Version 1.1 Update
Changelog - Version 1.1

Thanks for all the feedback! Overall it seemed that these old dawi were overperforming for their price-point and have (hopefully) been brought better in line with vanilla units. The Crank Gunners grumbled, but their laser-like accuracy has been lowered and they no longer shoot out laser beams of trail effects. To placate them, their crank guns were given a glow up with new animations and effects! See below for more detailed changes and balance tweaks.

Improved Animations and Effects!
  • Spinning gun barrels - A grudge has been righted!
  • Muzzle flash effects per shot
  • Improved firing sound effect
  • Improved projectile trail - No more lasers!
  • Upgraded weapon model - Added a handle for the crank and a bar to keep stationary gun parts in place

Balance Tweaks
Based on feedback and testing, the Crank Gunners were greatly over-performing for their price point and intention. Overall, their in game performance was slightly nerfed and their cost was increased.
  • Lowered accuracy at high ranged
  • Shifted some AP damage to non-AP and Bonus vs Infantry for better balance
  • Increased reload time
  • Increased cost to 1200
