Re: Can a region running out of supply?

The limit exists but it isn't a hard limit. After you reach the limit your supply gathering in the region becomes gradually less effective until you get to a minimum of half the original income after gathering twice the limit.

Re: What, exactly, does the Advanced Arc Thrower do?

Most enemies when flanked and with only one action will actually do an offensive action and stay flanked. The only two exceptions I remember are Sectoids/Sectoid Commanders and Najas. Stunning for 3 actions instead of two is useful against Sectopods and Gatekeepers, but not that strong against anyth...

Re: What trigger missions related to Heavens?

What trigger missions related to Heavens? What you mean are the (Mini and Full) Retaliations. The other people got old info (pre 1.3), so don't pay attention to that. I'll give you the simple explanation. You got 3 Mini Retaliations that are job related (Supply Defense, Intel Raid, Recruit Raid) an...

Re: Supply Missions

You don't. Even with 216 Mission Intel per day (the absolute maximum for non-liberated havens, a number you will probably never reach) the chance to detect the mission with at least 6 days remaining is around 30% and the chance to detect with at least 4 days remaining is around 55%. You can't reliab...

Re: Aren't advent rocketeers not supposed to shoot a rocket after moving?

They can, but they only do that while flanked or when they don't have a valid target for the rocket before moving.

Re: Why can't I find a facility lead?

Protect Research (the activity that gives facility leads) isn't really easy to detect with a reasonable amount of time remaining. Even in a full haven with everyone running Intel, a Scientist Advisor and a Radio Tower detecting the mission with 6+ days remaining is still not much better than a coinf...

Troop Columns frequency 1.5

According to the 1.5 patch notes Troop Columns will be more likely to spawn and easier to detect. The "easier to detect" part probably means they will go back to pre-1.3 detection numbers, but what does the first part mean? I assume it means the cooldown will be shorter, probably 14-19 day...

Re: Smash and grab loot question.

Smash and Grab loot can only be Supplies, Alloys, Elerium Crystals, Elerium Cores or Datapads. The weapon upgrades and PCSs you got came from timed loot, not from crates.

1.5 Troop Column schedules

Does anyone know anything about the new Troop Column schedules in 1.5 other than what is in the patch notes? Will the new encounters be alien-only or can they have an alien leader + advent followers? Will they be large 8-man pods or smaller than that? Will the composition be fixed for each Force Lev...

Re: Commander Level After Action Report

I like your ideas a lot and think this format is perfect. You know how to explain your decisions very well and I find myself wanting to start a new campaign just to test some of them myself (especially the early PG/delayed lasers and the combination of scientist advisor and full intel on high streng...
