After reading this and the other topics on Psi, I can see why so many players now in 1.1 consider it not worth the expense for the Psi Lab nor creating Psi Ops, which is crazy. I'm looked at mods to fix this. Currently these, maybe all of them. Faster Psi Lab Training LW Psi Rookies Partially Gifted

...removing the LW Toolbox mod fixes the problem, and they were correct. When I have the LW Toolbox mod activated [ there were problems ]. The previously released Long War mods for XCOM 2 are now incorporated in the mod Long War 2. You shouldn't install the separate Long War mods at the same time a...

I built the GTS day 1 in my campaign because I highly value being able to chose my recruit's class. Most definitely. And sell some initial loot at the Black Market so you have at least 35 supplies when the GTS is completed so it can be upgraded with an Officer Training Station immediately. Because ...

Since 1.1 fixed the Faceless spies eating all supplies, I find it best to put one or two rebels on supplies. Even on Legendary, start with researching Resistance Comms first and get a 2nd zone. 1 to 2 rebels each, total 3 to 4 supplies will keep you at least slightly positive. Putting rebels on Inte...

There's already a mod that provides this.

When putting Technicals on Haven Advisor, considering Rendezvous missions, do you tend to equip them with SMG's for the mobility and stealth, or do you go with Rifles or Shotguns for the greater mid or short-range damage?

Reddit tells tales of Fall Back soldiers moving forward leaving himself flanked and triggering new pods. A fine example of the AI proving "There's fun. And then there's 'Dwarf Fortress' fun." Nothing like Squaddie Urist McWrongway scouting out the enemy the hard way. :) Speaking of Fall B...

Any idea how to input Unicode characters into the console? I'm trying to adjust soldier "Zuzanna Kozłowska" and finding no way to enter a "Latin Small Letter L With Stroke", the 4th character of her last name. Rename her first via vanilla customization options? Wow, that worked!...

@Ithuriel - Seems you encountered the Doom reinforcements. :) As a rule of thumb I would always take 3 soldiers on any stealthy mission, just in case. You can always boost using Intel to make for the extra infiltration time. What does taking 3 soldiers give you? Frankly I'm not sure they would help...

Long story short, this was the result. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=868768405 This was also a screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=868781486 (ignore the pdf icon, my computer is doing weird things rn) Damn! That's a lot of enemy! And that second...

On Long War 1.1 on PC. Whole pile of XCOM 2 mods, but they shouldn't have any effect here.

Poking around in XComLW_Overhaul.ini and discovered this on lines 383 and 384.
Thought I should report the "CAHCE" typo.

Right now as far as I know, in LW2 the Workshop only provides 1 power and allows 2 Engineers to be doubled up for room support purposes via Gremlins. It would be good if there was more to the Workshop. These two older mods did that for stock XCOM 2. Ultimate Workshop Craft Loot! Build Weapon Mods an...

Completely agree. I tend to make sure Haven Advisors are kitted out for their assignments ahead of time, but being able to adjust it without jumping through hoops would be great.

Thanks for giving the feedback, dude. I've already getting to hate that warning whenever leaving R&D without a research project selected and I don't even have the 20 second delay you do. Too bad it can't be changed to warn when about to go to Geoscape and time to advance, which is when it really...

Looks like it's a mission where you have to throw a flare to open up the evac zone. Doing so will break concealment for all troops without Phantom and for the troop throwing the flare. Doesn't matter here as you've already broken concealment. Look at the 6 blue icons in the upper right. Click on the...

The reality isn't much better. Sure, grenades don't weight that much. But each soldier is carrying about 200-300 rounds of extra ammo as well as 1 or 2 belts for the LMG's. Gameplay wise, looks like Pavonis upped Mobility from stock XCOM 2, which was 12, and made it 15. And took some of it away if y...

Nietzsche was right. XCOM has stared too long into the Abyss and has become what they were fighting.

There's no point to "nerfing" or making 0% harder than it is in a vaccuum , because the end result is we go on few missions ever and we don't have the option to go loud if we want to. You have to do something in addition to make up for it, like make 5-6 men missions much more plausible an...

Note that in the long run, XCOM can't beat ADVENT strength on strength. While you are fighting ADVENT, they are bringing in more troops from offworld and will increase those strategic reinforcements if you do better. If you go so far as to liberate all Earth zones, all of them get a simultaneous inv...

I agree that supplies need to be a little more plentiful. I'm fine with making supplies lean and having all the prioritization choices that accompany that limitation. That's fun, but in the standard LW2, you can barely breathe. .... I would rather play standard LW2, but I actually play with the Ext...

I can see what you're saying, but you remove most of the decision making and benefit of promoting troops. It changes the balance of xcom gameplay too far from the soldier/tactical side to the strategic layer. No, I'm just saying that it's not quite right to put items into the soldier rank choices a...

I think far too many of the perks in the soldiers' rank abilities lists are really a piece of equipment that should be an item instead. Those perks should represent skills learned painfully over many battles. That allows players conscious choices to (if needed) research, perhaps build, and equip the...

It's kind of ridiculous that ADVENT is just leaving these disabled transports hanging around in the wilderness for 2-6 days or whatever . . . They may be aliens, but red tape and stiffing the troops at the sharp end is universal. :D Haven't gotten to any of these missions yet, so I can't personally...

yeah, i am very frustrated by having the choices to hide, supply, intel, recruit but having fuck all idea of their measured effects.... i mean, why add the level of micro manage and then not have the results at least semi measurable .... It's another bunch of info we have to soak up, but at some le...
