Resource SHowing Mission Spawn Requirements

Does anyone have a link to a list of all the mission types and the Vigilence and Advent Strength requirements for them to spawn? I coulda sworn I'd seen one a while back but can't find it anymore :( Any help would be awesome!

Re: Announcement regarding LW2+WotC

It’s a real shame. You guys were literally the only reason I bought WOTC. Didn’t like the look of it from start and literally got it just for the assets for LW2. Thanks so much for all you’ve done to make this game a good one. I’ve spent a lot of free time on bother first and second Long Wars. You g...

I like the dea of giv No towers and or drones Scanning Protocol. I also like the dea and f alerted pods potentially even having no battle scanners. To solve the problem of scouts then being instagibbed should they be unlucky enough to be near one of those we could simply set things so that SP/BS alw...

Re: Coping with wildly unbalanced Haven Retals ahead of 1.5?

Oh, these rentals are the easiest, aside from Supply Retals. I love em. Super easy to do well. Just not if there's a bug plopping 16 units in a clump one blue move from evac. It's got to be a config mess. Need to delete the folder and hopefully I'll never see it again and they go back to smooth sail...

Re: Coping with wildly unbalanced Haven Retals ahead of 1.5?

There should never be any pods on the map for defend missions where there is a timer before the evac zone appears. If this happens to you, please send me a link to a save, preferably one in the geoscape before the mission starts. My guess is a mod conflict of some kind, though, or stale INI files, ...

Re: Coping with wildly unbalanced Haven Retals ahead of 1.5?

To be clear it's a full Haven retal. I've had a pod or two on the grading for retaliations where you defend the AO for 5 turns before you can evac. If this is not a LW2 bug what could it be? I don't have any mods that mess with pods.

Re: Coping with wildly unbalanced Haven Retals ahead of 1.5?

This sounds like the haven defense from the mod "Additional Mission Types" created by Reality Machina. In Long War the retal with reinforcements every turn is the Haven Defense but it does not start with any pods already in the field. Also even if it was the supply raid mini retal that st...

How does everyone else deal with these crazy retals? I just loaded a Defend the AO mission... half a blue move away from me are three or four 4 man pods... In a map that, unless I'm confused, isn't supposed to generally start with anything on the ground... It's the one with RNFs every turn. What's t...

Re: Combatives fix

Making melee hits guarantee a graze will elliminate those shitty instagib scenarios. TO compensate, reduce the chance to 80% or so. It's a good change, because you can then potentially get tank shinobis back to near full original effectiveness by specing them tank and stacking dodge to convert those...

Re: Covering Fire not proccing

Hmmm. And so there's no way to fix that? And does that mean that the debuff won't apply if they move and are fired upon if they started there move out of LoS? Thanks for your response, Saph.

And sorry, I didn't think to save it. I will if it happens again.

is there any reason that covering fire on my Sentinel Specialist wouldn't prod on two advent I have vision on who took basic flashbanged shots? They didn't have SStep.

Re: Combatives fix

If you guarantee that a hit when you have Combatives on will graze, you further increase the chance that it'll be a total miss, and can then spec and gear your tank shinobi to eventually get the full 100% chance to miss. Tank shinobis will then have a super powerful mid/late game ability in Combativ...

Re: Combatives fix

Just gonna paste my idea from my post: It seems the consensus is that a 10% chance to lose your shinobi to an unlucky mutton slice is just too much RNG and for many may invalidate it.

Re: Solution for Combatives issue

My intention is just to suggest a way to facilitate what Pavonis is trying to do with the 1.5 change to Combatives that won't be a 10% chance to lose a shinobi or gunner :P i like graze portion's synergy with tank spec shinobi a lot.

Preferred method for picking classes

Hi all, Just curious how we all like to rank up early roster. Do you mass rookies for the first few missions for a wider roster at the cost of random/subpar classes for unit stats? Or do you carefully control the odds of getting a class suited to your first Unit's stats and only rank up rookies from...
