Hmmm.... Not sure about this, but it seems as though you can no longer go negative on monthly income? If you remember, in 1.2, it was advantageous to spend all your money before the end of the month if your income was in the red, since your actual supply count could not go negative. So far I haven'...

Nice LordYanaek. So much better than my ugly programmer art chart

The whole prerequisites is a terrible idea. Look at this: Fortres goes against Soul steal. Now at its base its already a bit of a difficult choice as it gives immunities vs healing/ablative. BUT if you choose Soul Steal you cant get: Bastion (which makes sense), Fuse or Stasis shield. And seeing ho...

~/Library/Steam/SteamApps/workshop/content/268500/844674609/ (although i presume the numbers are different on different systems.) Just an aside: Those numbers are the same for all Steam users. 268500 is the ID for XCOM2. 844674609 is the ID for the LW2 mod. Since these are assigned uniquely, steam ...

Every alert level has a schedule of enemies which can appear. Some alert levels even have multiple schedules and which one is picked is randomized. Under and over infiltrating changes the alert level of that individual mission, thus changing which schedules can be picked. As far as I can tell, there...

As far as I know, Chameleon Suits never reduced detection radius, only Infiltration times. With the nerf to stealth things, I doubt it ever will.

An updated Tech Tree for 1.3 is linked here: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 20&t=25888

It's a bit rougher to read than a pure change log of course, but it gets the job done.

The whole idea is they are both situational and work better in different compositions. The thing is, as long as the developers are doing their job balancing the perks (and they are), every perk has some situation where it is better than anything else you could be doing. Danger Zone is better when yo...

Another question; The Muton Melee parry doesn't always activate, what's the trigger? At a guess I'd say it wont trigger if I'm attacking from concealment at the start of the action but I'm not sure and being as it kicking in is a sure bet to get your Shinobi killed I'm not going to risk it. Muton p...

I appreciate the humor, but can you explain why you prefer CUP over DZ? Extending Danger Zone's radius to me is a no-brainer since it lets you shoot at least 1, and more commonly 2+ extra targets with your area suppression. That is a massive massive efficiency increase over 10% aim/crit on 1 or 2 s...

In 1.2, Solace was required for Void Rift and Bastion. In 1.3, it's required for Void Rift and Domination. So it's a bit different.

For what it is worth, the new requirements list for 1.3 Psi Operatives is: Soul Fire -> Soul Steal Insanity -> Schism Mind Merge -> Soul Merge Fortress -> Bastion Fortress -> Fuse Fortress + Stasis -> Stasis Shield Solace + Stasis -> Domination Solace + Fortress -> Void Rift Stasis -> Null Lance Als...

That would have been me. Looks like there are some changes in the prereqs. From Src/LW_Overhaul/Classes/LWTemplateMods.uc (only includes LW specific requirements, vanilla requirements still apply): if (Template.DataName == 'Fuse') { Template.PrerequisiteAbilities.AddItem ('Fortress'); } if (Template...

There is a mod if you don't like that behaviour: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =877414306

No idea if the LW2 devs consider it bugged or WAD though.

Lib3 has a +3 alert modificator. Bet that counts. It's only +2 in 1.3 - Reduced Alert Level increases on Liberate missions (3 to 1 for mission 2 and 3 to 2 for missions 3 to 5) Also, he said he got it to "Extremely Light", which would mean some misreporting of difficulty by the UI beyond ...

I didn't say it was easy. Plenty of players weren't good enough to beat v1.2 0% supply raids. Plenty of other players were. v1.2 0% supply raids, broke the strategy game for those players.

Giving corpses ahead of schedule just breaks the game in even more ways for the few that can do it.

I'm not sure that's normal actually. For a Dark VIP mission reporting as "Extremely Light", you shouldn't be getting 6 Faceless. About the only way it's likely to have happened is if he also had the Alien Infiltrators Dark Event active, which would add 4 more Faceless than normal. To get 6...

How about adjusting the force level for under-infiltration? It would be reasonable, that immediately following an incident the elite is sent to investigate being later replaced by the regular guys as the shock troops move on. Giving a 0% supply raid a +4 modifier on force level would lead to an exp...

Legend difficulty is quite brutal with reflex actions (all my numbers will be for Legend as you requested). Yellow alert actions start at 38%. Green Alert actions start at 50%. Yellow alert actions are generally offensive in nature, so can be quite dangerous. Green Alert actions are always defensive...

Search for EXPLOSIVES_NUKE_CORPSES=TRUE in XComLW_Overhaul.ini and change it to FALSE. That will at least remove corpse destruction. I think it should also prevent loot destruction, but can't confirm.

About the only way to get advent strength down is by doing supply raid and troop column missions in the region or by doing lots of missions in other areas and no missions in the region you want to shrink. However, this is isn't strictly necessary. Advent HQs have a lot of troops in them by default. ...

He actually did. The first video had him send in 1 Specialist to rescue a Prisoner. It was super risky.

The XCOM wiki seems to have a reasonably detailed list of all the differences you might find in the ini files:

Will probably need an immediate update when v1.3 releases.

From XComLW_Activities.ini [LW_Overhaul.X2LWActivityDetectionCalc] ; This makes detection easier in regions of certain force levels (which are like tech levels), can be used to ramp up difficulty as alien tech level increases ; Index is difficulty, set to false to turn off all modifiers +USE_DETECTI...

Depending on difficulty level, you'll get bonuses to mission detection at low force levels. You'll blow past the bonuses very quickly on veteran (FL3), commander (FL2) and legendary (FL2), but they last all game on Rookie. Force Levels increase every 16 days on every difficulty.
