Another thing that is important is how well the strategic game is played. And that can be difficult as their are very little guidelines on what the different mission types mean. One thing that is important is knowing when and how many guys to put on intel. If you just have a few guys on intel in a h...

I have a question. Those of you saying the game is heavily stealthed based, do you have the extra map packs installed? My understanding is that Longwar is unbalanced for those, as a lot of those maps are bigger. And if the number of pods are the same it would make the map less dense. That would not ...

What does advent strength mean exactly. Is this the type of enemy troops you will find on missions. Does it effect the number of aliens on missions, or both?

I don't really think the purpose of stealth in the base game or long war is so you can avoid all combat in missions.
