The change to the surrogates, w out changing it's range or other attributes now makes it about as useless as the other 2 arctic troops. Recon raiders are horrible and can't get close enough before being killed as a fast unit to be useful. Fortresses seemed ok at first, but a stealthed hover tank is still better IMO. I thought the surrogates were great before, as they were stealth and could retaliate when attacked from an adjacent sector, making them great for taking out units that could not target stealth units and had to move in close. Now they can't do damage when hit, have a terrible range value for a "ranged" unit type, and I don't remember what/if the combat skill besides stealth was before, but what's the point of a ranged unit having to move to the adjacent sector to do more damage. Shouldn't it be the opposite?
I hope this new dragon drone or whatever is amazing, bc with this change to the surrogates, nothing in arctic seems all that great to me any longer.
