v2.1.3.32281

Balancing

• Gain from being in truce with someone 5 → 4 standing

• Building cost reduction only affects Plascrete and Solari costs

• Low Standing no longer prevents you from doing an action that costs standing, instead you will remain at 0

• Mobile turret now shoots at very long range while deployed

• Mobile Turret 25 → 30 power while deployed

• Spires deal +50% → +40% damage to units outside of their territory

• Spirit 270 → 230 hp 5 → 4 armor

• Pillaging

  • Pillaging a sietch now takes 0.5 → 6 days

  • Pillaging gains do not longer vary with game length. Base gains are a bit more important in early game and a fair bit smaller in late game.

  • Pillaging gains are no longer multiplied by the amount of buildings in the village.

  • Pillaging no longer gives plascrete depending on the amount of buildings in the village.

  • Pillaging no longer gives plascrete or spice depending on the village production.

  • Instead some buildings increase pillaging gains by a flat amount of a relevant resource. The gains coming from pillaging another faction's village is now more representative of its economic value.

  • The gains from a pillage are computed at the beginning of the siege instead of at the end. Destroying buildings during a pillage does not reduce its bounty.

  • Smugglers underworld headquarter extension "Contraband Caches" can stock up to 500 → 1000 spice, but that reward can no longer be increased by other bonuses.
