Every time the subject of Squad Size Upgrades is mentioned, I always point out that they are really not so bad, and every time I do, I get shouted down. "Oh no, Lel, it's a bad idea, it makes tourney too expensive." Never mind that I have gamed with top ranked players who've done all the optional ones right up until folks decided that skipping them had to be the strategy, and I know for a fact that those players manage top tourney scores.
Am I surprised that we have to do them now? No, I am not. Why am I not surprised, you ask?
Because the Forum mods ALWAYS say, squad size upgrade it important, and they never advocated skipping any.
How did I know it would be soon? Well, I have a balanced number of provinces scouted/solved, as the game designers recommend, and I do not have any more blue level difficulty. And by the end of the Embassies chapter, I would have no green level difficulty. So? I was thinking I was going to have to research some optional squad size upgrades anyway, to keep my game balanced.
And then, guess what? Now the tournament has been restructured, AGAIN, and here we are, contemplating doing the very research that so many avoid. I've got most of them filled in, ready to go when the necessity arises, so no research kickbacks for me
Get filling those bars up folks.
