It turns out the first scientist reduces the time by 50% and the second scientist reduces the remaining time by 33%. This looks exactly the same as how the Research Lab and Proving Grounds work. So rather than each Scientist halving the remaining time, each one increases the work done per hour by th...

I found another full cover fail situation yesterday. It was one of those APC type vehicles with a full cover block diagonal to the corner. I moved a soldier up into what reported as double cover. I was spotted from the other side of the cover and out of cover from both directions. Really rude. After...

I should probably add that the problem seems to mostly be with training a rookie into a psi-operative. I haven't yet been able to verify how much it applies to later level ups (the first perk I took was very quick to train, so I couldn't really tell if it was giving the full reduction or not). I'll ...

There are two numbers. The number on your cursor and the number on your hotkey bar. The number on your cursor represents the average deviation from the targetted location. This is based on your accuracy and the distance to the target (the further away you aim, the higher the accuracy penalty). The n...

Oh, so overwatch is actually still quite useful, it might hit one of the targets that was randomly selected to act. A question: What happens if a unit is selected to do a Yellow Reflex action and then is killed , by overwatch on reveal? Do the aliens lose that action, or does that action move to an...

In the patch notes, it states that the 2nd scientist in the psi chamber should reduce training times by an additional 50% for a total of 75% training time reduction. This does not seem to be the case. In xwynns legendary campaign, the 1st scientist drops the time from 12 days to 6 days. The 2nd scie...

It has 3 Map Plots. Those are what you'd typically call new maps. The 8 Map Parcels are basically new buildings or other features that go on the maps. I haven't used any mods that add new Map Plots in LW2 as the timers were potentially prohibitive. It's probably not so bad in 1.4 since the timers ar...

It's more accurate to say a high strength/vigilance region fills the bucket faster on average. Also, it has been suggested that advent tend to hit high activity regions more often. The thing is, as the campaign progresses, you're getting effects from force level and faceless as well, which is going ...

All that I know is the minimum vigilance for a region is 1 and it becomes 2 after you build a radio relay there (your starting region doesn't count). I think the vigilance spikes are usually due to the amount of missions you need to run in your early region. In 1.2, I was able to unlock the HQ Assau...

It's Gotcha Again mod. Yes, it's amazing.

You should be getting a free radio tower after completing Liberation 4 (the tower mission). Have you researched Resistance Radio yet?

I believe retaliations are biased towards regions with high activity, but I haven't found the math for that yet. Also, I forgot about this info ; Regional cooldown COIN_MIN_COOLDOWN_HOURS=504 ; 1ce per month per region COIN_MAX_COOLDOWN_HOURS=504 ATTEMPT_COUNTERINSURGENCY_MIN_REBELS=5 ; Min Populati...

Here is some information about how the game adds to the retaliation buckets. Every rebel working on a job for a whole day (and therefore generating utility for you) has a chance to be detected. This chance increases based on difficulty, the number of faceless in the region, the amount of vigilance i...

The calculation for Vigilance is: defaultTime + ((maxWorkingRebels - baselineWorkers) - emptySlots)/baselineWorkers * maxVigilanceDecayHours defaultTime is 168 hours (7 days) maxWorkingRebels is 13 baselineWorkers is 9 emptySlots is maxWorkingrebels - workingRebels maxVigilanceDecayHours is 72 hours...

The point is, ablative armor is health that doesn't cause wounds when you lose it. There doesn't need to be a new mechanic where health magically doesn't cause wounds if it was on armor, because ablative armor health already does that. If you really want standard Armors to do that as well, you just...

This is what Ablative HP is which you get from vests and Formidable. Isn't this already provided for in the ablative armor you get from the ceramic arrmor and ablative upgrades? The predator armor provides HP as well as armor. It doesn't provide ablative armor. It seems like the HP from predator or...

Changing the skill order should have no effect. LW2 has already done the same thing in 2 patches with rejiggering their skill trees.

Those are just the stat increases you get at rank up, so you can ignore them.

Changing that config file works for me. Make sure you exit XCOM2 and then start it up again. It looks like config files are only read when loading the game, not when loading a save file.

The game does not estimate flight time for sending out the Skyranger. Always aim for at least couple hours over 100% time to account for that.

XComClassData.ini

It's a simple data structure, so just swap the names of the perks you want to reposition.

If you can afford to send 6 man teams, there is no reason not to. You never know when you'll get unlucky and have a man down, which can force you to divert someone else to carry them out rather than gather loot.

I've been thinking about Field Surgeon and I think there are a few ways to make it a worthwhile option (in order of power). 1/ Add a new Wound Severity that applies only when you were wounded in the mission, but Field Surgeon has healed you back to full health. Rather than being out for several days...

Like Garthor said, it's possible to get your Mission Intel up really high, allowing you to detect Supply Raid with a fairly good timer. This is more of a mid-game thing. (13 rebels on intel +4 Avenger Scanning) * 1.2 for Radio Tower * 1.2 for scientist = 24 rebels worth of mission intel. You can get...

The flashbang isn't lost. It doesn't show the "disorient" text above your soldiers head, but it refreshed the disorient, making it last 1 turn more.
