There is no squad size upgrade. Missions have soldier limit. You don't even need to have squads.

Re: How early is too early to liberate?
To be honest my playstyle is - hard mission = burn and rocket and shoot after cover is gone. I will try to make one DFA but this will reduce number of missions that I can have. I m trying to squeeze as much as I can with phantom Snipers. I have Shinobi-Specialist-Technical small teams to do hack and...

Re: Legendary campaign (including 14 man GOPs with 200 mods)
Mission 1 Jailbreak has spawned me near 3 pods. Have no clue why this become very light mission but I will not complain. Huge building is whole map and I m in bottom. Map is not huge but I have 22 turns timer. I m in low cover unable to move and can't dash vs 2 Advent officers and some 5 HP troops ....

Re: How early is too early to liberate?
Because I can't get good DFA sniper that early or train one. I must use them as Phantoms to cover missions without Shinobi. My Assaults go full Right path or they are dead/30 days out of action (they can be dead with this wound time). Just use every sniper you have. Do the map with Shinobi/Sniper co...

Re: How early is too early to liberate?
How many regions do you control ? Liberation chain in starting region is bad in my opinion, you will screw up all cheap to contact regions. Farming in those regions is more important than Liberation. 8-10 man away is big hit to expansion. Usually last two pods don't go far from each other and you wi...

Re: Commander mag and psi rush campaigns
Rush break point is fifth region. All extra 4 regions have one thing in common they are cheap to contact. You can't raise Vigilance that much so you will have endless supply of scientist/ jailbreaks. Scientist / rebels will ensure better detection without Avenger. Most income and EXP will come from ...

Five region approach
It is possible to contact all four neighboring regions before May (mid April). This is time when Strength of starting region(s) is start to skyrocket. Five regions can remedy this (Vigilance/Strength ratio) . Advent will try to reinforce all. By manipulating vigilance you can create endless supply r...

Re: Equipping soldiers during Campaign?
120 is small barracks in my opinion. With starting 21 I usually hit 30 at the end of the March So multiple A-Teams must still grab what they can. Also I do not suicide rookies - best way to do a extra mission (more loot). Shinobi alone can do the 1 day mission. Shinobi and Specialist/Phantom Sniper ...

Re: Commander mag and psi rush campaigns
No supply for haven - recruit/intel. I did one 0% infiltration Lib 1 (first one) by mistake. Almost screwed my strategy timing because I could not send Avenger on two places at same time (Black market and next bulk of missions). I avoid 0% early . 50%-70% is enough above 70% there is not enough Adve...

Re: Commander mag and psi rush campaigns

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=925598042 Other way is to count missions they add +1 to Vigilance. Your aim is to keep it at 7 max if you wan't extra missions in region. You will have missions even you hit more than 7 Vigilance but for early game this is your number for best resu...

If you do not play Legendary : Having 8 man GOPs is powerful tool to have everything. Extra exp alone makes strong squads. So read Psieye's comments/threads how to get them and how to farm with them. He actually broke the Commander difficulty with 8 man GOPs. Tip use two Specialist in squad for that...

Re: Technical Flame Guy
I found that Formidable is one that I pick always on any class.
Not because I want tank - if I do not pick it I regret it.
Somehow this reduces my builds.
Never picked Fortify before but is quite useful now.

Re: Legend campaign failure - report and how to improve
It is usually mess but switching Avenger from region to region should net you better mission timers and more missions. 1st mission is easier to detect because it is mission with better dice roll. 2nd mission (just detected later) is more like small team mission You have barracks of 21+ and some miss...

Re: Legend campaign failure - report and how to improve
Liberation 1 will spawn after 3 weeks You will start with 5 rebels + faceless. 5 rebels will give you 8-3 days mission. This can be fine if both missions roll early detection. If they don't - one 3 days mission can screw you . You can't buy scientist yet . My advice is - If you detect bad timers - l...
