Not sure if that's sarcasm or not :lol: In case not, no they don't stack. Not sarcasm. And I'd been assuming it didn't stack. :) In my defense, I had to go pick up my wife's ashes this morning. I was very, very drunk (to quote Abe Dumbledore -- bonus points for anyone who recognizes where the quote...

The 'solution' is to put more rebels on intel, or recruit until you have the rebels to put on intel. If your putting 4 rebels on intel and expecting decent timers your dreaming unicorns and rainbows. Except maybe for troop columns, but they are easy to detect on purpose. How about A) If you have at...

Wait.

WAIT.

Flashbang STACKS?!?!

....Wow have I been passing up opportunities....

I use a shinobi to open the door with ghostwalker, then wait for a window to move my specialist into the truck. LOS any pods and throw the evac out the back then close the door. Wait for the evac timer, hack the terminal and move to evac out. Only RNG part is everything is on yellow alert when you ...

Any skilled legend player will always be able to break the game on Veteran. NO! I am shocked, _SHOCKED_ to find that a player who can beat the game on a difficulty not really meant to be beaten (assuming the same design principles as LW1, anyway) can break the game when playing a difficulty two lev...

This may be a vanilla bug, I honestly don't recall (I actually don't recall having any psi ops with Solace in vanilla), but if I have a psi op with Solace on a mission, anytime I tell a unit to move there's a 1.5-2s delay before they do. My first guess (from my two decades of experience as a develop...

In time they will. The mod is new and still being balanced in many ways. The upcoming patch is looking to include a new mission called Smash and Grab. There's a preview available from xwynns one of the quality assurance testers. Available here . Also there are upcoming changes to the way these miss...

At least, I'm pretty sure it's a bug, anyway. Twice now I've had my CCS Assault attack one of my own people. I'm fairly sure that it has to do with being panicked; the second time I know the assault was panicked, and I'm pretty sure that the first time he was as well. Needless to say, with the kind ...

I mean the messages that appear on the left corner such us "Mike Johnson has healed" or "Rebel is hired to Europe". In my case I feel as if they last half microsecond, three of them appear, I begin to read the first and then all dissapear... I add that I don't know how to mod at...

#1 shouldn't be happening; we've 1) made it so all POIs can occur again and 2) replace with some supplies if there's no POI. Not sure how much of our fixes are in 1.2, though. In my previous campaign, I got no POIs between (roughly, as best I can remember) the time I completed Lost Towers and the t...

"Well, there's ya problem."

The game is known to be buggy. I have no idea why anyone would even consider playing Ironman given that fact.

Well, having no way into the server room for anyone who can't teleport _would_ be a good security measure, I guess.

Long War 2 attempts to change the template of the Shredstorm Cannon, but fails. It's the same width as the Shred Gun, but with a lot more range, resulting in a weapon capable of taking out pods beyond visual range. Ah, so it's got a longer range than the gun does despite both showing the same range...

The hitting unactivated pod thing seems very overpowered. It's like having your saturation fire stealth opening repeatedly. As far as I can tell, the shredder gun and cannon have the same range and area... am I missing something? Long War 2 attempts to change the template of the Shredstorm Cannon, ...

IOW, the first three soldiers don't have _increasing_ infiltration times, it's just that taking the extra two soldiers doesn't cost you that much, such that usually you can still hit your goal for the infiltration (100%, 200%, whatever you're aiming for) with a 5 soldier squad. A bigger squad won't...

I don't have anywhere near the Long War 2 experience of many others around here, but I'd like to at least seed this idea I've developed after a considerable amount of my own play time as well as watching Xavier's series. I'm curious about what more experienced players think of this. Maybe part of t...

I've never used the axe, as the stats didn't look good enough to take.

Yeah...you can throw the axe as a free action....that's like the best thing about it. ....ah. That would fall in the 'other advantage' category. How far can you throw it? I've always been able to throw it to any target I can shoot. ....wow. Holy shit. Okay, yeah, that's a _huge_ 'other advantage' t...

Thanks a lot for answer. I thought that it worked on fixed steps, I thought that an 100% Extremely light was the same as a 124% extremely light. So (correct me if I am wrong) a longer infiltration time can decrease alien numbers instead the description of alert was the same, for example the E-L 100...

For me, in the late game Supplies isn't an issue, E. Cores and especially Archon corpses are much rarer. Also, the free action range attack of the axe can be big on a clutch turn. Free action range?

Free action range?

This is not really how activity works. The infiltration pct has 12 steps leading up to 100% and 3 steps after. The first 12 steps are every 8.333% and the last 3 steps are at 125/150/200. Each of these steps reduces alien presence by 1.5(+/- 0.5) aliens. For example a 0% mission will often contain ...

Simply put, 5-6 man squads simply don't have the 'squad budget' to factor in both offensive power and control. These are the two elements that matter most in this game. Either kill the ayys, or control them. Anything uncontrolled and alive at full health is a massive liability. Small squads simply ...

I did the math; unless I missed something (and assuming that average damage is indeed the arithmetic mean of the range), then assuming an enemy with a defense of 0 a Fusion Axe does somewhere between .17 (for a Squaddie Shinobi) and .37 (for a Msgt Shinobi) points of damage per attack more than a Fu...
