Listening Post
The electronic ears of the battlefield, Listening Posts are quickly built over claimed strategic points, allowing a greater foothold into freshly captured territory. Listening posts increase the Requisition resource production rate of your army, and can be upgraded with weapons, making them formidable defensive structures. Finally, a Holy Icon can be placed on top, illuminating infiltrating units with the Emperor's unwavering gaze and increasing your maximum Faith value.
Tactics
Build Listening Posts on captured Strategic Points and Relics to improve requisition gained by +6 ( +12 total for the point) and provide a greater sight radius of the surrounding area (though it still relies on the Strategic Points base detection range for infiltrated units). In addition when the Listening Post has finished construction you are given a gift of 50 . This means that the listening post will have paid for itself just under 75 seconds after it has been finished.
A Holy Icon may be added to any Listening Post, upgraded or not (maximum of 5 Holy Icons). A Holy Icon has the primary effect of increasing max Faith storage by 20, but also provides an increased detection radius and a slight health bonus. Placing a couple Holy Icons on forward Listening Posts can be a useful if risky strategy, but try to keep at least three Holy Icons on relatively safe Listening Posts.
You can also upgrade your Listening Posts for 100 75 which further improves requisition gained by another +6 ( +18 total) and adds a useful point-defense gun which is effective on infantry. This time the upgrade takes nearly 3 minutes just to pay for its requisition costs so it should only be done if you expect to hold the point for a while or you want the turret that the upgrade provides.
Upon reaching Tier 2 you can upgrade your Listening Posts again for 260 150 to improve requisition gained +6 ( +24 total), increase the health of the Post by 1250 and greatly improve the Listening Post's range and damage. However this upgrade would take over 7 minutes to pay for its own requisition costs so the point should only be upgraded to this state if you need the improved health and weapon it provides. You may need these bonuses if your Listening Post has a Holy Icon and is easily accessible to the enemy.
Be aware that the Sisters of Battle's Listening Posts do much lower damage than other Listening Posts. They can break morale faster, making them much better at delaying enemies than killing them.
