Re: Avatar progress to fast?

Intel. Get 13 rebels all on Intel in the region. Put a scientist as Haven advisor. Put up a Radio Tower. You probably don't need to do all these things, but doing them all makes revealing Liberation missions with decent infiltration time more of a certain thing than a maybe thing. First stage is un...

Re: Avatar progress to fast?

I don't think the startegy layer needs much tweaking. If you are that far in time, you should ask yourself what you are doing wrong, when the lib chain can be completed on legend difficulty by the end of april. The first liberation should always be your primary concern. And with Advent busy enough,...

+ItemTable=(ItemTemplateName="APRounds", Slots=0, Starting=false, Infinite=true, Buildable=true, essentially, if i change Infinite=false, to Infinite=true, I should be able to have an infinite amount once the first one is built (or so i believed) but instead they are not an option in the l...

Re: Recovering from loss

VIP extracts suck. There's just no reason not to cheese them, as they still play exactly the same as vanilla, but you have to fight through Long War enemies to reach the immobile evac volume or you auto-squadwipe. There's no reason to ever send an actual squad on these. Funny thing is the last hack...

Re: Lost my Campaign - No idea why

Liberation missions will generally look unattractive: short infiltration times, high enemy activity and low resource reward. So if you didn't know to prioritise liberation you probably just skipped them every time. how would we know to prioritize liberation without these forums... hell, i STILL don...

Re: Question about Mobility and Grenades

dang it... so, the smoke grenade and the flash grenade perks count as weight against the soldier... well that just screwed my whole reason for getting the damn things...

So, I tend to have my best soldiers guarding my least populated havens in case of faceless or some other attack. But, when I need a mission or a soldier completes a AWC skill i have to unpile all five haven soldiers, dump all their weapons etc and fill out the best crew for the mission and then put ...
