I'm trying to move a queen from point A to point B with 50 drillers. The only threat is 100 drillers reachable with a pirate. If I have a sabo with my queen, will this redirect the pirate with 100 drillers like I think it would?

Unfortunately not. Combat will still process through to the drill phase and you'll lose that. 100d pirate vs 50d with a saboteur is still a losing combination.

You may have more success staying at your outpost and forcing your opponents to attack you. Then your saboteurs will deflect any attack successfully.


For future reference this post would be better in the QUESTIONS forum.

Remember, a saboteur is only effective in sub to sub combat
