Poison -- hunkering down/not moving?

Okay, i seem to remember that if a soldier got poisoned there was something they could do or not do to avoid getting continually poisoned. I just thought I laid a trap for Sidewinders and boy was i wrong... lost three guys before i knew what hit me. Is there anything, aside from using a specialist w...

STILL love this mod, probably the best mod ever, and since XCO...

Next time PLEASE use the search function. Both of your questions have been explained before. A quote from daeconivory on hiding 1) Hiding is a key tactic in mid/late game regions where you've not liberated yet and Advent is really strong.

HIDING WTF

Why won't the DEVS (who are awesome, and loved by me ... and my wife since she now has complete control of the living room tv) help us out at all with this hiding thing?????? i mean, why is hiding even an option... what does it do, is there any measure anyway.. and what is the deal with dark events ...

New Term for Evac: Drumsticking

I swear, my Sargent, George Mathis, just yelled: "Ready for Evac! We're drumsticking outta here!" It took me a minute to figure this one out, but the evac button DOES look like drumstick

Re: so, questions

You can't overwatch with the Ranger's sawed off shotgun. You wouldn't want to, either, its accuracy drops off even more severely than the normal shotgun and it has limited ammo. You can overwatch with the main weapon shotgun just fine. I guess i was thinking of when a ranger was out of rounds in hi...

Re: So many questions: ANY KND OF MANUAL

Your activity causes advent activity to rise, time causes it to fall. There's some special things like raiding supplies or troop columns weakens advent, and "get advent's attention" or blowing up monuments increase activity in that region but by pulling resources from elsewhere might lowe...

I don't mod so I can't help the first one. On the second, don't hide until advent activity starts to get high. Each action you take (winning missions), and having lots of people doing the same task (like 10 of 13 on intel) increases advent attention on an area. This means harder missions for you, p...
