I never played LW1 so I can't compare but if I understand well it's new stuff added by LW2. Firstly Infiltration system is brilliant from various aspects, for example: - The base with Havens to setup a light 4X layout, much more smart than multiplying XCOM bases. - A cool tool for player to manage i...

Right I mixed the cases but not at all on my original post, yes I was checking aliens spotting and on all path and around including position you can't move on but that you'll jump above or alk on. So Im' pretty sure I had bugs if I was seeing all enemies, what I'm less sure is that it's possible tha...

Rescuing rebels in retaliations is the same as rescuing civvies in the first game's terror missions: Your objective is to rescue the unarmed squishies, but your tactics should focus on killing all the aliens before they have too many (read: any) chances to fire. Try not to activate more than one po...

I agree with you Razor I also thought I would like bind some items to soldiers, like a check box for each equipment item. But after a second thought I don't think I would use it much because of scarcity of items and constant lack of many.

What means AO? When you defend a communication relay, it's right like describe OP, I find those missions rather difficult if I bother save all rebels not just save the relay and kill all aliens. I don't think noise will be enough to attract them to the squad because they have probably a priority tar...

Thanks Lord for the clarification about my miss reading of Steeve post. So most often I quote two before they morph, but 3 never yet, and 1 was pretty rare.

Among the let's play i watched one is using a ton of SMG, but he is also using many significant mods so I didn't bother look closer any special choices like that. For sure this thread is a bit a chock because it's really out of my intuition to pick a short range weak weapon even for a significant sp...

Number of enemies definitely change a lot the play of a mission, at least with my play style. This influences: - pods size, - how much a map is filled then increased possibilities to get 2 pods at same time or have two pods close by coming the turn after and no need use any AOE - Limited resources u...

A third case is related to enemies seen from a soldier in conceal mode, an a soldier not in conceal mode. The path and destination don't show any enemy sighted, I'm almost sure I see all enemies with the soldier in conceal mode, and the movement of the soldier not in conceal mode alert the pod. I c...

And I confirm I had multiple times patrols of 3 faceless, the team never been out of conceal. I doubt the rules that all visible faceless at start are all faceless in Haven and removed. Moreover I didn't change that often Haven leaders setup because the choices wasn't based on Faceless hunting but o...

What's not cool in those missions is that you can't check a rebel level/skills before to have control rescue him. So in cases you have to prioritize rescues it's done blindly.

"Over time, the ADVENT and Alien ground forces will gain increases in combat effectiveness, as denoted by additional perks and equipment. Each upgrade applies to a limited set of enemy types, and only a certain RANDOM PERCENTAGE of enemies will actually have the upgrade." As 33 is static ...

Gee I get a lot of Faceless full patrols (3) so I have ton of Faceless in my Havens? Are you sure this point is still valid?

The only thing I found was about detection range and infiltration level, and I'm tempted to force enemies detection range the same as soldiers because it's how the game is designed, it shows only detection by soldier. But frankly this setup is complicated and I gave up dig it. So instead I'll stick ...

Woo even come from engine API? Weird because it's a major bug. Sigh unreal engine is really amateurish stuff, imagine this in any OS API, or open source API, woo.

Smoke with a close range coming in it is such a boredom that it pushed me just forget use any single one. But it seems I should try them again and more, perticularly that there's smoke bombs. I also never quoted that AoE was dragging pods around faster than shots, looks like I should put care to it....

If anything the most frustrating part about XCOM is its super over reliance on RNG. The amount of RNG in this game is beyond dumb. Just about anything you do in the game has an RNG roll to it. Hell I'm surprised that the Geoscape navigation isn't an RNG roll to take you to a random place when you w...

Hi, I just finished my Legend run. I had to reload maybe 5 missions taht have would been a total wipe, reloaded 15ish for big mistake. I use "2 perks" mod and "All soldier gain level". It means that the gaim is easier. However, I had been able to build WAR suit at the very end o...

0% Infiltration is never something I do except when I want try for the fun. I did very low infiltration only twice, and getting very high or even highest enemy activity. So it's not much per experience that I'm answering, ha ha. Moreover for now I always "lost" those missions and at best I...

I finally get a retaliation mission, Haven Defense. Region level 6 with a neighbor level 7 that was level 10-8 during a long time, perhaps even 11 I'm not sure. Frankly it's very bizarre that I hadn't any of those missions during so many months. One point is Avatar project slowdown, it was definitel...

Thanks for the clarification, ok I hadn't realize it was coming from xcom2 core game because I hadn't noticed those problems during my 3 campaigns with no mods. But I saw the gremlin one you mentioned. For the rebels case as I wrote it's probable more because of the tall enemies bug because there's ...

I have many problems with detection not shown. The most obvious cases is related to concealment. I see all enemies, there's no possible concealment break along the moving path and destination, or they aren't shown. And the movement breaks the concealment. It seems all or most cases are related to en...

In the list of soldiers, sorts are wrong. I started notice with sort by name, but now I have it with all sorts but perhaps not state and level. I'll take an example of sort by class: 7 "Agent Psi", 1 "Artificier", 2 "Agent Psi", 5 "Artificier", 2 "Command...

I don't think you NEED to rush anything, but you CAN rush something if you want to. You do have to keep up with escalating Advent HP/armor/alien progression though, or you will get stomped later in the game. As LW2 Easy is somehow a bit more easy than XCOM2 Veteran, I was expecting LW2 was a bit mo...

I think the point is more to replace the secondary weapon of a class by the pistol or none, not that all class can use all secondary weapons.
