Can you guys note what difficulty level you were on, and whether or not you had a DE up that increased reinforcement speeds?

I was doing it on Commander, and one of the several DE's that were applying to my squad, was rapid reinforcements. The setup people are recommending would not work when you constantly have pods dropping in on your snipers position.

Enraged berserkers are not going after the nearest living thing. They seem to be targeting only xcom personel, no matter how far away they are.

The one that really sucks, is the faster reinforcements. As if it were not fast enough already! Permanent.

I have gotten no missions so far that set back DE's. Should I?
Also, i currently have 3 active DE's. Should that happen? I thought they were only for limited time?

Don't you have to break glass to get past the first room? how do you maintain stealth?

I totally cannot see any option to build a tower anywhere. I have flown all over the place, accessed haven management screen in every way i know how, and never seen anything allowing me to build a relay. Is there some requirement beyond the research i have done on the network?? Could someone post a ...

Can we talk skills?

What builds are people using on a 2 or 3 sniper set up?

Commander difficulty, half of squad has lasers, no upgraded armor, 3rd skill level, one officer. How the hell can you do this with no casualties? There were 20 regular troops, with multiple serpents, mutons, sectoids, rocketeers, lancers, etc, ....but then even before I had reached the final bridge,...

I just don't remember the stunlancers actually doing anything in vanilla...certainly not unconsciousness.

Everyone set to intel yes, but have no idea which missions counter DE's...but even if it were a DE, .....TEN faceless???

There are trap missions???

Commander difficulty. First few weeks. Kill/capture vip mission. 112% infil, extremely light. There are the expected 13 aliens, distributed in 4 pods, fine. But there are also 6 (so far) faceless randomly popping up. Also, in spite of watching youtube casters playing legend, making 40% shots all the...

Whoa...i just encountered a map that was so big, with the objectives so far away (winter fortress or something?), that even with THREE added turns, i could not get to objective on time. I do not like the accumulated design decisions that are leading us so far away from big battles, while simultaneou...

I don't want that to happen to me. Give more details if you can.

Glass cutter would be awesome. Probably not modable though. Take one inventory slot, but cost no actions.

Trying to decipher what the weights mean in toolbox. Any clues? Or maybe i will just adjust these caps a bit....hmm..

New game in 1.1, there are 7 rookies in my roster with aim below 60! argh! Anyone tried fiddling with this? Is this all in toolbox? I know there are stat swapping mechanisms in NCE, so that theoretically there should be some balance for bad aim, but imo a good offense is far, far better than a good ...

This is a bug though, right?

I just changed the default timers to add 2 turns to timer. It is still challenging.

If you used grenades/rockets, the noise can pull them in. Apparently they can hear stuff. You can use this to decoy them to other areas of map.

I haven't gotten this far, but that is a serious bummer. Maybe this event shouldn't start on day one?

I think there should be some way, through missions or research or preferably both, to insure that you can exterminate faceless from your havens. I mean, it's a cool mechanic as it is, but after the resistance has seen the faceless appear among them a couple times, can't they come up with a blood tes...

Thank you, Garthor. So then clearly, if i am still only on my starting area, there is no reason to try to get advents attention.

Also, if anyone can answer that, maybe you can answer me about the missions where it says in description that we will be "getting the attention of advent". Why would i ever go on such a mission?? I don't want advents' attention, do i? Another question: Under what file is the settings for r...

Why are both rewards listed on a single mission? what is an "intel package"?
