SUBTERFUGE Forums

1) About speed of a smuggler

Suppose I send a smuggler to an outpost, which is not mine. But during the travel other group of my drillers take that outpot. Will the smuggler change speed of the sub to triple ath the final part of the travel? And vice versa, if the smuggler's target outpost is taken by an opponent, will the smuggler switch the speed to normal?

2) About cost of mines

Suppose I built a mine, but it was taken by an opponent. After that I decide to build another one. How much will it cost? 50 or 100 drillers? Vice versa, I take an opponent's mine and after that decide to build one more. How much will it cost - 50 or 100?

3) Accumulation of global effects

As far as I understand, any local effects accumulate. So, if I have two infiltrators in a crew, they draw 40 shields. But do global effects accumulate? For example, if I have two Generals, do I hit 20 opponent's drillers at any battle, where I have a specialist? The same question abour Engineers, Intellegence Officers, Security Chiefs, Tycoons, Admirals, Kings?

1) Yes.

2) I built 2 mines and conquered 1. My next mine still costs 200. Even when I lose the conquered mine and retake it again it stays at 200. Not sure what happens if someone takes one of the mines I actually build.

3) didn't observed this myself, but someone in the forums said generals do stack. So, as far is I know, yes.

1.) Yes
2.) The cost of your mines is determined only by how many mines you have drilled, not how many you have. So if I lose one of my two mines, my next mine does still cost 200 drillers.
It's designed as an incentive for players to play more aggressively. It might cost less than 200 drillers for you to conquer another person's mine.
3.) Yes. Things can get quite out of hand if you have 2 Kings, 2 Security Chiefs, 2 Generals, etc.

Thank you very much!

So, two Engineers will revive a half of destroyed drillers?

Globally, yes. And if you have both on one sub, they revive 100% of the drillers on that sub.

I suggest checking the wiki - most effects do stack, but there are some (speed boosts I know at least) that don't stack and simply the greater advantage applies. The wiki has sections under each specialist covering stacking & combos.

I've updated this page to list which of the specialists have stacking abilities and which do not:

Specialist Stacking

Just to reiterate everything said above.

1. Yes speed changes based on control.

2. Drilled mines always increase your next drilled mine. So if you spent 50 already the next one will be 100 no matter what. Even if you capture a mine it just produces more Nept. for you it does not reduce driller cost nor does it increase driller cost.

3. Yes global effects stack. No some local effects do not stack. Such as 2 Generals on the same sub will not increase it twice.
