I've started playing again after a little hiatus and was pleased to see some new Oregon/Idaho in the way of Heaven's Guard (formerly Gate). Played a run and had a fun time but struggled a bit and was wondering a few things in regards to strategy. For context I was playing the Steam engineers (intellectuals) path this time and am only passably good at HOI4 in general, so these are more specific to the nation.

- Is it best to rush High Chapel or wait until I build divisions? I notice at start you can't cover all border tiles and risk encirclement but have no clue if waiting too long just makes the fight even harder.

- Power armor or motorized/tank focuses? I know PA is more versatile but are the bonuses from the tree worth it for motorized divisions?

- Anything special about the terrain/area I should know beyond the winter and mud attrition values? My first Heaven's Gate playthrough blew chunks because I launched the war during midwinter. This last Guard playthrough I was lucky enough to remember that and made much better progress. Not sure about anything beyond that fact though.

- Any general tips and tricks that might benefit Heaven's Guard specifically. In regards to division types, decisions, construction, etc.

I'm posting this early for exposure but will be gone for work as soon as I do, so sorry for late responses. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Like the title says I've returned to AQW after some years and just wanted to be in the know on a few things.

- What's the most useful stuff to farm Legion Tokens for? I already have LR (IoDA from forever ago I know throw the tomatoes) and the Castle, was wondering if there's any other important "functional" items (Classes, Weapons, etc.) before moving on.

- How should I go about starting into Nulgath-based grinding? I always avoided it because it seemed like a lot, but I'm willing to try it now that I have more time and a greater attention span.

- What else should I focus on grinding that can make the endgame even easier/nicer. I'm only level 72 so Ultras and the like are far beyond me, but if there's anything I can start to put together it'd be nice to know.

Thank you for any help you guys can provide. This game has been with me for a long time and I'd love to start catching up after a long hiatus.
