First :D ✌ the Ammo tech is in machinery roster :) / As it stand's, you may focus on getting the soil filtration going as your rares dry out. Given your current position the capacity for such an building is there. As in the near future there be more strong enemy's on each border (^.^) what will require to use poly armor to save life's as it was one of your bigger issues in them war's in the past. Getting the eco back on track, perhaps even with heavy industrial plant may proof a huge boon later on, as then you can focus much more on creating troops instead. Thanks for all the hard work

Yes I definitely need to get my industry going now before the wars really start to kick in. I want to grab that southern zone asap though, even if it does cost me some casualties. Thanks for the continued support, it's much appreciated!

I also was curious for you to look at your new Quad MG and Rocket Launcher to see if they have Ammo Compaction.

One thing I recently learned about workers is that they will leave if there is a disparity between private worker salaries and public salaries (set in the governor's settings). If you hover over the worker happiness tab it will show you why worker happiness is rising or diminishing. Nine times out of ten if you have problems keeping workers, it's because the private economy is paying better than the public economy.

That's often a reason yes. You want to keep those two wages balanced if possible

15:49 - Your cursor passed right over Ammo Compaction here. :) You've had that tech for quite a while. You said you had trouble searching properly because you're under pressure. When I record, I find pausing the recording in these moments helps a lot.

I'll pause if it's something important, but I'm glad you were able to spot it.

All of this waiting around in the south is just killing me haha

Yes things seem to be ready there, I'm really just surprised you weren't beaten to the Punch by the neighbour

5:34 - I don't know about this screen, but if you look at the mine on the main map UI, it tells you how much is left in the bottom right corner of the screen when you have the mine selected.

I know about that one, was curious to see if you could see in the MGT screen too.

21:36 - Interesting... I just re-tested 25mm artillery again with Envirosuits instead of Combat Armor, and they still only move 1 hex.

I see, if that is the case it kind of makes Siege Infantry useless and I don't think that is intended. From beta patch notes: "-25mm AT and 25mm Artillery Guns now have Foot movement instead of artillery movement. * " This did require a new game to be started but this came in before the Demons were added so I absolutely should have this rule in play.

You'll see in my latest turns (they'll be showing on Sunday) that I can indeed move full infantry move with the artillery 25mm guns, so I wonder if you've started your game on an old version?

​@@battlemode I thought it was new enough, but maybe the 25mm movement is newer than I thought. It must be if it's working for you. I suspect I will continue only using Siege Infantry with trucks or APCs, so it doesn't really affect me. On paper, it seems they will have a terrible time doing much to Combat Armor, much less anything above. Plus, truck movement on roads is extremely useful. However, if they prove effective for you, I might change my mind.

I answered your question in the last video episode about the 25mm being pulled by infantry, BTW. I know YT's not good about sending you notifications of replies.

Hiya if you ever do an other SE series, please consider starting at tech level 4. It improves the game in my opinion. Helps the AI, speeds things up.

@@battlemode It gives them a functional economy which only needs steady expansion, instead of having to start from scratch.
