I posted an explanation of this perk design here:

Welcome to my world! I can confirm that legend is beatable. I'm doing very well in my youtube Legend series right now, as is JoINrbs on his twitch stream. Yes it is by design that you should only do 33% of your initial missions. You may want to either read up on the mechanics or turn the difficulty ...

Folder is actually 844674609 and not 724710573.

I actually think Area Suppression is a tad on the OP side, and regular suppression is very useful. Too tired to go into detail atm though.

I already specced into the flamer every time, even before this change. They take a lot of skill to use properly (conceal ambush), but wow can they turn an otherwise impossible mission into a relatively easy one if pulled off correctly. Or just wipe you entirely if you get spotted trying to setup an ...

Apparently you can't manually hack a door if your primary weapon is out of ammo, it's been a long standing vanilla bug that is not well known.

So there is a chance there is actually a bug here as one other person also had the same issue. If you see it again after keeping a wider berth be sure to report back.

Gavin - Yes they can hear movement and yes dashing is louder. It's generally a very small range though and I pretty much have never seen it in 100+ small squad missions (but I take wide berths). Also note that you can use this to your advantage by running one of your operatives near them and away so...

Just a note: Technicals are very good in the early game, but don't get too reliant on them. As the campaign progresses and there are more enemies and bigger missions their burst potential wanes and you may find yourself unprepared for what lies ahead.

Thanks for the impressions

I wouldn't play lw1 without AA on and I was the #1 proponent behind keeping them on in lw2, yet despite this I'm mostly glad they are off. Reasons: 1) I *think* they do not apply for enemy units as they did in lw1, so it's just an xcom buff 2) Always wonky. Much frustration. 3) They interfered with ...

I always used CC in lw1 and I wouldn't even consider using it in lw2 (legend only). There are plenty of options available for every class to be useful and min/maxing stats isn't even really a head start. For example in my current campaign I got a nearly max aim Ranger, in theory great but I didn't h...

Rocket is the only thing that might do it, and I've never tried because the person in jail would likely be a puddle in jail after the attempt.

So, let's say the scenario is "5 soldiers against 20 enemies" on a specific mission. [Legendary Difficulty] 1) # of enemies = 20 2) 1 / (# of soldier) = 1 / 5 = 0.2 Do we compare the final value against RequiredXp[] or PerDifficultyConfig[3]'s RequiredKills[] ? Sorry, by 1 I meant #1. so ...

Enjoy.

Yes, recruiting favors additional rebels up to 13 (max rebels that can be working in a haven), then it favors additional rookies.

Have you set any of your rebels to work the Recruit job? Have you been keeping liaisons in havens?

BleedoutMod - How is LW2's mechanic similar exactly? I didn't see it in the change log for the game anywhere or features that it changed? ; Vanilla is based on will score minus a configurable penalty. This instead bases it on the overkill damage -- how much damage the soldier took beyond zero. ; Th...

The one Legend campaign I completed had 50+ in the barracks at the end, with another 30 dead (though I don't know if the game counts rebels as losses in the campaign summary)

You can check xcomLW_overhaul.ini for "cavalry" if you want to learn a little more about the infinate rnfs and edit them without experiencing it first hand.

I'm not sure if I misspoke in that explanation, rnfs do grant kill xp but they do not add to mission xp. There is technically a benefit to killing them but it's largely irrelevant (almost everything I said in that video had an edge case I had to ignore or the video would never end). Our best estimat...
