Balance Updates

Neutral Structures

Tempest Processing Center

We are reducing the Power output of Tempest Processing Centers in order to encourage players to build more Power Plants in the early game.

• Decreased Power provided by Tempest Processing Center to 60 (from 100)

Tempest Dynasty

Dynasty players are still able to ramp up their economy somewhat too quickly. These changes are designed to slow down the Dynasty's economic expansion, primarily regarding timing and growth rate. Additionally, we are continuing to tweak Harvester Wheels to be more attractive harassment targets.

Tempest Rig

• Movement Speed decreased to 300 (from 350)
• Increased respawn time of Harvester Wheels to 30 seconds (from 28 seconds)
