It's all good except one thing! But first, many thanks for the detailed dev diary which is going clearly beyond marketing blurb and goes into meaty interesting details. The thing I noted which is not very optimal for me is the inability to fire both broadsides at once. I believe you are masking unde...

and Tandem don't max damages, it only remove the damage reduction from distance, because you can hit for 2 with tandem

Thanks, that's enough for me to decide!

It is not clear to me if the now damage-able mech units can also be disoriented, panic or even set to burn if you also have Napalm?

Because if phosphorus is only doing 2-5 dmg to a mech unit, I could not care less!

So, is that a bug? This is very penalizing!

I have Avenger Events that present multi-choice events, but not one that add POI. And this one (Avenger Events) never worked for me though... Hopefully it don't mess with POI

I thought I understood what 'intel package' meant, but it seems no... An intel package should be: a) revealing an hidden advent facility b) add a Point of Interest on map c) sometime progress liberation? (not sure here) But in my campaign, even if I understand I can't reveal hidden Advent facility i...

Still confused sorry. Light is 12 to 15. Let say 15 in my example. As I boost from 100 to 175%, I remove 3 levels. So I would remove from 1 to 2 aliens each time, only? And so if I'm still reading light, it would means I removed thrice one alien, so down to 12 aliens, and this would explain why I st...

I'm confused, should I not get a reduction of 2 levels here? Sometime it happens (no change) but I don't know why.

Well, if the pistol perk tree is 'go strong or don't', then it is very suboptimal. So either you never touch it, or 2-3 of your soldiers spend 45 days each in the AWC tube and end up unbalancing the game. great

A suggestion to broaden the possible strategies: have a slot in the AWC dedicated to pistols perking. This would allow at least some of our soldiers to use it with some regularity. That the standards perks and the pistols perks compete for AWC slots mean that 99% of the time, you won't perk a soldie...

Would you say that never trying a supply or troops convoy under 50% is fair, compared to the potential abuse of running them at 0%? If not, what are your house rules, if any on these ones. I do believe that running them at 0% are breaking the strategic game, although I'm only playing at veteran/iron...

Just discovered its existence during a replay (from XWynns), but he is not using it, rest assured

I wonder if this is still viewed as a cheap tactic? Not fan of using it anyway.

On 2nd turn, only one reinforcement arrived and yet I faced 2 pods at once. It seemed to me that one was preplaced, as the other was definitively the one out of the Advent shuttle.
But glad they are finite.

In this mission there is no timer and my objectives are to protect the supply and kill all enemies. And there are reinforcements. So, is there a number of reinforcements before I win or I must find the preplaced pods and kill them before an infinite number of reinforcements wipe my squad? And is the...

Just discovered today, by reading this thread what 'Intel Package' was. I thought it was either extra intel point or a data pad to crack (for extra intel points!). So adding my voice here, 'encrypted coordinates' would be much more useful for new players; Not for me anymore, I finally know what 'Int...

This is really a big let down. Any way to recoup from that?

And if not, is that common, because really, it forbid ironman in this case.

No I don't have the Uniforms Manager. I had it in a previous play through and as I had also the issue, I removed it thinking it was the culprit. I don't have, to my knowledge, any mod adding soldiers. The guy has as his surname 'Chop', do you find it in the template soldiers? Does he have shoulder p...

Does anyone knows how to unlock a soldier uniform when it is fixed? Some soldiers, when bought on the market, can't have anything changed and so they always seem to wear a particular armor or no armor. This is bothering me to no end!

Thanks much for any advice on that

Can someone tell me what they do exactly. Playing ironman, and not remembering vanilla XCOM2 that much (and in any case, LW team could have changed their properties), I don't dare using them as a crowd control device. Basically, do they shutdown abilities, or only applies 1-2 damages, slow move and ...

Sure, he don't destroy cover (but cover destruction is somehow unreliable and there are others means), but oh man, maximized damages in an increased zone that keep loot, sweet.
Added bonus... EXO armor... Did you know that killing with a needle grenadier with the shredder cannon preserves loot

Ok thanks. Admittedly the mod warned me ... twice. There is a summary indeed before the mission (I missed it), but also during the mission you can evacuate before Firebrand is delayed 8 turns. It is only delayed if you free the prisoner. And you know there is something amiss when you unlock the pris...

I'm again confronted against this very hard mission. A city in riot, once you free the VIP, firebrand is delayed 8 turns and reinforcements arrive each turn. Luckily for me, this time, a squad of 4 insurgents help me on the other side of the town and have already attracted one of the reinforcement; ...

I have a hardtime deciding if the extra damages are more than compensating the loss of accuracy. I don't like when devs mix apples and oranges like that.

Thanks much ChrisB. So just one confirmation, this is the actual number of aliens encountered that gives the base mission xp tally, not the baseline activity. Meaning that if you want more xp, you are better to sneak at 100% and not 200% as it will reduce number of aliens. I understand there will be...
