Question about Lib3 Enemy Schedule

Playing LWOTC on legend. I just launched lib3 in an str 4 region(early May) when I queued it up, it was 'light' in an str 3 region when I launched it, it was str 4, but showed 'very light'. Now I know, that the effective str in that mission is 6 due to +2 modifier. Thing is, I had to fight not 1, no...

Hi, i am playing on legend(First time), and in early January(Only 2 pips remaining, no facility lead) Just after finishing gatekeeper mission, i found a red ufo on map. Only 2 days later, i got the UFO Hunt dark event; so another ufo roams the map. So, i have to defend avenger twice? Really? Is ther...

Pre- invasion supply raid detection

Hi. I just liberated my first region in june (Legend), and the region next to me has 7 strength and 6 vigilance. I know that invasion can not occur before 21 days have passed. However, from a previous commander campaign, i remember that invasions necessarily do not have any build up time. What i mea...

Re: SPARK builds?

Sparks suck balls if not modified,its true. Thats why u need the metal over flesh mod, its kind of mandatory; plus it also gives you more utility from proving ground. On my first couple of campaigns, i even did the ini edits, which allows them to use weapon mods,but in the end they simply became too...

As the title says,what is the worst dark event combos you have ran into? Not talking about the permanent ones,since they are pretty much unavoidable,and while they are annoying,they still give you room to improvise. I currently have alien infiltrators(2nd time)+infestation+ greater faceless(2nd time...

Re: Your biggest gripes about LW2?

Lack of information about changes from base game, lack of information about methods of progress, lack of information about very important strategic/tactical layer changes.

Trial by fire and spark

On the spark description in proving grounds,it says something like 'sparks do not benefit from most officer abilities'. Does that mean they do not get the trial by fire bonus? The reason i ask is,i avoided this perk in all my previous runs,since by the time i got it,most of my soldiers were already ...

Re: Your biggest gripes about LW2?

My biggest gripe is the UI, which isn't just about LW2. I use a lot of mods to see information more clearly (hours remaining, infiltration details, squad character portraits, soldier perks, etc) but there are still too many instances of clicking 12 times to do one simple thing. Managing the base in...

Re: Your biggest gripes about LW2?

My biggest gripe is that my game seems to be bugged. I am not sure why the game refuses to generate a winnable liberation chain mission.

Re: Your biggest gripes about LW2?

Your gripes get processed into my one gripe: "explain the rules better". Orange-alert shots boil down to "how far can a pod on orange-alert travel in a turn?" - it's a lot less than the ground your units can cover in a turn. To my awareness, they can't do anything serious (like ...

Re: Let's talk Gunner

Forgive me,i did not read all of the comments. Yes,in terms of damage dealing,gunners will indeed fall behind rangers and assaults. But they are crucial for general 'survivability' of your squad. I am in late december,with close to 40 soldiers,and i have 6-7 gunners;all of them are suppression/react...

Re: combatives+bladestorm?

Sounds like a sweet combo against mutons,
Not stunnnies,since in my experience they seem to be a tad unpredictable.
Instead of the xcom 2 tiles away,they will often run and poke my sharpshooter who was located across the map.
Mutons u can just bait by putting urself on an adjacent flanked position....
