Security supporter (elite) — gun symbol with star

Security supporter — gun symbol

  • During Phase 1 only: -1 doomsday per day
  • From Phase 2 onwards: -2 panic globally (ALL regions) at month start
  • From Phase 2 onwards: -1 panic in their region at month start

Each supporter is in one of three states:

  • Infiltrator (RED) – they are assisting aliens & apply a negative effect (increasing doomsday)
  • Neutral (GREY) – available to recruit, no negative effects or benefits.
  • Recruited (GREEN) – they give you benefits

Infiltrators must first be ELIMINATED to replace them with a netural supporter. The neutral supporter may then be RECRUITED for an additional OP cost.

Infiltrators always have the same negative effects:

  • During Phase 1 only: +0.5 Doomsday per day
  • From Phase 2 onwards: +2 panic in their region at month start

Elimination cost: starts at 70 OP, increasing by +0.5 OP per day.

Costs of recruiting a supporter:

  • Base cost to recruit a non-elite suporter: 150 OP
  • Base cost to recruit an elite supporter: 250 OP

Each supporter also has a “protection status”. This adjusts the cost to eliminate or recruit them by a discount or a premium.

Costs of recruiting an “isolated” supporter (green dot in supporter icon):

  • Cost to recruit isolated non-elite supporter: 105 OP
  • Cost to recruit isolated elite suppoter: 175 OP

Costs of recruiting a “heavily guarded” supporter (red dot in supporter icon):

  • Cost to recruit heavily guarded non-elite supporter: 195 OP
  • Cost to recruit heavily guarded elite suppoter: 325 OP

Similarly, the cost to eliminate an infiltrator is reduced if they have a green dot (“isolated”), or increased if they have a red dot (“heavily guarded”).
