That mechanic doesn't exist in LW2 - the Black Market operates entirely on Supplies (not Intel) and doesn't have research rush options. If you're seeing it, another mod is likely messing with your Black Market.

I put SMGs on every soldier who isn't primarily a shooter, which typically means Grenadiers, Shinobi, and Technical. The +3 mobility bonus is huge.

So it's YOUR fault all my rookies died last night.....

Inemuri, your willingness to try new strategies first instead of immediately modding that aspect of the game out warms my heart. Truly.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes! One last tip - officers start with an ability that lets you spend a little bit of Intel to extend a timer.

Re: Speed.

You can give soldiers with low base mobility less utility items to increase their mobility. Some people are just too slow to carry lots of stuff into battle.

I give SMGs to all my Technicals and Shinobi (and usually Grenadiers). That's a whopping +3 mobility. Gotta go fast!

The rubberband thing where pods beeline to you even if you're concealed if you cross the line between them and the objective is also gone in LW2. I think.

Huh. How much Intel are you getting from a typical mission? Should be about 30. Any rebel recruited can be a Faceless, so if your Haven is clean and doesn't grow you know it's safe. The Recruit job doesn't actually require you to buy rebels, it just gets them for you over time. You only have to buy ...

Are you sure rushing research isn't from a different mod? That's not a mechanic in LW2... Not that I know of, anyway. LW2 market should deal all in supplies.

Sometimes they will, sometimes they won't. ADVENT drops where they think they can do the most damage.

Any mission that says "Find a Lead" as an objective might be the first mission in a chain of missions which will end with you Liberating a region from ADVENT control. Each of these missions has to be detected separately (if you fail to detect Lib 2 in a region, for example, it'll keep spaw...

Every class in LW2 has a completely different ability tree. :) You can turn on the option "view locked perks" to take a look at the ability trees. That said, if you literally have 2 classes called "Ranger" you might have a bug. Do you have 2 classes called "Ranger" in y...

It's the first one - he just offsets his own chance. I wouldn't use Hiding much in the early game - more like when Advent Strength gets up near 9 or 10 and you're getting hammered by retals.

Burning is basically a stun that does damage. It's great. Disorient applies -25 aim, mobility penalty, and locks out most abilities that aren't shoot or OW. Poison doesn't last as long any more (I don't think) and applies a small penalty to aim (don't remember how much). Frost Bomb freeze doesn't la...

In general it's balanced such that you probably don't need to minmax all that much (there aren't really invisible breakpoints other than the fact that 1 and 2 man squads get slightly less XP overall to prevent crazy exploitative powerleveling- blame Xwynns and JoINrbs for that ;) ). The jist of it i...

I usually wait to put people on Supply until I've Liberated my first region. In general in LW2, the Intel job for rebels will be most overall effective for you as long as you have enough squads to do the missions you're detecting (and can succeed in them). Supply and Recruit jobs are for when you ha...

Bodies should drop from Gatecrasher, yes.

Here's a list of troubleshooting steps if you're having issues: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 17&t=23385

What is your modlist?

That's a good observation - as a guerrilla resistance, it's often not in XCOM's favor to try and fight all the enemies on the map. Because enemies in LW2 patrol on their own patrol paths (instead of knowing exactly where XCOM is and rubberbanding towards them right when XCOM crosses their path as in...

Yeah - unlike most of the mods people use, this one actually would make LW2 much, much harder. xD


Probably not recommended. You'll get just as much roster juggling from Infiltration.

I can tell you that I am a Veteran / Commander LW2 player, and I have found that after I've gotten used to moving reasonably fast (aka be double moving every turn until you break concealment) I haven't found the timers to be an issue. Picking up the GTS ability that gives you more mobility at the st...

One thing you might try after troubleshooting steps to confirm is clicking in the mission icons on the tray at the bottom of the geoscape. Those can be a wee bit more reliable than the ones on the actual globe sometimes.

Yup - this is related to the same big and should be fixed in the 1.1 patch.

Hey, I had that bug too! If you remove him from the squad via the squad management interface he should go away and not come back (unless you rescue him). I believe it's related to having a soldier captured while they're on a mission in a temporary squad different from their permanent squad. Should b...

Yeah, that's a tricky one as it's been around for a while and I don't know that a specific cause has been nailed down.

What other UI mods are you using?

Cooy/paste incoming: The reflex system (taking shots at you) is a fun new feature which combines with the pod job system. Essentially, enemy pods exist in one of three states - green (inactive and unaware), yellow (inactive but aware), and red (active). Pods have a chance to take an additional actio...
