Re: Suggestion: Don't Start With The Chosen Active

Indeed, maybe time would be better, or possibly global or regional vigilance, or number of missions run or total days of infiltration in a region, or the number of rebels in havens or a combination of some of those things. I was just thinking of ways the game might seem more alive? organic? responsi...

Suggestion: Don't Start With The Chosen Active

Hi all, just leaving a suggestion here. Use or ignore it as you see fit. For me playing WOTC it seemed a little something was off when you start the game with the chosen already active. Seems to me that the chosen should be "called out" by the elders to "deal with" X-com once the...

Re: Is there a target preview style mod for long war 2? If so which one is best to use with long war 2?

Gotcha Again is what you want. Line of sight preview is different, for a different task, but it can help if you use it as well, makes my game really laggy when I do though (only when I click the icon, not the whole time). The real reason I have LOS preview is that it has a "body location previe...

I occasionally use them to blow up walls on "destroy the relay" missions to clear a shot for my sharpshooters.

Re: HQ Assault

Would be interesting to hear other approaches. But so far, slow retreat has worked pretty well for me. I try not to use explosives until the area is almost clear or it's a really juicy shot so I don't attract too much attention too early. I usually bring a stealth shinobi or 2 with spider armor and...

It shouldn't. Might see some small differences due to Spark tree and gear changes, but nothing huge. I did read a report that the "Show Defense in Armory" mod has a nasty conflict with our own update with that functionality, so you should turn that mod off to play LW2. Cool, Thanks! On th...

Re: Should I restart campaign?

Disagree with advice about not generating supplies early. I start doing supplies as soon as I can generate about 4 simultaneous missions. That's only about 2.5 regions on Intel. Not unusual to be able to get a good supply drop in May or early June. One of the reasons I love this game. There are lot...

Re: Command pod in Supply Raids

I don't know for sure, but I think it comes from under-infiltrating those missions. I think they also need to be in a region with strength 4 or higher?

Re: Should I restart campaign?

Sounds like you are using a lot of bigger squads on missions? I personally try to do every mission I can, since that raises vigilance, which also slows down the Avatar project. I've lost too many times getting ready for golden path(story) missions and not doing other missions while waiting for my la...

If you are facing muton centurions and mecs with just lasers and you are so far behind money and tech wise you are probably hosed. I'm betting you'll be game over soon from the Avatar project creeping along behind the scenes. I've lost several campaigns that way. If you can I would try expanding to ...

Re: What trigger missions related to Heavens?

For advent level 4 you probably mean level 4 to 6. Well perhaps during a long time during the campaign I had very rarely this Advent level, and more 7 to 10 and 1 to 3. That looks bizarre I didn't get those missions during a so long time but ok could be that. Actually, I mean 4 or higher. And, once...

Re: What trigger missions related to Heavens?

Also, ADVENT needs Strength 7 (I believe that's the limit) in an adjacent region to initiate a retal. Advent needs ST 7 in an adjacent region to initiate an "invasion" of a liberated region, not a retal (if I remember correctly). Advent needs ST 4 in a region to initiate a full retaliatio...

Yep, I am constantly having soldiers knocked unconscious when at full health.

Re: Alien strength, how to control it? Global.

For me, it's also ideal to try and do HQ missions with the region at 5 strength exactly. When you liberate a region (finish HQ mission) it destroys up to 5 strength from that region. If there's more than 5 it moves to adjacent regions, less than 5, it's still destroyed, but it's best to remove the e...

I like LW2 to be fun as well, and quite frankly I do find the micro-management of gear to be a tedious experience. It's rather un-fun to have to move around equipment all the time, however, I do appreciate the gritty-ness of doing it. It makes it feel more like an older game that didn't care so much...
