Because they're supposed to be a means of reducing ADVENT strength, not making it skyrocket. But Vigilance =/= ADVENT Strength. Your 0% SR is still going to bump off one ADVENT Strength but, if it spikes Vigilance by 5 points, ADVENT is going to flood that region with more legions. Therefore forcin...

Doubt it'd be too hard to add a third if that's what you mean, though.

That is what I am getting at.

Why not just spike Vigilance? Detecting those Supply Raids is going to be hard after one or two full Retaliations.

I don't think we need "Advanced Conditioning and Training." I do think that Combat Fitness should receive a higher weighting as an AWC perk draw. In doing so accomplishes your "Advanced Conditioning and Training" but, with half the balance issues and a tenth of the development ti...

Assaults would be fine with earlier access to CQC, some bonus health / armor somewhere in the tree, and letting run and gun be a 3 turn CD instead of 4. People have complained about the assault since the first days of LW1 and "pod mechanics", yet to me, they're one of highest return rate ...

AWC will not in fact award a perk that is already in their skill tree. I'm curious to see how that may change in 1.2. From the patch notes: - AWC cross-training restrictions reconfigured to exclusively use perk triggers (rather than currently bugged class restrictions). Should see a lot more option...

The concussion rocket would be much more useful if it was a long range large AoE flashbang. I would definitely take it then, even without the stun. As I just posted in the other Rocketeer thread, a guaranteed Disorient is necessary for Concussion Rocket to be considered an alternative to Flashbangs...

I like the idea of the Concussion Rocket but, I think it needs to guarantee Disorient with a chance for Stun. Otherwise, why take not just use a Flashb- Oh wait... The ability to load different kinds of rockets, like Frag or HEAT (even Thermobaric would be tight but, difficult to implement correctly...

I play with zero class deck weighting and require soldiers be Sergeant, or higher, to receive Officer and AWC training. I also play with NCE and Hidden Potential. As a compromise, I've allowed AWC perks to be visible. It hasn't felt terribly broken. I also find myself investing in more T2/T3 perks t...

Not a bad idea, but possibly complex from a code/inventory standpoint. Make two Gauntlets. Rocket Gauntlet and Flamer Gauntlet. Proving Grounds upgrade provides one of each when built. Alternatively (and as it was stated above), allow Technicals to have the equivalent of a Grenadier utility slot. O...

DefaultClassData.ini NumInForcedDeck = 0 NumInDeck = 0 This edit removes the specific soldier class from initial promotion screens, note that you can still receive this class as a reward or for hire in the Black Market. Wait, so you can't auto-promote into certain classes? Why is that a suggested i...

A cursory glance at Reddit would reveal that Mutons did indeed counterattack vanilla Bladestorm.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/ ... nd_mutons/

Feels a bit UP when compared to say... Close Combat Specialist and/or Close Encounters.

Did you guys know that? I mean if you slash muton by your will - it`s your mistake, but if you see muton running near your shinobi it`s totally out of your control and you are just: "No, please, no, no don`t hit him.. Shit, told ya" Not sure if it is intended or not. This was how Bladesto...

Normal overwatch should be a option when you learn Covering fire. that was problem from LW1. Or change functionality of Covering Fire to be similar to Suppression. Targeted effect that triggers on any non-move action the target takes but, doesn't apply the aim penalty. Ignores cover bonus as a trad...

Not sure why covering fire does not ignore cover bonus. It always should have as you are shooting at someone coming out of cover to fire at you. Makes it a good perk and makes sense. Should've been this way since eu... That certainly would boost the utility of Covering Fire, might even encourage an...

It's the "Snare" Mission type. Normal Hack mission except, all enemies start with Yellow Alert and Reinforcements start showing up immediately after the hack is completed.

Perhaps one day PI will emulate the E3 mission in LW2.
