My suggestion is an option to make specifically Micro-Nukes explode faster.

They're neither particularly powerful or rare (especially not in the W/R event),
yet each individual shot of those feels like it takes almost as much time to resolve as it would take for a Hydra equipped with only Disruptor Cannons to fire all its shots.
I'm pretty sure that it's the type of non-unique weapon that takes the longest time to resolve, far longer than any other common launcher.

[Kyzrati]

Non-unique for sure, but it's also an explosive, which very few bots use. Not planning on doing that.

[Joshua]

Is this suggestion to make it faster in game time (turns) or is it referring to the animation time (wall clock time)?

[Kyzrati]

Whoa, Joshua, haven't seen you around for a long while, welcome back

I'm sure they mean the animation time, since it is longer than the average AOE effect. Turn-time would not really be relevant.

[R-26 Lightspeed]

I do mean "call clock time", yes.
Micro-Nukes are particularly annoying in that one event, and they're especially frustrating when happening behind a wall or far enough away that i can't even see them or the attacker, but still close enough to stop all my actions for an entire three seconds, likely multiple times in a row.

Yeah was just spending some hours working with SFX for Beta 15 today, and what I think will work okay for this one in particular is simply reducing its audible range, so I adjusted that. It was quite far, meaning it could even easily get through doors and around far corners to reach you when less relevant.

Thanks, i don't know how much the range was changed, but it should help somewhat.

I don't think finding him will change much from that simple change :

You either find Warlord early, in which case you should already know his general location,
or you find him late, in which case there will be D-83s that also use Micro-Nukes.

Well, it can help if you don't have seismic it would help alot with its massive sound range  :P
