I also agree with the majority of posters here that buffing tanks defense strength is not the way to go as it's already difficult enough to do damage to tanks unless you're using another tank, aquatic, or long range artillery unit.

I also think that one poster was wise to point out that AP negates the Plasma's Tank defense strength. As it stands now, I think most are in agreement that the PT is slightly underpowered compared to the other tanks.

I'm still not sure why raising the price of blasters has not been given any consideration. By raising their cost relative to all other units, the other units will become more attractive by comparison while they still retain their ability to do damage to GH.

Looks like the Salamander change is going in. I know it was intended for TvK but will also impact TvS and TvT. I suspect Mantisse might become more popular vs Speeders now. Maybe I'll be able to build a useless Fuze now too, lol.

When that time someone used Mantisse as a new Speeder when I got my Marauders ready to wreck house

  dr. pepper wrote:Please don't mistakenly believe I think Mantisse will dominate now. They'll still be taken down quite easily by ground light in range among many other units. I'm just curious about how the change will impact Mantisse vs. Speeder. A ground heavy unit "should" win vs an Amphibian in most cases. With this new change, I can see the Mantisse trading quite well. Interestingly enough, both units cost the same.

That's what someone else did

I asked a question if this unit match-up (Mantisse vs. Speeder) was considered as well. Considering my personal opinion that Fuzes suck by comparison, I'm not as concerned about Fuze vs. Speeder. I haven't seen anyone address this question or provide any feedback.

Come on guys, there should be at least one basic unit that can handle it easily, like with all the other units.

Every unit has a counter part, except the guardian.

ANYTHING that has a lower price or a longer range than it is its counter, believe it or not. Shorter range, higher price and inability to repair make guardian a unit that you need to consider extremely carefully before you build one.
