<h1>Patch 3696 beta</h1>
<p>Essay</p>
<p>There are four main portions to this balance patch beta. First is the nerf to direct fire T3 Land units.
Second is the rebalance of ACU combat upgrades. Third is the increase in Experimental Build times and fourth is an
overcharge rework. A T3 land rebalance has been promised for a very long time so we are very happy to finally be at the beta stage
for this important development in Forged Alliance. The aim is to allow a larger window on a large number of maps
for the T2 land stage. It is potentially one of the most interesting stages of the game, with many different unit
compositions and matchups coming into play, but for a long time it has been a very short stage of gameplay
because of the effectiveness of T3 land and the effectiveness of commanders.
The balance team found it necessary to introduce combat ACU upgrade changes, an overcharge rework and Experimental build time increases
with the T3 land rebalance. Combat ACU upgrades have been shown to be very strong recently, becoming a staple of teamgames. Some of these
upgrades are too dominant and with the T3 land changes, some nerfs are required to prevent the ACU from being too powerful. </p>

<h3>Build Time and misc.:</h3>
<p>explanation why more build time is a good idea</p>
<p>Experimentals have had very low buildtimes which often made thoughtless mass sinks. With the T3 land nerf
Experimentals will be a stronger force on the battlefield so buildtime is increased to compensate for this and
to make XPs less of a cheese weapon thrown up in very short periods of time with little build power.</p>

<h3><img src="images/overcharge.png"> Overcharge</h3>
<p>explanation why oc is different</p>
<ul>
<li>something something you won't get it but you will like it</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the first rebalance of Overcharge since patch 3605 and it builds upon the premise of requiring energy storage to OC.
We have implemented a variable system of Overcharge so to do greater damage you will need more energy in storage. You will still
need to buld an energy storage before you can Overcharge and one storage will suffice for killing T2 units. To kill the heaviest
T3 units you will need three storages. When you Overcharge the amount of energy required to kill the unit you hit will be drained
from your storage. If you do not have enough to kill the target, most of your energy will be drained but not all so that your
shields and radar are not effected. </p>
