To quote the manual (section 5.12.4 FIELD TESTING):

Maximum Base Design Stat is 120 + (10 * version number of Model).

<t> You're probably still learning the game. It is complicated, and it takes time to somehow figure out each of the mechanics and systems involved. But eventually, you'll go faster.<br/>
<br/>
Once you've figured out a mechanic, you will find the issue and solve it faster when there is one. Maybe ...

<r> I'm pretty sure it's already covered in the War Room, in the <LINK link="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4831079"><s>[link=https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4831079]</s>post zgrssd wrote about model design<e>[/link]</e></LINK>. There's also a DasTactic video on the topic ...

<t> In my experience, the more spies infiltrated in a major regime, the better the intelligence. Not really the matter of time.<br/>
But some intelligence might only come from diplomacy (i.e. trade agreements, research pacts, military alliances).<br/>
I'm unable to tell if spying can yield the ...

<t> Exploration in Shadow Empire is not done like in a Civilization game. In a civilization-like, you can move units all around the globe because there is no supply system. In Shadow Empire, as it has been said, you need to push supplies along a road to go further.<br/>
<br/>
Exploration is mostly ...

In the manual, look for 3.3.1. HOTKEYS.

I don't believe they require materials to be repaired, only workers assigned. Even a maintenance only skeleton crew is enough for the assets to get fully repaired over time.

It might take some time though. Rocket attacks can be quite devastating, especially if repeated.

<t> The number in the round bubble pertains to damage inflicted by explosive shells, whether it be artillery, rockets, or even howitzer tanks.<br/>
It makes more sense when there are assets to be damaged there, but I seem to recall seeing that bubble even in hexes where there are none. However, it ...

<t> There's a roundabout way: bring them to where the SHQ is, then use the transfer sub-units function to transfer the contents of the militia unit into the SHQ. <br/>
I use it to get rid of depleted militia battalions after a point, as the sub-units are used by the SHQ to reinforce the regiments I ...

<t> Didn't you sort of answer your question yourself?<br/>
<br/>
I used to think biggest is best was a no brainer in armored vehicle design, until I ran into logistics issues too. Now I'm experimenting with how light I can get away with, and have APCs that do no require much more fuel than trucks ...

<t> I think the slaver in town events are a different thing than what Beorn is talking about, which is more about diplomatic decisions pertaining to a neighboring slaver regime.<br/>
<br/>
I also think the crossing of the borders and the abductions are an abstraction, just like your OHQ commander ...

Indeed. Even alien lifeforms are perfectly happy to respect the borders of AI minor regimes, but the instant you annex the latter, the former will then go for nearby hex perks and cities.
It's just a quirk you have to be aware of.

<t> Fuel feels weird to me.<br/>
<br/>
According to the manual, it is moved by pipes and has no so called « weight », which in my understanding would mean it cost 0 Logistics Points to move around. It must be true only when it's moving between zones and SHQ.<br/>
<br/>
Actually, it seems fuel as ...

<t> Well, if you want to replace them with high speed ones, you sort of have too, since as of now, regular train stations cannot be upgraded to high speed, and even prevent you from building a high speed one in the same hex.<br/>
<br/>
It all depends on how much havoc closing the regular stations ...

<t> We might easier help if you shared a screen capture. <br/>
32 % is what you have, you need at least 50 % for the button not to be greyed out. <br/>
But you said you produced the troops needed which are now sitting in the SHQ, is that correct? I'm not familiar with the Reform screen, but if ...

I'll quote Twotribes from earlier:

ORIGINAL: Twotribes

You also need a Staff Council to research and discovery your army formations. That leader needs war skill and high command.

<t> I noticed that too.<br/>
<br/>
Militia units seem to each have a specific TOE which you can check upon in the Unit Admin panel. In on of my current games, the Zone Militia spawned an RPG Militia sub-unit which stayed in the SHQ forever because none of the existing militia units missed any such ...

<t> I've been trying to upgrade a brigade into a motorized siege brigade, and noticed the SHQ fails to pick up excess infantry troops.<br/>
<br/>
I tried several methods, and now the whole brigade is sitting in the same city as the SHQ to ensure there is no logistics issue. It was downgraded all ...

Good points. I should have prefaced my advice with saying I've been playing in regular difficulty.

Out of curiosity, why do you motorize artillery? Is it to able able to move it one hex to reach a target without losing as much readiness than if it went by foot?

<t> This is the second time I notice the same artifact has been found three times. This one was particularly striking because it was 3 Gravitonic Collectors - a potent energy generating asset - that were excavated from the very same tile.<br/>
<br/>
This made me suspicious there might be a glitch ...
