Strategy changes

As proposed by TopHats, here are a few tweaks to the strategies:

Relentless Attack:
Removed -1 attack for Infantry (doesn't change now)

Blitzkrieg:
-1 defence to all units (was -2).

Master of Stealth:
-40 cost for Marines (was -30)

Great Combinator:
Added -10 cost for Tanks
Removed +1 attack and +1 defence for Tanks and Infantry
Added +1 HP for Tanks and Infantry

Translations for Great Combinator description had to be removed, since they've become incorrect.

Full discussion is here

PD should be nerfed with: - 1 attack wtih infs,+ 20 cost for tanks. MOS: - 1 range for infs and militia. Blitz: - 1 range for all units. PD is a bit OP but making it have -1 attack on inf would make it one of the weakest strategies around, MOS is balanced like this so shouldnt be changed and blitz was just buffed for a reason so not one of the points you suggested make sense. ---- [pr] Commando Eagle: duel?

ifinishlast Postit: 73	17.07.2013 - 16:46 ifinishlast Kirjoittanut Mauzer Panteri, 16.07.2013 at 10:26 Verry bad. PD should be nerfed with: - 1 attack wtih infs,+ 20 cost for tanks. MOS: - 1 range for infs and militia. Blitz: - 1 range for all units. That!!! Imho, RA still sucks cause inf attack does not help you in anyway to defend. Militia having better defense than tanks would be very appreciated. Also, I believe not a lot of players using RA infantry to attack (although Spart says he's using RA inf) but this might change with inf attack back and needs testing. Ladataan... Ladataan...

If militia could defend first (tanks +1 defense bonus removed or militia +1 bonus introduced), I believe, militia would defend first, and it would not be so worthwile fot PD player to attack any tank squad in his range because of militiamen protecting tanks.

learster Postit: 986 Lähettäjä: Saksa	19.07.2013 - 17:33 learster TopHats, you changed MoS only for the sake of changing it. The -10 in cost will do nothing to tackle the problem you wanted to balance out of the strategy. It will only make MoS stronger where it already is one of the strongest: in world games/late game. If you now feel the need to nerf MoS on another end then please just take back the change and make marines cost 10 whatever more again. Ladataan... Ladataan...

If you now feel the need to nerf MoS on another end then please just take back the change and make marines cost 10 whatever more again. i disagree, the -10 cost to marines improved the strategy significantly in early-game and in opening expansions, thus making it viable in small map games, team games and 1v1s. I agree that it'll simply make it stronger in late-game situations and in world games, but it was never that strong before anyways. People over exaggerate it's power in world games. (because of you mostly) It's just a mediocre strategy. Imperialist is by far much better, some could even argue that gw is better than mos in world games. (at least i think so). Even sky menace can be considered stronger if played properly. If this boost somehow makes the strategy op in world games (which it most likely won't) then we'll think of an additional nerf along with the current -10 cost. ---- Don't trust the manipulative rabbit.
