QOL Request: Squad Icon on the roster overview

http://imgur.com/a/dC9rI As title says, I have ADD have trouble keeping my squads right. When I send 7/8 of a squad out and I am sorting through for the next AWC training, visual squad icon would clearly point out there is a good candidate because his squad is out doing a mission. I would also be fi...

Network Towers - What are you doing Right? What am I doing wrong?

I have attempted network towers in twice, once at strength 8 and 6. Different campaigns, Commander/regular. I hope to one day be able to play this game Ironman style, thus my below post. Some context: In both cases, I found them to extremely hard. I, shamefully, admit I saved scummed. 90% of mission...

Re: [SUGGESTION] Improve the difficulty of DLC missions

Personally, I just want them to removed. Once you have done them they are SUPER repetitive and relatively long. I wish there was a mod for it, like skipping Gate Crasher on new campaigns. If you play with the DLC installed, you can uncheck a checkbox when you start the campaign to have the items (S...

Liberation Series

Let's say I am working towards liberating a region, and I discover the second mission "rescue a defector" with only 2 days for infiltration. Do I HAVE to take the mission, or start over and look for another lead, or wait for a second/third opportunity for the mission to respawn again (as i...

Re: 1st Play through- Any way to tell if I am behind or on pace

Thanks guys for the input/tips. I am a lot clearer on the how the early months work.

For anyone else who eventually finds this thread, the 1st path to liberate a region is in the OBJECTIVE (not the reward/green section) "Find a Lead". I guess I had been skimming that section too quickly.

Re: The "Hindsight" thread

Basically, keep doing missions that have Find a Lead listed as one of their rewards. Eventually you'll see a mission that has Liberation as one of its rewards. These will help you locate one of the psionic network towers in the area. Assaulting the tower will get you the location of the regional se...

Re: 1st Play through- Any way to tell if I am behind or on pace

Question- just saved the game and said fuck it, to see what happens/what I am looking for. What type of mission triggers the 1st step the Libertaion process? I have 13 people + avenger scanning in this one zone for 2 months and coming up with nada, atleast from what I can tell. I just did an "i...

Does this scale? IE if I am at 12, will getting that final 13th be difficult?

Re: 1st Play through- Any way to tell if I am behind or on pace

Thanks for the reference. I have been very selective, I don't know how selective interms of % attempted, but you hit the nail on the head. I have not attempted anything above light.

I hope you are right that the game is more forgiving... I would hate to invest so much time into a futile run.
