This change decreases the damage radius of the GLA Demo death weapon to better match the other suicide weapons. Affects most GLA Demo units after Demo Upgrade. It is a minor nerf.
Note:
The death/destroyed weapon refers to the weak Demo unit explosion after Demo Upgrade, when a unit is killed.
The suicide weapon refers to the strong Demo unit explosion after Demo Upgrade, when a unit is suicided.
In other words:
Rationale
It is not logical that the death weapon of GLA Demo units has a larger damage radius than the suicide weapon of GLA Demo units, despite dealing much less damage. The damage radius reduction helps to make the damage setup more predictable and consistent.
Consequently this change nerfs the Demo Upgrade just a bit, which is welcomed, because Demo Upgrade is a very strong upgrade for the GLA Demolition General.
