This is an attempt to generally balance the titans using server-side only changes. Intended to be a rough drop-in improvement for server hosts running any mode with titans. If you are looking for something more comprehensive, and do not mind client-side changes, look into Dinorush's excellent LTS specific rebalance of the titans.
Thanks to Dinorush, some of my changes, numbers and small parts of some scripts are lifted straight from the LTS rebalance.
If you'd like to contribute your complaints, suggestions or praises, you can join the relevant channel on my discord at https://discord.gg/CYgSUecryp
The mod also includes a script that will allow players to use the !titans chat command to access the changelog for any titan, as well as get summaries of changes to their current titan. This requires FSU to work.
Get FSU here: Fifty's Server Utilities
You CAN run the rebalance without FSU. You will not be able to use the !titans command, but contextual titan change info can still be enabled in mod.json.
