minor thoughts on Zeal units

[M. Flarre]

first of all, Zeal seems to be having less trained units. Gensec elits for example, they are hard to dominate and almost immune to pain considering that they can withstand shotgun impact.
However Zeal regular and heavy units tend to give up fighting pretty easily when got shouted at, and they just fly around and can get up when they are under constant fire.
At this moment, Zeal

and dozers, all Zeal bulldozers wield pumpaction shotguns as I remember, making them easier to be stunned and get spammed fire in the face to death if no backup units are around.

I know they have massively increased modifiers, but I think it would be better give them Gensec elite-like survivality but less health/damage and less spawn rate instead for the balance in my opinion.

what do you guys think?

Uh, no, the domination mechanic is identical across all difficulties: Damage them and they almost always surrender. And the ZEAL Dozer comes in three flavors, too. With a very similar color coding (Green, Black and White), as it was a bug on release that only the green version spawned.

easier to be stunned

Dozers are unstunnable now.

oops, I meant stunning with counter-stike skill.
Skulldozers have rapid firing LMG so it's not easy to get close and melee, but Zeal dozers have relatively relatively lower fire rate so player can try to stun them if they are brave/desperate enough.

Oh, then it makes more sense :)
