unfortunately it's a very different situation. when leveling you're pretty much only getting levels out of doing your chores but that's a prerequisite to everything else. once you're at the max the chores feel like significant changes power that can set you apart from someone else at the same level.
>>11851556just depends on the mechs you're running really. the maps are unlocked in order of complexity but not necessarily difficulty. the ice one for example comes third but is the easiest to deal with for a lot of squads in my opinion since frozen buildings give you free wiggle room
