Feeling dumb, but found a haven with a recruit. I clicked base info, I can see the soldier, but when I click on it nothing happens. How do you actually recruit the soldier? ---

Thanks for the awesome reply. I don’t yet have the recruitment tech protocol. Not sure how to get it, but at least I know I am missing something instead of searching the interface for a way that doesn’t exist. ---

After getting to first human haven you should get research about recruitment. Finish it and icon on map near havens should show up. 😉 ---

next question: I can’t recruit a pure technician or priest… I CAN select these classes as a secondary traits, but NJ or DA havens don’t offer these classes as recruits (only Berserkers and heavy/assault/sniper). Is that ‘works as expected’? ---
