I believe there is a Doom counter that is activated after you've completed the objective or spent too many turns on a map. After a certain point reinforcements start showing up every turn. It's supposed to encourage you to play guerrilla style: get in, get it done, get out.

Thanks cryptc, but I use Stop Wasting My Time already, and this is a geoscape / Avenger issue. Was that the link you meant to send? Cos if I can get her to be silent it would literally make my week.

All I want is for that woman to stop nagging me. I've been married several times and have a PTSD level aversion to being nagged. I don't like Lily Shen to begin with. The tone of her voice puts me off. To have her routinely, endlessly nagging me about things that I either can't do anything about or ...

I've cleared out all of the compartments and now have a number of unstaffed engineers. I currently don't have the money to build anything. As a result every 2nd or 3rd time that I exit the geoscape Lily Shen is nagging me about her engineers. It's gotten to the point where I want to stuff her in a c...

I definitely have the DLC active. But during my last campaign I finished the game without ever seeing the Nest or a Ruler. I simply never got those missions. I DID get the weapons. They showed up very early. But that was it. No Rulers. No nifty armor. Just the axe, the pistol, and the wookie bowcast...

Thank you.

- I have the DLC installed and have already collected the weapons. Is that what you mean by "activating the story content"?
- Intel Package: so I have to do the research projects? Aah, that may be the missing component.

Hey folks, So I've played pretty far into the game. I've gotten power armor and have quite a collection of gauss weapons. I've made contact with every region on the map and gained all the continent bonuses. I do have the alien hunter weapons but I've yet to see a single mission as a result of the DL...

Reading the comments in this thread it is apparent to me that I am now and will likely forever be a sideliner. The amount of strategy and thought in this thread alone has humbled me.

Thanks for the perspective, Thrair. I love my bladenobis. I did notice that Reaper got moved up on the tree as well. I'll have to start color coding the different builds. White and red for medic specialists, that kind of thing. Full action on hit and run sounds amazing. And as soon as I get a psi la...

I just upgraded from 1.2 to 1.4 and have been looking through many of the changes made to the various skill trees. All I have to say is: OUCH! Holy crap! Talk about some hard choices! Walk Fire vs Ever Vigilant! Low Profile vs Bladestorm! Sentinel vs Revival Protocol! Those are brutal decisions to m...

Thank you.

The title pretty much says it all. My soldiers are all scrambled. Is there a way to fix them? Or at least sort them out? I've put an ungodly amount of time into this campaign and I'd like all the bugfixes in patches 3 and 4, but if I have to roll back to finish the campaign I suppose that's what I'l...

...Brad saying "It's a trap, get out of there!" That would be perfect. It would at least put the madness in context. The worst part of that mission was not realizing what I was up against. I kept expecting the reinforcements to stop. Instead they just kept getting stronger. Right up until...

Thank you.

So it's deliberate.

I'm not a fan. I mean I love most of the changes LW makes to the XCOM games but every once in a while I really do get frustrated.

- Data Retrieval from train - after contact I faced reinforcements EVERY. SINGLE. TURN. What the ****?!!! I was literally overrun. Lost my whole squad. There was no way to win. None. There were too many enemies. They were too strong. I simply could not defend against them or kill them fast enough. S...

Thanks.

There are missions where I can destroy Advent monuments to attract attention. Is there an advantage to attracting Advent attention to a region?

Food for thought and good insight.

Thanks.

Any suggestions for how to use a snap shot sniper effectively? Cos I'm currently horrified.

Since taking the snap shot perk for my sniper every shot is a "snap shot" regardless of whether it's the first action of the turn or not. This incurs massive aiming penalties. Is this normal?

Thanks. That helps a lot.

Thanks. I've been looking for posts on the topic but it seems my google-fu is weak. But it's that simple? Lead followed by liberate missions?

Hey all,

so I've managed to liberate my starting region but have no idea how to duplicate that success in other areas. Can anyone explain the mechanic to me or direct me to an existing explanation?

Thanks

No I built one in engineering and then immediately checked my soldiers and the G Mk2 was not showing up in the loadout screen.

Hey all, so I'm not sure if my Gremlins are upgrading. I make higher tier Gremlins in engineering but they don't show up as options in the loadout screen. Or... they did, but now they don't. I have 3 Gremlin Mk II's in my inventory but they don't show up when I try to equip them. Has anyone run into...
