#2 is faceless missions are GOOD for you. Not only do they combat the curse of the faceless thieves, but the mission itself rewards you corpses and loot and is pretty darn easy even as time goes on. Combat curse + gain loot? Why the hell not. Just for folks who haven't experienced it, in my "f...

IIRC Will to Survive grants a bit of Will along with the ability... and Combatives (Gunner knife perk) gives a bit of Dodge. Those are the only stat bonus perks I recall.

Besides Combat Fitness ofc which gives you a bit of every stat.

Hey now - that was me, not JoINrbs.

Ah - looks like this is base-game functionality that was removed from all difficulties in LW2 besides Rookie. Sorry, it's been a really long time since I played Vanilla. It IS supposed to cost Supplies in LW2 though. Hrm... are y'all that're seeing this playing on Rookie? If so, only 1 bug here. If ...

Sorry, I meant losses of supplies at the end of the month. Rebels won't die.. without you knowing about it and having a chance to stop it, at least.

Advent strength directly influences the "Alien Activity" level on missions (aka the number and difficulty of enemies). Basically, the higher that is, the harder it is to do missions there. You are also more likely to be attacked.

Once I liberate a region and Recruit up to 13 rebels I generally station an engineer. If I see losses, put a soldier there for a month and repeat. Scientist advisers are for your super active regions where you're looking for liberation missions (which are very hard to find) or just lots of regular m...

LW2's version: Free action green 1 action doesn't end turn white 1 action ends turn blue/cyan 2 actions ends turn yellow Objective gold/orange It's a bit more muted than the ability colors mod. Personal preferences as to which you want to use, though the ability colors mod could cause bugs from conf...

I have looked myself and it isn't in my game, unless it's cleverly hidden.

Can you post a screenshot showing where the button is?

No, this will never, ever get fixed. Wouldn't changing the name make sense then? If i understand correctly it's an issue with the engine thinking "center" is a keyword to center the text. If so another name would solve the issue. Or just use proper English - "centre" (technicall...

Did that soldier by any chance have negative dodge? IIRC a soldier with negative dodge in LW2 can roll to "dodge the wrong way" (which does basically the same thing as a crit, upgrades result) so you could have a graze rolled and then both a negative dodge and a crit. Or it could be a bug,...

3, More Love for Spark? Did you see the 5 ablative armor, increased aim growth, and SPARK rifle damage, aim, and ammo buffs? :) Wow, the fabled patch again - looks great! However: - Strip gear buttons in UILoadout will not strip units in the current squad. So I did never use the squad feature till ...

Completing a supply raid or troop column will destroy 1 global legion, yes. Liberating a region also destroys quite a few legions.

Yes, but workshop also provides 1 power (instead of costing power).

Labs give you slots to staff scientists to make research even faster than it is with the scientist alone.

Aaaand another faceless related question: If I kill a faceless on a retaliation mission, is that the same faceless thats stealing ma moneyz? Is killing faceless on retaliations an alternative avenue of getting rid of them? If yes i killed yet another on my home region! This would make 3 in 2.5 mont...

I've seen Rocketeers shoot....

You don't want to.

I was playing LW 2 and had some questions about mechanics. 1. Do haven Advisors give a static bonus to the respective area, or only increase the effectiveness of other recruits. IE does an engineer assigned just grant extra supply even if no supply missions assigned. 2. Are the spy's that steal mon...

I agree with shockmaster on true concealment, it lets you camp until the ayys move away. Maybe timers should tick down slower in concealment but definitely not that much slower. That would be kinda fascinating - a True Concealment-lite that made timers tick down 1 per turn while concealed but 2 per...

Assaults: Best in the game at "I need this specific thing to die RIGHT NOW" due to the "run n gun" and "rapid fire" and "I have a shotgun" combo. If you're still using Kevlar by the time you have Mag, I might recommend researching better armor though. Arc thro...

He would probably LOVE the free Officer perk "Commisar" in XCOM 2 then.

Items in LW2 have weight, so you're going to have some seriously slow soldiers unless you also mod out the weight penalty for utility items.

Infiltrators in the current build steal a set number of supplies per day they're in the Haven. This is changing to a % in patch 1.1. Should help with those issues where they steal literally all of your supplies when you only have a few rebels on supply - though the flipside is that they'll actually ...

LW2 incorporates its own version of Cost Based Ability Colors, just FYI. Not sure what combining them would do.

Yeah I had that the other day. Poor, poor Gunner.

Progress should not be lost when you switch someone out, but you are also not making any progress when there's no soldier there... if that makes sense.
