Contra 008 changelog (part 7) news

Bugs fixed:

- USA: Patriot missiles flew with wrong trajectory (Patriot was up, but missiles flew straight forward). Fixed.
- Cyber general: Spider Mech lost is veteranvy after teleportation. Fixed.
- Cyber general: Avenger caused game to crush. Fixed.
- China: If you capture Internet Center and research Hack 3 then Hack 3 activation button does not appear. Fixed. Activation button will appear for all China generals, but other factions will not be able to build this upgrade.
- Flame general: Helix bomb did not have incendiary weapon and thus, could not set fuel on fire. Fixed.
- GLA: Large missiles could damage aircrafts if exploded under them. Fixed.
- GLA: Terrorist bikers logic was fixed.
- Laser general: Satellite target designator description was corrected: it increases damage, not attack range.
- Infantry general: Gattling TC was larger that propaganda TC. Fixed.
- Infantry general: Red Arrows did not fire at aircrafts when they were stealth. Fixed.
- AI: Target priorities were fixed. AI will choose the most optimal target now.
- AI: I wrote a program which checks errors in AI. It found 128 errors. I'm amazed. How could AI work before?
- AI: All links to not existing units were deleted.
- AI: All links to not existing buttons were deleted.
- AI: All links to not existing scripts were deleted.

Balance changes:

- All: AA defenses don't attack cruise missiles now. They can be shot down by SLID, MTHEL and Laser general defense turret only.
- All: All defenses take 30% more damage from infantry missiles.
- USA: Patriot requires war Factory or Airfield. It will prevent Patriot rush. But this change is under question. USA can become too weak in the beginning. Testing is needed.
- USA: Aurora invulnerability lasted for 2 seconds after a bomb was droped. This invulnerability prolongation was lowered from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
- AF general: Comanche Rocket Pods have +25% bonus against buildings now.
- AF general: MCV moves 12% faster.
- AF general: Avenger machinegun was weakened 2 times. Anti aircraft weapon was not changed.
- SW general: Energy shields limit was lowered: no more than 5 now (was no more than 10).
- Cyber general: Cyborgs move slower, but have more health. (I remind you, that there is Exosceletons upgrade, which increases their speed).
- Nuke general: Irradiator became slightly weaker against vehicles, but remained powerful against infantry.
- Flame general: King of Fire reload time was increased from 2:30 to 3:00
- Infantry general: Command Center is not garrisonable now. (The limit was removed from all Command Centers and I don't want players to use it as a bunker.)
- Stealth general: Gun buggy cost was increased from 400 to 500.

Other changes:

- All: Super units are marked with small crosses on minimap (like heroes).
- AF general: The number of soldiers dropped by Spartan increases depending of Spartsn veteranvy.

- AF general: Dark Star has not fake units destruction ability any more.
- AF general: Combat Chinook was moved from Supply Center to Airfield.
- AF general: Combat Chinook can not gather resources any more. (It will solve the problem with rally points: Combat Chinook started to gather resources automatically and did not move to rally point).

- Cyber general: New rank 5 general's power: Medusa Drop. It spawns Medusa drones.

- Tank general: He will not have problems with nuke tank hunters any more. J-10 with napalm missiles is available at rank 1.
- GLA: All RPG bikers fire 3 missiles at once and reload for a long time. Their overall firepower and attack range remained as it was. This change allows to use bikers for hit-&-run tactics.
- GLA: Demo traps and AT mines are immune to all armor piercong weapons mow (shells and missiles).
- Assault general: Desert Cruiser replaced with Karkadann (you saw the model).
- Demo general: Nuclear bomb Truck explosion was remade. If you destroy it, it explodes with a power of nuke cannon shell. But if you detonate it by a button, it explodes with a power of a nuclear missile.
