When I started in September 2012, you had to have a score of 1700+ to vote on a map and you had to play a map before you could vote on it.
I strongly favor having to play a map before you can vote on it. Because how much a player's vote is worth varies with score, I'm not sure if we need a minimum voting score.

I don't see how it would cause problems. I've played games where unit costs were in increments of 1 and it worked very well.

The first would be the medical class. These have the listed stats but lack the special attack (EMP, plague, UV blast) or the ability to convert infantry. Cost is halved.
The second is the combat engineer. They use the stats for an infantry unit of that race, get the ability to convert enemy infantry of one type, and get the special attack of the support unit. Cost 200

To put it simply, since bases give credits in increments of 25, unit pricing should use increments of 25.
Cost is one way to balance units and this allows more fine tuning. For example, dropping the mantisse to 225 and raising the salamander to 225 would better balance the three amphibians, without otherwise nerfing or buffing them.

Oh, why not. I'm in

I'm not quite sure how to deploy this unit. It's like a budget wyrm. I know it needs some unit to screen for it, considering it has a minimum range if 2 and is fairly fragile. Still, a bit lost on how to properly use botflies.

I posted this elsewhere, but I'll repost it here:
Change the Guardian repair rate to 0.5, rounding down after any modifiers. This means it can't heal on it's own,gets 1 point from an assimilator or med base or 3 points from both.
If you think this is too generous, make it 0.2. This means it must be on a med base with an assimilator next to it to repair a single point.
Otherwise, I have no other blaster unit changes I'd like to see changed at this time.

Just a suggestion ...

All the anti-armor units should have all their attack strengths lowered by 2. Range of the units should be two (three for the sapiens unit in siege mode).
Just for reference ... there are a few modern anti-tank missiles that can be used versus helicopters (ADATS, LAHAT Hellfire II), and against small warships as well. They are accurate to a longer range than tank cannon rounds.
I think sapiens would use missiles for this unit type. Titans probably use energy weapons and khral organic weapons.

I favor keeping the costs but dropping all attack strengths greatly except versus ground heavy (a slight drop).
I do think that comparing the cost and stats of these units to eclipses and wyrms (the closest existing units) is fair.

I view it through my profile.

My MadDash map has been rated a couple of times, but suffers from the current limitations of CTF maps.

I agree that it can be expensive to properly design and test a map. Probably too expensive.

I stll think support units should have a light ground attack strength of 1 This would represent improvised weapons by the engineer and assimilator using vehicle repair tools (or a very light weapon, if you prefer) and for the infector would be their pincers.
