ADVENT Strength is not important for this purpose, just Force Level - faceles have a minimum FL of I believe 3, which because Rendezvous missions use I believe FL/2 - 2 to determine which enemies appear on them means that starting at around 4 months in-game they can appear as regular enemies, in ad...

to clarify... this was a haven with 5 soliders and advent of st of THREE. It wasn't liberated. I had four soldiers on recruit and i in hiding so i wouldn't get any retaliations as the recruitment did it's thing slowly the soldier level was weak, but i faced three faceless (see what I did there? :D )...

So, I have six havens... one liberated, one stacked with 13 advent and one i'm trying to liberate... all the others I have just established... i just had a faceless (catch the spy) mission in a haven i wasn't even doing intel in.... I heard faceless groaning from turn one... it was one walking with ...

Just to be clear, the Mod linked to does NOT fix the bug. It just allows you to avoid unintentionally "cheating" by stacking additional PCS chips onto soliders that have been affected by the bug, essentially doubling the bonus. I believe the bug that actually causes the PCS chips to disap...

thanks Zenteck!

ahhhhh, so it's good in some cases... like Defense and Aim... but sucks for stuff like damage control, huh? And thanks for the answer!

Okay, i'm a little confused (again)

I swear I've given soldiers psc skills ... like +8 defense or +4 aim and now the pcs has vanished but the upgrade still remains... am i crazy ... errrrr, crazier???

It depends a lot on how many soldiers you have (can you run missions in new regions in addition to infiltrating a large squad on that HQ)? Do you have several good snipers (they can be really great on HQs)? How confident are you that you can take that HQ without too much damage? You must contact ne...

Intel job in liberated missions is only useful to provide actual Intel and detect an incoming invasion. Unfortunately the incoming invasion might actually never happen and those rebels on Intel are not gathering supplies so you're actually not gathering supplies to maintain your ability to gather s...

You did the HQ Assault with only 7 guys? Or did you forget one or two of them? Learning to play missions methodically is a big deal for defeating the big no-timer missions as you learned. It's hard to avoid getting one or two wounds, but you can usually avoid taking any more than that if you avoid ...

HUZZAH!! i liberated my first haven... i actually took out a troop column and bumped my infiltration 3 hours before another advent column that I couldn't stop was about to push into my haven. It was only Extremely Heavy.... I slowly made my way through... no causalities... only two minor wounded. I ...

Hey, first it's not my page in any way, it's Pavonis' forum :) I'm just a normal user that happens to have a large number of not always useful posts on his posts counter ;) I have no official role on those boards. Concerning that remark on multiple posts. Sorry i didn't want to police your behavior...

It will probably not help you to ask the same question in an existing thread and open a new. If you already asked in one place and then realize you'd like to make it a new thread, if nobody have answered your first post you can delete it. With the same question asked in various places you'll get an...

Looking over your screenshots again (first answer was on mobile and on the road, bad time to answer) it seems like you didn't really change the sorting to be reversed by rank? Look at the arrow at the top left by the "Rank" word, it's pointing same direction on both cases, meaning you did...

not complaining, btw, because i am SO appreciative of all the help you guys are willing to offer, but no commented on how the rank parsing changes when you sort from top to bottom instead of opposite to top: i should just be the opposite order, but it isn't that doesn't make sense to me... please tr...

thanks for the input guys... just to be clear though... there is no way to see their rank : Squaddie > Lance Corporal > Corporal > Sergeant > Staff Sergeant > Tech Sergeant > Gunnery Sergeant > Master Sergeant once it is covered up by their officer rank not complaining, btw, because i am SO appreci...

what is higher, corporal or 1st Lieutenant ??

I have asked vague questions before, but mainly they were vague because I wasn't sure enough to ask specific questions.. I want to have the highest ranking officers available in my havens as advisers when I make my SSGT a officer, he's just 2nd Lieutenant or whatever the ranking changes does that ma...

I think personally that it's a good idea to have an officer as a haven adviser, but only because you get command, and the other officer abilities for the faceless missions, and retaliations. With only the one soldier and some rebels those officer abilities can be really handy. . DUH.... i can't bel...

I don't think you are screwing up, but there are some things to think about. First off, officer abilities only work for 1 officer per squad/mission. If you take more than 1 officer on a mission only the highest ranking officer will have their officer abilities, any other officers have their officer...

But that's another story. so, am i screwing up making my soldiers officers... i STILL don't quite get the ranking system and whether or not the Sergeant is more important than the 2nd Lieutenant etc.. Am I messing up, ranking up all my SSGT's? Also, also, i'm about to go on my second radio tower (t...

ahhh, thanks for the info, guys.

I searched the faq and this forum and the strategy forum, but i really find any info

let's say i have a shinobi and i just picked up to cyber implants +7 dodge or +7 defense..

what's the differences/benefits

Okay, man. Well, if there's nothing I can do, i'll just pretend they took a look at my soldiers, all fully re-loaded and in a triangulated ambush on four rooftops on overwatch and thought better of getting out... LOL
