You need to complete the mission successfully in order for vigilance to increase.

A quick workaround for times like that is to use the ttc command from the console. With the unit selected, move your cursor to the tile you want then enter that command. It's short for Teleport to Cursor.

Not specifically, depends on whether the bug has to do with the soldier having 0 missions. If so then it would, but I haven't tested it out.

The bonuses for will and dodge are in the OfficerPack ini starting at Line 134 LEADERSHIP_WILL_PER_MISSION=1 LEADERSHIP_WILL_CAP=40 LEADERSHIP_DODGE_PER_MISSION=1 LEADERSHIP_DODGE_CAP=20 LEADERSHIP_AIM_PER_MISSION=0 LEADERSHIP_AIM_CAP=0 LEADERSHIP_DEFENSE_PER_MISSION=0 LEADERSHIP_DEFENSE_CAP=0 The i...

No, the bug doesn't have to do with mixed ranks, it has to do with "new" soldiers on their first mission. You can't avoid the bug, but your not really exploiting it if your taking a soldier on their first mission in a squad that you would normally take that soldier. That soldier will just ...

Doubling up on what Jacke said, the 'breakpoints' are not discrete. It's very common that I will check the mission every 2-3% after 100% to see if I hit the 125% breakpoint early. For controlling time on the geoscape you can use the console command `slomo`. Values < 1 will slow down the game clock i...

Right, essentially it would take 8 missions, but you would be guaranteed a level up every mission. What this also means is that there is going to be a slight power drop in the early game as right now this bug is giving rookie way too much XP especially if they are on a mission with someone who is CP...

Do the 1.2 changes only apply to new soldiers, or to existing soldiers who haven't yet revealed their upper level perks? AWC Perks are rolled when the soldier is promoted/created to a class (ie, not a rookie). Even ones you cannot see are already rolled. You can adjust the ini to reveal AWC perks. ...

It would apply to any Rookie, new or existing once they get their first Rank. Once the class is chosen the AWC Perks are picked.

Here's the bug report from a full test run using a Shinobi that I took on a Flech killing spree to level him up.

I checked my logs after running a mission with 1 Squaddie and 1 Rookie. They're not getting XP, rather the game thinks they already have the XP. [1582.30] LWTrace: MissionXP: PreXp=1.2500, PostXP=1.2500, UnitShare=0.0000, Unit=Khamisi Madasa [1582.30] LWTrace: MissionXP: PreXp=1.2500, PostXP=1.2500,...

That's interesting. In my example I did only have 3 rookies alone that had to abort because they got busted with their hand in the cookie jar. I'll have to try this with a ranked soldier, and see If I can get some logging details on it. If that is the case, that sounds like a bug that needs fixing. ...

In the AWCPerk config there are 2 big lists of perks that are available for both offense and defense perks. Some of these perks have exclusion conditions that mean a particular class can't receive perks that either the class already has, or conflicts with certain perks the class has. For example +AW...

Strength depends on an internal hidden variable call Vigilance. Vigilance starts at between 1-4 per region, and the global sum of vigilance scales with difficulty. When you do a normal mission, Vigilance goes up by 1 generally and Get Advent Attention missions push it up by 3. Every 7 days, contacte...

It's a known issue that is being fixed in 1.3

LW2 1.3 Patch Notes

- Fix a bug causing newly-hired units to rapidly level up, especially mid/late game black market purchases.

I don't think its really that bad. You'd probably want to avoid doing a Jailbreak with like 3+ rebels in it because the odds of getting multiple faceless there is high enough that it would probably hurt the haven more than it would help. Although this could also be exploited for some gain. If you do...

According to my own testing and looking at the logs for mission XP output, you do not get any XP for failing with no kills. I sent 3 rookies on a capture item mission. Had to abort because they got spotted. Managed to run away and evac out, looked at the logs and it said that Pre and Post mission XP...

From what I could find, #1 isnt a bug. That project does not seem to affect all PCS modules. Health and Mobility get +1 and Will, Dodge and Hacking get ~+25%.

Your right it doesn't have anything to do with it being the Snare mission, those are always hack missions and require 7+ regional strength. This is just an artifact of the pod spawner seeing those tiles as valid tiles to spawn on. Normally it wouldn't be an issue because the pod would just open the ...

Another note on this and the use of Vulture. Im just crossing into may in a campaign I'm running that has a barracks that is 100% Grenadiers making heavy use of needle grenades. I have so many elerium cores that I actually get a little Icon in the bottom left of the avenger that says UNUSED ELERIUM ...

Personally, I just don't do that many stealth missions. I see it as being completely counterproductive and I think it's why people undervalue upgrades like Vulture, then complain they have no elerium cores! Too funny. In my campaigns, I'm mostly sending out 4-5 man squads. The only real time I steal...

Without actually knowing anything, I'd guess off the top of my head that it doubles the chance. Whether that comes from my experience as a programmer, my experience as a gamer, or out of my ass.... your guess is as good as mine. :) FacelessChance = default.DEFAULT_FACELESS_CHANCE; if (IsDarkEventAc...

What I've been trying out is basically rushing the first region to Lib 3 while expanding to other regions to run missions to keep vigilance from spiking to hard. Ideally I would scan until Lib 1 pops, then contact a 2nd region. Once Lib 1 is complete go back and scan for Lib 2, then back to 2nd regi...
