Re: LW2 1.5 Bugfixes

I noticed the same thing with key rebinds resetting after a mission ends (or maybe it was after I restart the game client). Not sure if it's this mod, but it might be. Also, the dummy lib & ufo rewards is actually a brilliant change and I wish it worked when used with an ongoing campaign. I fou...

Re: AI Target order - dodge chance considered?

The third option is correct. Enemies don't take dodge into account when firing. Note: the AI will only prioritize a low defense target over your other soldiers if the defense is low enough to bring the hit chance above the 40% or 60% thresholds. If, for instance, the AI sees a 10% shot and a 30% sho...

Re: More missions after 120+

This behaviour doesn't have anything to do with number of missions played. It happens because regional vigilance is too high to spawn anything that has a vigilance cap. If you want to generate things that have a vigilance cap, like Jailbreaks, you need to be constantly contacting new regions while y...

Re: Haven advisor disappeared/bugged if "defend supply" mission not taken

Let me start by saying I don't have an answer to this. I did however recently lose a soldier without noticing, and she was stationed at a Haven and I did have a haven mission with 'unhindered' reward that I skipped due to having no available people to do it at the time. She also appeared again as a...

Re: LW2 1.5 Bugfixes

One potential issue with these bugfixes; I started a new game and have noticed that all 5 Protect Data activities I have gotten have been of the Rescue VIP type, most (possibly all) of them extract from City. I wonder if you may have introduced a bug which disabled other mission types. It's working...

Re: Legend ironman successful campaign report

I'm really surprised that you had problems with the Blacksite. The mission tends to be much easier than intended because the schedules are broken. What's that mean - "schedules are broken"? The Blacksite should have 8 pods plus 4 solo drones but because of a typo the last three pods and t...

Are there any other missions that give vigilance to neighboring regions? Like invasions or mini retals?

Re: Supply Raid Vigilance

Yes, Troop Columns can add Vigilance to nearby regions just like Supply Raids. UFOs don't add Vigilance to nearby regions, but they add 3 points of Vigilance to the region where they appear instead of one.

Both. The destination gets +1 Vigilance, the origin gets +2 or +3 and every other region adjacent to the destination has a 50% chance to get +1.

Re: Environmental Damage Falloff on Cone Attacks

Seems highly counter intuitive that environmental damage increases at range. Are those damage numbers pulled from an .ini file? Yes, it is very counterintuitive.

Re: Suicidal snakes

What happened here isn't that hard to explain when you understand the AI. Most enemies who use cover start their turn checking whether or not they are flanked and/or in a dangerous area and, if the answer is yes, they try to move even if they take reaction fire. Vipers and Mutons skip this step.

Good to know I can EXO punch through a wall at melee range and (just about?) guarantee the wall won't break. Yes, you can guarantee it.

Environmental Damage Falloff on Cone Attacks

One thing I decided to check recently was how environmental damage falloff affects Shredder Guns and Shredstorm Cannons and I noticed one thing I don't remember anyone talking about: they have damage falloff based on the distance to the center of the cone's base. This means that, when using one of t...
