During my recent 1.3 campaigns I've been struggling to find a balance between stealth and assault. Although 1.3 was aimed at increasing the effectiveness of medium sized squads I don't think I've been able to utilize these changes optimally. I can still cheese 2-3 man stealth missions, and going in ...

Congrats on your victory! I've been trying to play through L/I in 1.3 and haven't been successful yet. I was wondering if you could give some pointers about how you manage your rebels and and advent strength. When did you switch from all intel to adding recruits and supplies? Also, what was your str...

If you're asking what to do with the snipers I would make a mix of DFA/snapshot snipers for untimed/timed missions respectively. Keep the shinobi as a stealth spotter and let your other soldiers be a mix of high CC and burst damage (think technical, assault, suppression gunner, support grenadier). A...

I agree with pretty much everyone that RNG grenades do nothing to enhance the game. The most reasonable nerf in my opinion is increasing infiltration time and/or item weight for incendiaries, as well as changing the damage. 1-2 base damage with 1-2 burning damage seems fair to me given there is a 10...

Can someone please explain the difference between supply raids and troop columns to me? I understand that supply raids are a reinforcement mechanism where 1 point of strength gets pushed from one region to an adjacent region and if you successfully complete the supply raid that point of strength dis...

It consistently procs on archons for me, but I have only encountered 3 or 4 this campaign so there may be a scenario where it doesn't

I noticed that the mini-retaliations are outdated on ufopaedia. What else have you seen that is no longer relevant or accurate? I think any mechanics changes are covered in the patch notes - it may be worth comparing the two if you're trying to review a specific mechanic.

Welcome to the forum. Ufopaedia has some great articles that explain the game really well. They are a bit tricky, and I had to read through them multiple times at first to fully grasp some of the more complicated mechanics. In my opinion the intricacies are part of what makes long war so great thoug...

I wanted to start a conversation on how best to buff the Specialist Interference ability, which costs 1 action to cancel Overwatch on an enemy unit. Here are mine: (1) Make it a free ("green") action . This might make it preferable to just using Combat Protocol sometimes, even if both hav...

Something similar happened to me today as well. On legend a 3 strength region triggers a recruitment retaliation (emergency evac mission) which is very light. Immediately after my first turn reinforcements drop and 3 other pods trigger activating 11 enemies. It's unwinnable, it feels like moderate o...

Allow VIPs to pick up loot. I understand them not being able to carry a soldier who is bleeding out, but why can't they bend down and pick up a scope or a datapad they're standing next to?

Hey everyone, I recently started a 1.3 campaign on legend and am a little confused about the retaliation mechanics. I have read the articles at ufopaedia as well as the 1.3 patch notes about how raids are supposed to work but they seem to be working differently in my campaign. The notes state: "...
