I have yet to finish it on hard, just finished the main story on hard saving everyone.
What path did you go, Faith or Order?
At least on the main story Houses Of Healing and Infirmaries were enough and I'm gonna try the same style with the Refugees mission. Extra Rations for the Ill is so damn helpful in sorting through masses of sick. The few hours it takes off from treatment times starts to add up especially if you have supplies to spam it daily.
As a sidenote I feel Order could use some extra stuff/abilities/buffs to incentivize picking it. Faith seems to have a lot more utility and can help you in so many different aspects from work efficiency to Heating.
They also don't get the same base RA of squads they merge into. You're trading manpower and reinforce time for 5-10% less RA on those models. On shocks it's really significant because they don't get the 50% armor bonus.
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 chose Faith since it seemed more reasonable. I always tried to keep hope as high as possible and it seemed like a safer choice for a 0 death run. I ignored the harsher methods on that as well but I saw the New Faith Law at the end of the tree but didn't go too far to see the description of it
Best of luck with the Arks side mission on hard, I know I would have failed it the first time if I had chosen the hardest difficulty
But how did you get banished? I saw a streamer doing public executions and sending tens of people to death in the mines right at the final hours and he managed to stay in power despite the over-the-top dictatorship.
Max discontent for too long. I thought because it was the finale it would be ok to make them work in the mines with 24 hour shifts because their lives depended on that fuel. Didn't expect them to really kick me out.
Order seemed way less useful. With the faith path the buildings you got had nice bonuses, particularly the soup kitchens. Order didn't have anything like that.
On the New Hope campaign I failed the first try during the finale by getting banished, though everyone would have starved to death anyways. Second one was much easier when I knew what I wanted to do. I played at default both times, I think I saved most of my people. I went full Snow Jesus and accepted all settlers in, including like 200 ill and 100 gravely wounded, so a bunch of them died. I saved about 550.
For the seed ark mission I'm playing on hard, seems to be going well so far.
Did you do Order or the church one? I found the church one to be much easier.
I went full evil nazi overlord and forced the peasants to work 24/7 in the coalmines during the finale, I thought they would understand it was a life and death situation. They kicked me out into the blizzard
