The portraits are animated; we're going for something that looks like a videoconference when you open up your council UI.

Councilors are your primary proxies on Earth and may also go to space to advance your interests there. Your faction may have up to six at a time. faction council.png Their primary role is to perform Missions on behalf of your faction. Periodically, the game will enter the mission phase, during whic...

The last thing in there says something about autosave issues. Have you tried a new campaign?

A pure virtual function crash can be lots of things; you'd probably want to find the game logs to see what's going on.

I don't have any immediate suggestions but will be keeping an eye on this thread.

This is an occasional feature of capture the VIP missions, more likely at higher strength, iirc. Think of the Faceless as plainclothes security in the crowd.

It sounds like something went wonky with the objectives. You might have to dig around to find the exact string to enter, but there are console cheat commands to automatically fulfill unfinished objectives.

Look up console (cheat) commands that kill every enemy on the board. That should end the mission.

We really didn't have a rookie version of the first Long War, unless you did the manual ini-swapping for the "training" configs. For Long War 2 we did try to make the lowest difficulty at least somewhat forgiving.

More interesting discussion on 'Oumuamua and what an alien arrival might look like to our current science:

I talk with Josh Bycer about the history of Long War and Terra Invicta:

UCross was one of our most committed playtesters back in the day and designed the Green Fog option in Long War. I know another of our playtesters, Xwynns, has played the Rebalance and speaks very highly of it. He's got some streams of it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmJ_ggMdRJJ9YRe9dUU3kYQ...

Thanks! 1. Yes. This is one of the main things your councilors do. You can gain control of nations via political means, through coup d'etats, and by increasing unrest until the nation has an "organic" (not caused directly by the councilor mission) coup or revolution. When I get into counci...

Fair point, and certainly there was no intent to cast dispersion on the Federal Republic of Germany or Italian Republic. :) I meant "non-existent" in game terms; that is, they initially function as regions within the European Union "nation" but can operate as distinct polities if...

This post will cover internal and external politics in nations. See Part 1 for a basic description of nations and their role in Terra Invicta. International Relations: Relations.png This is a fairly straightforward system governing the relationships between nations. These are things the various fact...

What you describe is neither intended behavior nor a bug I'm aware of. I'd look to any other mods you are using and/or run troubleshooting steps.

Yes, that's correct. MaxAlert is a cap on the number of advent legions (Strength); higher than that and the activity won't fire.

The config file XComLW_Activities.ini has the various settings that control which alien strategic activities occur at various vigilance and alert levels (alert = Advent strength). The alien activities are what spawn missions.

Thanks! The encouragement is much appreciated. No word yet on when/how you'll be able to support. We're working off funding we've raised privately and trying to get as much done as possible with that, and we'll weigh our options (publisher, Kickstarter/Fig, or both) when the time comes. 1) Space shi...

Thanks for your thoughts! I'm pretty happy with the way we determine how many control points there are -- the size of the economy describes how large and complex the country is, and clues the player to the relative power of each nation. Early on, we gave everybody a flat six CPs, but that was too ma...

Nations on Earth are an important game element that serve as battlegrounds for the alien invaders’ designs on Earth. They are sites of both political and military conflict. Human factions, including the player, will complete to control nations in order to make use of their resources to fulfill thei...

Original Long War is on Nexus only.

Phantom Doctrine is out in a month.

Those aren't issues I recall seeing, so I'd guess the map mods.

Yup, yup, I'll get one soon.
