v0.7.2
Research is no longer one-size-fits-all. Every upgrade used to cost 150/150 and take ~87s; now cost and research time reflect how strong the upgrade is.
Research — Cheaper / Faster
- Concussive Shells: 50/50, ~43s (was 150/150, ~87s). Research cost and time now match ladder.
- Force Field: 100/100, ~50s (was 150/150, ~87s). Force Fields are not useful once your opponent has Massive units, so it needed to come out faster to be worth taking.
Research — More Expensive / Slower
- Blink (Barracks slot-1 units): research time up to ~137s (was ~87s). It was absurd that Zealots and Zerglings, which can hop walls, escape surrounds and jump on workers, would show up in your base before the 3 minute mark.
- Yamato Cannon now scales with the unit. On a Battlecruiser it is 150/150, 100s, because there it is just the unit’s own ability. On every other unit that can roll it (Thor, Ultralisk, Colossus, Tempest) it is 200/200, ~120s. Yamato is very strong on units cheaper than a Battlecruiser, so it now costs accordingly.
Everything else
- Every other upgrade still researches at the standard 150/150, ~87s.
