You need to have all the required materials before it appears. Do you have the necessary Elerium Cores?

I've been experimenting with Mag Rush, and while I was initially unimpressed, it's really grown on me. I can reliably get Mag online by the first week of May, and it's a huge upgrade. Given that you can't start lib chains until April (week 2?) in any case, I don't feel like it significantly delays m...

My experience has been that poison will reapply if you move also. If you don't move, poison will wear off either the following turn (doing 1 damage total) or the turn after (doing 2 damage total). If you move the turn after getting poisoned, it may last for an additional 2 turns (doing 3 damage tota...

1. It was a Longbow. I think squadsight micromissles is their thing. Hence the name

2. Yes, they do seem to target a lot more like a grenade. I don't think this is a problem though.

I'm trying a Mag rush in my current game, but it's taking longer than I expected. I'm into May, and still no weapons... The fact that you need 3 Scientists and 3 Engineers (I think?) could be a major problem with this strategy. I would say I've been lucky with my Extract VIP missions this game and I...

I really like the idea of a Pistol Assault! How do you build it? Maybe:

Electroshock - Close and Personal - Killer Instinct - Aggression - ??? - Bring 'Em On - ???

Yes, even with all rebels on intel, you will get a new rebel/rookie every 20 days or so if you have a soldier as advisor.

It's difficult to tell. The reason for this is pods have different jobs. Some of them will respond to hearing a noise by trying to flank where they think xcom is. I've found it very difficult to set up distractions for this reason. For example, I was trying to do a "Rescue VIP from a van" ...

You don't need the last two options, just the first one (-allowconsole)

I tried running the game with the other two and it gave me all sorts of performance issues, so in case anyone else is having similar problems...

I think you're probably just experiencing the game pushing you into doing the final mission. Global Advent Strength just rises very quickly on Legendary, and I'm pretty sure Joinrbs finished both of his campaigns around December, precisely because Advent just gets to be overwhelming. How far are you...

I really like this idea, and I might give it a go. What pistol perks would you say are essential to make it work? Also, do you know if the Redscreen Rounds debuff stacks? I use pistols on two builds: relay ranger and DfA snipers. On a DfA sniper, they have high Aim and Talon Ammo, which can lead to ...

Iron Curtain is not a guaranteed hit, although I don't know if it uses the standard hit mechanics or something else...

I think I said in the OP, but my suggested solution would be that instead of scaling up the number of enemies on the map as infiltration approaches 0%, you bring the location of the pods closer to your start zone. So if you go in at 0%, all the aliens on the map know you're coming, and they will be ...

It's also worth noting that Precision Shot is more attractive to Snap Shot snipers as it gives you back the ability (on a 3 turn cd) to snipe from range on the occasions where you find yourself in a position where you wish you didn't have Snap Shot Wait, precision shot ignores the snap shot penalty...

One more thing I should have put in the initial post - Incendary Grenades are too good. If flamethrower doesn't get a 100% chance of burning, neither should grenades... Jadiel, maybe you just got crazy good at this game if Legendary is too easy for you :) As others already asked, did you do Ironman/...

You can get UFO missions early game. I had one in April on Commander difficulty. I think it's a lot more unlikely though, as the aliens send fewer UFOs early, so you have to be very lucky to get a lead on it.

I've played through Long War 2 twice so far, once on Commander and once on Legendary. I didn't make it all the way to the victory screen on Commander, but I reached the point where I was crushing the aliens, and had Coilguns and Warden/WAR armor, researching Plasma (and trying to find Cores to build...

I'm not sure you understand the mechanic. Yes, when the aliens build the facility you know it's in South Africa (or wherever). This tells you you need to contact that region. However, even if you have contacted the resistance in South Africa, the facility doesn't appear until you find a Facility Lea...

That means you've completed the first step in the chain in those four regions. The second mission is always Extract VIP, so look out for missions like those with 'Liberation' written on them.

If you go to Haven Management, do any of your regions have dots to the right of their names? Those dots are how you manage the liberation chain. You say you've stopped doing all rescue missions - are you checking to see if any of those rescue missions are liberation missions (says Liberation below t...

Pods will never get free shots (or other non-move actions) on your turn. This mechanic was designed to encourage players to trigger pods on their turn, rather than playing passive and letting the aliens come to you (so you get a round of overwatch fire and then a full turn of actions).

I've also had this issue LW 1.1, Windows 10, no other mods Just started a HQ assault, and my sniper spawned in the middle of the map, miles away from the other 7 squad members. I can see an alien from two different pods, right on the edge of my vision, but I don't think they are active. Gonna consol...

One other thing to bear in mind is that your progress through the game will be slowed by the fact that you can't start liberation chains for a month on Legendary. So even if you can complete missions at the same speed as you did on Veteran (which is unlikely), your first region liberation will still...

I think the basics of your strategy are sound, but you seem to be heavily relying on a couple of things which I think you'll find a lot harder on Legendary. You seem to be relying on stealth a lot to get through the early game. I find stealth missions are a lot harder on higher difficulty levels, pa...
