The point of my suggestion is that the better tanks also have overall powerful abilities. It's very stupid to buy gold hull when you are light tank, instead of buying heavy tank. You are actually weaker than the heavy tank, while you're worth a little more. Also heavy tank got stronger abilities. Changing the helicopter into air ship will also provide you with stronger abilities as well as more hp.
(Weapons not included here)
Helicopter + upgraded steel hull = 1000 + 3750 = 4750 gold value
Airship = 4500 gold value
They have almost same amount of hit points, but the airship also have stronger abilities, and 20 more speed than the helicopter. I find it better to buy a air ship than a steel hull first.
As for the tanks, a easy change can be done if their point value is doubled. They still can be sold for half the gold value.

While it would actually favor my playstyle, it highly discourages use of the bigger tanks and encourages use of Hulls instead.I see that the hull does become a more tempting choice instead of stronger tanks in my suggestion. Also that you dislike the idea of tanks being worth more. I could also have included that the hulls also increase the bounty by itself with 50% or 100%. But I don't know if that's possible as all the items is using same point value system.

Code:
Player - Add ((Point-value of (Buying unit)) / 2) to (Owner of (Buying unit)) Current gold
-> Double the tank point value
Player - Add ((Point-value of (Buying unit)) / 4) to (Owner of (Buying unit)) Current goldKenny Wrote:...Even if you can't land the kill on him, you should be making far more gold than he is due to creeps.It's not so much difference, don't forget that the tanks also have the tank cannon skill. But most likely the weaker tank perhaps has a weapon or 2 more, so more dps and a hull. Also possible to own the unskilled heavy tank player if you're quite good BT player. That could be a little hard.
