Ive played this mod for years, since its inception in fact. I have just returned to Halo Wars after a couple of years and it needs to be said that this latest version of the mod is seriously unbalanced.
I am primarily a UNSC player, Cutter usually, I like to set up an AI match and kill a few hours turtling it out til im bored and decide to attack. That is NOT an option with this mod anymore.
Reason being 1 Cov unit. Locusts. I dont know what's changed but the overcharge is noticeably doing more damage than a Scarab beam, so when they build 5/6 of them its game over. You will not stop them. They will absolutely destroy Scorpions outranging them massively, infantry get clowned on and dont even start with main air. You will gradually lose everything. Only the Cobra's en mass will work, but then you are stuck with all the Cobras.
Its actually really infuriating. A game I managed to get the automatic difficulty up to 60+ on and now Ive lost so many matches it just hit 35. Im incensed tbh, I realise its down to pop cap but there needs to be limits on more units, this is actually ridiculous. If anybody is still working on the mod, you need to address balancing around the pop cap, there is no hope if there are more than 6 or 7 at a time.
A question around Scarab armour, I believe i used to remember taking a Scarab down with a full upgraded MAC? Now with all the shots you'll reduce it to half, but you can kill a fully built Cov base with it straight up.....Sorry, I realise there must be balancing but this is a shipborne MAC cannon... built to do damage to other vessels not a lil Scarab on the surface, if the MAC is used it should be able to kill it outright, not just damage it.
Also NOT a fan of when the armour upgrades are bought for the Spartan IIIs that the jet pack Spartans are permanently flying, it'd rather it was used like the jump pack brute ability, I would use the dual SMGs/AR over the Grenade one but the fact they fly just puts me off them.
Apologies for the essay hope someone is still working on it and will see this.
Im having a problem with downloading this mod, whenever i go to copy the address path after i opened the "ModData" folder, it just wont let me copy it at all?
It should be a pretty easy thing to type out yourself if you know the path. That isnt an issue with the mod.
Mine is literally D:\Halo Wars Mod\LeaderOverhaulMod v1.7.1\ModData

Dont know if this is a glitch or some game multiplier affecting Locusts, but at some point they become impossible to defeat (Shield becomes too OP) and its beam can destroy Scarabs in like 10 seconds
