In Supply Raids, the objective is to kill everything. Engaging in combat is high reward and medium risk, and the more combat you do, the more rewards you get (since more corpses). Result: you get players deliberately fighting as many enemies as possible. What if on supply raids, a larger squad led ...

by MSGT, I think you mean.

So, xwynns has been killing the rescue missions by just bringing a Shinobi Officer/Leader to invoke Oscar Mike into Command to give the escapee 3 super-powered blue moves in a single turn. I'm sure PI is already on this, but just some quick ideas on how to balance this: Oscar Mike ends turn Oscar Mi...

IIRC, in later versions of LW(1), there were shortcut keys baked in for different speeds... [ ] and \ perhaps?

Wouldn't mind seeing those make a comeback! (Or I added them myself. Either way, would be nice to have a few options!)

Can anyone explain this: what is the -10% "To Hit" Crit penalty in OP's screenshot? Its a math cludge. ... With the 99% hit rate and a 10% graze band 80% of the 89% shots that fully hit will be a crit =.712%, 1% of crits will be dodged. = .70488. So the 80% crit rate needs to be moved dow...

+5 Power is pretty poor compared to the others, at least IMO.

To me, the biggest advantage grenades have over rockets is the noise rockets make. Slightly off-topic, but does the UI (or a manual somewhere) give information on noise levels generated by different activities/items? Here: http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Sounds_%28LW2%29 Awesome, thanks for the ...

The Tactical Research only affects a small percentage, usually around 20%, of a specific species or two. Like Stun Lancers or Sectoids or Vipers and their ilk. The only real exceptions are in the Alien Conditioning health-boosting ones, which are significantly more prevalent and applies to every AD...

Indeed, the superior range of Rockets is a very nice factor. Curious to see how many players prefer Grenadiers for cover destruction and why! Obviously grenades give you more precise placement (than do Rockets), but cover destruction with grenades is near-impossible before Sapper and can still be ve...

But it also means you get that 'hostiles in sight' noise whenever you switch to a soldier that can see an explosive, or if they can't see one and then move into a position where they can. I tried it out (it's a very simple .ini config switch you can do in vanilla, even) and turned it off because it...

Would this simple change make everyone happy? > Tactical Dark Events may only spawn on your starting continent. Keep the TDE frequency as is, and make sure the missions to counter them are difficult to infiltrate/complete. Then the player can probably counter any single particular TDE they don't wan...

Same would be very nice for alien force levels, e.g. "Extremely Light" -> "Extremely Light (7-9)".

Why not just make all explodables targetable all the time?

Put them all at the end of the target queue to make it less annoying.

Just FYI for anyone who hasn't looked into this, here's the Commander's Choice mod on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=688405905 It works fine (you can change the class of any Squaddie), but unfortunately, Long War 2 Compatability -Not Created Equal and Hidden Potential ...

That is, just put in the number of turns the mission will last right into the objective text, so it can be easily referenced during squad loadout.

That's all! Simple in concept but perhaps not in execution, I realize!
