Re: Darker Nights/Fog of War mods?

And the reverse, is it possible to change the time of the day? Sometime I would like to infiltrate at day, not night ;) It would be an interesting gameplay option, but probably beyond the scope of what PI are going to do with this mod. I just want properly dark atmospheric nights! I already have th...

Re: Feature Request: Seeing reaction radius

It would be awesome if those "concealed scouts" could also see the radius at which the aliens they're spotting will react to the rest of your squad. It could be done easily with a different color radius (pink, blue, whatever). Technically you could display this all the time when a unit is...

Re: Darker Nights/Fog of War mods?

Hmm, the problem with toggling the FOW, is it completely removes it, so you have no idea what the limits of your vision are. Also I messed with FogDensity, and now I don't know how to set it back to default.

Re: Darker Nights/Fog of War mods?

Also, is there a mod that removes the "fog" aspect of fog of war? Fair enough not to see where the aliens and such and so forth are, but I would like to be able to see the layout of the map, so I can plan my approach. Squinting into the fog is a bit hit or miss. I can't imagine with liter...

Darker Nights/Fog of War mods?

Not really LW2 specific, but are there any mods that reduce the amount of ambient lighting on night missions? Rather than level specific mods that tweak lighting on a per-map basis. Night missions seem far too bright for me, to the point where they might as well be daylight. Also, is there a mod tha...

Re: Epic Success on Haywire Protocol gives Best Result?

Update: Although the MEC was under player control, and marked as as hostile to ADVENT forces, it had no actions, and was essentially "stuck" as though stunned.

Epic Success on Haywire Protocol gives Best Result?

So, I had my specialist use haywire protocol to stun a Advent MEC, the first i'd seen in this campaign/patch. Only a 54% chance to stun, less to control, so I went with stun. Specialist rolled very high, and the MEC was stunned.... and then it wasn't. Now I have control of it? Is this intended behav...

Hack Door on Jailbreak Not Marked As Breaks Concealment

Pretty much what the topic title says. As I understand it, any action which will result in broken concealment is supposed to be red, and have the red eye icon. However, having infiltrated to the cell door on a VIP rescue mission, the hack target icon shows as green, and there is no red eye to indica...

Re: Lost my Campaign - No idea why

Actually, the Find a lead and Find a Lead thing is VERY LIKELY an error. I think that the actual thing they want us to notice is a 'Find a Lead' mission without an intel package. However, I don't disagree with your other points. Was forced to drop one of my 5 month old veteran runs because I always...

Re: Liberated regions, what to do with them?

I have never liberated a region, but I would imagine you probably already have 13+ resistance personnel. It only takes a few prison breaks to get 'em. I suppose after that you might have to run the recruit job though, if you lose some.

Re: Suggested fix to supply raid, troop column, HQ 0% infiltration abuse

I know it's been mentioned, just throwing my voice behind the No Infiltration option. IE. just launch the mission, as if you had just launched it at 100% infiltration. If you discover it earlier, you have more time to organise a strong squad to make best use of the opportunity.

Regards the Recruit job, I don't usually bother. Easier to just farm prison breaks, get 5-6 rookies or resistance personnel at a time.

Re: Lost my Campaign - No idea why

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. Losing, and the unknown elements are a large part of the strategic layer of this mod. Just try, try, try again.

Wait, this seems like an obvious exploit. Is there any downside to immediately evacing from these missions?

Re: [Suggestion] Make Equipment Perks Into Items

I can see what you're saying, but you remove most of the decision making and benefit of promoting troops. It changes the balance of xcom gameplay too far from the soldier/tactical side to the strategic layer.

Re: Alternate nerf to Hail of Bullets

I've got to agree with Thriar. It's fairly common for the other trees to have 3 tasty options all in one tier, where as formidable is good, but nowhere near as good as Mayhem or Chainshot. Hail of Bullets feels like a higher tier perk anyway.

It would be different though if roust gave a complete new ability and not compete with flamer fuel, and was improved just a bit. TBH, I thought Roust had it's own charge, like the Concussion rocket.

Re: Has anyone seen an Alien Ruler since 1.1 was released?

Curious about the DLC for this game. I have completely avoided it so far, because "Pay To Win" uber items hold relatively little interest for me, and story missions are my least favourite part of XCom. I prefer DLCs that add depth and mechanics to games. Which of the DLCs are worth getting?

Re: [General Feedback] Strategic layer and class balance

To also make the gauntlet seem cool and balanced, flame throwers should recharge. They look like alien technology powered by elerium after all. They can start off with just one flame throw, with a cooldown of 6.Then they can get rouste later to give them a second type of flame throw. This is the si...

Re: Opinion on Rocketeers

I would suggest that Technicals have their flamethrower be on a cooldown, but keep the rockets to limited ammunition. It better differentiates the Rocketeer/Fireman builds, which I think is fairly important. I no longer think giving the technical 2 different choices of gauntlet is a good idea, as it...
