Squad Leader Archive

"The Humans receive a +10 Leadership bonus, however the Leadership skill is no longer in the game."

Are you serious? I chose human specifically because thought they got an added bonus to being a squad leader. When I look at my character, I still see a +10 to leadership. What did leadership do in the beta?

Nice thread, worthy of a bump.

I would suggest you revise it so that you add the tip of making this macro:

/harvest hide;

/loot all

and similar ones for bone, and meat if you need it to get fast scout xp without the use of radial menus...just click the corps and hit the macro to harvest.

I find myself being drawn to this profession as I was a general in DAOC, and almost always wind up being the leader guy in most groups that go on. I have 2 friends who will want to always play in groups and this seems like a nearly ideal situation for a budding squad leader, and perhaps the core of a big squad. I was looking at standard templates and you can get something like

master squad leader

master of (carbine, pistol, or rifle)

novice entertainer + novice medic + 8 points to spread around. Where would you dump those 8 points?

Also for the 3 man core group, what sort of skills would you suggest for those? I have been mostly soloing SWG to learn the HUD etc for now so am not really up on the group dynamics.

How do you get squad leader apprenticeship experience? seems like there are not many SL's out there.

Are the action costs those from assuming you are using carbine, or do the SL abilities use both action and mind?
