Re: v1.4 Officer Skills and Tricky Tradeoffs

Lead by Example combos very,very well with Trial by Fire.

Make your TBF officer out of a high aim sharpshooter or ranger and you'll see what I mean.

Re: I don't understand when I should recruit/supply/intel

In my current L/H run I'm in late-April and completely strapped for supplies. My starting haven just survived a retaliation w/ 7 rebels remaining. Ordinarily, I'd recruit up to 13 ... but because I know there are no faceless I'm on supply instead. Will get me enough $ to buy Vulture after the next d...

Re: Questions about force level

Thanks!

That makes sense. Sounds like I'm getting my ass handed to me fair and square.

As it should be.

Questions about force level

I recently started my first L/I game after playing mostly C/I for a while. I've encountered to missions that make me think I'm either encountering a force level bug ... or not understanding force level correctly. (Probably the later). On my first post-gatecrasher GOP I encountered a Viper and on my ...

Re: I'm getting rocked on legendary o.o

Just to add a resource to the conversation:

joinrb's post on haven management strategy in the 201 forum gives great detail on how to maximize the number of missions you get.

Re: Thoughts on the 1.3 changes

Well it looks like I am turning automatic updates off for XCOM2, these changes look pretty dumb. I just want to say that I am extremely impressed by your ability to so confidently assess the value of these changes on the basis of a text description without ever seeing them in action and without eve...

Re: Failed mission grants non-zero XP

Really? That sounds exploitable. I had read somewhere that the XP gained from a failed mission depended on the % of enemies killed. Not so?

Failed mission grants non-zero XP

Not sure if this is a bug, but I had two soldiers promote after evacing out of a mission with so much as seeing an ayy.

Have save file if needed.

Re: Rifle Suppression

In LW1, I always wanted to have a source of secondary suppression. But I feel like it's significantly less important in LW2 for a couple of reasons. 1. The AI is no longer seems pants on head retarded about when supressed (will shoot at other targets sometimes, non-suppressed AYYs no longer focus on...

Re: Looking for opinions on my strategy if trying legend

For what it's worth, I've been doing something very similar with good results on C/I. One difference is that I stopped training Shinobi/Specialist teams after getting to 4 squads and switched to building a B-team combat squad. 4 infiltration teams seem to be able to keep up with running Intel in 3 r...
