Re: is there a way to change name of a class

Hmm, indeed. I have the same issue - the color resets and the text is not changed. Restoring the class name, restores the color. So probably yes, the change in text will work with new campaign [updated, check edit :)]. But with proper color - cause I play in Polish and have different class names but...

Re: is there a way to change name of a class

I can see your point :) And Dragoon or Cavalry is a nice idea. I assume you play in English. You must edit (with Notepad for example) the entry in the file XComStrategyGame.int. The file is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\ XEW \XComGame\Localization\INT Th...

Re: EXALT aim is too high?

If close to 2017 you are still with only Carapace, then you are waaay behind. I cannot imagine how you got so far with so poor armor :) You must play very well tactics, but without solid strategy level you are going to lose this campaign.

Re: Proposal for making Mec 4,5 suits Useful

It's no secret that these suits haven't received much love in the last few iterations of LW and it's easy to see why. Jetboot module is just too good not to have- to the point it really becomes a necessity on most missions. Body-shield for the most-part is quite a useless perk. (...) The option to ...

Re: Is THIS normal ingame?

So you must have modified ini too much :). Check, there should be LOW_COVER_BONUS=30 in DefaultGameCore.ini

You need to Restore the original Long War's DefaultGameCore.ini or better reinstall the mod.

Re: Is THIS normal ingame?

I understand you ask about 60 defense, right? The Muton must have hunkered down. That doubled his defense in Low Cover (from 30 up to 60). And that is normal even in vanilla :) Use it to your advantage, you can do the same. But Mutons will grenade you then (most probably) :))

Re: how to make squad size upgrade also take effect on covert extraction mission

There is no way :) Neither OTS nor We are legion will help. Tweaking ini is no option either. As description says - there are only 4 places in the Skyranger, because additional fuel is required and you can do nothing against it. Extraction should be 'extration' - quickly get the job done with your a...

Re: Double Tap often breaks (mostly on gunners)

You are right about the tactic with covers. Good point. My lack of imagination here - probably because I mostly use scouts to take off overwatch fire :) If that's by design, I guess it would be wrong to call DT 'broken', but then the perk description is incorrect for not listing this exception. I fo...

Re: Double Tap often breaks (mostly on gunners)

A word of explanation: if you get a kill with the first shot of a double and there are no more aliens in range of the soldier: who would you like to shoot at??? Obviously the turn ends after this first shot! This is no bug but a logical consequence. That is the case in your save. I loaded your save ...

The other commenter said something similar - it sticks in your head... You guys must play the game so often that everything is fresh in your memory.

i know, I'm just frustrated at the design flaws of the game. If the available item value doesn't include equipped items, I call that a bug. And if I'm unable to easily unequip everything from everyone at any time in the HQ, that's just a basic omission by the developers. It's stupid. Hmm, I don't g...

If you cannot see panic levels in Situation Room or launch sats then you LW installation must be broken. Re-install. Many people report issues when your steam library is on drive other than C also.

Well, you missed something :) All equipment is automatically unequipped after mission! As soon as soldiers get fatigued and they always do - their stuff is unequipped. BUT - the stuff is automatically re-equipped as soon as a soldier leaves hospital or fatigue expires. And that might be a problem. M...
