Squad Leader Archive

After working on SL experience and gaining a few SL skill boxes, my view on the whole profession has changed quite a bit from what I thought when I started. When I started, I thought Novice skill box is too empty, SL exp calculations aren't fair and mobility line is useless, but the active and passive skills and bonuses look great.

Today I believe that by having an empty Novice box, people won't open up SL skill tree just to get the Novice box benefits, so if you see a SL around, he's actually working on SL profession. Mobilityline seems to be the only line in the profession that grants noticable benefits eventhough it's not combat related. Every other passive skill bonus has negligible effects and all of the active ones are either negligible or useless. I enjoy how the SL exp is currently calculated as I find myself leading groups of size ~10 where the SL exp vs weapon exp multiplier is two and progress up the tree is rather swift.

I find myself working on a profession that doesn't help my group during combat which isn't what I was looking for. I hope they see this now that our turn is at hand.
