Colony Wars July-Mid August 2013 Updates
Didn't bother to post but last June there have also been new units as well namely...
Giant Squid - Smaller Squids with no Tentacle Love
Colossal Squid - Good Old Tentacle Lover
Avenger - Anti-Air/Anti-Infantry Vehicle for the Eagle Command
Yuri Naval Yard Graphical Fixes
Yuri-Soviet Stolen Unit - Golem
Soviet-Soviet Stolen Unit - Tarantula Walker
Allied-Allied Stolen Unit - Pulse Tank
First up are some minor graphical tweaks/enhancements.
Guardian GI's now have a small laser sight visible when deployed. Just another tweak to make their ability of adding laser sights when deployed more prominent.
The Original Initiate Graphics had an unfinished and incomplete Firing Frames. I've fixed this so that they are unlit as with the Conscripts & GI's.
A New Death Animation used for infantry killed by Yuri's Death Ray Technology (Floating Disk,Mothership,Star Gazer,Obelisk)
Crazy Ivans get their own Veterancy Pips.
The Zealot no longer wears heavy armor but instead like the Initiate only dons jumpsuits. However they like the initiates now have the most powerful weapons for the basic infantry.
New Equipment for some of the Factions...
The Secret Police get the Assault Bunker, This Building replaces the Battle Bunker and has much more strength to boot. It's biggest gimmick is that it can allow almost any infantry to garrison inside. Tesla Trooper,Navy SEAL & Acolyte to name a few.
The Chaos Cell now has their own unique Main Battle Tank. These Drugged up Tanks have the uncanny ability to increase their rate of fire the longer they attack. After some more time they start to disregard their own defense and prioritize attack. (-25% Armor, +50% Firepower)
-They take up the gimmick of the Allied Jaguar Tank as well now gain a nifty double-edged buff from Attach Effect.
The Soviet War Miner finally has their own unique graphics.
Also introducing is the new Yuri Hover Miner. The Hover Miner is armed with a Self-Generating Force field which increases its Armor but slows it down.
The Hydra Transport is a unique Gunship/Transport Helicopter for the Soviet Army. Replacing the Mobile Weapons Factory. The Hydra is armed to the teeth with 2x 105mm Cannons and 2 4-burst HE Rocket Pods. Their transporting ability comes in useful as they can carry up to Size 6 Units. (Battle Fortress,Apocalypse Tank & Mastermind for some examples)
A New Defense Building for Yuri. The Obelisk (of Enlightenment) fires a powerful death ray that is more powerful than the feared Tesla Coil but at a cost has a much longer cooldown before it can fire again.
Visceroids are horribly mutated humans whose own body has devolved into a blob of flesh and musculature. They can be easily killed though but...
Yuri also gets a new Support Power called Tib-X Missile which sends out a Star Flare Jet to drop the missile. The Missile releases toxic clouds and mutates any human infantry in the blast zone into visceroids.
