Holo-Officers are meant to act as scouts, as a replacement for Shinobis. High aim means either low mobility, low defenses, low hp, or all of them combined. That's really not something you want on a scout, specially one that can get spotted more easily. And being a scout means you might not even be i...

So far I had to work around the corpse distribution. I haven't gotten as many Troop Columns as I want, in part because of I'm controlling Strenght by hiding and also because they're harder to detect. - I got only one holo-sharpshooter and I don't even use her. - My shinobis are mostly flank shooters...

RNG? With so many engineers you shoulda excavated super-quick, and with those supplies purchased scientists. I don't use the black market, definitely not for scientists/engies who are ridiculously expensive. yes I've excavated almost everything but I have better things to pend resources on I can't ...

No, it's Strenght 8. [LW_Overhaul.X2LWActivityCreation_Invasion] INVASION_MIN_ALERT_TO_LAUNCH=8 The Strenght going that high is a strong indicator, yes, but not necessarily means it's gonna autogenerate... I think . Anyhow, if I'm reading the XComLW_Activities.ini correctly, the Supply Raid will gen...

The only mission I've been able to fully stealth so far was a Hack with a Highway Overpass. And I had brought a fighting squad. In retrospective maybe I shoulda killed them all for the loot.

I kept 3 and they never detected it That's not gonna work. You can't detect the mission until it's generated (and you won't know when), and when it's generated, you won't have a lot of time to get its intel bucket full so that it pops up in your map. You have to fully dedicate your Haven to detect ...

It'd be nice if we always got a small boss pod on the Troop columns with a single high-tech Alien and say, two escorts. Put a single Archon/M.Elite/Andromedon/Gatekeeper/Sectopod in it as we advance in Alien force level.

Just remember not to overdo-it with the Squaddies and LCPLs, they still suck past early game. I like to play it safe and bring one at a time. Had enough issues already when facing Archons, Heavy MECs and whatnot on Ex Light missions .

The rebel limit doesn't work anymore, I had a Recruit retal happen in a region with 4 rebels on recruit and no faceless (Strenght 5 I believe). What I think happens is that all the rebels working on an ADVENT region have a chance of being detected (depends on Alert and Strenght). When a rebel gets d...

I'm having a hard time understanding what to do on the strategy layer now, because the advent strength increases progressively in all of my 3 regions unless I put almost everyone into hiding, in case of which I'm just sitting there waiting for Advent to stack up on Dark Events Early game try to foc...

I think the issue comes from low cover terrain that you can walk over when on the edge of the detection range. The tile won't show the indicator, and the pathing AI won't recognize it either. It'll mark the destination as safe, but it really isn't.

It's not new in 1.3.

Burnout is so much better tho.

In a perfect world, you'll find unobstructed high ground on the rear of the map for your Sharpshooter to sit on. In the game I play tho, half of the times the high ground has only half cover and there's a pod patrolling close to it. It's also a game where I my Holo-Scout can get revealed or take a p...

If you want to get around this in a gameplay sort of way, make a habit of packing at least one Battle Scanner on your guys and tossing one out in a direction you think the game would screw you over with a yellow alert pod. Won't stop those 20% thru high cover hits tho

Usually when the VIP rescues don't go my way because of timers, or Scientists/Engineers just won't appear I delay the 2nd building (AWC) and use every scrap of money I can muster to buy them out of the Black Market. On my current campaign I had to skip the first Engineer rescue because of a short ti...

If a Supply Raid pops and it doesn't let you at least fully infiltrate a group of 5 (say those Very Light to Light, or 6 soldiers for Moderate) with intel boost, just assume they never popped in the first place. SnG seems to me to be an easier source of income. SnG does not give you bodies for rese...

Wow, didn't even noticed. Thank you!

Also, when are we gonna get patch 1.5? *rookie gets crit'd thru high cover by a disoriented trooper*

I think what you say makes a lot of sense dwarfling specifically for legend difficulty. Besides your liberated region, how many rebels do you try to assign to supplies? Or do you just rely on corpses/resources from troop columns/supply raids to give you enough supplies to keep expanding/upgrading? ...

That is insane

You really gonna bring fluff to a balance discussion?

I agree. Althought I managed to get 10 out of 11 rebels and only got 1 wound, I felt incredibly uneasy during the whole ordeal because the drops were happening on opposite sides super far away. And the drops started at 4 because it was a Strenght 5 region. In June, I got: 1st: Stunlancer, Heavy Gunn...

Version: 1.3 Mods: perfectinformation, flankpreview Save: http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/666897/save120 Recruitment raid, all is going relatively well, except when I try to evac a soldier before the last civilian... I can't. And after I evac the last civilian, POOF, the evac zone dissapears...

I grab it on whoever Assault goes with Trench Gun since now you're not picking Close and Personal.
