Re: Help Installing Long War 2(GOG Version Xcom 2)
If you want to play Pavonis' LW2 then the LW_Overhaul folder must go into "\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods", not "\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\Mods"

Re: LOOKING FOR OPINIONS ON MY STRATEGY IF TRYING LEGEND
I haven't checked lower difficulties but in Legendary the average infiltration time for 1 soldier is 4d, 2 soldiers is 4d 5h, and 4 soldiers is 4d 16h, so you ain't really getting that much difference for sending a squad of 4 that has a fighting chance on XLight than a squad of 1 or 2 that will very...

Re: Asking for Advice & Discussion: Tactics
Heh, sorry if I'm anwering late but I do yearly comebacks to LW2 and well, 'tis the season. 1. If you want a build you can check out the ones I use on a guide I wrote last year. If you want to know how I use them, well, I bring them to deal AoE and destroy cover, mostly for the short missions (which...

Re: Build order. When the AWC?
On legendary without skipping laser: GTS on day 0. Workshop on the middle tile (row 2) to dig the other tiles faster. Now comes the tricky part, your priority is expanding, so you want Resistance Comms. But you want the Proving Grounds for Incendiary Grenades, which are necessary for your grenadiers...

Re: Finding a codex late game
I usually try to get my Codex hack during a Supply Retaliation. Basically I get one on very low health, kill the extras and try to leave it for last. It's annoying, but since it'll Rift every two rounds, and its aim incredible compared to the T3 stuff you'll be facing, the danger is less extreme. Oh...

Re: Dwarfling's Soldier Build Guide
- Low aim Holobot Scout Sharpshooters: I just don't think they contribute enough to small team infiltrations, which is going to be the majority of the missions, and if deployed as scout can risk the entire mission by bopping into something. - Cutthroat: issue with this skill is that you will most li...

Re: The worst yellow alert activation
I've seen something like that before during Smash & Grab missions, where I activate the first pod with an overwatch and suddenly the other members of the pod get yellow alert actions. Maybe it has something to do with the kill changing the alert of the rest of the pod, I dunno. In your case it's...

Re: How to tune down the number of haven infiltration attacks
If you refer to the Rendezvous missions popping very often in the late game and being tedious to complete, I know what you mean. Just ignore the missions, the faceless will be gone when the mission expires. It's probably because you have so many regions and the soldier advisers are on average higher...

You can move the WotC folder somewhere else if you're not gonna use it. That's what I did, 38gb less on my SDD.Jacke wrote:I think it's about 80GB and I just don't have that much free space right now. And I don't want to remove other games right now. Maybe later.

Re: The infestation Dark Event....
The honest way, if you have no battlescanners: 1. Try to take missions exclusively at Ex.Light while the DE is active so that you get only one chryssalid. 2. Navigate the first turns very carefully. Chryssalids pop out of the ground every couple turns, letting you at least know the direction where t...

Dwarfling's Soldier Build Guide
This is a guide that describes the builds I use for my soldiers during my campaigns (Legendary Ironman with no mods). I play an aggressive style that relies on cover destruction and activating pods from squadsight after concealment is broken. The reason for this is the LW2 metagame: the vast majorit...

Re: Faceless / Liberated Regions
Faceless don't return the supplies they stole upon death, so it might be listing the supplies they stole that month until they died.

Re: Faceless / Liberated Regions
You do get Rendezvous missions on Liberated regions, and they're the easiest of them all since they're at the lowest strenght.
As far as I can tell you can generate faceless from recruitment on Liberated regions.

Re: Mini-retals
Troop Columns, yes. ADVENT isn't moving legions around regions with those. So you can lower the region strenght that way.
Supply Raids, no, those come from outside by land.

Don't bother. Gotta wait for another chance. If memory serves me right, just by doing Intel Package missions you're bound to find a Facility Lead.
