If I understood correctly, they do not remove exp from RNFs, you just can't farm more xp than base xp from the mission.

So I was doing a Datatap mission, I had 3 rebels and a liason. Unfortunately I also had infamous 0-turn pod activation, so my rebels were slaughtered, and liason barely escaped. The datapad was destroyed next turn... So mission failed, I return to base... and see that I still have 2 rebels doing int...

Don't get too used to this, in 1.5 kill xp will be capped to the same number used for mission xp. If you get a mission schedule with 10 enemies, kill xp will stop after the squad's 10th kill. What about missions where there are no aliens on the first turn? Supply convoy, Haven defense etc? 0 exp fo...

It's not a bug, AFAIK, it's a feature. Only the first target is affected by on-hit effects.

I started the mission with badly damaged Spark (it had 1 hp without armor bonus hp), healed myself with Repair ability to around 9 hp, finished the mission (even got the steam achievement), and Spark returned fully healed to the barracks. Conditions: - Spark had 1/12 hp in the barracks - Equipped Re...

I had this bug before, when I had Overwatch All mod installed. Now it works fine for me without the mod (I use Quick end Turn instead). So yeah, it's probalby this mod fault.

Has to do with map reloading as this mission has two maps. You get additional perk uses, all cooldowns reset, also ablative HP us fully restored.
Might be a feature

*Update* Used hywire on a heavy mech, it took 5 damage and got stunned... than took another 5 damage on the following turn... and another 3 (killing itself) on the turn after that, all the while it was stunned. So apparently Trojan just does not wear off, ticking like a crazy dot every turn and keep...

With 99% of cetainty - NO. They prefer to shoot characters who they have the highest chance to hit, and also guys who are low on health, and, surprisingly, hacked robots and turrets (but maybe that's because they can not have any cover bonuses in the first place, and thus are easier to hit). That's ...

*UPDATE* So yesterday I had a similar situation with a heavy turret. I shot it down with hywire and after a turn it took 5 damage from trojan, and as the turn ended it took ANOTHER 5 damage, leaving it with 1hp! So apparently the problem is not instakill but that damage applies twice, as the trojan ...

On legendary you basically HAVE TO rush advanced weapons, at least lasers, as enemies have lots of hp. You should have mags in July, or else you're basically done.

In 1.4, Trojan seems to always kill robots and turrents, no matter how many health they have left after hack expires. It easily kills advanced hunter drones and advanced mechs on full health. I've never seen a robot to survive Trojan actually. Seems kinda strange and super-OP if it is intentional (I...

I did meet solo drones at least twice in SnG missions. Might be a bug, as solo drones on missions with revealed squad are kinda useless from Advent PoV.

Correction: S'n'G *can* have solo drones.

Looks like a mod conflict.

That's how supply retaliations work actually. You have a limited number of double RNFs that you have to defeat. They drop every 2 turns in 1-2 pods, number of waves depends on region strength, most likely. Usually it's 3 to 6 waves. You can evac prematurely if you feel overwhelmed. Most players beli...

That's only because your soldiers are in the same place :) RNFs in most missions seems to drop somewhere in the baricenter of all your soldiers (a point the most closest to all your guys). A 2D example. Let's say you have two soldiers (@), then RNFs (X) will most likely drop between them. __@_______...

Grenadiers are very strong as it is, at least in querilla ops. Remember grenades have very long range (with launcher), always hit and are 100% accurate. And greandier can use them every turn! And with right perks up to 3 grenades per turn (protector+salvo)! I really don't think they need another bon...

What difficulty are you playing on? On legend there is always either viper or sectoid in Gatecrasher, so yes, it's normal. After all you start at higher strength level (2-3 instead of 1 on lower difficulties).

Yes, there is an obvious mistake in INI file. In some cases PSI considered worth 1.5 points, while in others just 1 point. Which may result in different stat summs for different soldiers.

This strategy doesn't work for Ironman

Balance:

- Add psi offense stat to recruitment list if the sectoid autopsy has been completed.

I really want this feature in my current campaign Can this be done with any INI-hacks or a mod? Calculating this stat manually has already bored me to death.

After trying stealth approach in various missions I'd like to share some tips for other "stealthy basterds" trying to adapt to 1.3 from 1.2. Note: everything is possible with savescumming, these tips are for ironman/bronzeman and just players who don't like to load a lot. Mostly from Comma...

So I deliberately delayed researching Advent Trooper corpse, so I could do it instantly after I have 20 bodies, which is not that difficult considering ~10 you get from 1st mission and 3-5 from each randezvous). So I finished another research project while having 20 corpses, and there were no option...

I'm only ~33% through campaign (L/bronzeman), but would like to share some thoughts on changes in this patch. I play with lots of QoL life mods, and the following gameplay mods&INI tweaks: - Commanders' Choice (I really hate the idea of random class pick) - Advanced modular weapons (this mod mov...
