SUBTERFUGE Forums

Does anybody know why?

My best guess is that to attack a sentry it is most efficient to send waves of subs with 20 drillers - who are then all killed when the sentry is promoted.

However, many people avoid war heros because they are only useful in the early game (for the most part).

Thoughts?

War hero is just very clutch and very specific. I think he fits a perfectly fine role, as nobody ever expects him. I've only used him once and I got a compliment as it changed the entire fight dynamic, but I know how to use him now. I honestly believe the only way to balance him is to leave him untouched but give more specialists promotions.

He does seem a little underpowered because of his lack of a global, but he does what he needs to do very well. The chance of promoting a sentry to a War Hero makes attacking an outpost with a sentry at it unfavourable. He can be useful on defence and offence, and becomes a lot more useable when coupled with other specialists, such as a helmsman.

Actually, for 2 hires you are getting a specialist that kills 20 drillers.
However, for 4 hires you are getting 2 specialists which travel faster and make every one of your specialists worth an extra 2 hires.
I can't see how that makes sense.

Which two specialists are you referring to with the four hires?
