The Military

[sassywasher]

Has anyone discovered what Triggers the Military Event to start. I have had games where they show up right away and others where they don't show up til like day 30 to day 40. So curious if it is when you reach a certain Population or research a certain Tech. Or is it something else.

It's not the med bay - I had that for a long time before they showed up - most story events appear to be triggered by what day it is. Day 30-40 seems about right.

I have not done med bay till day 50 and had military long before dont recall the day, spent one day and half in game to kill tank and get it for me

I have a question, the military came with two vehicles, and I defeated them, and then now there is no more events. is this a bug?, now I am on day 130 with no events what so ever?!

Spoiler:

If you give them supplies they will return and ask for medical assistance - if you help they become your allies and you can call them for backup once per year.

A few crates of supplies in exchange for 2 armored vehicles? Yes please!

Actually I haven't even built a med bay, nor even researched it before they show up, but did get 5 Fortified Towers and some Sniper Rifles Deployed before they showed up and died Heroically.

It's kinda scary how many people choose to fight them instead of making them allies.

In the post-apocalypse you'd think non-infected humans would join together to defeat the infected instead of fighting each other.

Personally, I love having 2 armored vehicles for support when needed.

Yeah but there's only one small group of raiders you can befriend (the hostage takers), so you *have to* fight the raiders.

If I could befriend all the raiders so we were working together against the infected, I would.

Joining them just seemed like the right way to go. There's enough enemies out there.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Holy crap one of the armored vehicles' crews died before it was totally destroyed, so I was able to drive it back to base for repairs - now I have my own tank!

It's gonna take 854 metal to repair but I'm gonna try!

It's worth the effort.

its a linked series ... a 3+ space medbay was needed (before this weeks update) to continue the series if you hand over supplies

When Nowak shows up his stance is "Give us supplies or we'll kill you", he says it slightly more diplomatically, but its give us stuff or die. When you ask about a trade he just says "No, give us the supplies". The only difference between him and a raider is he has a tank, so hes a very well equipped raider. I dont really take the "might makes right, im stronger than you so im allowed to take your stuff" mentality.

Meta-gaming, siding with him makes sense depending on your position. My guys got wrecked fighting him, Im guessing you need snipers to kill the guys in the tank, I dont have that tech yet as I was focused on farming and building walls.

He showed up on day 22, no med bay either.

Novak will also come to your rescue later in the game if you
help them.. You should mention that...

That's cool, and helpful, I didn't know that, never made it that far. My first 2 games bugged out so bad I had to make new games, this is my 3rd play through and first time encountering the military.

MIlitary quests are dependent on your progress with Raiders. They should appear somewhat after clearing the raiders' hideout.
