Fucking dickhead, absolutely no need for that.

No need for that either.

I know rhat changing a rebel means the loss of a day of work, changing the avenger means the loss of 6 hours of work, but does anybody know wich is the loss of time when we change advisors? and does it depend on the advisor class? Changing advisors has no loss and the class does not matter, only so...

Is it really too much to ask to have a positive discussion on strategy on these forums? Some of us like the challenge of not being handed a near perfect squad on day one. I don't know where the need to complain about this comes from. You obviously have a solution that nerfs it for you, why continue...

To everyone that saying that they can't play without commander's choice to prevent bad stats-class match ups on soldiers because it makes the game unplayable and not fun: Why don't you just turn NCE and HP off? Because we want to deal with varied troops but have control on who becomes what soldier ...

Ah, that was just added as I was writing this.

I wonder where that gets added to? A squaddie perk?

So I took a look through the translation request, this of course outlines most of the changes being made to various abilities and mechanics that have text involved with them. Thought I would do a quick run through of them and share some thoughts. I'll do the strat stuff first then tactical. Smash N ...

The reward for the mission is 'Unhindered Operations'. Not to mention the pile of free xp. I dont mind not getting additional supplies as the ones on the trucks represent the ones I get at the end of the month. But since there is no evac on this mission, shouldnt we at least get the bodies? I think...

Ok, I think that's pretty normal.

I could see recruit being an interesting option, not so sure I'd care about supplies. It would be helpful especially when you have a haven that is low on rebels and needs some help rebuilding.

Though I think this would be the type of thing I'd rather see as a mod.

How long are you talking about. Can you time it using a phone or watch? I think they normally take a bit to load and I've noticed stuttering as well. I'm not sure what is 'normal' loading time, I've always just assumed it was going to be slow and did something else while it loaded.

Ya it was kind of odd. They didn't just activate right away either. After the unit stopped burning my kill counter mod kept flipping back and forth between 8 active and 0 active and the combat music kept turning on and off even though they were still patrolling normally. It took about 3-4 turns of t...

There is a lot of confusion, most of which seems to be misguided information in the community. Here's the specifics. Intel/Recruit/Supply raids, sometimes caused mini-retals, automatically spawn and are all instant infiltration like Rendezvous. They have roughly a 2-3 week regional cooldown. So once...

I don't really play roulette with my rookies: after a perfect or semi-perfect Gatecrasher I check the soldier list and see how many edge cases I got (both the ones with excelent stats for certain classes and the ones that just won't succeed as anything but on a specific class) and I save them for G...

I really don't understand how people have so much trouble with intel raids. In any campaign I've run I basically considered them free xp farm. To the point that I was using them to power level the squads. I don't actually remember ever taking more than a couple of small wounds on the advisor, which...

I really don't understand how people have so much trouble with intel raids. In any campaign I've run I basically considered them free xp farm. Well, I've seen xwynns struggle with them and he's a better player than I. I just tried to run the Data Leak mission to prevent one. But I only had 4 hours ...

I had this happen on a supply raid, only it wasn't my guy, it was a Rocketeer in a rainbow pod. Was funny watching him go down to 1 HP, right up until the point they activated 3 turns later and started going batshit crazy because my squad was concealed. Then they just scattered across the whole map ...

I always go AWC > Engineer > GTS. I don't really see the value in GTS first. I don't find officers worth that much in the early game and I can level rookies faster on missions. The AWC is most valuable early game as the wound times tend to spike if it's more than a graze. The perks are also nice to...

Ah, I was not expecting it to be all hand coded for each level. That must have been a nightmare! Or they more likely have an app that spits them out based on some settings then maybe hand-tweak as needed? I figured there was some sort of 'schedule' but I was expecting the counts and such to be more ...

Some missions have baseline activity modifiers. A mission with +2 baseline activity could never go below light (if it were at extremely light it'd then apply its +2 modifier and become light). That's my understanding of this at least. This was my understanding as well. So I decided to setup a littl...

Good. Frankly, the benefits and the risks are quite balanced on Swarming Supply Line Raids. I imagine if the numbers can go up to Swarming with pluses it'll be quite the risk to attempt them in the future. I had a 48 aliens swarming supply raid in April. Not a scratch on any soldier. There's not mu...

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 s...

Light is 13-15 Also 175% is not one of the breakpoints. They are 125, 150 and 200. There is however a probability that you will reach the next breakpoint in between. The probability increases the closer you get to the breakpoint. At 175% there is a 50% chance on the next update that it will change t...

This seems to be a common misconception that the activity level description is affected directly by infiltration when it is not. EDIT: Ignore all of this nonsense. fowlJ has the answer below! Basically what happens is this. When a mission spawns it gets a base number of aliens, i think its something...
