You can level up a specific soldier by using the console commands from this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=693790751 You can also reset a soldier with MakeSoldierAClass "Firstname Lastname" LWS_PsiOperative You can also add perks to a soldier using SelectSoldie...

You are most likely aware of this Mod by GrimyBunyip .. DisableMoreVO . (( http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=655124816 )) Not sure if the exact Narrative Moments (which are all neatly identified by XC2's DefaultNarrative.INI file & with some LW2 assets for any others, btw) y...

As an experiment in no-tech hacking, I went to XCOM 2\XComGame\CookedPCConsole\English(US)\ and removed the WwiseDefaultBank_SoundSpeechStrategyCentral.bnk and WwiseDefaultBank_SoundSpeechStrategyShen.bnk files. I was expecting the game to crash, but instead I got something wonderful. This is a scre...

Bradford and Shen get really, really annoying. Idle Engineers and zero supply income are common states in Longwar. I'm confident that if there was an easy fix for this, it would have been done by now, but I'd at least like to get the conversation started. Is there a way to unpack and repack the soun...

The issue I'm having in 1.3 is the balance of finding troop columns vs the risk of incurring haven or intel retaliations. If a region gets too hot (AS > 4), I'll put 2 on Intel, 2 on recruit, and leave the rest hiding, and as a result i'm not finding any troop columns which means in August I still ...

Thanks for the reply. I'd forgotten I'd posted this. It turns out that there was a random typo in my XComClassData.ini that was causing the problem. I probably accidentally put it there when browsing the file. Glad I didn't submit it as a bug.

Hey chrisb, this is kind of a tangent, but do you know the numbers for the effect of Faceless on Recruiting and Intel gathering? The old system in the config is no longer read by the code, and I don't know if it was ever replaced by anything else. EDIT: Okay, I partially answered my own question. Th...

Having a whole page of active DEs near the end isn't weird at all. Like others said, the game was balanced around the aliens having all of them, eventually. It's like the tech upgrades from Longwar1, except that it comes in discrete packets and you are given a chance to intercept some of those packe...

I play on Commander, so the experience is a bit different, but I feel I've got a good grasp of the strategic layer and I can see where you might be having some problems. As others have said, you need to be doing more missions per month. 15-20 isn't completely out there. I like to run with 4 of each ...

I don't don't want to submit a bug report yet, because this is probably some kind of mod conflict, but SC crashes the game every time I try to use it. Am I the only one? EDIT: Getting this even when I uninstall all other mods and start a fresh campaign. This is a massive bug with SC and hasn't been ...

That's not what I am saying. I'm saying that once you have 2 GOP + Liberation, the low hanging fruit are all now gone. It has nothing to do with rescues, which aren't even a type of activity (missions are sorted and spawned by activity, not mission type). You can continue to run intel if you are ho...

That implies there is a soft timer on critical missions using the strength, in that the story missions get progressively harder through legion piling the longer the campaign runs. Is that right? Not really. The AI distributes legions according to how many legions a region has versus what its vigila...

Look at X2LWActivityCreation_Reinforce.uc (it should be in your src folder). A lot of the AI that determines where to send troops is contained in there. Among other things, the AI likes to pile troops on Golden Path sites and likes to reinforce regions adjacent to Golden Path sites. The comments are...

I have seen 3 rescues in one region before, and checking the log confirmed that the GOP limit wasn't being broken (it was a ProtectData, a HighValuePrisoner, and a ProtectRegionMid, for what it matt I have seen 3 rescues in one region before, and checking the log confirmed that the GOP limit wasn't...

You can definitely add more perk levels to the AWC. I've done it before, just to see if it works. You don't even need scripts, it's all doable via ini. Things will probably get weird if you add more than 7 tiers to one of the perk trees, since the UI doesn't support it.

I've seen 5-6 of those green target arrow missions in one region, and I saw a different poster mention the cap was raised in 1.4. I don't know what you mean by "green target arrow missions," but GOPs don't look like anything in particular. They can be the crosshaired soldier or the man ru...

when you've generated two missions in a region, What's the reason for this? The mission cap has been raised. I don't think that this is true? I do a lot of snooping with LWDumpRegionActivity, and I've never seen more than 2 GOPS in a region, ever. And yes, I have been checking in 1.4 as well. Obvio...

I've seen this kind of system before in other games and I have never liked it. It becomes a guessing game where you have to have the "correct" ammunition type to maintain parity. You're given little information to guess what the correct answers are going to be, and there's no way of changi...

Ah, the infamous Van of Death. That vehicle has killed more people than the Ford Pinto. Unsafe at Any Level of Fire.

LEB, a fanpatch from you would be greatly appreciated. A fix for the psionic damage scaling bug would be appreciated too. Solace, Soulfire, Null Lance, Void Rift are all directly bugged, and Domination and Void Rift have indirect bugs. Psions are possibly worse off than they were before 1.3, that th...

Chrisb, I'll be sure to save the game next time I notice it. I also want to point out that now on 4 separate occasions since the release of 1.3... I've had flank shots on enemy units whey the were behind cover and I wasn't flanking them. In all cases, the animation was showing that standing up inst...

There are definitely broken cover pieces in the game. It's a bug from vanilla. Perfect Information correctly reports the odds on these cases too (i.e. the shot will be reported as something very high). I first noticed the problem when an alien took a 65% shot on a soldier that should have been in hi...

I just, right now, got missed by an officer after he marked a soldier in low cover. He had a juicy 35% to hit, too. The effect isn't real man. I'm sorry. It's just confirmation bias.

I've always imagined to be that ablative armor is a hard barrier that blocks damage completely, but gets cracked and useless afterwards. Health armor is more of a "soft" armor that relies on slopes and energy distribution rather than hard blocks. So if a suit of armor increases your health...

So I retested after seeing your post and the aliens do seem to be getting range bonuses after all. I don't know what to say, because I am positive that they weren't getting them before. I have seen very knowledgeable modders claim that aliens don't get range bonuses, and very knowledgeable modders c...
