This roadmap will highlight the difference steps that are going to be taken to change some of Empires gameplay. None of this is final and there will be no dates.

=Current=
We are currently testing Trickster's scripts changes which focus on changing Infantry and early game vehicle dynamic.
* Reduction in cost for AFV/LT (-50) and APC (-100)
* Increase in cost for commander turrets(+25)
* Reduction in cost for Armouries (-25)
* Re-introduction of the BE Burst Rifle and Machine Pistol, damage and magazine sizes increased to compensate
* Head-shot multiplier on all weapons reduced to 2x (3x for Scout rifles)
* Bullet damage falloff distance on all weapons changed from 5000 units to 10000 units, minimum damage changed from approximately 75% of max damage to 50% max damage
* Concussion grenade damage increased from 20 to 40
* Shotgun damage per pellet increased from 15 to 20 (all 3 shotguns)
* Increased Command Vehicle's Armor damage multiplier from 0.75 to 1.

=Phase I=
The first phase of those changes is to remove all extra 2/3 slot copies of weapons, they do not offer anything more to the game and make weapons that were 3 slot only feel like any other weapon.

==Part I==
Removing all the extra weapons
* Removed Weapons (and their research)
** Default
*** 1 Slot Artillery Cannon
** Physics
*** 2 slot Plasma Cannon
*** 3 slot Extended Range Cannon
** Chemistry
*** 3 slot High-Explosive Cannon
*** 3 slot Upgraded Missile Launcher
** Electrical
*** 2 slot Railgun
*** 3 slot Guided Missile Launcher
*** 3 slot Homing Missile Launcher
*** Salvo Homing Missile Launcher
** Biological
*** 3 slot Biological Cannon
*** 3 slot Biological Missile

==Part II==
Making it so tanks can only fit one weapon per slot.
* Chassis
** Armored Personnel Carrier
*** Maximum Grenade Launchers changed from 2 to 1.
** Medium Tank
*** Maximum Missile Launchers changed from 2 to 1.
** Heavy Tank
*** Maximum Machine Guns changed from 2 to 1.
*** Maximum Missile Launchers changed from 6 to 2. (3 to 1 for BE)

== Part III==
Adjusting the values of the remaining weapons to fit the new balance, making 3 slot weapons an actual third tier.

=Phase II=
Phase 2 will focus on re-ordering some of the research and adding new weapons.

==Part I==
Part one will be changes to the research tree.
* Physics
** Extended Range Artillery Shells will have its own research under Projectile Physics
** Depleted Uranium and .50cal Machine Guns will be separate researches
*** Depleted Uranium Machine Gun will be 2 slot only
** Plasma Machine Gun will be 3 slot only
* Biology
** Replace Biological Weaponry by Chemical Dispersion and Projectile Coating
*** Projectile Coating
**** Biological Cannon
**** Biological Machine Gun
*** Chemical Dispersion
**** Biological Missile
* Electrical Engineering
** Homing Missile will be 3 slot only
** <new research name>
*** Salvo Missile Launcher
** Remove Upgraded Turret Research
* Chemistry
** High Explosive Artillery shells will have its own research under Improved Detonation Compounds
** Removed Salvo Missile Launcher from Upgraded Missile Launcher research
** High-Explosive Machine Gun will be 3 slot only
* Structural Engineering (new tree)
** MG Turret Level 2
** ML Turret Level 2
** Advanced Turrets (need a proper name)
*** MG Turret Level 3
*** ML Turret Level 3

==Part II==
part two is adding new weapons

* Physics
** Plasma Grenade Launcher
*** Research will be under Superheated Materials Physics
* Chemistry
** <insert name>
*** Research will be under Improved Warhead Compound
*** 3 slot Missile Launcher that generates 4 explosions in quick succession
* Electrical
** Salvo Grenade Launcher
*** Fires 4 grenades in quick succession
*** Research will be under <insert research name) (same as Salvo Missile Launcher)
* Biological
** Biological Grenade Launcher
*** Research will be under Chemical Dispersion

== Part III==
