The concussion rocket does phenominal evironment damage well beyond the actual AoE of the rocket. You can blow cover without spawning smoke on the targets or just level buildings and drop whole pods to their doom. It also comboes insanely well with Shinobi and Assaults as the second wave. Personally...

Like Amineri pointed out, to apply the Stun the drone needs to get really next to you. Thus if it applies a 1 turn stun, chances are that it won't survive another turn to continue stunning the soldier. The 2 turn stun is fine, you not only lose the soldier for that duration, but will also have to t...

In vanilla the AI continually repositions the pods to be on the line between you and the objective. If you try to flank it, all the pods will move to get back in between you and it. That behavior is removed. However there was an additional component where the AI could basically see your threat range...

ADVENT can "over infiltrate" missions just like you can. If you've gotten them upset enough that they overload a mission it may not be possible to stop them.

Sometimes you just have to roll with the punches and fight another day.

Maybe it should be an option considering what Kenshi Shinobis do to reinforment drops.

I always take snapshot for my baby snipers, lategame though I respec them into full squadsight again. Snipers are imo the most useless class early game, snapshot makes them not so useless earlygame. Rapid targetting is pretty good early. Handing out +10s while skirmishing with a pistol gets work do...

The idea is to keep your snapshotter a little back, that way when pods activate the will likely not take cover that's defended well against the snapshotter, letting them move well into some flanks with the crit perks. Except that they will take cover from the rest of the squad, which is in front of...

That penalty is why I never use Snapshot. Just feels like a bad Ranger with a holotargeter at that point.

Readiness is just Infiltration percentage written out. If you have less than 100% you will face more enemies. If you have more (125%, 150%, and 200% are the intended break points) you will face less. The only thing that actually matters is the reported force level on the left. Higher infiltration pe...

Yeah, gotta say I already use Shinobi that way. Most missions my Shinobi never actually attack anything, and yet they are the most important member of the team.

Basic UI mods work fine. Pretty sure they're not built in to LW2 for exactly that reason. I'm pretty sure that's not true; 1) they don't think of every UI tweak possible, even if they could think of them it takes time to implement 2) the designers who play the game use mods like PI and flank evolve...

Considering Valkyrie, Goliath, Jaeger, and Pathfinder are in the character pool editor...yes?

Stupid forum ate my post.

Anyway, intel boosts work fine. You can already do them at any time, and 100% is not the goal, it's the minimum objective.

Radio towers definitely have nothing to do with it. I just located a regional complex without one.

Nice bug sluthing, just got hit with this myself though only on the Proving Ground, came looking for reports.

That's odd. Did you evac all of the rebels as well? This was one of the retals where reinforcements drop constantly, right? I got nine rebels out on the Skyranger. The aliens shot one. All of the aliens seemed to have all been on the map from the start, there were no drops, but the objectives were ...

So I have been playing long war 2 the last few days and enjoying myself when the game just ended with the avatar project completed. I had no doom tracker, no mention of the avatar project at all, possibly because I had not completed one of the first missions 'find a lead' which is a prerequisite. I...

The dark Avenger seems purely visual. I just run a mission and they turn the light back on.

Considering my vanilla strat was to find all the pods and then saturate the area with fire, acid, and gas, causing massive debuffs and DoT over a huge area, the changes seem warranted. Bear in mind that grenades never miss and don't strictly require LoS.

The war crimes grenades were insanely OP.

Something does seem to be off. I rescued 9 of 10, and the whole haven was wiped out. It also told me that the mission was failed despite the objectives being to rescue as many civilians as possible and evac my squad, which is what I did, and pretty well I think.

1) They are mammals. 2) They use swords. 3) They totally kill the agents of the [s]Shogunate[/s] ADVENT Administration. 4) They get some fries at the ADVENT Burger joint on the way home. Sometimes the [s]farmers[/s] human race just get fed up with the [s]samurai[/s] Elders. Edit: Somebody activate t...

Rangers are great from day one. Light 'em Up and Both Barrels are built in at squaddie, no levels or equipment required. You can respec them later into overwatch campers once they have the aim to back it up. They're the basic backbone trooper you can rely on for volume of fire. Everyone else is a sp...
