Most people know that, but what I've never seen discussed is the fact that that uncontacted regions aren't affected by the weekly vigilance burn off. This will usually be a large net positive change in net vigilance, especially if it's your first liberation, and very more especially if you take into consideration the 4 legion kills that you can potentially get. When you liberate, vigilance in the liberated region drops to one (the minimum number allowed), but all adjacent regions gain +3 and all other regions gain +1. It also means that my rebels start gaining levels sooner.Īnother thing about liberations is that they create a special form of vigilance. Even if I can't afford to do much with a new region, I can always just put everyone on recruit. I'll pick up more as the game progresses, but I'd stop altogether at 4.Īs for contacted regions, I expand as quickly as my comm capacity allows. I try to get one liberated region quickly, right at or even before laser weapons, and then back off a bit.
This isn't to say that liberation is bad or worthless, but rather that there is a balance to be struck. When you liberate, you lose all of those advantages. 15 legions piled up in a region are 15 legions not bugging you elsewhere. High strength regions don't generate many actionable missions, but they serve as a holding pen for ADVENT strength. Mid strength regions generate Troop Ambushes. Low strength regions generate things like Jailbreaks, High Value Prisoners, and the various data raids. The result being that it'll be more expensive to expand if you don't try and get some free Radio Towers along the way.ĭefinitely do not liberate all, or even most, of your contacted regions.ĪDVENT controlled regions are very valuable. In 1.3, that theory may change as winning the Tower mission in each region gives you a free Radio Tower and purchased Radio Towers will be much more expensive. While it's possible to win the game with only 1 region liberated, it's more common to aim for 3 regions liberated for the steady supply income and then liberate other regions if it is strategically convenient. As you liberate each region you should be opening at least one new region to replace it. In general, 3 contacted regions is sufficient to provide more than enough missions in the early game. Aside from getting bonus contacts, that's the limit on regions you can contact without the radio room in the avenger. From there, you can liberate 1 or 2 regions over a couple months, allowing you to increase your contacts and expand towards the Blacksite (which will now be visible). A common strategy is to expand to 3 regions relatively quickly, while attempting liberation missions as they appear.
