Some of these operations require more strategic operation points that you have available. This costs Strategic Operation Points (Yes we split strategic and tactical 'casting points') and energy and after priming the operation can be launched at any target within your vision range. In order to use Strategic Operations, they first have to be primed. Read more about Doomsday Weapons in the Promethean Secret Tech here. Doomsday weapons, which form are the Tech Victories.Colony Debuffs: Weakening enemy defenses and economies.Colony Buffs: Boosts various types defenses of and economic effects.Deployment: Instantly summons characters on the world map.Direct Damage Effects: Such as missile strikes and orbital cannons.Operations targeting enemies have a chance of success and failure based on your Operational Effectiveness and the Enemy’s Operation Defense.

The types of operations available to you are Strategic Operations, Covert Operations (both of which are only usable on the Strategic Map), Tactical Operation[ (which can only be used during combat), and Doctrines (which globally affect your empire). Doomsday weapons Ops will win a game, while high level (covert) ops take careful planning to reap great rewards. Combat ops play a supportive role and won’t win battles or games on their own.

The usage of basic ops requires less planning then the slow building, upgrading and positioning of armies.

They vary from airstrikes to missile systems to more ‘magical’ psionic effects to edicts for your people called Doctrines.Īs with AoW spells, most ops are flexible buffs and debuffs, and nice direct damage stings that can tip a battle or particular geopolitical situation in your favor. Operations are used to support your Armies in the field, to increase the efficiency of your Colonies and to allow you to spy on your enemies. This week we'll be looking at the Strategic ops system. This one is part of a two week piece on Operations (Ops). Hi, welcome to Planetfall Dev Journal #22.
