Re: Secure Network Tower - only 5 soldiers in Squad?

Oh so thats why ...

I assumed i was only allowed to bring 5 ppl because my region had 4-5 strength (low strength). Thought that the higher the strength the higher the number of ppl i can bring.

Re: Blacksite reinforcement waves

I too think they overdone the reinforcements rate. Its worse when you get dark events about reinforcements that you cant even counter.

Tower mission is very hard but at least they stop dropping ppl in after you hack the objective but blacksite ...

Re: Flamethrower boost

Flamethrower is a good ability, really strong. Its just hard to get into range to use it most of the time but once you manage to do it, its glorious!

I think a small range buff wouldnt hurt tho.

Re: Why XCOM2 is the most frustrating game in the world.

Ive had this in vanilla a while back but havent seen it since then... I dont think there was a solution to it. A game reinstall might help, thats what i did last i had this (i think, dont remember, was some time ago)

Re: Suggestion: Range aim bonus tweaks (quadratic, with graphs)

Yeah flanking in LW2 isnt that great anymore and in a lot of cases not worth doing because you will just miss a lot of time, even at very close range. The removal of aiming angles makes this even worse. Thus, i installed this mod http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=851054875 and im...

Re: Question: Assigning Intel on liberated regions

One of the testers explained recently (today, maybe?) that invasion missions can occur in your liberated regions if a neighboring region has a strength of at least 8. Putting people on intel in the liberated region gives you a chance to detect a "destroy the relay" mission that will preve...

Re: New and Improved Dark Events Thread

I have to agree here. In my current campaign the avatar project has 3 more ticks to to finish and i only just taken over my first region (hq mission). Enemies have so much hp that even mag weapons (which i only just researched) feel lackluster. Ive counted at lest 2 (or 3?) avatar dark events, sever...

I hate this mission so frkn much.

Re: Crazy timers

Timers are rather brutal, not always but in a lot of cases ... I personally increased them by 2 turns and its manageable altho some missions i find to be next to impossible to do even with the 2 turn increase.

Long story short, i just did my very first tower mission and lemme say that i wasnt ready for something like that!

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

Play vanilla. LW2 is amazing but vanilla is great too.

Think of it like this, Vanilla will prepare you for LW2.
