Suppression doesn't cancel suppression

Heavy gunner suppressing my shinobi, I cancel it with my gunner's area suppression and it removes the overwatch and the animation but my shinobi still has the aim malus. I used TTC console command back and forth and he still had the suppression effect. Is this intended or a bug?

Re: Supply Raid Vigilance

Are there any other missions that give vigilance to neighboring regions? Like invasions or mini retals?

Re: Supply Raid Vigilance

Do troop columns have the same mechanic of potentially increasing the vigilance of neighboring regions?

Re: Just finished my Veteran campaign, any advice before starting Commander?

Yeah I didn't mean never dash your soldiers. There are some great times to dash (as we all know). What I mean is not to make a yellow move into fog as the last action of your turn if your other troops have no actions or are already fighting a pod.

Supply Raid Vigilance

Do completed supply raids increase vigilance in the region sending the legion or in the receiving region? Sorry if this has been posted before, I used the search function but couldn't find an answer for vigilance.

Re: Just finished my Veteran campaign, any advice before starting Commander?

Try to liberate early wherever you can. Mmm disagreed. A bad 2nd liberation is campaign ending. Seriously contemplate why you want to liberate more than 1 region. You're right, I should have phrased that comment differently. I meant to say get 1 region liberated ASAP regardless of what region it is...

Re: Just finished my Veteran campaign, any advice before starting Commander?

On the tactical layer: GENERALLY try to keep your squad pretty grouped together, and don't make dumb yellow dashes. This will prevent you from activating everything on the map at once. Use high cover and think about each soldier's position in relation to each other and to the objective. Tracer round...

Re: Suppression Question

I haven't tested it just because I've been doing ironman and don't want to risk it. But I guess I'll save scum a bit to find the results. I just want to find out if you can take a reaction shot with 3 ammo area suppression - and if yes/no do the other enemies in the area suppression instantly lose t...

Re: Suppression Question

So for example: if you have 3 ammo left on a gunner an area suppression would be almost useless because someone could run the suppression without a shot being taken, and remove the aim malus from everyone? And the same would be true for single target suppression with 2 ammo remaining?

Re: Best time for HQ assault?

Doing lib early has the advantage of getting you those fat supply drops earlier, which can get you steamrolling in equipment. If you have the resources available to continue expanding pretty rapidly to 2-3 other regions to mitigate the strength increase I would say go for it ASAP. The most difficult...

Suppression Question

Does suppression work the same for advent and xcom? I did some searching but the only mechanics I could find were from 1.1 and I'm not sure if they have changed. If someone runs a suppression, does the aim malus disappear? Or does the suppressor have to take damage / status effect to remove the aim ...

Re: Rational decision making on Basic Research

Lib 1 will always be a mission that gives intel but no additional "intel package." It appears as a mission with only one small reward.

Re: Suicidal snakes

I try to justify things like that by attributing it to the overwhelming number of advent forces. They are so many that they are willing to suicide just to take out one XCOM operative because 1-1 is a super favorable trade for them. It makes your soldiers feel strong and makes combat feel much more l...

Need help on avenger defense

Sadly my campaign came to an end yesterday during an avenger defense. I thought that when the mission popped I would be able to pull out my haven advisers and troops from GTS/AWC, but boy was I wrong. I was in the middle of collecting my first 350 supply drop after liberation when the mission popped...

Re: Terra Invicta Dev Diary #3: Resources

As it happens, one of my deep temptations is to add more space resources, so we can break out stuff like alkali metals, deuterium, helium-3 and other materials that are interesting from a space development and warfare perspective. That also leads to more tradeoffs in deciding where to build (and se...

Evac during recruit raid

Did a very light recruitment raid last night - commander difficulty. Full squad just came off a troop column so there were a couple injuries to my A squad. Nevertheless, my guys used lots of consumables to deal with the 8 enemies I pulled on the first turn. Pushed all the way up to the evac and got ...

Re: Commander mag and psi rush campaigns

Cool, thank you for the tips. One of the biggest challenges I have is fielding cohesive team comps with a particular strategy in mind.
