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.

Need to delete them in in \Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config. These will be recreated on your next game start. Beyond that ... are you trying to run any other mods with LW2? Running with our pack mods will cause problems (all the stuff from those mods are in LW2, so you don't need those as we...

Did you do the delete-your-config files troubleshooting step?

I think you have to trigger objectives to do this.

You might post your steps here so it can help someone in the future.

You only need the vanilla XCOM 2 with no DLC for Long War 2 to work. LW2 does work with the little DLCs for XCOM 2, but it does NOT work with War of the Chosen. If you have WotC, you can still play LW2; just select the non-WotC version of the game in the launcher.

Those were indeed good days. I actually spent a couple of days trying to make a "mortarpod" -- basically a mini-sectopod that only had the rocket artillery launch ability, and not the main gun or the little plasma turret. It was intended to be an overwatch-wall breaker (kinda like real mor...

I remember when threads like this would cause me to add 40 hp and 2 DR to the enemy in question.

I've seen Children of a Dead Earth but not played it. I suspect we're actually drawing from some of the same sources -- the incomparable Atomic Rockets web site chief among them.

Nice. I like the back-handed compliment to Julian Gollop: yeah we have the Phoenix Project but in our version they just run away... Sigh. I swear this is a case of convergent creativity; I go for nods to other properties that are a little more subtle than that. Maybe I oughta run a contest for a re...
