Re: My Long War of the Chosen ideas

Chosen Fortress Assaults should require the parent region be Liberated or replace the HQ Assault for that region.

Re: Which rooms to build first

You want GTS first, then AWC second. Third will be power unless you get lucky and get PoI's that assign power to the Avenger. In my campaign I did and so I have the PG now too. Have a shielded coil ready for the Laboratory next . I'm at work and can't check the game (kind of a noob anyway) - but do...

Yes you do, they just don't contribute to the 'mission' xp that all soldiers get.
Do QRFs drop loot? I recall that one or both were disabled for QRFs but, I might be experiencing false memories.

Re: List of what do you want to see so much

If conventional mines became a thing, I don't believe the Technical should be the one to gain the relevant skills. Technical, as is, could use some tweaks to Concussion Rocket and the ability to gain additional rocket / flamer charges. Beyond that, the class is solid. Adding in mine relevant skills ...

Why not just boost the Aim on all tiers of Bolt Caster by +5?

Re: So what map packs work well with long war 2 (without having to alter timers)

I'll plug Doctor Mandarb's Map Pack. As of this post it includes 84 City Center PCPs, 64 Slums PCPs, and 4 City Center Parcels. Doctor Mandarb has been updating the mod regularly and more content is planned.

It's hard to tell what is vanilla and what is Doctor Mandarb's.

Re: Alternate nerf to Hail of Bullets

Full Round Action seems about right to nerf Hail of Balance. An increase in ammo count brings it down from "pretty darn good" to "this is still worth taking" but, I feel five ammo needlessly harms classes that roll it in the AWC. In my opinion, I think incremental nerfs/buffs are...

Re: Are Flashbangs overpowered

Support grenades are in a good spot. Flash and Smoke worth taking over double Frag all day e'rryday.

Support Grenadiers overpowered? Ehhh... I think Airdrop is OP with a Support Grenadier but, the Boomer / Support tree balance is pretty good in my opinion.

Starting Regions

I believe LW2's starting regions are unchanged from vanilla, i.e., Europe, Oceania, and South America are omitted as potential starting regions.

Can this be changed so that any region is available as a start position?

Should it be changed?

Pick? How dare you slap RNG in the face like that.

I do like where you're going with your second point though. We should be able to start in any region on the globe. More psuedo-randomness!

Re: Boltcaster sucks a ding dong?

I assume that the no-mods limitation was why they gave it stun and +15 to hit in vanilla. That made it worth the one shot limitation there, so I am a little perplexed as to why Pavonis nerfed it, at least with the quantities of enemies that are often on the missions and even in individual pods now....
