Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover
One thing to consider is that in 1.3, flashbangs and suppression don't apply as much aim penalty as they did before. I do find myself getting hit a lot more by disoriented and suppressed enemies than I used to, which is really jarring, but that's likely my reptilian brain's fault, not the game's. (T...

Re: Your favorite things about 1.3
For the first time ever I'm building an Overwatch Specialist, which is pretty cool. Ha! Same here. I'd never built an overwatch specialist before, not in any version of XCOM or LW, but 1.3 made me try one out. And I kinda like it. Lots of good stuff in this thread that I also enjoy. Smash and grab ...

Your favorite things about 1.3
I really like 1.3 so far. I thought it would be nice to start a thread with some 1.3 love, plus I'm interested in learning about some of the cool changes that I haven't encountered yet or thought much about. What are your favorite things about 1.3? My favorite thing is that there are more pods with ...

What are your favorite turn-based tactical games other than XCOM/LW?
What are your favorite turn-based tactical games other than the XCOM/Long War franchise? I've long been a monogamous game player; once I find a game I love like XCOM, I play it almost exclusively. But occasionally it's nice to add a bit of variety in there. Here are my favorite turn-based tactical g...

Re: Alien sight mechanics and breaking LOS
Yikes, I had no idea there were so many different overlapping issues. Daergar: I've been using the Gotcha Again mod, and I love how much it helps with determining line of sight on the aliens, where overwatch triggers, and when your move will activate a new pod (that you can see). Is there a way to u...

Alien sight mechanics and breaking LOS
Back in the day of LW1 and I/I EW, I remember how crucial it was for me to learn how to break line of sight from the aliens. Occasionally I'll try the same thing in LW2, like hiding behind the non-edge tiles of a large van, only for some Muton to reward my cleverness by lobbing a plasma grenade at m...
