So, I think we can all agree Hail of Bullets is pretty god damn strong. But I disagree with the idea of making it eat up 5 ammo as a way to nerf it. In terms of a nerf, it's really minor. The cooldown on the ability is a far greater restriction than that. It also makes the perk REQUIRE an advanced e...

Well, yeah. Sorry. Kinda figured that was a given.

I thought the OP's idea was if it could be turned off/on easily so you didn't have to change a bunch of files back and forth when checking out the differences.

Changing it mid-campaign would be a very bad idea.

Hellweave currently is described as having "a chance to set them aflame" but that chance is listed as 100% in the stats. Probably makes more sense to say "Hellweave sets them aflame" if that's the case.

I'm not sure if nexusmod installs support it, but if you install mods through the steam workshop, the launcher has a section labed "mods" that allows you to select which mods are active when you start up the game. Makes it quick and easy to turn the mod off/on.

I keep hearing people talk about this new DLC for XCOM2? Has there been any actual word on this from a legit source? Because the only thing I've actually heard about it is that someone spotted a new steamapp id on the DLC section, which often is a simple mistake made on steam's end as much as anythi...

You're missing the deeper philosophical meaning, where that civilian isn't truly bound by the collar, but rather by choice. The loose pony-tail symbolizes the willingness to bind oneself (into a pony tail), which shows that she is brainwashed and the aliens allow her the appearance of imprisonment s...

So, I got mid-way into my first campaign, decided to restart now that I've learned the basics. Just waiting for 1.2 to land to kick 'er off. Anyways, is there a cap on how low the supply job profits get? I suspect by end-game you could eventually compensate by selling off artifacts for supplies, eit...

I'm playing Minecraft while I wait. I'll put up a small headstone for the rookie whose life you just cast away.

I'm fond of giving the Boltcaster to Specialists. They've few shooting perks, and so they don't tend to need to shoot often (negating the baseline ammo problem). And it can be nice to give 'em that bigger single shot + stun chance for the rare times they are shooting instead of hacking or applying o...

Personally, I'm much more in favour of making the Overwatch chips into a Weapon Mod instead of a PCS, perhaps raising the cost a bit in the process. While making these chips a weapon mod instead of a PCS would make Overwatch a bit stronger, I have little problem with Overwatch being VERY strong with...

AWC perks are assigned upon promotion to Squaddie, not upon creation. You can confirm this by either having the AWC built (or revealing AWC perks with an ini edit) and having a rookie ready to promote. They'll get different abilities each time, even if they roll up the same class.

They are? Not seeing them in the in-game UI. Was it removed in 1.1?

Why does the German text for Killer Instinct have something about Van Doorn's mother?"

So, in Long War 1, JL eventually capped UFO upgrades so the air game wouldn't become truly unwinnable if you were the type of person who likes to stall out campaigns. I really loved that little touch, because it almost never has an impact in normal play, but caters to people like me who sit on "...

Oh shit. You can detatch weapon mods in Long War? I've been selling them off for supplies because I figured the basic ones would be replaced eventually and I could manage without em. If I can use 'em and then sell em.... that's very nice to know.

Seems to be a bug, but tagging a target with the Frost Bomb removes any disorient effects on them. This can be problematic if they thaw on the next turn.

It also removes burning, but that's probably intentional.

Long War 1.1 (Fresh start, experimental campaign). No other mods. PC. Have save file. Following screenshot. Shinobi took two shots through full cover by disoriented targets. The Officer landing a shot was just XCOM baby, but since the first one was a crit from the trooper, I was paying attention eno...

Yeah. AWC is staffed by a Scientist in Long War 2. Kinda makes more sense, if ya ask me. Also good for early game, where scientists are less critical than engineers. As an aside, I don't care as much about the location of the coils for their own sake. It's actually even more OCD than that. I like pu...

Yeah. They're like the ambush UFO landings you'd get in Long War 1. You know, a small/medium UFO landing with forces on par with a large UFO. The gameplay intent is to catch you off guard with a mission that's much stronger than it would initially appear, so you commit to the mission instead of abor...

Overall tactics vary a bit based on time you get it, but there's a few general tips. -First of all, bring all the demolitions experts you can muster. Every technical you can and any demo grenadiers. Surviving "The Surge" (as I like to call it) is the hardest part of the mission. You'll wan...

Ah. That's good to know. Does that mean we can start Gatecrasher, turn off NCE before it rolls stats, then get into the geoscape so can can save before rolling up stats? Cause that would save a hell of a lot of time. It's a bit cheesy of me, but I am very finicky about my campaign starts. I demand n...

Aye. I know. Why I said either it's a possible bug or the roll is made BEFORE it catches you.

So, I got the UFO Hunt dark event earlier, and didn't really have the resources to deal with it. It spawned with little infiltration time and was listed as swarming, so I had to suck it up. Last night, the UFO caught me, despite my attempts to scan in other areas away from it. Evasive failed and it ...

So, I finally figured out where the steam workshop was hiding the Long War ini files. Right now I'm curious about possible ways of fixing the issues with shotguns and overwatch. First thing I wanted to look at is perhaps giving Shotguns the bonus granted by one of those PCSs. Or duplicating their ef...

Saw this as well, with no other mods.

However, I think it's intentional. Perhaps to account for ADVENT's rough treatment of their prisoners. Poor schmucks need a few days to recover before getting sent out into the field.
