AWC will not in fact award a perk that is already in their skill tree. This is not true unless 'commanders choice' is confusing the mechanics. I have people who have AWC abilities from their normal skill tree which means I was able to pick a different skill from the regular tree which was really ni...

Agreed. A full understanding of the mechanics behind it would be nice. Like how to reduce advent strength in a region. My starting region is at strength 10 at the moment so I skipped it's regional HQ in fear and focused on a newer region. But if I could reduce the strength there I would certainly ma...

Advent must think I was born yesterday. Well advent are clones who may or may not understand human reproduction. In their mind being born yesterday is a distinct possibility. LOL. Perhaps! Regardless, my policy of not recruiting anyone for havens during that month of the faceless dark event paid of...

Yup, I myself just discovered this last night after using my firebug technical and his cloud of smoke saving him from death shortly afterwards. Now all my shinobis, specialists and assaults carry smoke... I always valued flashbangs over every other grenade type simply for instantly freeing my mind c...

OK, problem solved! I sent 3 tech sergeants to my regions and found a few more faceless. Got my first month of faceless free income! Yipee! a Big bad 35 supplies.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Sounds like a worthy investment then...

Couple of further questions... they sound helpful but HOW much of a battlefield impact? Would you rush mechanised warfare or just coast till lost tower?

So yeah, SPARKS.

From my recollection I never really used them in the standard campaign... but how about in longwar 2? Are they worth the expense?
