Wow liking the shields increase on the Harbringer , well worth the rads.

Also the Caregive sight radius is very welcome , i think this unit now has the max site of any SS unit ? or it must be close . Lacking a land based scout this is great.

Major kudos for the balance work lately.  My maulers feel a lot tougher thanks to those shields also .. they have to be getting pounded by artillery miles out.

 

Need some UI mods next please, need an easier way in the unit trees on the left to see how many units of a type in there, please just order these by type not by when they are added as it really makes it kind of useless to quickly ascertain how many units you have of a give type in the army when looking at this tree view. I mainly use this unit view to right mouse click to add units to the army .

Also the army unit counters in the middle of the UI are hard to see, i propose you can do away with them and simply put the numbers next to where you order units for the army but have the incoming units as + , eg 5+4 etc . This would be cleaner and be a lot easier to see at a glance what you have also.
