Balance Changes

Hi Commander!

edit: these changes are now live!

We are introducing a series of balance changes to Headquarters and some economy changes. Here are the changes that are being implemented during a tuning release.

Transformer buff reduced

Transformer

• Level 13: 98.9% -> 98.8%
• Level 14: 98.9% -> 98.8%

Dev Notes regarding Level 13 and Level 14:

• 98.9% -> 98.8% results in a 8.4% reduction in a solo boosted turret’s DPS.
• Visually, WCRA shows “98%” despite the true value of 98.8%. (Players can confirm this on their own because if the value was 98%, you’d notice a massive 50% decrease in turret DPS and very old units would be able to defeat a player level 111 base which isn’t the case)
