First about the Generals beta balancing update, it's not as big as the previous one, but what does it matter, just read it.

1/03

? Black Lotus vehicle hack time increased from 500 milliseconds to 2000 milliseconds. Enemy units will get a chance to shoot now, so be careful.

? Black Lotus vehicle hack now disables a vehicle for 15 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

? Anthrax from SCUD Storm now lasts 45 seconds instead of 60.

? Patriots now have 1000 hit points instead of 900.

? Patriots now do 20 more points of damage to ground targets per volley (of 4 missiles).

? Speaker Towers now heal units twice as fast (standard and with their subliminal message upgrade).

? Emergency Repair special weapon now almost twice as effective at all levels.

? Ambulance now heals infantry at twice the rate.

Secondly, news concerning Ren.

Aircraftkiller posted yet another update on the status of the new Ren patch.

The only thing slowing down the new patch is the version of Glacier Flying I gave to Westwood Studios. Apparently, the culling systems implemented into the map are not totally intact... I'm still looking into a fix for it at the moment. I believe that is all we're waiting for, all other systems are go.

Hopefully, it won't be too much longer before I take care of things on my end.
