Re: Is there a mod that shows which soldiers have served under which officer?

That's not a bad idea, changing their name. It could be just a suffix added to the existing name, like -A, -B, etc which is ties to a particular officer (say, the first initial of their nickname?). Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Re: Is there a mod that shows which soldiers have served under which officer?

I know there is a list that you get with the button on the officer's display, what I was looking for was something that graphically displayed which soldiers in the Soldier View list had served under which officer. Something to make it easier to determine who to pick when making up a squad.

Is there a mod that shows which soldiers have served under which officer?

I looked through the Workshop and didn't see this, so I'm asking here. Is there a mod that makes it easy to see which soldier served under which officer? I know that if I look at each officer I can see a list of who served under him/her, but it's not easy to use to set up squads once you have jumble...

Oh, so it's really the reverse where I would see an effect; if I didn't fight the retaliation my operations would be hindered. Great, thanks!

What does "Unhindered Operations" mean exactly?

I just finished a Retaliation mission :shock: which said that the reward was "Unhindered Operations". What's that mean in game terms? Thanks!

[REQ] Sort Soldier List by Nickname

Hello, I hope I am doing this right :roll: I posed the question over on the regular LW2 forum, if there was a mod that would allow me to sort the soldier list by nickname. I didn't get any responses, I'm assuming there isn't one. I looked in the Steam Workshop and didn't see one either. In my last c...

I thought this is no longer true. I've disabled mods and the save game still loads, just with a warning.

I think this is the concept that I wasn't grasping myself. So that milestone "Monthly Supply Drop" in the queue now just gives a summary?

I've read a lot of suggestions on how and why to adjust the jobs of the resistance members during the campaign, but I'm a little baffled for what to do at the very beginning when I have just one haven and I'm just starting out. I know the logic of setting all of them to Intel to gain the best infilt...

Re: Should I play the Vamilla game first before long war 2 ?

Hmm, good question. I played a lot of vanilla XCOM 2 before LW2, but I'd have to say that LW2 can stand on it's own. You are going to have to learn a lot of tactics, tricks, etc, to get good at LW2 but frankly I'm having to unlearn stuff I picked up in vanilla that works different in LW2. So I'd say...

Re: What to do after LW2 1.1 update is installed

The path to my config folder is different than yours, mine is C:\Users\[user name]\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config

I had to go to the folder "My Games" to get to the XCOM2 folder. Just FYI. Maybe it's a Windows 7 thing.

Sort Soldier List by Nickname?

I now have lots of soldiers and I don't really remember them by last name, I remember them by their nicknames. Is there some way to change the soldier "Name" column to sort by nickname? Is there a mod (I looked, but no joy)? Should I request a mod?

This might have been discussed before but I missed it. I'm deep in an LW2 campaign and woefully short of supplies after building the Proving Grounds after AWC, GTS and Workshop plus a Power Relay. And now I'm thinking maybe I didn't need to be in such a hurry to get to the Proving Grounds, I only ha...

Question regarding reducing Advent Strength

I attacked an Advent column and the Advent Strength in my region went from 4 to 2. I'm just wondering if that is a halving of the previous value or just a -2 effect. The question becomes more pertinent when talking about Advent Strengths of 6 or 7. Thanks!
