Hello team,

With the Lewis Chessman Artifact, what is the level of the spawned Raiders? Is it your researched level, or a predetermined fixed level?

If you apply Manufactory perks to Raiders, does it go onto the spawned ones?

Thinking of adding this to my artifact loadout, as 10 spawned high level Raiders could be handy in achieving a quick victory over a tougher opponent.

Cheers,

Hey Cool Guy, great questions! From what I've seen, the level of the spawned Raiders from the Lewis Chessman Artifact usually scales with your researched Raider level, not a fixed one—so investing in upgrades definitely pays off. As for the Manufactory perks, yes, they do apply to the spawned Raiders, making them even more effective in battle. Definitely a solid pick for your loadout if you're aiming for fast pressure against strong opponents.

Can anyone else confirm Unymio's statement? Before I spend 300 tokens I'd like to be absolutely sure.

Just getting them a strong as possible, and then you get 30 bonus units at the start of the game, which quickly go for resource buildings. It can help in achieving a quick victory.
