Mine balance suggestion

[dumbluck]

Almost OT, but...

What if you modded the size of the minesweeper?

• Level 1 = 1 mine swept in a 20kt component.
• Level 2 = 2 mine swept in a 30kt component.
• Level 3 = 3 mines swept in a 40kt component.
  

That way, you make smaller gains in your minesweeping abilities. Therefore, mines are more feasable.
Additionally, you could seperate the Mines and Minesweeping tech trees. Then it could be something like :

• level 1: 1 swept/30kt
• level 2: 1 swept/25kt
• level 3: 1 swept/20kt
• level 4: 2 swept/30kt
• level 5: 2 swept/25kt
  etc. etc. etc.
  

And then, minesweeping could be made dependant on Mines research. MS level 1 requires Mines 1, MS level 4 requires Mines 2, etc. etc. etc.
