Here is now couple suggested changes. If you have something else in mind, please comment on this thread. When commenting remember couple things: balancing will be taken in more smaller steps and there is things that cannot be altered like penalty rolls on bombers. |

I think another option would be to give the cannons mv3 but keep real stupid. Real stupid AND a standup roll once they are knocked over is kinda harsh. To me Gnomes should be the major ttming race to compensate for their low mv. Make it possible  .
/Edit: Peikko added that option to the poll afterwards, I am not that stupid.

Gnome Balancing - When I opened this thread i thought it would be about trying to counterweight gnomes or some such idea .
I think 8s a bit high for your run of the mill gnome , I think mv3 for the cannon is the best suggestion so far.
How about some extra likle gnomes
0-2 Gnome Runter 5-1-4-6 Stunty, Dodge , right stuff ,sure feet, (AG) , about 50k |

To be perfectly honest, I don't think that even "All of the above" would be enough to balance Gnomes. AV to 8 as well as 4 Slayers should be about right. But I know you want to take it in moderate steps, so I think AV 8 on all gnomes should be a good first step. This will at least give them a bit of staying power. Right now, they're painfully slow, without any hitting power. Recipe for disaster.

Av8 is not stunty. Gnomes can already field 8 players without stunty, now you want those with to have extremely good armour for the league?
Why not keep them av7 but remove all stunty from the roster. *laughs* |

Well, they've got to be good at *something*, and since they can't hit or play ball, soaking up punishment is all that remains.

maybe give them thick skull then? Armor 7 thick skull, unless you hurt them they'll still be on the field.
Just a suggestion, I don't know enough about stunty to have an opinion, really.

@Britnoth
They might be able to field 8 without stunty, but be realistic 6 of them have secret weapons hence never be fielded for first drive and probably not last an entire game. But I see your point in not giving them all 8, that might be too much and they do have thick skull.
Still give them something nice, how about 4 slayers then, not just 3 as suggested. |

And if anyone thinks 4 Slayers would be overpowered: I played with four grandfathered Slayers for a very long time (alongside with 4 Engineers - yes, I could field 10 non-stunties). Of my last 25 matches with them, I won 1.

assuming BG wont have access to general, i wouldnt recomend all gnomes having av8, or more slayers buffs. av3 cannons AND remove the really stupid sounds like a good start. |

Given Peikko's views on General access, I wouldn't make that assumption.

when you think about having four slayers remember that frenzy will come as curse when you dont have assist. |
