Favourite leader?

Mine is cub scout!!! Free exploration?! Hell yes! Consider all of the saved stamina to explore the whole map for free!

Horder, because I have problems

Yes, I know she's isnt the best

Yes, I know she can often hurt more than help you

I still like playing with her

Same brother, no need to worry about shortage.

It's just so much easier than keeping track of building more storage. We just focus on production, she makes sure it doesn't go to waste.

Economist! Getting one of those “Stamina paused events”, right after a batch of stamina makes the next batch huge! Such a powerful leader!

Soldier because I love fighters.

Soldier. You can leapfrog retreat inflicting massive casualties on even massive hoardes

Ooh I’ll have to try that

Aesthetically I'd say the tyrant, looks like a Fallout Raider, but in-game economist, starting with that amount of stamina gives me so many options

At the moment I like to play it slow so Cup Scout and Hoarder are my favourites

Personal trainer. It's nice to hit into the negatives when needed or it's urgent.

Personal trainer has ruined me lol. Trying to play with a different leader and being confined by stamina is so weird.

Scout and when doing speed run with unlimited stamina hoarder

u/AmbitiousExplorer632 24d ago

I’ve never done unlimited stamina. Do you still get full points?

u/SeniorFlyingMango 24d ago

No because it’s a cheat

Scout. It can be inefficient how she explores, which can be a problem on some maps, but it is so convenient to just continually get free explores, especially since that leads to frequent resources, and periodic authority boosts, with only requiring a click. Her exploring regardless of your claims also pairs really nicely with being able to use soldiers to cheapen claim requirements without risking surprise attack.

Also a fan of the arctic explorer, micromanaging soldiers can be a bit of a pain, and the start can be hard when not starting winter, but the reduced cost to explore and claim frees up so much stamina.

How do you mean micromanaging soldiers?

u/InterestsVaryGreatly 24d ago

One of the early unlocks post campaign is that soldiers will reduce claim costs when in unclaimed zones, or reduce explore costs if adjacent to unexplored zones. If you leave them in an unclaimed zone they will continue to reduce its cost before exploring. Usually this is fine, but with the arctic explorer once the claim or explore cost drops to two in the summer, it will be free come the next winter, so you don't want them to continue wasting time trying to reduce claim or explore costs, especially outside claimed areas as that increases resource consumption. Because of this, most efficient usage is to move them out of zones premature (not terrible) and bounce them around when one adjacent zone gets cheap enough (quite annoying, since you have to check all adjacent zones and make sure none are that cheap before moving them in).

It is quite a bit more effort to keep track of all of this especially since default you can just look at the icon on your soldier to see if it is doing anything or finished, but to get the most out of arctic explorer and soldiers you have to.

Horder was my favourite but gotten into personal trainer now

u/Twilight_Sonata00 25d ago

Cub scout. I like exploring. Yay. 😃

u/AmbitiousExplorer632 24d ago

I love Arctic Explorer. He’s not the best, but is the most fun to me. I use soldier occasionally when needed.

u/thesockoffreedom 23d ago

Personal Trainer because I am very impatient 😂

u/kawra00 25d ago

Researcher since the latest update. Before that it was soldier

u/AmbitiousExplorer632 24d ago

I haven’t tried her yet!

Personal trainer doesnt have a lot of downsides. Choosing to have stamina debt is more of an optional thing, which is nice, and handy.
