oh god, so it is 2500 for all units?

And why not leave transports like 3603 and just remove guettos?

Did you fix the 800k nuke sub cost?

Did I say I did?

Thank you so much for this!

Will make it much easier to host 3603 games.

Merry Christmas everyone!

there is the patch release notes for anyone who didnt actually get 3603 beta.

The only thing that remains as 3599 is the transports, ghettos were not the problem, the problem was the fact the t2 transports were so cheap they could be used to rival interceptors....

deathnuke is 2500 to everything.

oh, and speaking of sub nukes, i think 800k is NOT a mistake, perhaps a little expensive, but still affordable. The mass cost is less than a nuke silo, and this energy cost accounts for the fact its a mobile nuke silo, with effective cruiser-like TMLs. LD wont be making balance changes as its not up to us to decide, the 3603 beta patch was tested and was found to be mostly fine, better than 3599 anyway. transports were the only sucky thing.

It's unaffordable and utterly useless BUT STILL TOTALLY FINE EVERYBODY

This is a very big problem, it makes the game a lot different.

Quick Question since this changes to the units all to 3603 Stats if I want to use the CBFP I should use the one for 3603 Correct?

Doesn't change the fact that interceptors are so cheap they rival tanks.

I don't think using the CBFP at all would be a good idea since depending on which mod is loaded first the other might not function as expected since both mods affect the same units.

the CBF shouldn't be changing any balance details. as long as the 3603 Mod is loaded first, the CBF should still work perfectly.

Move that to FA general, few peoples come here, and we need this to be widely used.

the sub nuke it not useless, it costs 65% of the mass of a Nuke silo, and about 3.5x more energy. the drain of -2400 to make it in the naval yard is not too expensive for a NUKE SUB, seeing as the missiles now only take 5 minutes to build. If it was a typo, and the cost should be 80k energy, thats 3x LESS energy than a silo... = OP.

I made a topic in FA general linking to this topic (because nobody comes here!!) and LD made remmy delete it ....

LD, why don't you just include the CBF (not the balance, but fixes) in this fashion mod?

Because I was asked to make 3603 as a mod.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the CBFP does a lot more.

But have no balance of 3603. If CBF works fine with this mod, then will be...ahh, fine.

I mean, all players will use it in gpg, with no bugs.

the important big fixes are there, one i know for sure is fixed is the pausing mex still draining mass bug.

Perhaps this mod brings me back to FA since month of abstinence.
Good work LD.

Thank you, LD. It's great .

I think we should get a moderator to add a link to this in the 3603 beta sticky in FA Discussion.

Or maybe LD doesnt want his server to get pillaged, in which case just add some text telling people to get it from the Vault.


Hrms, hopped onto GPGNet just to see, 11 games in custom but none are using this, sadface.

GPG approved?

Yes, as in, I'm not getting sued >.>

tried to play it using sorian AI no naval no nukes on a non-naval map

AI just sits there walking around starting point not building.

disabled your mod, worked like normal.
