Is ModifyEarnedSoldierAbilities a console command? How is it used?

If you set the grenades in the config files to zero weight it would remove the weight penalty. But that would include all grenades, including the ones in your inventory. But it is a bug that those perks work that way (they aren't supposed to add the weight.) It will be fixed next patch form my under...

And where is that combatives code set? Is it possible to combine 2 perks like that into 1 using the config files?

I have never liked the mobility penalty either, and I always mod that option out. It doesn't feel like it is given you hard strategic choices. It just feels like it is punishing you for everything. Especially with the assault. The assault I found useless if he was carrying anything as he could not f...

I agree with what was just said. Have the infiltration time available for a mission be on a curve, so most of the results are at a reasonable level.

An easy way to fix psi-ops is to just give them no infiltration time on a mission. The first psi soldier can be added for free, and maybe even reduce things overall. They are mind readers after all , which would be a great advantage for infiltration.

Something needs to get done about the scamper mechanic. it is the most annoying thing about Longwar, and is the reason that forces stealth mission or overwatch crawls. It makes maneuvering and flanking and other fun stuff hard too do. When I am fighting a pod. I want to fight that pod, and just that...

I don't know. We haven't heard from them in a while and then we only here this? How do we know this isn't a Faceless infiltrator. That is what is going on. Guys they have been captured by aliens. We need to go rescue them.

Yeah, this is reminding me why I mod out the mobility penalties. The mobility penalties don't provide a challenging fair tradoff. They just flat out limit character options . A lot more builds are possible otherwise, one of them being giving a boltcaster to a Grenadier or Specialist.

The supplies that you get need to be spent on infrastructure, that you just don't have much for making items. Can you be more explicit? What is the "infrastructure" you are spending things on, and how many supplies does it total to? I say the following are must, because they give you the ...

When you are clearly winning a mission , reinforcement pods are fun. You know they are going to just drop down into the middle of your squad, where everyone is waiting on overwatch.

And here is another balance. One that is probably a lot simpler. The reason we are so strapped for supplies at the beginning is because almost everything needs to be put into expansion, because it makes the most strategic choice. The rate of supplies you get can barely keep up with the intel points....

Well yeah their would be 'supplies' needed in making items, but it would be relatively small compared to other things you can do with supplies. Those could be assumed to be covered by the monthly maintenance costs. It costs 160 to build a power relay. The monthly maintenance cost of a power relay is...

After making it into 3 or 4 months into the game, here is a an observation. You are so supply starved. The supplies that you get need to be spent on infrastructure, that you just don't have much for making items. I was finally at the point where I felt I was able to maybe investing a little into ite...

It would be different though if roust gave a complete new ability and not compete with flamer fuel, and was improved just a bit.

How would one be able to change an ability such as the technical's flame throwing from having number of charges to having a 5 turn cooldown instead?

This is the single best (and easiest to implement) technical suggestion I've heard so far. Having only 2 uses on the flamethrower makes it's limited utility vastly more frustrating. Just the simple tweak of giving it a 2-3 turn cooldown, instead of limited uses, means the technical wouldn't have th...

It is all in a single line.

The goal of stealth should be to pick and choose the squad you should first ambush, and not sneak through the whole level. If you want to increase the fighting here are some things that would help, and be cool: - The prison doors on prison rescue missions, involve the proper finger print scan to acc...

You do have an option to do that. After the game starts go into the options menu, and under one of the tabs is the option 'pause on recruit'. I don't understand why that is not enabled by default though. And for each campaign you have to keep resetting it.

For those UI changes listed, yes, they absolutely must be done. Most people have found the PSI weak, and there are about three active threads right now on people complaining about the technical. So these are obviously classes that need improvement. I haven't got to PSI yet, and I am still on early g...

No matter how you put it, even if other classes have the same hacking stat as the specialist, you will still want to use the specialist for hacking. The fact that is remote makes a big difference for the stealth missions, the advanced gremlins give hack bonuses that are not possible to other classes...

In stand by between two campaigns, waiting patch 1.2 and Bronzeman to play again... Please release the kraken ! It is easy to do bronzeman yourself. Include the following in the games launch options: -allowconsole -log -autodebug That enables the debug console. Then during gameplay you can press: ~...

In the first few months I set all rebels in the starting haven to intel, and scan the area with the avenger as much as possible. The other havens I set to mostly recruit and supply and one on intel, until they are built to their max. Most missions that way gives you 9 hours. You can field large squa...

Covering fire is always put at low levels of perk trees. It is useless there. When you level up then , you are selecting a perk that worsens your character rather then make it better. The only reason you would take it is that far in the future it might start being usefull. I am still not fully famil...
