Ghouls Balance Mod

SteamWorks Mod ID: 2dd47a50

This mod contains various prototype balance changes based on various ideas of the NS2 balance team.

Current changes:

- Aliens
- Fade
- Decreased the size of the Fade's hitbox. It's now in-between were it was before the last change and the current hitbox size see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GhoulofGSG9/Ghouls-Balance-Mod/gh-pages/fade%20hitbox%20change.JPG
- All fade skins are disabled for now because only the normal fade model has been changed. Sorry for that.
- Upgrades
- Autoselect upgrades at spawn
- At spawn, previously selected upgrades will be reapplied if they are still available.
- If the player hasn't previously selected an upgrade for an available trait, a random one will be applied at spawn.
- Crush
- Requires a Shift Hive (instead of a Crag Hive)
- Silence
- Doesn't affect attack sounds anymore
- Requires a Shade Hive (instead of a Shift Hive)
- Vampirism
- Now requires a Crag Hive (instead of a Shade Hive)
- Doesn't cloak anymore
- Does also restors carapace (alien armor)
- Does restores a fraction of your max health instead of healing instead of static amount:
- Fraction for each shell / attack:
- Skulk Bite: 8% (6-8.9 hp)
- Gorge Spit: 3% (4.8-5.5 hp)
- Lerk Bite: 4.76% (7.1-8.3 hp)
- Fade Swipe: 3% (7.5-9.3 hp)
- Fade Stab: 6% (15-18.6 hp)
- Onos Gore: 1.5% (18-25.2 hp)
- If Focus is selected, Vampirism will heal additional 33% to compensate for the longer attack cooldowns.
- Alien Regeneration
- Alien Regeneration (both the upgrade and the natural one) doesn't restore health if you have been hurt less than 3 seconds ago.
- Regeneration
- Increased amount of hp regen restores every 2 secs to 4% (from 2%) of the base hp for each shell.
- Focus
- Attacks consume 33% more energy.
- Adrenaline
- Adrenaline no longer increases the energy regeneration rate. It did increase the regeneration rate 1/sec per shell. The default energy regeneration rate is 10/sec.
- Adrenaline increases now the max energy by 20 energy per shell (instead by only 10). Default max energy is 100.
- Gorge
- Gorge Tunnel
- Increased the growth time to 25 seconds (from 10). So it takes now 12.5 seconds to build with heal spry instead of 5 seconds.
- Heal Spray
- Decreased the enrgy cost for using healspray to 10 (from 12)
- Structure drop ability
- Decreased the energy cost for dropping a structure (clog, hydra, babbler egg) to 15 (from 20)
- Lerk
- Increased Pres Cost to 21 (from 18)
- PvE
- Drifter
- Added passive abilities for each hive type:
- Camouflage (Shade Hive): Drifters turn invisible when they idle.
- Regeneration (Crag Hive): Drifters regenerate 3% of their max hp every 2 secs while not at full health.
- Celerity (Shift Hive): Drifters move 18% faster.
- Cysts
- Decreased max health of full matured Cysts to 200 (from 450).
- Decreased the time it takes cyst to mature to 15 seconds (from 45).
- The max health of a Cyst does no longer vary based on it's distance to the next hive.
- Marines
- Advanced Amory
- The Advanced Amory now repairs armor and removes parasite
