Re: Advice

just had a reinforcement ship fly in open its doors .. no one jumped out.. is this normal or a bug? Definitely a bug but it might just be a visual one as i've seen this occur and the reinforcements still dropped. That was kind of what i thought, but they never showed.. and then reinforcements came ...

Re: Advice

Okay, so, i'm trying a new twist: my second haven is still at Advent Level 2 so i'm going ot try liberating it instead of my first one. My idea is that I shouldn't do any missions except the one that will get me the first liberation mission so, i just ignored an easy light/8day mission to rescue a ...

Drones starting fires

I don't remember this happening before, but my technical soldier just shot down a drone and it caused a fire that caused an advent soldier to catch fire. which was useful as my soldier left the bastard with one hp so he died on his turn

Re: Advice

Red Fog definitely changes how you play. As for making the game easier? Well, probably a tiny little bit ;) It will often help you control the least dangerous opponents but on other times you'll have to choose between taking a low % shot (because of red fog) or spend some actions healing your guys ...

Re: Haven/Advent Retal Question

at level 4, any combination of 5 rebels (or the faceless equivalent) working on any three tasks may trigger a Full Retaliation, but you will have the option of preventing it You'll have the option of preventing it IF you detect the preliminary activity. Roger that. One more thing: If you can't resp...

Re: Haven/Advent Retal Question

Yes, Alert Level is how it's called in the code, and (unfortunately) that terminology made it to UFOpedia because a lot of the information found there have been learned by searching the config files of the game and sometimes the code itsel...

Haven/Advent Retal Question

Is there a "safe" number of rebels you can use that will not trigger advent increasing in the region or retaliating? and, is this number cumulative or individual? For instance.. is it under 6 for any one, so: six intel is okay, but seven starts trouble or is it a combination of intel and s...

You might also try this mod for tactical suppressors: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=844955101 If you are still concealed, it lets you choose a specific target for your overwatch.

Re: Overwatch with Heavy Weapon/2nd weapon

There's also "Overwatch Ignores Concealment" which reverts overwatch to the original way it was in XCom2, so that you can have your entire squad fire from overwatch during concealment, then get your turn after the scamper. It does make the game a lot easier though, so might need to turn u...

Re: Advice

HQ Assaults are good for teaching you how to kill a lot of enemies without blowing all your consumables early. You're virtually never going to see less than 30 enemies. You may see 50 enemies. But you have quite a few guys and all the time in the world to take enemies out with. As far as infiltrati...
