Zero-K v1.7.2.0 - Flea Nerf

After some much-needed life maintenance, the summer (or 'ɹǝɯɯns') Zero-K development break is over. During the break we received a Hunter model and some much improved animations for the Cloakbots. The major changes of this version are to Flea, in the form of a nerf, and Space Lobsters, in the form of a physics tweak.

Flea:

• Range 155 -> 150
• DPS reduced by 7.3%
• Decloak radius 120 -> 200

Other changes:

• Put a cap on Space Lobster by setting a limit on the projected flight time of lobbed units.
• Halberd can no longer change armour state while disarmed.
• Improved the walk animations of the Cloakbots.
• Replaced the Hunter model.
• Hid the modoptions window in matchmaker games.
• Potentially fixed an undead Outlaw error.
• Chicken Queen health multiplier modoption can now be set higher.
• Reworked Into Battle startboxes for 1v1.

Hunter

Chicken Queen health multiplier modoption can now be set higher.

cant set it higher then 10x, wasnt it the same before? I was now thinking about the realy Hardcore Challenging, Chickenqueen with 100x more HP or 200x xD

Modoption will need a lobby client update to take effect. The release date for this is not currently set.

I recall being able to bring new chicken settings into play through chat commands. Are you sure, Histidine?

Here it would be something like "!setoptions queenhealthmod=30".

Not to you, i guess.

Well, I forgot chat commands were still a thing. "Proper" support would be good though.
