Hi, As the writer of this feature, I indeed forget about advertising it to content writers to get better tips for this (or maybe it was because of string freeze, not sure). And since it's invisible when unused, I guess I just forget about it. Anyway, the plan was to provide only basic tips for beginners and new more advanced ones for old players. BTW the key also supports number which means "minimum number of encountered units". Another possibility is to use the campaign-specific units to detect if the user has already played that campaign (and reach some scenario). This allows to add some easter eggs or historic quotes referring to the main stories without having spoilers or unclear references. The current format (with the fictional source) should allow that and make tips less useless/boring for old players. Alink
