About 10 seconds into this clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/HardHeadstrongCakeKappaWealth Llama activated Reaper, then crit fleched the berserker queen to death for 12, and followed up with this attack, which gave the target drone +1 hp. He then gave his soldier an another action trough console and rep...

Exactly 100%.

Mission was a lib1 very light in a strength 3 region, recover item from train mission. First reinforcement showed up one turn after the mission timer ran out, which I hacked on the last turn, and consisted of a sectopod plus one ADVENT. That seems WAY overkill to me, is it intended or did the game b...

Removing someone from a squad is a click of a button. Having enough soldiers requires making the right call on how many rebels to set on recruit, how much to spend buying soldiers from the black market and the deciding to spend resources on those rookies early enough to let their GTS timers process ...

Yes, that seems like the obvious explanation

Ok, I found the bug. First of all, thanks for a save with minimal mods installed. This actually helped a *ton*, because it meant I could use the replay feature of the game to walk back and forth through your mission. I can almost never use this, because it crashes when my modlist doesn't match the ...

Yes, I said that if all your available soldiers are in squads, you need more soldiers, while also saying that "this aspect could use a UI upgrade though, so sending someone who is in a squad to a haven is possible but removes them from the squad at the same time. " We both know this "...

It is literally impossible for squad mechanics to interfere with gameplay. At the very worst, it does nothing at all, because you choose to go on the "I want a perfect squad for every mission" side of the spectrum instead of "I want to build long term bonuses more efficiently" s...

When you face Gatekeepers or Sectopods that have 6+ armor, you're gonna really appreciate the shred. Shredder ammo shreds for 1. That doesn't really make a dent. When you face those things, you need someone with the perk so you shred 2 per shot, or preferably a shredstorm cannon. Yeah, it's the per...

Just one last remark: Yes flavour is important. However flavor - for me - almost always takes a backseat to gameplay. Your example of xcom as a game of "geometric figures" totally misses the point, because introducing the flavor of fighting aliens instead of squares doesnt mess with the g...

After. Shredding is not really worth it as very few enemies have enough armor and HP to make them more than 2-3 shot kills. When you face Gatekeepers or Sectopods that have 6+ armor, you're gonna really appreciate the shred. Shredder ammo shreds for 1. That doesn't really make a dent. When you face...

Thanks for all that feedback Jadiel! At the moment it feels to me that unlike LW1, core upgrades (weapons and armor) dominate all other choices (autopsies, etc). None of the autopsies provide items which feel necessary, and the damage and survivability upgrades make such a huge difference to your e...

Well, then you failed to recruit and GTS up enough troops to fill those slots, and you simply need to remove someone from a squad to send in. This aspect could use a UI upgrade though, so sending someone who is in a squad to a haven is possible but removes them from the squad at the same time. The ...

The way I use squads is like this: Most of my squads are set up as 5-men teams with 1 Shinobi, 1 Specialist, 2 shooty-killy dudes (Gunner, Ranger, Snapshooter or Assault) and 1 crowd control dude (grenadier or tech). Usually the Spec or Tech will be the officer. Then I have a giant pool (at least a...

Haven defense ONLY has reinforcements. Are you talking about the terror style retaliation?

This is hard to reproduce since it requires very specific circumstances, but it seems that if you go on rapid reaction OW during your turn and activate a pod and fire on it, but do not use up all your OW shots, you are still able to take 3 shots during the alien turn. I was on the forge mission, act...

bountygiver wrote:Veteran gives 75% more infiltration, but it's still based on current infiltration so 1% +0.75%≈2%

Yes, but that would show as a 1 turning into a 2. A 2 into a 2 is only possible with 50% infil bonus.

What difficulty are you playing on?

You just changed the "lead" text to "Lead", so I assume you want this gone, but there is still a distinction in there. Liberation one description at the bottom reads "We HAVE discovered...", while the other mission types omit the "have". Combined with the inte...

Also, do grenades from grenade launchers and rockets make sound from the point of exit or do they make the sound from where they end up landing? Based on the "upcoming 1.3 notes" at the top of this forum, the current way things work is the noise is from the point of exit (where the soldie...

Are you using anyone with grazing fire? If so then those results make a lot of sense. If not then something's off, because graze is 20% in the absence of crit and dodge, and unless a huge portion of your shots were taken against vipers I can't imagine your average dodge chance being higher than you...

Thanks

This is likely very easy to do if you know where the text messages are stored, but unfortunately I don't. You've probably forgotten to throw the evac flare after breaking concealment as many times as I have, so having a reminder pop up when you do would be nice, and I suspect this would be the easie...

Three in a row now. Whatever it is, it's pretty consistent. Probably can't continue this campaign until it's fixed, at 3 pips left it might already be too late to find a facility lead, let alone when I have to risk troops and intel on doing baseline moderate+ hacking missions in stength 10 regions ...
