Having more base hp means a runner bashing on your base for one or two turns won't be a problem anymore, and it makes games longer for special units to come into play. I don't think making bigger maps would work, because that pretty much means your units won't be able to get back to base fast enough if your base was getting attacked by a runner.

Well, with a bigger map, it's going to take longer for a runner to get to your base, thereby letting you create a better defense, plus, you should never leave your base unguarded . Also spawn points are always close by in case you get caught in the position.

Still, I do see what you mean and I believe it would of course have to be play tested to make sure it is balanced.

But yes, the more I play the more I really do think the base needs more health, and that runners are that much more important in the current build. Doing basically a 'zerg' rush can win you the game too quickly, and being that you can have two heavys close to your base, against a swarm of lets say 4-5 runners for example, one would think heavies can take a group all on their own, but the game only allows one attack per character.

Which suddenly makes me think, maybe the heavies for their cost and slowness, should have the ability to move once, but attack twice in one turn, twice being only allowed against two different units next to him, not twice to the same unit? It was a sudden thought while I was typing this, so it possibly just would not work, but I thought I would throw it out there.
