Re: Mimimi moments, or no regrets when reloading a save

Damn that's annoying. Just today I got recommended the peek from concealment mod, sounds like that's just what you'd Need. I'll definitely install it. One of it's Features is that if you move from full cover, you can move through 3 visible tiles without getting spotted. That should insta-kill your ...

Re: Mimimi moments, or no regrets when reloading a save

Not sure if you know this and just find it unfair or if you actually don't, but: you only get to see activation warnings for enemies you can see. Often you don't see the full pod and hence don't know which tiles might be dangerous to step on. In most situations, you can solve this by approaching at...

Re: Mimimi moments, or no regrets when reloading a save

I often reload when the game lies to me ("this path is safe! No activations will occur! Oh hi, have some activations") or when it does stuff I never asked for, such as when you try to steady weapon with a soldier when that soldier hasn't finished moving, which can lead to weird crap like t...

Re: Untouchable soldier not untouchable

Not that I could tell. That soldier killed the last officer on the map so it certainly wasn't that. The shot against the soldier was taken from high ground though.

Untouchable soldier not untouchable

I had an Assault with Untouchable kill an alien, who then nevertheless got hit by an attack on the aliens' next turn (which was the only attack against him). I had another assault with Untouchable who also scored a kill on that same turn however, and that second soldier did so AFTER the one that act...

Re: The bias of Not Created Equally

BTAxis, I appreciate your analysis and effort. However, you do realize that you can still have considerable bias in a random sample size of 100. So randomization tests are often done with sample sizes of 1000 or more. Yes, but it was tedious enough to do 100, hahah. Plus I'm not ruling out an error...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover

Make sure you are using LW2's version of Perfect information. The normal PI won't properly handle the graze-band in LW2, which massively skews hit %ages (It's also good to have because it makes your own attacks more consistent when you realize how much the Graze-band is effecting your own attacks)....

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover

I use Perfect Information, and a basic ADVENT Trooper (65 aim) that was disoriented still got a reported 40% chance to hit against a soldier standing in full cover who had Aid Protocol cast on him. I don't see how that's possible.

The bias of Not Created Equally

I've done a bit of a census to see if the random stats created by Not Created Equally show any biases. I started a new game with 95 starting soldiers, so along with the 5 recruits available at the start that makes for a sample pool of 100 soldiers. Results: Aim Defense Health Dodge Hack Mobility Wil...
