I really think you should use a "light touch" when balancing. Making the sandstorms weaker to infantry was an appropriate change, however raising their cost by 30% was drastic and has the effect that I can't get them deployed in time to make a difference. Whats the point of having "epic" units if they're going to be nerfed into Oblivion?
Also, this isn't a balancing suggestion, but I'd enjoy an all out war mode, meaning fight till the enemy base is destroyed but with no nuke to control. As it is now the game caters to only one basic strategy which is quickly flip nuke control near the end of the meter.
What Vecima said, Sandstorms were too useful against infantry but they didn't need the 30% cost increase. They're extremely difficult to get out now for how fragile they're against other epic units. Titan's and Storm Troopers are just flat out better choices then the Sandstorm now.
I still think the 2nd harvester should ALWAYS cost tiberium, right now I feel there isn't enough risk in rushing double harvesters when compared trying to shut it down, the player trying to shut it down is punished even more if he fails and if he succeeds it doesn't even feel impactful since you're spending it on a 2nd harvester yourself just to catch up.
