Centepide buff

[silver hemlock]

I think a centepide buff is required now that normal tribes get giants quicker than Cym gets Cymanti.

I suggest:

• Head HP 20 -> 30
• Head Defense 3 -> 4

On the surface, this might seem extreme but given the fact that normal tribes can get giants quicker Cymanti’s super unit needs to be durable enough to deal with late game combat

I think it’s needed with now late centepides come out now

[vapid meadow]

i guess?

honestly i dont know

[silver hemlock]

The only thing making centepides strong was how early a player could get them and how they would snowball a Cym player’s economy

i will test more today

Giants are just strictly more useful.

Cymanti's economy was never the issue. In terms of SPT, it's on par with other top tier tribes up until markets, where it falls behind. The cym hate came from the range of hexapods in early game, and mobility of centipedes. If you nerf the eco, you just mess everything up further, and as a consequence then have to boost centipedes accordingly, because they're arriving too late.

Cymanti definitely had a pretty strong economy, but now it's obviously terrible. I am fairly certain that with lv0 fungi start a 6 star start would be appropiate, as a lot of openings end up with 1 star too few on T3/4 now

I think that centipede explode damage should get buffed, it is very underutilized and overly nerfed.

Segment explosion damage is great for getting through defense bonus

[naive pawn]

Yeah, you just barely miss that one star for a second fungus

[gloomy wasp]

how about allowing centi head to explode (and explode after attack), not just the segment

without making that also explode any of the segments, rather you just get a new head

(if you have a segment already)

don't think it's actually needed tho

[marsh condor]

if you want to buff centipedes in any way, I would allow exploding segments after moving/attacking

but exploding weak heads seems like too much

That’s in this beta
