Is there a Penalty for not Investigating Alien Activity?

You get +1% on alien research every time a councilor investigates an Alien Activity (crashed UFO, shimmery abduction site). But this bonus maxes out at +50%. At that point, is there any reason to continue investigating these site?

Unification immediately after Conquest

A few times I've seen conquered countries immediately unified with the conquering nation (Ukraine joining Eurasia, Serbia joining Eurasia), but every time I conquer another nation, I am only given control of the nation, rather than it being unified with the conquerors. What are the requirements for ...

How can I be certain a councilor is loyal / has been turned?

So I've been seeing many enemy agents evade my Hostile Takeover attempts, and I am starting to worry that one of my agents has turned. So I have started investigating my own councilors. I perform an investigation mission on one of my own and it is a Success. And the Loyalty stat, instead of being in...

Re: The bias of Not Created Equally

I've noted this trade off as well. Didn't do anything quite so scientific.
I noted that in 5 or so restarts I was sacrificing aim (most important stat).

Re: Assault class - how to effectively used them?

I had the same problem. It is always a temptation to run up and shotgun the problem away... Then another pod activates and it is even farther away and your assault is exposed... ugh. So what I do is try to think about the assault as a defensive unit. Disorient with the arc thrower, or get close and ...

Re: Grenadiers suck.

I like grenadiers. I take one on most every mission and consider only a little less valuable when incendiary is nerfed to 75% burn. I do all left hand branch except for chainshot and full kit. And all my specialists have airdrop. I wear ablative most of the time, so with heavy ordinance at corporal ...

Re: Squad-wide weapon/armour upgrade

I would really like to see the costs fall off with each purchase until eventually it's free. Or alternatively the cost doesn't decline but after buying say 15 predator armors, it becomes a free upgrade. If you want to be really slick about it each weapon tier would be grouped, such that buying a las...

Re: L/I Victory Campaign Summary

Psi is amazing. With the trial by fire officer perk you absolutely can get them up and effective by Aug...

Re: Combatives fix

I agree that the preferred fix is a tweak to Muton AI making melee less likely. Say 90% chance they melee. Would result in much the same survival chance, though. Also regarding enemies hitting you through combatives in v1.4, I once parked a shinobi inbetween 2 mutons, adjacent to each. Combatives pr...

Re: Bug on Shen's Gift Last Stage. Game stalls out.

So I loaded from the a previous save, and played through the level. And everything went fine.
I assume the bug is caused by a very specific event. Perhaps overdrive skill on spark, or something else.

Bug on Shen's Gift Last Stage. Game stalls out.

I am having a problem with the 3rd and last stage of Shen's Gift. The game stalls out. Usually when the Sectopod breaks out, but sometimes sooner. It feels like the the game is slowing down then gets stuck. Details: v1.4 (Alien Hunters disabled/turned off) Using Steam, and auto-update. Current mods ...

Re: Retaliations
