Gameplay ChangesEconomics: As stages progress, the cost of the previous stage's items go down as a sort of supply+demand simulation.
Build timer: As stages progress, the build timer gets lower, and so does the time the structure takes to build.
Team status: You have two icons in your hud (progress bars optional) that tell whether the dcc and rc is up (current health optional).
DCC multiplier: the more dcc's you have, the faster the regen rate is.
