yeah, i agree it was more like a 10x nerf. that's true that the HC nerf really got everyone upset, and they slipped the factory nerf right under everyone's noises while we were complaining about that. it just seems like a waste to have introduce those units, then immediately make them too costly to use, especially the suicidals.
i just noticed the post today from a mod praising the virtues of the Brandenburg Gate. seem kind odd timing to do that right after i bring up the point that nobody is using factory units because of their nerfing them. do they honestly expect people to get that wonder now, since nobody uses the factory?
