Maybe it depends on difficulty level (I'm playing on veteran) or I was lucky but I did around 5 supply raids till July - all of them properly inflitrated => 100%, one boosted. So they are definately possible to discover in time. Usually I had 7-8 rebels on intel job in the regions where I managed to...

It has begun

Sincere thanks to all the devs/testers and other people that contributed to the new version!

LordYanaek, yes, you are right about a wide roster of soldiers that you will have anyway due to running multiple missions simultaneously. Still, there is also a case of loosing your best weapons, armors and items. You might not be able to replace all the stuff quickly enough which will cause more wo...

Question to the devs and testers. I understand that campaign success/failure depends on many variables. But one of the major variables is how well you perform during missions which is related to what soldiers you have available, how levelled they are etc. So I was wondering if campaigns were tested ...

Food for thought: Make a separate Dark Event for snare - we can call it "Setting a trap". When suficient ratio of vigilance to strenght is reached this event has a chance to pop up as being prepared (and with luck you can counter it). When this event is live there is a chance that one of t...

It depends. If you're totally new to the XCOM 2 mods I would say check out 1.2 and just toy with it until 1.3 comes out. In the meantime you can read some wiki or forums if it isn't clear how something works. Long War is an extensive mod of vanilla that adds various mechanics and not all of them are...

Adding a line for Bradford might help understand the situation but creating one is impossible due to the cost :( and unfortunately i don't remember him ever using the word "trap" so even with audio edition the best they could do is give some hint like "multiple transports inbound&quo...

Thanks for the feedback. I guess we'll need to wait a bit for the mod to get more polished.

The mod looks good. I think it is not too OP although I would probably add some cost to tier 1 and increase the cost of tier 2 explosives. Anyway, thanks for the info. I may try it out when 1.3 comes out

Necroing the thread as I recently had the same idea about early use of improvised proximity charges by the guerilla. I basically agree with The Boz :) Early low tech prox mines? Yes. Do it. Do it. Do it. I wouldn't tie the mine to a perk - just make it as an item that you can manufacture from the ge...

Also I remember JoINrbs saying in one of his videos that AI does not pay attention to dogde but pays attention to defense when picking targets. That means a high defense score could be better for squishy characters so they are on average a less attractive target.

I also don't think missions should be balanced around ironman. Ironman is an option and the game should ideally be balanced for everyone not using obvious cheats. Save scumming might be considered an obvious cheat but "bronzeman" is perfectly valid in my view as not everyone have the time...

I want to chime in regarding 0% supply raids being walk in the park. I get a feeling that this is an opinion of very experienced players on this forums that can do the raids reasonably well all the time. However, my experience is different. In my second campaign (the first has became kinda downward ...

I wonder about the changes in the pod composition and deployment they are introducing in 1.3. If steathing missions is really harder battle scanners in their current form may get more valuable. That is, if you want to move past one or two pods and fight only the sentries guarding the prison etc.

As per the title. I researched muton elite and completed PG project to get Dragon Rounds but they were not added to the inventory. Can I use standard xcom console command "AddItem [IncendiaryRounds]" to grant myself the LW version of this item? EDIT: My mistake I guess. I have double check...

Jadiel, maybe you just got crazy good at this game if Legendary is too easy for you :) As others already asked, did you do Ironman/Honestman ? I know I am not touching Legendary so I don't really care how difficult it is. However, I wouldnt like the LW to get more difficult in general. I already fin...

Rookies are expenable, especially later on. Good for one man suicide missions (kill VIP).

How long will the UFO hunt me? I got this DE some time ago, however it does not appear on a list of active DE. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Will it chase me forever until it finally intercepts me (and then I doge it or get shot down) and then it will disappear?

This. Honestly, it depends on how many particularly nasty critters are in the enemy forces. But in general, before sectoid commanders come into play... I'll run them at 0% without a second thought. Once they do... well... when you see 50 (hyperbole) zombies raise from off screen... you know you're i...

Most informative - especially the part about retaliation thresholds. Many thanks.

So here's the thing - I discovered a nice mission in a region with Advent strenght 5. Almost too nice, I believe. The objective was to hack the terminal and the reward was 29 intel and around 100 suplies(!!!). The ETA was something like 5-6 days. I went there with two guys - shinobi + specialist. I ...

So would anyone here be skilled enough to look at the code and maybe create a submod that removes one random tactical dark event upon successful HQ attack? This solution would put more emphasis on liberating as many regions as possible. And, as people previously mentioned, you would have some chance...

Did you figure out what is the purpose of boosting inflitration for the tower mission or HQ attack? I was doing the tower mission that was classified as light at 100% inflitration. I did the inflitration to 150%, it was still light, then boosted it with intel aaaand....stil the advent strenght was c...

Hey there, I finished a misson where I blew up an advent monument (old Gatecrasher) and was supposed to get a ranger as a reward. As the title says, the ranger does not appear in the barracks after the mission. Apart from cosmetic mods and one voicepack I run only: - Stop Wasting My Time - Stop Drop...
