Well I placed my Shinobi around a corner so the Muton slash was a diagonal one if that has sth to do with it. All other reasons you listed didnt apply to that situation and the Muton Centurion didnt move as well. Sadly I was too shocked to ALT+F4 to get a safe file for debugging so I cannot show you...

So how does the perk work? I always skipped it because it was never worth taking it on a gunner. But then I read about countering Mutons with shinobis placing next to them so I picked it on my newest shinobi. First mission he goes on i got in a hairy situation by making a bad activation and encounte...

Version: 1.3 System: Windows 7 Mods: Gotcha Again, Perfect Information, Additional Icons, Evac All Save file exists. After getting marked my soldier wasn't able to leave that spot shown in the screenshot. After reloading the save file he stopped taking cover at that spot as well but still wouldn't m...

The Bugs are the most serious problem I have with the game at this moment and actually stopped me from playing it altogether. I have a very good running Ironman Commander campaign alive but after losing 2 Missions back to back to abysmal LoS bugs (good old Micro Missiles through solid wall and out o...

I know how this works in theory (by reading forums and watching vods) but I never looked up the exact numbers because I find this concept of avoiding mini retaliations by placing exactly the right number of guys on each job extremely gamey. Saying that, I will never ever do one of these missions on ...

Moderate-Heavy on Commander and the toughest Long War 2 mission i have ever played (including a finished Veteran campaign).

So I just had a game crash between turns. And after I restarted the game the save file of that campaign was not there. After second game restart and a reboot I checked again and the save game still didn't appear. So I checked the save game folder on my pc and it vanished from there as well? So how d...

Version: 1.2 System: Windows 7 Mods: Gotcha again, Perfect Information, Additional Icons Closing open doors tends to take away the players Line of Sight, but the AI can see and sometimes shoot through them as if they weren't closed. I would argue to take the option of closing a door away until this ...

Both these cases are example of the really unfair side of this mechanic. But in most cases it is manageable. (Still would take mind control out of the yellow alert actions imo :D ) Sectoids don't have mind control. They got one ability that randomly choose between Mind control/disorient/panic. Your...

I understand why yellow alert is a thing: -to prevent cheesy tactics like bunching your entire team up in the open to create overwatch traps like in LW1 -to deepen the tactical level (can a yellow alert pod flank me here?) -to make scout shinobis better But when the RNG rolls bad on these it REALLY ...

I've done some extensive testing with ADVENT strength and youll notice it being stale for a long while and then it's just going to ramp up. I've been sitting on 1-2 for like 4 months and on the 5th month everywhere is 3-4. Sorry for the late update but this is more or less exactly what happened in ...

So this I wrote already on XCom Reddit: So after losing my last campaign horribly on the strategic level, I decided to change my strategy in the new one. I planned to rapidly expand and favor quantity over quality in regards to tactical missions, meaning taking on nearly every mission presented with...

Version: 1.1 System: Windows 7 Mods: Gotcha, Perfect Information, Additional Icons no save file Jailbreak mission on an urban map. As you can see in the screenshot, the grenade graphic doesn't appear in the preview and the soldiers which it should affect weren't highlighted. I threw a frag and a fla...

Version: 1.1 System: Windows 7 Mods: Gotcha, Perfect Information, Additional Icons So this was a VIP Jailbreak mission. Hacked the door and moved my soldier afterward into the position you can see in the screen. Then switched control to VIP and saw that he was stuck inside a bench and I couldn't mov...

In the campaign I am running right now, I evaded the first (and only so far) UFO hunt. So its definitely possible
I'm playing on second difficulty if that makes the evasion easier.

So I have a couple lost campaigns already and in every single one the Last Gift mission appeared really early as the first or second (after the alien hunter weapons) POI on the geoscape. Now I am running a 1.1 campaign into late May and still didnt get the mission. I got lots of other POIs though so...
