We push our territory into a new area of the map, and find its mostly lacking any occupation. I bring two soldiers with me and eventually we run into Monolith and they attempt to slaughter us. We have to retreat and return later with more backup once checkpoints near by are secured.

Looking back I left the territory too thinly protected and shortly after getting to the new area I found outposts being taken over by Monolith.

I wonder how I can travel to other regions without my previous regions being taken over. It seems I constantly have to go back to babysit so they do not get taken over.

Maybe I need my forces to build up more before leaving, and unfortunately there is not much info on this game. So besides watching others play this game online I am not sure how normal this experience is.

As I secure more areas maybe my military guys will be stronger and be able to repel such attacks in the future. Maybe the mod is not completely thought out, or maybe its just me.
