Well, new apdate is sure arrived and since GOG finally posted "whats new" i taken my time to read it carefully...and experienced certain WTF with that i seen.

Technical updates is good, no doubt, as well as new editor, main campaing was in need of updating too, but this massive re-balancing of literally everything..isnt it gone too far?

To cut short - almost everything was either weakened or made more expensive.

For example, most basic - Core regen now is much more problematic, 3 times slower, with 15 sec of delay!

Bombards! 3 parts instead of 2!

Barracks slowed down by 33%

Replacement earth summon time increase by 50%

Spirit workers cost x2

and so on.

Oh yes, there is some improving too, like witch doctor health from 40 to 100 but its quite rare. Overall your everything just become worse.
