I just had my start region attacked, it was advent strength 10, needless to say I didn't even bother defending. All my rebels 16 or so were killed. My advisor however.....was still in his advisor slot right as rain! I guess he found a good rock to hide under.

I just had a different version of a retaliation, I've never seen it before. Rebels on a recruiting mission got busted, Xcom squad goes in to extract the rebels, Big Sky returns for the squad, mission intel says it's extremely light but reinforcements keep dropping. It's a brutal but fun mission. Wit...

I did my first retaliation which was fine, a few faceless to start and the reinforcements every turn as expected. On my second retaliation, there were a whole bunch of enemies on the map to start with as well as reinforcements every turn! :twisted: Does anyone know the reason for this? Is it relate...

I had the same thing happen to me. I am playing Legend Ironman so don't have a save. 3 pods spawned (pod of 6, 2 pods of 4) on top of each other right next to the evac and where the squad spawned. 1 pod activated before the turn started and there were reinforcements every turn. Only 3 members of th...

Nope, only other mods I run are cosmetic ones and extra map packs. I was surprised that the reinforcements kept dropping. I can post a saved game if needs be.

OK, thanks a lot. The second one seems a lot more difficult, especially with the reinforcements every turn that also seem to drop in different locations, unlike the supply convoy defense.

I found them to be very useful if they have high aim as they can squad site move and fire, add a stock too and they can be pretty lethal especially kicking off an ambush, esp with as they can reliably kill of low health units. I had a dark vip mission pop with barely anytime for infiltration, i took...

[*]Are corpses destroyed by any subsequent explosives that land on them?[/list][/quote] Shooting gas canisters and killing the aliens will destroy their corpse. It just happened to me yesterday on gatecrasher, shot a gas canister, it blew up and killed the officer. At the end of gatecrasher you rece...

Just got to work and read this!

Thanks a lot for this guys, I appreciate all the work and time spent on this as well as LW1. Really looking forward to going home and stressing out over my next play through!!

Also had this when using as mech as cover. A stun lancer used the mech as cover on the alien's turn, I moved the mech to expose the lancer to fire, apparently it was still in full cover!

Don't forget you also get bodies from the alien infiltrator mission. I got unlucky and struggled for officer, stun lancer and drones corpses/wrecks but got some infiltrator missions where I got them, tons of faceless too.

I actually did this for the first time yesterday, though tbf it was my own fault for rushing and not double checking what my rebels were carrying. I like this: This was the LW1 (probably stock XCom EW) smoke grenade icon http://www.ufopaedia.org/images/4/44/SUPPORT_SMOKEGRENADE.png It's actually use...

Yeah, Exalt Rocketeers.......

O.K thanks for the replies, glad to hear that everything is working properly. Also thanks for the mod, it's fantastic! A lot of cry babies out there but I don't think they understand the whole concept of the long war. Keep up the great work!

On the topic of bugs, a gunner suppressed my technical, then I suppressed the gunner which broke his suppression but my technical still had the debuff and could not use the flamethrower. I was able to run the technical around without reaction fire though. I had the same thing happen to me too, thou...

I'm not complaining as I feel i'm getting too lucky, though 3 months into my campaign I haven't seen any advent troops using special abilities. The officer, stun lancer and gunner seem o.k but the mecs, rocketeers and engineers haven't used any explosives against me. I always try and keep them stunn...
