Have you made any progress on liberating a region?
The Avatar Project runs from the start of the game (28 days after game start on rookie iirc). You don't find out about it until later on, as you are much more in the dark in LW2 compared to vanilla where the councilor magically knows everything.

AWC Healing bonus is 100% on Rookie, 50% on all other difficulties. Infiltration Boost bonus is 100% on Rookie, 75% on Veteran, 50% on higher difficulties. Baseline time for 100% infil is 96hrs on Rookie, 120hrs on Veteran, 144hrs on higher difficulties. Reinforcements are slower on Rookie and Vete...

I'd spread out your missions, if it gets to 4 or higher I believe they can start doing terror missions. I believe ADVENT strength makes missions harder as well. If you're determined to liberate right now then I'd do it as fast as possible before it gets any worse, and make sure you avoid any "G...

The way I understand it is that ADVENT notices a security breach and alerts troops nearby. You can see this in action by bypassing all pods, hacking a cell door, then backing up. The pods will walk in there to investigate (hint: take advantage of predictable enemies!) while on yellow alert (might be...

From my experiences, it is better to spread out your resistance havens instead of trying to liberate them one at a time. If you do a bunch of missions in a region, it pisses off ADVENT a lot (especially if you do sabotage monument and such). In addition, higher strength allows for terror missions an...

A Russian roommate of mine used to love the original xcom. For those who don't know in the original, will was a hidden stat. Only psi lab testing made it visible. But the aliens know your will and only attacked low will troops with psionic powers. So my roomie would make commissars. They only went ...

The higher rank the soldier is, the more likely they are to discover those filthy jello men.
On a side note, making said soldier an officer might not be a bad idea, seeing how you only get a bunch of rookies to help.

Nothing quite like having a snek activate and crit instakill a soldier during the same turn ;-;

A couple things:
1. The Avatar Project starts progress from the very beginning of the game.
2. Invading facilities comes as part of the liberation chain, which starts with "Find a lead"

(Apologies if this is in the wrong section) So, I was wondering for those veteran long warriors who have had experience with LW1 (I didn't personally), and possibly the devs and their personal thoughts. One of the things that LW1 was widely known for was its difficulty, and from my initial experienc...

Any mission that says "Find a Lead" as an objective might be the first mission in a chain of missions which will end with you Liberating a region from ADVENT control. Each of these missions has to be detected separately (if you fail to detect Lib 2 in a region, for example, it'll keep spa...

While this thing probably takes a while to complete, and I know it starts right at the beginning of the game, I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it appear since I'm worried about the game just randomly ending. I keep seeing "Find a Lead" under objectives but I'm not entirely sure ...

reinforcement flares do not appear on veteran or above

Before I want to start this off I'm going to admit I didn't really play the first long war, I'm on veteran difficulty, most of my XCOM 2 experience is vanilla, and that I'm not upset in the slightest that the game is kicking my butt :P But I am curious, because the missions tend to vary between &quo...
