Their main strategy relies on heavy use of movement to escape enemy attacks and position their forces for devastating opportunitistic strikes, made possible by their HQ ability to double the firepower of adjacent units. Faction Calculus: Out of the four default factions, Outpost are the Cannons.Despite being one of the most important factions, The Outpost gets the least amount of characterisation among the human factions. Flat Character: We know what they are and what they do but that is it.A Lighter Shade of Grey: In a setting where even the В“goodВ” factions arenВ’t that cuddly, these guys come across as the only В“heroicВ” faction.

Their HQ provides a second attack per battle. Heavily relying on ranged combat and mobility, they have a high number of В“moveВ” tiles, high initiative scores, and a very powerful HQ bonus, but their units are fragile and few in number, and they lack a unit that can net (disable) enemies. The Outpost is the last surviving members of the US Army and the scientific establishment fighting guerrilla warfare against Moloch. The backstory mentions that Moloch performed experiments on humans, so it is possible that some units have organic components. Organic Technology: Some Moloch units have distinctly organic-looking parts.Mighty Glacier: Most Moloch units, especially the Juggernaut.Playing with Syringes: Moloch performed a number of experiments on captured humans, resulting in a wide range of mutants that eventually united under BorgoВ’s banner.Mind Hive: Moloch is a collective entity that consists of numerous artificial brains.Magnetic Weapons: One of the Moloch's units is the Gauss Cannon, capable of One-Hit Polykill.They don't even do anything other than sponge damage. It's typical strategy revolves around digging it's HQ in a corner behind a defense grid, and using it's vast army with high firepower to take control over the board. Faction Calculus: Out of the four default factions, Moloch takes the Powerhouse role.Death from Above: Moloch can call an Air Strike during a battle.This is the main reason why its progress following the bombs has been so slow. Creative Sterility: For all its military might, Moloch lacks the ability to think flexibly, allowing humans to outsmart and adapt to its tactics.Big Bad: The cause of the world being in its present state and the main antagonist.Is a Crapshoot: Continuing the Skynet parallel, Moloch was originally a military defense computer. Their HQ provides bonuses to ranged combat damage. Moloch uses a balanced mix of powerful and resilient melee, ranged, and purely defensive units, but sacrifices speed and initiative for it. However, due to the lack of intellectual flexibility, it has lost the edge it held at the beginning of the war. Moloch is a Skynet expy that was responsible for taking over the worldВ’s nuclear arsenal and bringing down the human civilization.
