| Summary | 0000906: Black Widow Golem Too Much HP | ||||
| Description | The Black Widow Golem now has WAY too much HP compared to the other golems due to the recent re-balancing of Golems (it did not get scaled down HP like the others) Just for comparison, the Black Widow has 30,000,000 HP, but the Armored Golem has 5,000,000 HP. Less importantly, a similar HP discrepancy exists for the Cursed Golem. (NOTE: Applies to version pre-release 4.000 as well) | ||||

This was actually as intended -- the Black Widow golem is rather fragile, and has no armor. Whereas the Armored Golem has far less health, but AMAZING armor that makes it much more sturdy than it seems. Some of the other recent lowered once (Artillery, Botnet) are also intended to be rather fragile and not for the front lines. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's as intended and seems okay as far as I can tell so far. ;) |

Ahh I see. Even though the Black Widow has more HP, it will actually last not as long in a real fight. Interesting. Is there a formula that takes into consideration HP and armor about how "tough" overall a unit is? |

Well.... it depends on the type of units facing it, when they have armor piercing. But, the reference sheet on the Stats window does a good job of approximating that, I think. Most ships, when attacking the armored golem, will do only 5% of their damage (or 100k less damage, if they do more than 100k damage). So that makes it 20x tougher to most ships, though ones with really high damage output or with armor piercing are more effective against it. So against the wrong kinds of units, the armored golem is still weaker than the black widow golem, but against most units it will be far more effective. |
