* Is spamming wind laggy? You need 90 windgens to match a single singu... I have been in games where we literally teamkilled our own winds to fight the lag! The only reason I don't spam winds every game is because of the lag...

I like the idea of making the wind calculation less dramatic than it currently is, regardless of any other steps taken, by the way...

1. Make wind less desirable by nerfing in some way (More cost, less generation...)

2. Make winds a higher weight unit, to reduce their numbers. Double cost, Double Footprint.

3. What if winds degraded the power output of nearby winds? This allows them to continue their current early game role and balance, as well as "plop next to this mex" but makes large farms impractical and rewards taking empty land.

a. Have a wind check within some range; output_power = power/(1 + nearby_winds * .1)

Wind... We have this weird situation where the cheapest unit is also the best unit. It's never worth it to make anything else until you are out of space.

Fusion
is
in
no
way
superior
to
wind
unless
you
are
out
of
space.
Wind
also
gets
built
incrementally,
making
fusions
never
pay
off
VS
winds
-
EVER.
They
should
give
some
benefit
for
waiting
to
have
it
built,
like
singu
does,
by
being
more
efficient
than
winds
or
solars.

Should singu be more vulnerable? Yes, but I would like to have other viable energy production options as well. One BB shouldn't trash my entire eco!
