This here is a perfect example of framing being part of human nature as you so described. Brutes are not all that effective in the early game nor late game, they are just fodder, very expensive fodder and also a very expensive scouting unit. Bio Reactors give too much power per their cost, Yuri can tech very fast to superweapons on one Bio Reactor. Slave miners have so much health that attacking Yuri's Miners is usually quite pointless, it also lets Yuri send his miners across the map to gem patches and build a super economy quite easily.

That's why I'm reading your posts and basing the changes on UNBIASED FEEDBACK. Yours is already biased because you think I'm simply changing things on a personal whim. Why ask Grant, it's my project. While I absolutely love the idea of top players helping out, they are simply not interested in doing this, they just want to play. Also 'top' players like Andy would just troll and change random things to just to joke around. Other than that I've already included many of the top players in testing, a lot of changes are based on their feedback.

A competitive scene should NEVER have a random factor other than luck.

At least for the game's 20th birthday a good community patch should be made.

This pretty much shows perfectly that they realised they fucked up the game design in terms of competitive and tried to fix it through the ladder... ???

Rhino tanks give you a freewin if you control them properly.

It's okay, Zain is just a mid level player.

That's why a Yuri Patch is in the works.

ALT effectiveness comes from it's main objective of adding splash [even from machine gun fire (which mind doesn't splash in any other RTS)]. Especially in the case of lamer players, you'd build sentry / pillboxes to defend your factory against engineers, which then can be taken advantage of by ALTing. The only time unit blocking was useful was when people would rush and ALT with their first tank, both the blocking and bonus damage is what makes ALT so powerful in these 'special' circumstances. Yet in the above described scenario of 'unit blocking' with a single tank it's a lot more viable to just make engineers and keep fixing your factory, while in the case of multiple units adding splash damage you don't really get the chance to react. All you can do is shout "mother*****" and sell your factory, which leaves your opponent with a tank count advantage which he can use to destroy your miners while you're there waiting for that 'new' factory to build up, which is another 2 tank advantage in production. Back in the day even a 1 tank advantage was 'huge' in competitive games.

Mutliengineer & Dog No Eat Engineer were not part of the original game! They are mods too.

This is just childish.

I agree, eating engies is just as lame as soviets rushing against other soviets with 1 drone and 1 rhino and killing that one miner a lot of the time it's so easy to pull off that at one point I just started doing it to my opponent while they did it to me. Then we can both rebuild from 1, 0 miner, which just turns the games boring.

The other player who got lucky with the dog can also make mistakes during the game and you can get your advantage back, reducing risk is the way to go and @reflexion explained it better than I ever could. I've always frowned at the idea of no eat on XWIS QM as after months of consistent playing my dogs were winning more fights than others. The positioning and angle of attack all had an effect at least on RA2, I haven't played YR competitive consistently enough to 'prove it' to everyone who blindly insists that it's 100% luck based. Due to the fact that the game code / programming that underlies the dog mechanic is logic based there are patterns to these lucky circumstances.

I haven't been on the game during this week, as I've been playing Resident Evil HD Remaster...

I mean that if gattling tank could transport 1 infantry, with it's current speed, one could easily sneak a Yuri Prime in a Gattling tank behind some one's base and sell it all in a few seconds.

Sneaky Yuri Primes. This. Problem solved.

You certainly should, I'd be happy to demonstrate to everyone how even after such so called 'MAJOR' nerfs Yuri is still very powerful.

This, everyone wants to get there first and when their opponent does, it's suddenly unfair. Again with your flawed stats which are affected by the # of players of each faction.

You're welcome to play me or watch me play as Yuri with those changes, I have no problem displaying how the changes simply change the Yuri meta as opposed to making it weak. All of it is against towards the Yuri army and none of the other factions.

Multi engi + Yuri Rebalance!

This makes a lot of sense, because all games were released perfectly balanced and it's not a widely known fact that Westwood didn't have the time to fully refine Yuri's Revenge prior to release, but at this point I'm going to have to stop you and regretfully say... I appreciate your feedback, however it's very clear that you haven't tried none of these changes out against any competent player and are evidently just describing your assumptions based on some fantasy you've concocted in your head. When you get the chance to play at least two handfuls of games on a variety of map sizes against some one of reasonable skill, fell free to reply constructively, until that point I can't take your replies seriously. Also please learn to quote properly, it's exhausting to read posts like that. Yes, I do, I tell them to go learn to play. So that I can watch them struggle as Allied.

I didn't bother wasting time easing the ~5 Yuri players into the new changes and its the same Yuri players who are backlashing.

That's how all those changes came to be, just because they are presented to you in a bunch doesn't mean I just pulled them out of my ...
