Faction Reworks All-In-One Patched
Most Recent Updates:
# 6/14 Drukhari quest fix
– pointed it at Painbringer
# 6/12 Tyranid part 1, early game momentum + new adaptations
# Tyranids
– City founding is half price, 60/60 -> 30/30 biomass/influence. Metamorphic Malanthropes (the old t4 -50% research) is baseline now and hidden from the tree. Less time spent researching things you need just to function.
– Grey Matter Dispersion rolled into Accelerated Brood Cycle (t3), so one research gives +2 pop limit and the loyalty penalty reduction. More early game momentum.
– Cities needed AP. Swapped a Devourer for a Heavy Venom Cannon, did it in both headquarters files. Comes out to about +16% damage vs unarmored but +39% vs armor 3, which was the point.
– New t5 tech in Grey Matter’s old slot, "Corrosive Strikes". One bio-adaptation: every attack applies stacking Corrosion (-0.75 armor, 2 turns), melee attacks also apply Lacerations (-0.5 armor, same deal) so melee shreds at -1.25 a hit. Swarm wearing down tough opponents. Was originally two separate melee/ranged adaptations but the engine has no "ranged only" attack condition, so condensed it.
– Stacking works via stacking="1" like RadSaturation, each stack has its own 2 turn timer so they fall off at the rate you apply them. No hard cap, the duration is the cap. Side note for later: Jinx/Shroudpsalm/Armorbane style "rankMax" debuffs don’t actually stack on reapply, the rank stuff seems to be for something else entirely.
– Assimilation Accelerants rolled into t7 Aggressive Expansion, reclaim cooldown removal comes with the growth tech now.
– New t8 tech in Assimilation’s old slot, "Hypermetamorphic Plasticity". +1 bio-adaptation slot on all units.
– Didn’t test in game yet, see TODO. Also the new adaptations are wearing borrowed icons for now (Flesh Hooks and Toxin Sacs art).
# 6/7 tentative balance changes and a ‘necron’ bugfix. Chaplain nerf.
# Necrons – Rapid Rise, Extraction Matrix
– Extraction Matrix buffed 6->7 yield rates, +1 Influence.
– Base cost reduced from 12x to 5x (vanilla 4x) production cost, upgrades now effect all buildings.
– Rapid Rise Early (t2) reduces cost to 4.25x; Rapid Rise Warmachine moved from t7 to t5, reduces cost to 3.5x
# Space Marines
– Chaplain Fortress of Will armor buff now has the same target filtering as something like Nanoscarab Reanimation Beam, can’t target Heroes, Vehicles, or Fortifications.
– Chaplain HP reduced, 26->22. When Hero Armor was removed, most heroes got 2x HP. Chaplain got 3x. He’s now slightly more burstable.
# AdMech
– fixed a description issue for a building, a necron had snuck in.
#TODO
– Track down other bugs with other races.
– Whatever other issues people report.
– Feel free to recommend balance changes, I actually just started playing a couple days ago.

My Two Neutral Monster Packs Are Part of This Mod:
1. Basegame Neutral Enemies Rework (Niemeria)
– Neutral flyer units are now skimmers so they can be attacked by melee units
– Nerfs these annoying flies
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3554980544
2. Kabookie’s Neutral Enemies Rework (Niemeria)
– Uses the Kabookie’s Neutral Enemy pack but with tweaks. Some units are very strong and I adjusted them.

———————————————-
Global Changes:
– River Terrain Tiles now provide +20% Energy, +20% Food, and -1 City building Slot.
– Healing in Outposts and Cities has been increased by 5% — now 20% per turn on Outpost tiles and 25% per turn on City tiles.
– Pinned Debuff no longer increases the ranged damage reduction of units.
– Skyfire Trait now affects Air Units, Skimmers, and Jetpack Units. You deal 33% more damage against these unit types, but 33% less damage against ground units. (Previously, this only applied to Air Units with smaller bonuses and penalties.)
– Soulblaze and other Damage-over-Time (DoT) effects now last for 2 turns instead of 1.
– Grenades have been reworked for almost all factions: they ignore cover by default, but now have a fixed accuracy of 50%, and cannot be improved by accuracy modifiers.
[Recommendations]
– Use too many voices to get unit voicelines: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1918454158&searchtext=to+many
– Game settings: 3 technologies per tech level
– Game settings: +0 or +10 Loyalty for you (+10 should be the default in my opinion)
– Game settings: Speed and all resource parameters set to Medium
