Yes, tested this myself. No 'rerolls' for disabling/re-enabling.

Sounds like you have a dark event adding faceless to missions. Did you invest heavily in intel gathering to try and catch the missions to counter the dark events?

Upper RIGHT corner of haven management, and they only show up if you click on the Haven icon from the gameboard map.

The button to add them is not there if you open the Haven management from the Command menu within the Avenger (possible bug?).

I worked this out for EW here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/3z7v85/mobility_mechanics_are_nonsensical/ It's identical in XCOM2 except the formula is now greater-than-or-equal, so the chart is inaccurate for straight-line movement of mobilities divisible by 3. Can you de-math that just a bi...

Does this come into affect when Suppressing, or only for Overwatch?

Is the description for the pips on the havens screen at right above correct? I have two pips at New Arctic and no missions there except what is step 5 in the liberation process. I have 1 pip in West Asia where I currently only have an alien relay quest to find a lead, but it also shows Intel Package...

Been seeing the same issue with windows and half cover on some missions but not all. No custom maps plots or parcels. No mods that should be affecting this. Sent track_two a save file with it happening. Have seen windows and half cover both happen on at least two different maps, different kinds each...

I've wondered if you used the specialist scanning protocol on rebels during jaibreak, if it would reveal if one was faceless, haven't tried it yet.

1. unlock door
2. run rebel out
3. ???
4. Profit.

I'm starting with most on intel and a few recruiting in the home zone.

Once I have more zones, I'm halving those two in each so I don't get overwhelmed with missions and I spread out the advent strength gains that happen in reaction to doing missions.

Great, thanks.

Is there some valid reason I'm missing for why I keep encountering advent classed troopers with 30 defense even when I have them completely flanked? Seems like when this happens all of them get the boost, or at least all from the same pod... If I'm not missing something and this is a bug, I have see...

Then why do the Enemy Activity displays and the Readiness displays change at different times? As I noted above at 100% infiltration Readiness is almost never showing Vulnerable yet.

If these are displaying the same value, which one is correct and which is mistaken?

I believe it's a possible max-rank perk for Specialists? Yep the max rank I think it's center choice perk for Specialist allows a chance to receive a Resistance Mec for the region on a successful hack. It's also the one that give your permanent control of the hacked robotic unit IIRC. I also got on...

So there's the Enemy Activity from Extremely Light to Swarming, and then there's Readiness from Vulnerable to Fortified. In the archives, both values are described as reflecting the number of enemies you will face, but there's no information regarding how these two values differ in their affect on t...

For whatever reason the Advent statue mission does not leave corpses, even though you do not evac at the end. I think there's supposedly an implied evac on that one.

I think most of us are waiting for 1.1 at this point. I'm going to place a bet on doing basic research twice. There are very few critical techs, the only one I can think of early game is lasers are nice but pushing them back even up to a month doesn't necessarily hurt that much because you don't ha...

Yeah just tried this myself with a 17 mobility and an 11 mobility on a train map where I had a nice long open area I could run in a straight line. 11+11 or 22 dash for the 17 and 7+7 or a 14 dash for the 11 mobility. Matches with fowlJ's formula and indicates it takes more than .66666 to round up to...

I am really hoping we have the patch for this weekend. Hopefully saying that doesn't endanger any rookies.

I think you need to run the sims comparing if you DO get 1 or 2 scientists along the way too though. Seems like basic research would have the most effect when you don't get them and be somewhat diminished if you do. Not necessarily as much as you might think, remember those scientist s will reduce ...

I think you need to run the sims comparing if you DO get 1 or 2 scientists along the way too though.

EDIT: Went ahead and did one comparison assuming 1 scientist on day 30: No Basic Res...

I would LOVE to see a video of what a Swarming Supply Raid looks like. So we know how much to prepare. Also, don't grenadiers have a finite number of grenades. I've got to imagine that once you run out, you're pretty much screwed. They do, but they can get a free one from the perk, and any speciali...

I have found on destroy alien relay missions where you are running short on turns the Ranger's shotgun can help knock a LOT of health off that thing in one attack. Similarly, if the gunner stands next to it they can knife it and then shoot (at the relay OR any enemies still bothering you), getting ...

There are a few streamers credited in the readme file as QA/playtester/Design Advisor, they probably are helping test the patch: Here's the section from the readme: Quality Assurance and Design Advisers Matt Price Xavier Wynns Stephen "JoINrbs" Flavall (https://www.twitch.tv/joinrbs) Tim &...

should be easy enough to test.
