Unit Balancing

Is a unit overpowered? If so, post here!

Spec ops units seem really overpowered because of their high damage blade attack, but what i really want balanced is the anti tank for the zederrians. For normal infantry fire is at 30% resistance which isnt bad but the anti tank has a 70% resistance to fire and a 50% resistance to pierce. Add this to their naturally high starting HP and it becomes really hard to kill them, as anti infantry weapons dont work. The only things they have weakneses to are blade and impact, both of which arent to common in the terradorian army. I think a easy way to solve this problem is to make the unit have a -10% resistance to pierce, this way both tank and anti tank would be taking heavy damage from each other and it would be much more fair. If this ruins some of the balance you could also change the armor in the game to deal a diffrent type of damage and maybe have a fire cannon attack and a light pierce machinegun attack. Anyways i hope you change the unit, Thanks! -Windkin

The recon jet needs some more balancing. Currently it has a -50% resistance to pierce, and a -80% to fire, with low hp and a very weak attack it needs to be buffed up. Probably the easiest way to do this would be to increase its pierce res probably to 20%, this way you don't really have to worry as much about it being shot down by a simple guy with a gun. Ive also noticed the third level of the recon jet dosent really fit the character of it, as it has a melee and no ranged while the previous two levels have ranged and no melee, anyways thanks! -Windkin

Blade and impact ARE common; simply use a Soldier's Combat knife!

Also, the Destroyer is the rsult of the other line of fighters, as well as the Jet line. The destroyer is fast, and that is why I made it the lvl 3 Jet.

I just realized the grenadier line is a little bit underpowered as well, i mean with -50% to pierce compared to their alien counterparts with +50% pierce not to mention low hp, the opponents anti tank is so much better, i know that the grenadier does 2 more damage but the other units marksman easily balances this out.

I just changed the Grenadier's attack to 10-3, making the grenadier more powerful than the Zederians, keeping to the idea that Terradorian units are slightly more powerful, due to thier regimented structure.

The sout should be 8-2

The infector 14-2

Eliminatorwas too powerfull 10-4 should be better
The devourer was identical ro consummer. 8-3 for the attack

THe spore sealer attack can be 4-3
For spore healer 6-3 should be better

I'm not sure if this is the place to report this. I used the marksman/ sniper and wondered why there was a 1-1 attack with 20% headshot accuracy. is this suppossed to giv a 1 shot kill if is a headshot? cuz I hit them with it and it didnt giv them a headshot???
is this normal? thanks
btw I hav the latest version of wesnoth and TWOT
sorry for the random Q but I wanted to figure out why it didnt do anything special exept give then 1 damage.

[Flameslash]

It missed. You will probably get a Headshot every 5-6 attempts.

[Dragonchampion]

Exactly. That was so that Snipers are not uber-powerful.
