This idea has already been tested in WFA and people seem to use these sniper units rarely. In theory they have crit chance, more sniper rifles and lower chance of getting wiped. In practice, their performance if very RNG dependent and they don't let you win your engagement any better than another supporting infantry squad would. This is because they can't decrease enemy dps in whole engagement by sniping one model when it begins like EFA snipers were designed to.

There is much easier way to remove the "one man army" snipers from the game while keeping their support role. All one needs to do is making them slightly slower than other infantry, so they can't soft retreat when unsupported.

I believe both PF and LJ got used a bit when both those doctrines were more meta based. Not too sure about PFs but LJs were big when scavenge was OP.

Barfinders can be great though.

One thing to note about strawman is that it has to be unrelated/irrelevant . In my opinion (This can vary of course), when talking about balance then a players rank or playercard is not out of the question. This is because some players think things are OP because they don't know the factions or counters to said units.

For example lets say I'm talking about how the Jackson is too op, then someone comes along and says something like "You cant use the JP4 or Stug so your opinion is invalid." That would be strawman because there is not really a correlation between the 2 arguments and I didn't talk about either of those units.

Meanwhile lets say someone whos rank 2000+ OKW only says the Jackson OP. Bringing up the fact that they do not play USF or other allied factions is reasonable evidence for why his or her opinion may be less credible then someone whos top 100-200 in all factions.

Similarly if someone brings up an old replay or post and attacks that instead of your argument that would be strawman also.

This is just an example of course.

For some reason I expected something more in the lines of "New and improved" rather than that

Btw I heard rumours about a permanent source of steam cores but never stumbled upon it. Would have wanted a lot more automatons in my city but was very resource strapped for those. Did you happen to find anything related to that?

I succeeded on my third try, around half my population died due to the generator almost going down on overdrive, I also worked my coal people 24/7 but kept discontent down by public executions.

I’m hoping to see both a winter home and Tesla city expansion and I have also heard that you can get a permanent steam core supply their also, I’m guessing it’s pretty rare.

Hey guys, 11 bit Studio, the developers of This War of Mine, just released Frostpunk on steam. I'd really recommend it as its a great city builder that can get really hard at higher difficulties.

The synopsis of the game is that the earth has gone through a great cooling into brutally cold temperatures. As the "captain" your job is to provide and keep the "City" alive through any means possible. It really puts a great turn on the whole City Builder genre with a great apocalyptic setting. Currently its selling at $30 dollars on steam, I'd love to hear stories about how you kept your city alive!
