WOTC--Combat Intelligence

[LooksLikeDaniel]

Is combat intelligence randomized for each soldier, or is it determined based on their tactical efficiency during their first mission?

[Commander Gorda]

Random

[red255]

yeah its randomized upon recruitment and increasable with Covert ops.

[Aranador]

random, 50pct of your soldiers will be baseline, 0.5 pct will be savant, and I forget the distribution of gifetd and genius and what ever the other one is., something like 30 pct 17.5 pct 2 pct

Random. Also if you want a savant soldier dont use him at all untill he got savant from covert ops. As the AP gain is only from promotions and not from combat actions.

Increasing combat intelligence with covert ops will retroactively apply the additional AP. Nothing is lost by using them.

however the AP bonus from 25% bonus from promotions resistance order is NOT retroactive.

Combat Intelligence: (from wiki)

Chance to recruit are as follows:
1. Standard - 50%
2. Above Average - 25%
3. Gifted - 15%
4. Genius - 9.5%
5. Savant - 0.5%

Combat Intelligence re AP:
1. Standard - 3 AP for leveling up;
2. Above Average - 4 AP for leveling up;
3. Gifted - 5 AP for leveling up;
4. Genius - 7 AP for leveling up;
5. Savant - 10 AP for leveling up.

Way of ameliorating that - some Covert missions let you change combat intelligence.

there are 7 rank ups
squaddie
cpl
sgt
LT
Capt
Maj
Col

if its retro active it would imply you would get 21 AP for a standard soldier and 70 AP for a Savant so promoting a standard soldier to savant would get you 49 AP.

I don't think those numbers are true though.

also hero soldiers get more AP per level over regular soldiers.
