Yeah, it definitely was not done so in an elegant or user-friendly fashion. Seems like a debug tool rather than one meant to be a proper experience for players. Guess that's why RM decided to make his mod.

I, too, was wondering about this. Does this mean that relays have a 10% to be grazed?

Did you check if your custom mod is loaded after LW2? And that you're using the +configOption=newConfig rather than outright overwriting the previous one? What about the [configClass] square brackets?

Because I could swear my own custom mod edits are working on LW_Overhaul.ini...

Wow Zyxpsilon! Nice to see you delving into balance modding! So can we expect a balance overhaul from you some time soon?

RealityMachina did something like this recently, you may want to check it out. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =854366679

Item and Tech tables are found in LW_Overhaul.ini

But from what I know though the infinite='true' option may not be working.

Do Haven advisors build advent strength or build vigilance? What if everyone else is in hiding? Will Advisors still be building advent strength or building vigilance? So if I'm trying to keep a low profile should I also remove the advisor if everyone is in hiding? Will Advisors still be looking for...

Advent Strength (the number displayed on the map) is not the same as force level. Strength influences the number of enemies on the mission, whereas force level, like vanilla, influences enemy progression. Force level is a hidden stat that can vary on a per region basis too. Then there are also dark ...

That may be how it works, I was just making a logical deduction based on what I saw. It's how I would have done it.

If that is the case, then it means causing distractions makes even less of an impact as advent will not pull troops out faster than you lose vigilance.

Also, you seem to be missing a comma in your parenthesis, between CovertnessWeight and IndividualMultiplier. Could that be the cause?

I had an interesting discussion about this in another thread http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=23721 Go have a read, if you haven't already. But trihero tested it and came to the conclusion that these numbers (in particular, those on the ghost suit) had little noticea...

This is good. Thanks a lot!

Go to the .ini file governing LW's strategic game. I can't remember what it was, LW_something.ini Search for something along the lines of "emergency ufo"s. That should be the duration between alien force level increases across the board. Note that Aliens also get superemergency ufos based ...

Thanks for clarification. Another question - about alien FL You can adjust it in DefaultGameData.ini (AFAIR) looking for AlienHeadquarters force interval. It is set to 252 on all difficulties except legendary (360). Upping is results in longer time between alien force level increase. So if you want...

One little question, when you say "Vigilance only goes away naturally on its own" do you mean to say that I could theoretically wait and not do any missions in my network tower region and start doing missions in neighboring regions and eventually Advent will start to divert it's strength ...

Any form of activity with 4 or more rebels doing (supply/recruit/Intel), will have a chance of generating a disrupt the activity mission by advent, higher chance per rebel performing the job. So... Hiding maxes out its usefulness at limiting your rebels to only work in batches of 3? If I have 3 reb...

From what I recall on my on-and-off browsing of the code, advent allocates and diverts advent strength based on a hidden "vigilance" value in each haven. Vigilance is increased per successful mission. Some types of missions increase it more than others (especially get advent's attention mi...

Thanks Zyxpsilon! What a hero!

This is a good idea. Maybe, as an extra punish, you give these red alert RNFs the ability have reflex actions the turn they deploy. That is, shoot your soldiers. You ARE supposed to have evac-ed by turn 8, after all.

One more question about intel rebel jobs. As I understand assigning scientists\rebels in a region to intel job results in more appropriate missions. But does it influence on amount of missions? So if I am assigning more rebels to this job - would I get more missions or just better missions? Someone...

The only way to do that is to rely on guaranteed damage, much of which Pavonis has mostly removed in LW2. This is untrue. Combat protocol is still in as the first chooseable perk for the specialist, hail of bullets for the gunner as his second rank. Grenades, have mostly been converted away from co...

I guess ultimately the discussion comes down to a debate between different philosophies. In most tactical/strategy games throughout history, players are used to being in control of everything. Everything that happens, is a result of the player's (or his opponent's) actions. If something good happens...

That's cool! I'm really curious how to get those diamonds though! I use LAByrinth and am really attached to those diamonds on weapon upgrades

Any chance you might release a mod of the mod for that

Well you can't now, because IIRC current snapshot gives a whole lot of really bad penalties at beyond squadsight range.

I like this idea a lot. It should also be easy to create a mod off. I have been playing with Grimy's Headhunter class a lot and other than the RNG gimmick they use, a snapshot sniper without squadsight is really fluid and very flexible. Due to the penalties at close to mid range, there is a slight g...
