G'day Forts Fans! Welcome to the Balance of Power update. We have been listening to your feedback and have been busy implementing three-phases of balancing, Campaign difficulty, weapon calibration, and commander balance. We've also added inverted missile silos for hanging forts, and of course a new map, in preparation for next weekend's tournament (see below).

Campaign Difficulty
The Campaign difficulty has been the source of much discussion, and we have been busy tweaking and testing Easy, Normal and Hard mode. The end result is an Easy mode experience that caters for the novice player to get to grips with the missions and mechanics at their own speed. Normal mode is now calibrated to provide a challenge, while at the same time making the attainment of bonus objectives achievable. Hard is still the same stern test of skill and strategy.

Weapon Balance

With Forts having been out for a month now, we've noticed certain patterns of play and strategies that, while within the 'laws' of the game, tend to make for less entertaining battles. These include Energy Shield spam, Cannon rush, and mid-tier weapon obsolescence. Here are the changes we've made.

Cannon - Reduce hitpoints - 300 (down from 550)
Cannon - Increase firing cost - 75M/3000E (up from 50M/2000E)
Factory - Increase build time - 120 (up from 90)
Shields - Reduce hitpoints - 60 (down from 100)
Swarm - Increase payload - 12 rockets (up from 9)
Machine Guns - Increase build time to 20 (up from 15)
Laser - Increase reload time - 26 (up from 24)
Missiles - Can be built upside-down

Commander Balance

In an effort to bring all commanders into the same ball park of effectiveness, we have made the following changes.

Firebird - Reduce active fire radius, AP sniper leaves a trail of flame.
Overdrive - Instant upgrades reduced to 2x rate of upgrade.
Pinchfist - Increase reclaim to 100% of cost (typical reclaim rate reduced to 50% of cost)
Warthog - Passive ability now includes Heavy Mortars having faster reload


New Map Balls 2v2

The original Balls map has proven popular, and now there's Balls 2v2, featuring two forts on either side of this symmetrical map, with a couple of satellites each side for the placement of additional mines or silos.

Pro-tips
We're introducing a new segment to the updates, Pro-tips, in which we will suggest a useful trick that we've noticed is going unused. This week it's the Refire function.

As some of you may know, double-clicking on a weapon, or pressing 'E' (either with the weapon selected, or hovering over it with the cursor) will cause a weapon to fire again using the same power and trajectory as it's previous shot. Additionally, combining this with the TAB function, which cycles through each available weapon, allows players to lay down a sequence of accurate shots in rapid succcession.
