[quote]just it is a second factory that requires you to have a Strider Hub. The tech requirement is nowhere near your doom-saying arisen of 'late to very late'.[/quote]

if you need a secondary fac to build it it is strictly not "secondary". when people build strider hubs it typically is quite late in the game and nobody builds an athena for 1200, even with double bp.

unless
it
actually
is
the
"very
late"
game,
the
strider
hub
is
not
going
to
be
used,
because
you
probably
wont
simultaneously
be
building
striders
and
cloaked
armiers
behind
the
enemy
base
at
any
meaningful
speed.

i think the problem is that these factories are already bad 2nd fac choices, and youre not making them any more viable compared to other, more popular 2nd fac choices like tanks or airplanes.

youre just forcing the player to make factories they dont want to build when they want a particular unit, which ends up making that unit less attractive.

i wouldnt normally consider building a spider fac just for spies unless i absolutely needed them and i had no alternative, which rarely ever happens. similarly, i would totally consider using athenas on a hilly map to make an impaler or two, not so much a vehicle factory.

anyway, all of this could also have been adressed by changing athenas unit lineup.
