I suggest adding carry capacity of 1 to the human fixed artilleries as well (reptilians already have it) for making it fair across every nation. Also to insectoid towers if those don't have it yet.

No, human fixed artilleries are only turrents, they have no space for units in them. Also they are, regardless, the strongest towers across all races. Humans can use medic centers as healing buildings.

Insectoid towers have carry cap.

They do have space inside in AoW tho... There they are similar turrets.

AoWW this, Aoww that...

Also, I don't see human turrets being stronger than reptilian ones, esp. with energy damage increase tech.

I slowly get the feeling there isn't much playing room or openness for change in the dev team... Hope I'm proven wrong though

Being open to change doesn't mean accepting everything you say... Also I see you ran out of arguments.


Human towers have the most range, high damage, most hp, fixed rocket artillery is the most versitle (effective against infantry, ships, buildings and air units). If anything, they are closer to needing a nerf than a buff.

Alright, alright, if master Midonik think so... Range is only superior after the tech research, a bit more hp yes, but there isn't even a separate AA tower and the SAM missile is soo weak tbh. And who uses them as siege towers?!

Anyway, please consider that not all things are equal through all races anyway, so it'd be totally ok even if human turrets were a bit stronger than others. After all, e.g. human infantry is way worse than reptilian one.

While the human range increases due to technology, the reptiles, in principle, have no analogue without technology, although the air attack is weaker, it hits further, which is important.

c'mon, 10 dmg, that's nothing compared to 36dmg at max by rep AA turret. And plus this against the armor of rep units...

I know this already got marked as answered...
But now that human artilleries don't get more range anymore, the human fix artilleries are not stronger than other races' ones anymore. Ergo, would only be fair to give them carry cap similar to what rep and ins turrets have.

The fixed rocket artillery still has the most versatility, with almost the most range, the highest hp and armor, good damage against infantry. I don't think they need a buff at all.

It doesn't outrange the equivalents anymore! And no, it has 4 armors both, as do other turrets. Plasma turret deals way more infantry dmg when boosted by techs. And rept turrets are built faster, so there's that.

But OK, if you don't want to give carry cap+heal to fixed rocket artillery to keep it at bay.
Maybe still give it to Stationary railgun which is underused? This would maybe drive away from the dominance of fix rocket artillery.

It just wouldnt make sense, it looks the same beside the turrent. I see it as a debuff to human fortification system.

It already got nerfed severely with the range decrease. Now it isn't any stronger or more effective than other races defenses.

It literally has more hp

Slightly more hp, right. But less damage. And takes longer to build. Who has the upper hand in terms of AT turrets? I wouldn't be so sure it's humans. So why th not give 1 little carry cap to balance out?

It's just really annoying that human units are getting blocked by their own towers.
