Dropzone Commander V2.1 Unit Balance Changes September 2019 from TTCombat
It’s September, 3 months after the units were locked down for Dropzone Commander so it’s time for a balance refresh.
We’ve had a lot of feedback from the community, we’ve had a look at the units that were being used, and the units that were just ignored and after a lot of tinkering, we’ve got some changes to make. This is also a chance to fix a few errors in units stats. These are already live in the Army Builder. Which you may notice has had a massive redesign after community feedback.
Unit changes are done to either make a unit that’s too powerful that bit more balanced, to try to improve the overall design of a faction and to give weak units a buff. As always, please do give us feedback on these changes and we will be watching for the next balance pass.
