General Changes for Release 4 news

• All Tier 1.5 (Infantry tech centre) & Tier 2 structures no longer give build radius. Trimming the number of base crawl buildings for probably the last time.
• All Refinery & War Factory's build radius increased from 250 -> 280. We are not trying to stifle expansion, nor make it difficult to place defensive structures near refineries. For those who used Refineries & War factories to base-crawl, things have just got much better!
• Increased all mini outposts build radius by approx. 25%. This is mainly to assist the AI, so the trimming of buildings which give build radius does not unduly effect them.
• Tiberium 'Growth between stages' reduced by approx. 13%, this means that Tiberium will reach its final growth stage quicker.
• Swapped Tiberian Dawn tunes, with Tiberian Sun tunes. Also checking to see how the matches play without the tunes being interrupted every time there is a battle.

• The Zone Troopers 2 upgrades: Scanner packs & Auto injectors, have been unified into a single upgrade. The cost and build time have been combined as well.
• The RIG has been removed from the War factory.
• New reinforcement power: Call support Rig. Call in a Rig to any location in the map. This support power, which is available as soon as a War factory is placed, cost $2000. This is to clear a space in the War factory build queue. I theorised that I would probably use the Rig more if it was a support power rather than a unit, and I do. The AI will use it has well! (it will send it out and then deploy it, it's a start!).
• Silo replaced. No more Silo sell exploit!
• GDI Commando replaced.
• Barracks replaced.

• Nod Commando can now place C4 on vehicles. She is still nearly useless! Using the stealth Chinook is the key.
• Nod Raider Buggy replaced.
• Call for Infantry transport ability replaced.
• Harvester replaced.
• Scorpion Tank replaced.

• New support power: Ichor seed. Apparently the Scrin were not content with their late game economic advantage, and wanted a mid game boost as well!
