To give a fair shot to other early build orders, this will make it take a bit longer to build your second refinery by increasing the cost of building a power plant.
Refinery costs more energy, forcing player to build a 2nd power plant before second refinery (unless they built nothing else but their first refinery).
This makes other build orders possible early game instead of building 2 refineries + barracks being the only sensible one.
Tower weapon ranges shouldn't be too high, but I like the idea of them providing far vision.
The visual range of Guard Tower, Advanced Guard Tower and Obelisk is now +1 more than their weapon range. (8, 8, and 7 respectively).
The detect cloaked range is too high, especially for simple guard towers.
The HQ and Advanced Comm. Ctr.'s range of 8 is also absurdly high, and many players don't know about it. The Stealth Tanks ought to be able to sneak through a gap in a base's defenses. Towers should not have unbeatable detection range.
Guard Tower
- Reduced vision from 7 to 6
- Increased buildtime from 12s to 24s
Gun Turret
- Reduced vision from 7 to 6
- Increased buildtime from 15s to 30s
SAM Site
- Increased buildtime from 18s to 36s
Advanced Guard Tower
- Reduced vision from 9 to 7
- Increased buildtime from 24s to 48s
Obelisk of Light
- Reduced vision from 8 to 7
- Increased buildtime from 36s to 52s
separated into IncomingSound = "nuke approaching/detected"
and changed LaunchSound into "nuke lauched"
also nuke with small L .aud in cnc rules looks like a typo
Someone complained that there was not good warning for the nuke. All you heard was the launch sound, which wasn't that noticeable and a bit like other sounds.
Now it says, "nuclear missile approaching".
This is combined with slightly reducing the amount of tiberium stored in Refineries. Part of the reason for this is that refineries are targeted lots by ion cannons (one-shot kill) and nukes. Whenever this happens, you lose the money that's in them. By making a silo that stores more, you can store the tib farther away and keep a bit more of it safe.
The other part of the reason is to bring silos into the game as a somewhat strategic structure. By having more money, they are more capturable, because you can steal what's in them. It might also make sense to maybe airstrike them so that the opponent loses what money is in them.
The way to counteract this problem is to build more silos. They cost a bit more though (double) so that you have to think about how many you want.
