No, discovered this myself by in house games with friends.  But yes, that's roughly what we had 

A lot of the other items aren't too bad tbh from my experience.  It's just the towers of doom that are the problem  

I have to thank you.  I've really enjoyed this mod so much   

I absolutely LOVE ALBATROSS!!!   

Ok here is what i have done:

Optical enhancement changed to

Perm Buff:

Damage 7%

Range Add .55

Duration effect: 10 seconds

Damage 50% increase

Restores 200 Tower Health

Architects mechanism:

Perm Buff: tower health + 150

Aura:

12% tower attack speed

4% tower regen

Currently working on a tower defence mod (taking code from semi finished enfos) so any further updates other than fixes will be delayed for a while. I  can post the above fix if you guys want me too, or change it to however you think would work best (give me balance suggestions for any part of the mod, i have only ever got to 3v3 once or twice before with my mod so you will have a better understanding than me).

MXX99 - Interesting concept! see what i can do for you .

Exx

Gravity Well
Speeds up the passage of time in the area where it is placed. Lasts for 30 seconds, has a 55 second cooldown.

All regeneration, move speed, damage over time abilities, attack speed, and cooldowns are increased for all nearby Demigods.

Ok guys: Working on this some more

Nerfed Helm of fortune:

Now gives 3 gold per tick to user, and a 1 gold per tick aura

-- Fixed a bug where it was giving gold to minions.

Nerfed Thumper:

Now does 55 +5 damage per lvl  (was at 75+13 damage per lvl) 

AOE damage timer increased from 1.5 to 2 seconds

Stun immunity has been increased to 14.

cooldown increased to 60 seconds

energy cost reduced to 500

Also is fire tower OP and do the other tower upgrades need another nerf?

QUOTE PACOV: (Side note, if you get bored, we'd love to see some adjustments to your favor mod.  I was going to look into coding them myself, but if you have some time, super!  As it stands, we need to nerf thumper and the helm that gives gold.  thumper should either be flat out removed (the general rule is that people get VERY pissed if anyone uses thumper in game) or nerfed quite a bit.  Maybe silence every 10-14 seconds and removing the tower upgrade ability you cooked in... I really don't think it needs to scale as is. )

For new items: 

I am going to bring over some of the new units i created for enfos into summonable units. Will update as i do them.

These are:

armory

BloodlustYeti

HQueenMegaEnt

Nightmare

SilenceArcher

snarecat - Freezes STRUCTURES on weapon proc (chance 12%) for 7 seconds.  Does 100 damage per attack (1.25x standard catapultisauri attack rate) and has 700 health. 60 second cooldown, cost 500 mana, 2 Summoned at a time - 2 max

these units will be balanced for standard gameplay, but i will try to maintain their concept.

Exxcentric, you should make an activated favor item that increases the damage you take from all sources for a certain amount of time, but gives you some benefit, perhaps really high attack damage, a move speed bonus, or a large amount of mana per second?

How about a speed ward as well as a polar opposite to the slow ward? 

Why not just buff UG so that it costs the same as it does now, but gives 500 mana, in addition to the +2000 HP 

8D 

And does mana burn of 500 if you use it offensively. 

That is:

If target == Friendly Demigod: 

   target.currentHP += 2000

   target.currentMP += 500

if target == Friendly Tower:

   target.currentHP += 2500

If target == Enemy:

   target.currentHP -= 650

   target.currentMP -= 500 

It'd be a small buff to an underused item (but not terribly underpowered) that I wish we could see more use of. 

well... do you think that would be worth it?  You make a reasonable case, though. UG's aren't all that widely used, but clearly do serve a purpose.  Your approach is probably better than mine (improving an item instead of adding another one that isn't super useful, but still serves a viable purpose).

Let's see... with my suggestion, does granting 2000ish mana or so to any dg make them op at 500 gold a pop?  I don't think so.  Support casters could use them to buff certain dgs (sedna/qot, etc).  Anyway, I don't think its op.

Your approach - def not op and makes the item a little more desirable.  Taking away 500 mana could have a decent impact early, and perhaps make this a more desirable item.  However, 500 mana is like next to nothing.  I'd think 1000 would be the magic number.  That can actually make it a great item to counter a rook early and increase staying power.  Late game its not that big a deal, but early game - well, it sounds like an item that could be a decent game changer - and add some fun.  What do you think?

well... they'd still have their hp for the most part.  You also have to factor in that any character BUYING this item early is down 1 item, so it does offset some.  I really don't think it will run someone back to base, but it does change things quite a bit - and items that do that tend to get purchased.  I think 1k might be the right number.

That said, we could always create a simple mod of the gadget at 1k, play a tier 1 game, and see what the impact really is.  I don't think 500 mana is enough, but you might be right.

2 other items to consider:

What about:

Demistify- Unsummon up to 2 units (chain effect) of an enemy  or unsummon up to 1 enemy created structures in range 12, cooldown 45, no mana cost, targeted.

Escapism - Casts invunerability (but you cannot move) for 3 seconds (Think Orb of Defiance). Following this the unit becomes invisible for 10 seconds provided you dont attack/cast an ability/use an item. Single targeted use, range 30. Cooldown 50, mana cost 300.

lol it is VERY nerfed -- wait till you try it, i doubt it will be anywear near as gamechanging as before

Towers should be significantly nerfed, have not tested with vortex (have with both the other 2 towers) and changes seem to have brought these into line (if not making them slightly underpowered).

Comments appreciated

(note this features no new activated code - should just be the old items rebalanced).
