NProject Mod December Update news

Yup, finally another update. I'm really busy these days, college tasks and exams are really killing me, and I got to work on Recolonize stories. And I see the NProject Mod 2.7 is way too big above my prediction.

Well, here's the list of the NProject Mod current build I have. You will see why I see it's too big. The list still increasing

New Units/Upgrade/Ability/etc.:

- Spy Plane moves faster
- Killed Stinger Soldiers respawn faster, increasing the Stinger Site effectiveness as a base defense
- Remove Demolitions suicide ability from Demo General base defenses because the ability too useless
for a base defense
- Angry Mob member movement speed increased a bit and will not reduced when injured, so they can catch the nexus faster

- Now Boss General King Raptor also requiring Boss General War Factory to be built
- A-10 Thunderbolt and Napalm Strike MiG missiles now can't be lasered by Avenger PDL
- Laser Crusader and Paladin, and Sentry Drone no longer disabled when low power due to unfixable bug (thanks to Mucip999)
- Mortar infantry weapon damage reduced to 63% for balancing reason (thanks to GeneralCamo)
