Sound like the same skill ?
Or is it 2 different skills, and they can stack for +20% two time ?

Even if skills do not stack, they can often apply in paralell. For example, if you got 2 learning centers from 2 Science Landmarks, you get 2 entries for "faster learning: +25% XP" on the units.

So while I have no concrete data (as there seems to be no log to read this out off), I would say experience indicates they stack.
Of coruse the main reason to get Watchman is to unlock ranged Overwatch on weapons (and vehicles!) that lack it.

I have been wondering the same thing, have not been able to get a concrete answer.

I think the Founder's answer is the best one around so far.

conversely, consider having multiple sources of regeneration on one unit: it behaves the same as if there was only one source of regen

i think it's a bit up in the air what's going on here

Regeneration is propably intentionally designed as a buff that does never stack.
But for most unit properties*, they propably never made such a decision.

*It is worth noting that while they seem to operate the same, permanent unit properties and temporary status effects are defined at different places. So other default values and/or default value patterns apply.

Thanks for these responses.
So, nobody is 100% sure, but it seems they stack...

Heya!

I took a look in the resources and these two effects, are not set up so they would stack.

Does this mean they do not stack?

To really test that we would need a log that lists everything that affected every attack roll.
Wich I do not think we have.
