this ♥♥♥♥ is a work in progress. 10+ hours. Formatting pissin me off and the absurd amount of line/spaces I need to make it not look like overlapping, not lined up ♥♥♥♥.
Might be some spelling mistakes either from me or the game as I copy verbatim from what I see at time of posting
edit: apparently you can see upgrade stuff (unlocks etc) in the 7$ official guide >-> if you wanna help out a lot then you can gift it to me to help me do this all




Foremost this game is about luck and good rolls. Those two things will always without fail trump over any alleged "skills" this game doesn't need to be beaten
-Buildings change color by faction Light Blue, Red, Light Green
-Battlefront is entrance to HQ so all you need to know is difficulty=amount you got 1=1 2=2 etc Alright got it now. If you got four entrances, the moment a path connects one to another at some point you lose one battlefront... it is dumb IMO. If you play difficulty 4, connect all pathways at some point where a enemy can access any of the four HQ entrances... then you are down to one battlefront.
-The Endless mode is unlocked after beating difficulty 4
After unlocking endless mode you have the option to continue on endless in any difficulty but there is a stupid high spike a few waves into endless
*important edit aight it is for fact flat out impossible to get far in endless. Gets kindy ranty maybe so you I dunno can skip it. This is difficulty one so only one entrance. After a point a enemy does ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ THOUSANDS of damage. They will bust your ♥♥♥♥ and crack down hard like Disney and Nintendo to someone trying to intentionally plagiarize both of them

Edited the game and froze resources. Everything maxed out and a entirely impossible amount of HQ HP to get in proper gameplay. Screenshot is a halfsecond before I lost the HQ

So another issue aside from the complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ scaling. Tried several time and this is farthest I have ever gotten. Found hack/trainer to drop buildings without using up the BP. I am sure it is legit impossible without the best cleavage commander in game. With enough dupes of her exclusive building you can have the slow stun damage thing that ends up tickling at best >-> It is the last upgrade giving range to everything every ten seconds that is important. Can get everything on the map to shoot the same enemies anywhere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZzJ4shRJUw
Doing this several times I've learned a lot of stuff is flat out worthless later. (Not saying stuff is worthless early on I mean particularly over the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spike that stops you like a cinder-block to the face.) Like light mortar on corners. Designs like a spiral or just only zigzaggy nothing but corner routes leading away from HQ. A long straight is the only way. Spamming units is a MUST cause it pushes stuff away from HQ and can hit the "detection" enemies that WILL ♥♥♥♥ YOU UP since Bastions/Scout Towers can NOT keep up. The spam will also help with enemy dropping right in front of HQ only 3 tiles away. Grenadiers won't work they come out in a stream. Tank are only way. Come out in clumps and you just increase health. Health does more then having more weapons. Explosives are mandatory as the enemies will spawn in huge clumps. Single target weapons becomes worthless. Puma becomes worthless and only Retribution should be used.
Going insane HQ HP mandatory so IF something gets through the you can take a several THOUSAND hit so gotta do madator around HQ and have to roll several HQ hp doctrines (ESPECIALLY +100 hq hp when placing building)..... lastly... well.... you can see how it goes in the video (also placing down every single platform takes a LOOONG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time)






-Q E to rotate the camera
-If you place down a building and do not upgrade it (in the break period) you can cancel its placement (minor exceptions)
-If you place down anything while being attacked you will not have option to cancel placement
-The tech you start with are pretty much for all intents the only tech you will have the entire match. Spend it wisely. Best used for more supply production as you can't buy anything without supply. You can unlock a doctrine that will give you tech but only if it comes up as a option in the run... so don't bet on it
-Every entrance to HQ must be accessible










-Always build away from HQ as flying units will make a mockery of your lanes
-not really all to helpful but clicking on a tower, the top right the numbers are how much damage that tower has done












-There is ♥♥♥♥ all info on what units do or what they might do. Like does the "Field Medic" heal? boost atk? who knows....
Ok so apparently nothing they do ♥♥♥♥ all but boost HP. Dev qoute "Each officer, chaplain, field medic, ect, what they do is explain in the upgrade. They all do the same thing: they increase infantry HP. (It's a bugler! A person who plays the bugle) "
-"Vehicle: Tanks and Beryt
Infantry: Everything (except tanks)(Beryt being a Commander he counts both as Infantry and Vehicle)"
-- If inside description but is inside () and in italics I wrote it personally

-not sure on this one but seems like the higher difficulties give better chances for higher tier bp/doctrines


-There is only one way to stop lanes from extending and that is by shutting them off like this
All further tiles will just be full land tiles without lanes



Detection "Can fire on Camouflaged units" detection means only units with it can fire at the two camo enemies Deviscor and Lecos. Without it they just say ♥♥♥♥ you and skip right into the HQ and bend you over backward.
-Troops (Infantry+Vehicles)
-Barriers and Plasma Fences hurt them and any ground unit trying to get through.

Any tower combined with,
- Medium mortar: 250 Data Sharing: Adjacent buildings gain 15% Rate of Fire and Detection
- Air command: 350 Aerial Coordination: Adjacent buildings gain +15% Rate of Fire and Detection
Or
- Rampart silo missile (all towers gain Detection)
750 Target Acquisition H1: If adjacent to at least 7 all buildings gain Detection (dev confirms it is all buildings not just the adjacent one. Can also be seen top right under "active mods""

Most unique commander and even though it ain't much, by being able to move "Scarletts team" at any time she is technically the only commander where you can actively participate in the battle. Also tomboys in hot pants are the best, second only to goths.
Important noteFC makes no ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sense as it is spelling error but quoting dev on steam
Bartosaure-"The HQ takes less damage. (The HQ becomes harder to destroy)" So HQ takes 2% less damage each wave. This answer in response to question Sanglaine-"So does this mean the HQ takes 2% less damage per wave or you deal 2% less damage per wave or what? The wording is unclear."

























50 recon Omega Scanner: Buildings adjacent to Scarlett;s team gain Detection
50 recon Auto-Mappers: Captain Scarlett's team gains +50% Damage and +1 Range

125 recon Ammo Crate: Buildings adjacent to Scarlett's team gain +25% Damage

Made a very nice post explaining the convoluted way to unlock the advanced buildings, in a thread. To make it much easier for people to read it, I've taken and posted it here.

---

hey guys
let me try to explain how to get those unlocks, but u need to stick with me here, it is a bit complicated and unintuitive and the game does not explain this at all, and the in game hint is somewhat misleading.






























in order to unlock the advanced versions of the buildings that i marked in "fig1" u need to unlock the doctrins i marked in "fig2". in order to to unlock the doctrines in "fig2" u need to unlock AND activate the to the specific building corresponding expertise-doctrine, i marked all expertise doctrines in "fig3"
i pointed out the difference between the unlocking and the activation of the expertise-doctrines, because there is a major difference in how to do either of these things. the unlock u only need to do once, once the doctrine is unlocked u r able to activate it in any given game if u fulfill the activation requirement.

in order to unlock the expertise doctrines u need to stack the "costs"-doctrine to the corresponding building 3 times in a single game. (as i sayid u only need to do this once)

in order to activate the expertise-doctrine u need to stack the "efficiency"-doctrine 3 times and then roll the expertise doctrine from the deck, only after u stacked efficiency 3 times will the expertise doctrine be available in ur current deck in the game (this u need to do in every single game u want to have access to the expertise doctrines)

While you can unlock and activate the expertise doctrines in the same game, you cannot unlock and activate the expertise doctrine and unlock the doctrine for the advanced-buildings in the same game.

let me try to explain this further:
lets say u wanted to get the "advanced scout hideout" and u do not have the "scout hideout expertise"-doctrine yet.
u would need to start a game and in that game get "scout hideout costs" (-10% costs for the scout hideout) 3 times. in that same game u could also stack "scout hideout efficiency" 3 times and then u would be able to draw the "scout hideout expertise"-doctrine (+5 discovery) in that game. but this would not unlock the "advanced scout hideout" yet. in order to unlock the building u would need to play another game after the one u unlocked the "scout hideout expertise"-doctrine in, and stack another "scout hideout efficiency" 3 times and draw the "scout hideout expertise"-doctrine. and only after all that u would have unlocked the building.

after u unlocked the advanced buildings u have access to those buildings in any given game without any prequesite (besides the imperial barracks ofc that one u can only get if u play an iron dragons commander)

the costs and efficiency doctrines r only accessable after u put the corresponding building on the field in that game, so if ur hunting for a specific expertise doctrine u want to limit the diffrent buildings u play that game, because the more diffrent buildings that have cost and efficiency doctrines, the more u will water down ur deck (have more in this case unwanted doctrine options).

it is also noteworthy that the advanced versions of any building do not activate the effeciency and cost doctrines (i.e. if u have only 1 mirador on the field, and that one is the "advanced mirador) the mirador effeciency and cost doctrines will never show up, the only would if u put down the regular version of the mirador

Don't matter but if you want to needlessly unlock everything under Frontier Mode more then half are negative so you have to run Frontier with this





this is what all weapons look like
