Is a specialist worth x drillers in a battle? Sometimes I see battle resolution that doesn't make sense with the numbers. Sorry if this was explained somewhere I must have missed it.
No, it does not include any information that you wouldn't be able to glean yourself. I.e. If your opponent has a mine scheduled, it will not take this into account. The same is true for your opponent's time machines.
Some specialists give combat bonuses. You should read the descriptions of each, and check "combat preview" to get an accurate run-down of what the math is.
