Re: Am I going in right direction?

You will be surrounded by high strength regions if you liberate to much very early. 1st You will add ton of Vigilance on map. They attract Strength 2nd Every liberated region Advent will try to cut off by adding strength to neighboring regions. With more vigilance they will end up in 8+ strength reg...

Re: Is This Campaign Normal?

Now you know how to reduce strength on map. Keep in mind that every supply raid will add more Vigilance in neighboring regions. Then this regions will request more strength. This can lead to increase in Global Vigilance. Severe adds Super UFO = +4 Strength on map . If you need more - everything. Spi...

I have problem with builds posted here. Playing with red fog on Legendary I m dealing so low damage with normal builds. Encountered in April Bersereker, 2x Muton Centurion and 3x MEC, Shielbearer.

Re: Is This Campaign Normal?

UFO traps - Super UFO will bring 2 Strength on map. It is hard to detect them but they are worth doing. Normal UFO - 1 Strength. Supply raid and troop column are easy to find. Problem is that you must spend intel. to finish them (3-4 days detection) in the beginning. If you do not do that you will b...

Re: Is This Campaign Normal?

Did you even try to reduce Strength on map ? Supply Raid, Troop Transfer, UFO, Super UFO ? You need to scan more after 2nd or 3rd Mission. I hit Severe in first month (can't avoid this on any difficulty) and start to look for them in low Strength regions. Dark Events seems to spawn in non contacted ...

Re: Am I going in right direction?

They will get more Strength. Strength = more troops. Non contacted regions will send troops. Contacted regions will receive troops. Contacted regions can send troops but you must wait a long time and not do any mission. This is not good choice for early or mid game. Supply raid and Troop columns are...

Re: Am I going in right direction?

No. Just do missions anywhere and scan after that. Missions will raise Vigilance and that is the trigger. If number of missions (Vigilance) is bigger than Strength than Advent will send reinforcements. Just scan for them after March 15-17. They are there. Put your full haven on Intel and do some sca...

Re: Am I going in right direction?

If you want to detect hard to detect missions do not spread haven. Hunt in low Strength regions for no evac missions after you do some missions in them. Strength / number of mission done (vigilance) will spawn them. If you did 6 missions (example) in starting region Advent will reinforce region. Wor...

You can disband soldiers. Recruit 100 and disband them. If it fixes your game good but game tends to crash anyway.
