause them to move at 25% the speed of a normal unit.

• Fixed a bug which prevented Reef and Bantha from moving close enough to their target.
