Re: What class color-coding do you use?

Thank you this is the thing I needed!

It also improves a lot of other things in the ui.

I also changed the colors in config of this mod so Tactical Headshots class icon matches soldier outfit colors.

So useful to quickly see which soldier is where :)

Re: What class color-coding do you use?

Hi guys,

I am finally appreciating coloring the soldiers!

Is there a mod which colors the rows in soldier lists, based on class? You know so e. G. Assaults name etc in avenger menus are red,etc. I thought I saw a caster with such a mod but can't find it in the Workshop. :(

Re: Is frustration intended for XCOM 2

Right. So we broadly agree it's definitely not that hard, I was just hearing lots of statements in the forums of the type "they are super hard to get otehr than with like 1-2 days to infiltrate", which was counter to my experience. Thank you for all the details!

Re: Is frustration intended for XCOM 2

If I read the 2nd graph correctly, you are saying that there is 50% chance to detect that with 4.5 days to infiltrate. That is not hard at all if you look at large scale. I don't know where these spawn, but if you have 7 regions and just 2 spawn this mission, you get 75% chance to catch at least one...

Re: Is frustration intended for XCOM 2

I'm confused about all this moaning about Facility Leads being hard to find. In my games (veteran) by the tine i hit 8 regions unlocked, I gave 3-4 on Intel with scientist and 10+ rebels. The lead missions, some of which deliver Facility Lead, pop up freauently with 3 and 4 days left. With boost tha...

Re: What to do with a high vigilance region?

Invasion RNF starts way sooner than turn 5. I just had one at turn 2, and then every turn, starting with 4 units and going up quickly to 8. It is the most difficult mission in my experience unless you get lucky and can kill the relay from afar. Then it just becomes a supply raid mission.

Re: FO sectopod do not get corpse at end of mission.

It's a known bug. It is on fix list for version 1.5. To work around it at the moment, I believe you can destroy the sectopod before you end the mission. It's not shown as target, but if you pick "Attack" on any unit in range of sectopod, it will show up there and you can gun it down :)

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover

Unfortunately the AI does take shots below 0%. On lightning reflexes. On super defense-stacked units which have say 90+defense. However, the latter is likely a bug which on paper looks like 0% but some part of defense doesn't trigger, hence the shot. Graze is not shown by my mod at least in the numb...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover

On the plus side, I don't see many of these. Still, every few missions there's a soldier or two who I try to protect a lot. It has +20 defense ability (the one from Assault tree but others get it on AWC), +20-25 from Gremlin, and is in full cover or hunkering, and yet the semi-distant troopers or vi...

Thank you! So that means 2 applications of fire in a turn have 16% chance of failing (flame > command > flame).

Hi, Just wondering.... What is the burn chance on Flamethrower? Does it differ by target type and place of the target within the cone? Had some situations where 2-3 times in a row a unit isn't burning, can't find anywhere in the docs or online. Come to think of it, it's hugely important probability ...

There is quite a bit of that in LW2, but it's nothing to be angry at, since it's a monumental task to define all these details in the UI etc. One hint: use .ini to set respect time to 0, respec the soldier, bring it back. Makes no sense to sacrifice a so...

Re: Killzone bugged or am I doing something wrong.

FWIW had exact same issues with killzone. Some of the statemenrs above seem incorrect. It's enough to move 2 tiles to trigger OW shot, not _ more_ than 2 tiles. Also the problem isnt squadsight, it's simply 0 triggers on large squads at medium range. It could be that a combination of enough tiles mo...

Some of the points JoINrbs are super valid, however, it's hard for me to agree with these: - He says the extra range on the grenade launcher doesn't matter. Really?

I also see Grenadiers being a super useful unit and I always wish I had more. There are a few factors in this apart from what others have said above: 1. Needle = extra Supplies. Needle Grenadiers guarantee extra Loot, and increase corpse count on any mission with Materiel reward. 2. Because RNG is t...

Re: No Reinforcement Farming vs No Experience

I think the only thing that is broken now is that those post-objective RNF are risk free. They are in the same location, always close to your squad, close to evac point, and have no actions upon arrival. We are not afraid to camp and kill them. But we dread the mid-mission RNF because they delay obj...

Hi, First: thank you to Pavonis for this update to LW2, it's brilliant! How do you guys deal with higher detection radius? Units now seem to routinely have 12-15 tiles detection range.
