Planetary supremacy question army capacity.

[Evil Nox]

So, the game told me I had a resource i could claim. But in clicking every adjacent tile, there wasn't anything that would give me higher army capacity.

Then one of the AI claims one spot and their capacity goes up by 300. At this point, they have 400 more cap than i do. I don't understand.

What am I doing wrong that none of my adjacent hexes have extra army capacity?

Then I attacked the location that gave the AI the +300 and it didn't do anything. Theirs didn't go down, mine didn't go up....

Am i doing something wrong?

I also took over the middle tile thinking it would be a big bonus, nothing.

Is there some sort of guide?

Regular army capacity enhancing tiles are the ones with a tubular tower on it. A small tower will give you 100 pts, the bigger will grant 200. Those points are kept once the tile has been conquered.
The 4 tiles with a kind of pyramid on it grant a bonus, which can be lost to the enemy if they take the tile. Those bonuses are + 300 pts (2 tiles), a + 1 action gauge, and a 50 % reduction on the reloading time for your units to recruit.

If you took a 300 pts tile, you should have gained those points, and the oponent should have lost them. Are you sure it wasn't a simple 200 pts?

Btw, I tend to reroll the game if I don't get a few 100 pts tiles right nearby my base, at least.

You can also tweak the settings in order to have the tiles more or less filled with those towers (can't remember the name of the setting). On max, I think every tile should grant somerthing. It's also the only way to compose an army worth more than 3,000 points, I think.

I suppose they could have taken a +100 and a +200.... But it sure looked like as soon as they took one hex, it went up 300.

Thanks for explaining how the tiles work.
