Re: The AWC in LWotC - a proposal

You think that you would build entire squads of the same soldier over and over again, that seems odd to me. Even Min/Maxing soldiers for DPS I wouldn't want 6 of the same soldiers in a squad. Also I'm not suggesting we take the rng out entirely either. The way that the XCom ability slot works in Wot...

The AWC in LWotC - a proposal

One of the greatest things that LW2 brought, after the squad system, was the ability to further customize and differentiate units using the AWC perk training trees; Turning a technical into a pistol slinging bad ass, or suddenly letting a specialist double duty as an ace in the hole single target ki...

Re: Using snipers effectively.

Here's the moment that sold me on sharpshooters in LW2, and now it's always a priority to bring one along on every mission if for no reason other than the promotions.

Re: Trying to add custom abilities that utilize pistols to a custom class, need some help.

I understand; the scope of the changes to the game for LW2 is really impressive, and the fact that everything fits together so tightly is almost like this was the game Xcom2 was waiting to be, so far other than the sidearm problem which is irksome to a handful of modders, I really love it.

Trying to add custom abilities that utilize pistols to a custom class, need some help.

A custom class that I am trying to update for LW2 uses several custom abilities that affect pistols, such as increasing critical chance or shred. These abilities all work, but in the class data ini I used to have them keyed to eInv secondary, and they still work that way if I force the pistol as a s...
