Hey mate

1st of all, amazing mod!

2nd of all bomb squigs.

While fun to play with they are not so fun to play against. Especially when I'm in comp stomp mode and the comp spawns about 10 of them. I recommend nerfing them (even lower health). Is there any way of easily deleting them myself without breaking the mod? These things make the orcs no fun to play against.

I know this is a old post, but so true, so true. Please nerf those things, they ruin the game. Especially since they cost 0 resources, are accessible super early in the game, and a plethora of other problems.

I don't care if this is a necro, but dear god fix the Bomb Squigs. I just 1v7 against Insane AIs building NOTHING but Bomb Squigs, and I won. It's stupid how broken they are. I can't even play against Ork AIs because they just Squig rush every group of infantry.

Excellent work on this, to all who were involved. I appreciate you folks making this available. :-D

I've experienced the same thing with the bomb squigs. It seems to vary depending on which orc army you play against, but at times the computer really does spam them, and 1 or 2 squads of marines even with the aid of a turret or two are seldom able to stop them before they reach you until they're upgraded with some heavy weapons.

In one instance, scarcely ten minutes into the game, neither me or the computer had ammassed enough resources to field even a small army but bomb squigs had destroyed most of my base and all of my troops. So long as they were spamming them they were unstoppable that early in the game.

It wouldn't even be such a nuisance that the AI spams them if they could be killed by your units before they reached them. Something like that strikes me as the sort of thing where you're supposed to be able to use them to break up enemy formations when they're distracted fighting other units, not something that can take on and decimate whole squads one on one early in the game.
