Okay i get it. We're just supposed not to try tackling *some* rare missions.. it's our decisions to take.. but hear me out please; -- Very Low Hours to Infiltrate are certainly indicative and mostly should be relatively possible with "Stealth Squads" only, IF lucky or tactically smart. Che...

There's a 98+% chance your troubles are mostly caused by ShowMeTheSkills as that very old mod (even the pseudo-updated version by ReasonER) is trying to hook onto a heavily altered LoadOut process by LW2 bigger Squad mechanics (two rows).

Yup.. that's most likely what is happening with this. That try was done on some already spawned Tower/Network.. so, the pre-mission parameters (including the schedule & Map structure) must also put the MaxSoldiers value as declared by the -- XComMissions.INI -- file at the time of those usual &q...

Just found where these limits are pre-defined... XComMissions.INI . For the Network Towers ( of Liberation Chain that leads to HQ assaults) near line #13315; ---------- +arrMissions=(MissionName="AssaultNetworkTower_LW", sType="AssaultNetworkTower_LW", \\ MissionFamily="Assa...

Well... just completed the HQ assault mission & the allowed squad had no limits, so i could actually bring 9 tough necks. Each were pivotal to match the 41 enemies i had to face including a wild unmasked Advent General which required the Frost-Bomb trick & a few Overwatch hits plus a lucky C...

Hold Off your re-coding horses, JL... i just got an Officer back from training and she *STILL* had her previous Weapon & loadout Items exactly as they were. Thus -- there must be something else at work when the wacky switching process happens. I think it might have to do with any updates we appl...

I'll throw in my "Massive OutCry" for this absolutely essential QoL system. You have to realize we are now playing in a (much more) massive micro-management context with the splendid feature of multiple-Squads. There's a solid need to maintain between 4-7 teams (Stealth specialized, Hacker...

Not even sure if i've been consistantly clicking mouse or pressing ESC while exiting the Avenger once the "Press any Key" green message shows up... but i did reload the last Tactical save from the file mentionned earlier & purposely clicked the Mouse to verify & the Flaw **DIDN'T**...

Well -- i don't use Cap-Locks & i just got my very firsty instance of that Camera-Under-Avenger bug. If that can help diagnosed the issue... -- Save-Scumming often. -- Occured after the special Retaliation mission with multiple Re-Inforcement cycles. Saved some Rebels.. Evac'ed All while the las...

Much to my surprise, some of the most "pivotal" missions now have serious limits on the MAX number of soldiers we can bring. As a result.. my very first attempt at a (tough to discover -- already) Liberation/Chain Tower only allowed FIVE on Rookie level. Four of which got severely injured ...

Found it into.. -- XComLW_Activities.INI -- on Line #387; --------------------- +MissionSettings=(MissionOrFamilyName="AssaultAlienBase_LW", \\ AlertType=, \\ MissionSound="GeoscapeFanfares_AlienFacility", \\ EventTrigger="", \\ MissionUIType=eMissionUI_AlienFacility, \...

Now, these re-use the XC2 "BlackSite" symbol while the old "Alien Facility" (Grey/Red with an elder glyph) aren't used anymore, right? Although the Geoscape 3dModel still is a "Red Facility triangle -- without the doom pips". How would i be able to simply switch those b...

Shinobi+Specialist & possibly a third of your choice.. just in case the RNG screws up real bad. But for me.. the whole tricks basicly stands on what Perks you keep on giving to that specialized Team while you should concentrate on limiting detection -- don't forget some precious Officer ranks ca...

I was just being sarcastic about the new LW2 concept of pushing it away from its earlier Faceless Autopsy XC2-TechSpot, ya know.

2nd Cell unlocks at Elerium & requires a Sectoid corpse, 75§ & 1 Core to build.

OH.. speaking of Evac principles, TT.

Is it normal that the newest feature of rescued Rebels/Prisoners aren't given an Evac/ALL capacity while standing in the Zone?
As of now.. they seem to react with Vanilla processing only -- of individual steps.

BUMP -- Any coding progress made to somehow identify the cause or "repair" that issue.. please? I'm starting to lean towards a Mod Conflict but i can't rationally find any hints under which conditions these panels might react like that. Possibly "Ammo & Vest slots" -- BUT it ...

Yup.. they were cheesy . OP devices that inflicted a wise blow (almost) to the Aliens' lack of intelligence to detect such traps since they kept concentrating on that cool semi-transparent animation of a false soldier -- until dead. BUT .. please hold your breath .. they are now gated sooooooooo far...

oooppss.. just realized the right side margin of the Stats section is already "occupied" by the Promote/Psi symbol(s) which means that area can't really be used for other elements. Although.. the extra space/box (where i inserted SquadIcons as reminders) could be designed as a multi-toggle...

ooopppsss -- that was the Specialist "Guardian" perk i meant earlier.. my mistake. And you're right too about "CoupDeGrace".. it actually is the nearest to Repeaters. Although there are some special limits to it; low odds based on Disoriented/Stunned/Unconscious status & vari...

And it's the only LW2 aspect that gets anywhere near to having the real XC2 "Executed!" gimmick. While only Sharpshooters can use that perk. If so.. Rulers are now becoming a high stakes gamble with sloooowww attrition attempts that gives many more opportunities to escape an encounter with...

There's much more to that - XComGameData.INI - section for PSI-Training time controls... ------------------------ XComHeadquarters_PsiTrainingDays[0]=1 ;5 ;Easy XComHeadquarters_PsiTrainingDays[1]=1 ;6 ;Normal XComHeadquarters_PsiTrainingDays[2]=1 ;6 ;Classic XComHeadquarters_PsiTrainingDays[3]=2 ;6...

Well then -- i might have to reword my basic opinion on most of the "Renders" results like this.. *IF* the need is truly there for anything (at that particular moment), the decisions to do some should fit the right deal but at the expense of somewhat minor research time delays. Note that i...

I would have to agree that the "BlackMarket Use" mod is an essential device to determine what to do with overloads of certain items.. beyond the bonuses given for three different choices every month, the actual value of things stands more on your strategic patterns of choice. To me.. -- An...

I sure wouldn't want to break your "Intended gameplay features or solid mechanics" -- too much though. The essential reasoning being that *IF* something can be altered (sligthly or more)... we can still rely on the extensive INI configuration system already there. It's an even bigger Mod/M...
