This is exactly the type of feedback we want to see! Thank you for bringing this to the forums.

That said, one data point does not a trend make. And point values will not necessarily account for a balanced scenario.

Your comment about scenario 2 assumes that the Ogre will make a mad dash for the CP. That would be foolhardy, at least initially. It should hang back and allow the swarm to whittle away some defenders under the protection of the Ogre's guns to start.

Re: Scenario 3, the Retrieval Boats can't land until turn 4, and the HWTZ won't be available to fire until at least turn 6. That leaves a few chances for the Swarm to either A) take out a Retrieval Boat, and both HWTZ in it, or B) take out an off-line HWTZ.

But please, (everyone!), run through this a few (many!) more times and post your results. We've got a solid month to tweak it as needed.

Many thanks!
